MOODY’S INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
The Democrats’ claim that
Dumont was totally mismanaged for years is absolutely false !!!!
Taken directly from the
independent rating firm Moody’s from April, 2003, the prior
administration maintained Dumont’s “A”
financial rating in 2003 as it had for years.

MOODY'S ASSIGNS
AN A2 RATING TO THE BOROUGH OF DUMONT'S (NJ) $3.2 MILLION
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2003 The current issue is
secured by the borough's general obligation unlimited tax
pledge. The A2 rating reflects the borough's fully developed,
stable tax base, low debt burden, stable financial operations
and Moody's expectation of maintenance of reserve levels. The
borough expects to issue approximately $1.3 million of Bond
Anticipation Notes in 2003. The borough has traditionally
replenished all appropriated fund balance. Public Finance

Again,
taken direct from Moody’s, in June of 2006, Dumont’s financial
rating was downgraded to “B” classification. As you can
clearly see, Moody's attributed the downgrade to
fiscal 2004 and 2005 deferred charges and debt, both years of which
McQuade and his fellow Democrats totally
controlled Dumont’s finances
