I was amazed when I read last week's Current to find that Mayor Purdy owes $2,500 in unpaid taxes on two of his properties. How can we expect Galloway Township to fix its budget woes when our top elected leader can't even pay his taxes on time?

Despite policy differences, Republicans and Democrats generally agree that our government has a duty to its citizens to provide basic services for the community.
Purdy right on separation of church and state

To the editor:
When people wonder why Galloway is in a huge financial hole, look no further than this letter and the comments of some of the voters and the council members.
Many times I disagree with the actions of Mayor Purdy, but on this one, I agree with his statement that he “likes the separation of church and state” and that in the moment of silence, “We all pray in our own ways.”

Please share in your next edition.
Dear residents of Galloway,

Recent letters criticizing my candidacy for Galloway Township Council are factually inaccurate and calculated to mislead the electorate.
Unborn children have a right to life

To the editor:
In a recent letter to the opinion column entitled "Call it pro birth not pro life," the writer stated that most Democrats and Republicans are pro choice, not pro abortion. The writer would do well to examine the 2012 plank for the Republican Party as it states that the unborn child has a right to life.
What is really being said when one is said to be pro choice? Isn't it a given that the first and automatic choice is life, in which case the death of the child would be the product being able to choose something other than pro life? Is there anything confusing about that?
Why would Galloway taxpayers want Mooney?

In the past two years, Galloway has been the laughingstock of Atlantic County due to the dysfunction on council and in the township administration:
Taxing the rich less won’t create jobs

To the editor:
Some 60 percent of the income owned by the Forbes 400 comes from capital gains, which are taxed at just 15 percent. Forbes 400 members are part of the top 0.1 percent, who capture half of all net increases in capital gains.
Let’s not begrudge the crème de la crème of America’s economy. Much of their collective wealth was earned through innovation and hard work, never mind that a sizable portion was inherited. However, when presidential candidate Mitt Romney asserts that if elected, he will strive to eliminate the capital gains tax altogether, we must scratch our heads and wonder.
