The Mayor’s Spin Machine: Turning Resident Concerns Into Political Attacks

Clean drinking water is not anti-school. Taxpayer oversight is not anti-safety. And questioning powerline failures is not anti-Holmdel.

This post was contributed by a community member.

The Mayor's latest Patch post is not leadership. It is political spin once again.

He takes Kristin Celauro’s stand against sewage contamination, clean drinking water risks, and irresponsible developer giveaways — and twists it into “she is against helping our schools.”

That is false.

Kristin’s position has been clear: protect Holmdel’s drinking water, protect public health, protect our schools, and stop reckless development deals that put developers ahead of residents.

He does the same thing to Ron Emma.

Ron asks hard questions about infrastructure spending, dispatch changes, and whether taxpayer money is being used wisely. Rocco spins that into “Ron is against public safety.”

That is also false.

Questioning whether millions of dollars are being spent wisely is not anti-police. It is fiscal responsibility. It is exactly what elected officials are supposed to do.

This is Rocco Impreveduto’s pattern: take legitimate resident concerns, distort them, slap a scary label on them, and hope voters do not notice.

Clean water is not anti-school.

Fiscal oversight is not anti-public safety.

Opposing wasteful developer-driven spending is not anti-Holmdel.

Rocco Impreveduto’s post is not “irrefutable fact.” It is damage control dressed up as truth.

Vote for Celauro/Emma - 5E/4E
