The claims made by these two elected members of the Jackson | government were not only false, inaccurate, intentionally misleading and flat out wrong, T believe there was also a touch of malice included in those statements. As I have previously spoken to you, Helene, I alerted the township in January of 2016 as to the purchasing habits of Jackson doing single insertions advertising. You had said you do not wish to look into scheduling back then. When the Rec Dept. approached me for advertising last year, I advised them of bulk insertion rates and they actually negotiated their rate doun $200. As with any product, when you buy 1 there are added costs of producing a one tine product. In our case, advertising costs and the last minute administration of a one-time ad are factored inte our rates. There are expenses to that. This year, the rec department once again scheduléd three and are getting a fair rate. The DPW ad in question came in as a last minute single insertion so yes, there is a premium for that and I even did discount it for them despite the single insertion since there was no’ad design work involved. on the matter of the comments made by the township through the council members, as I have asked MANY times over the years. 2/15/2017 8:58 AM.Zimbra 40f8 bttps://mail jacksonnj.neth/printmessage?idL14467&tzAmerica If the council feels our preduct is inferior, that is their prerogative and choice, but T hope they will now back up their slanderous statements with facts. i provide the township regularly with certified postal receipts. According to the township code, a newspaper is one “duly entered with the Bost Office Department of the United States” I have provided the township with my proof of circulation many times, certified by the US Postal Service. T will give the township some time to correct these blatant lies spewed by your council members before seeking legal advice on how to proceed with this act of defamation against my business from the township. The facts are there. Perhaps a true audit of advertisers should be conducted. I have provided my numbers, but those the council members prefers have never provided or certified their numbers.. How can your government body compare a publication delivered to 21,500 mailboxes and certified versus a newspaper that prints roughly 10,000 copies and drops on various driveways with a large majority in bulk drops around town. I would 1ike an immediate retraction of the damaging comments these elected officials used to attack my business in a politically motivated attack against my business. The comments made by the council to the public have also been quoted by a local media source. These comments are inaccurate, wrong and should be immediately corrected. township-exorbitant/ 2/15/2017 8:58 AMZimbra li https: mail, jacksonnj.nevn/printmessage Their comments are also an attack on my first amendment rights as a newspaper to publish factual information, even if the governing body does not agree with these facts. I view those comments as an attempt at financial retribution against my business, which has a great reputation in town outside of Jackson's close-knit political circles and their comments sought only to damage that reputation If my publication has published any false facts regarding Jackson Township, I am always open to honor that discussion, but I am confident that is not the issue here. I do expect an inmediate correction to false statements made by the council. I would also question Mr. Calogero’s vote to withhold payment for services rendered and contractually obligated to pay. I would also like to point out that our competitor’s rate is equal to ours for less distribution and non-mailbox delivery. JACKSON Times full page $595 + $200 for color = $800, so considering our value, circulation and distribution we are 4 their price AND we prove our numbers and circulation regularly. I also invite you to cali our publisher, Evergreen Printing out of Belmawr, NJ. T have spoken to our account rep to speak freely to you about our account with them. Again, I do expect immediate clarification be given and for the township to reach out to reporters who may have published their erroneous information they provided them. 2/15/2017 8:58 AMZimbra 60f8 From the meeting mioutes: Councilman Calogero had questioned if P1603018 was a full-page ad and Administrator Schlegel confirmed it was. Councilman Calogero voted no as he believed it was an exorbitant fee and believes they could do better in the future. Council Vice President Bressi concurred with Councilman Calogero. He felt it needs to be looked in the future as the cost is high and advertising a document that doesn’t meet the criteria to be a legal advertising newspaper for the Township. Being it is on the Bill List, T will vote yes. Jackson Township Council Meeting of December 27, 2016 wadvertising in a document that doesn’t meet the legal advertising criteria to be a newspaper for the township. How are we reaching our residents if it’s not qualified,” Bressi said. Township Code Re: Newspaper: Article T:Newspapers and Handbills [Adopted 6-12-1973 by Ord. No. 26-73 (Ch. 74, Art.

For the township record. JACKSON, NJ-The Jackson Township Council has criticized JTOWN Magazine over the local news magazine's support of American union labor in a recent outburst at a town hall meeting. ‘The township council lashed out at JTORN Magazine's open print rate of $800 for a single insertion in the magazine, despite that rate being lower than rates advertised in the Jackson Times which was referenced as a “cheaper alternative". "phe council's claim is without factual basis, uniformed and nothing but an attack on our publication because our news coverage wasn't to their favor during the last election," said Editor Phil Stilton. "It's also an assault fot6 2/15/2017 8:59 AMZimbra 2ofé bitpsiffmeiljacksonn).nevhiprintmessage?id=1144688t2=America... against hard working union labor in America. Nothing but more political hyperbole of politicians protecting their own campaign gravy train.” stilton said JTOWN Magazine proudly utilizes union labor in their production and delivery process. "We offer a better quality product and reach more homes than our competitors, at a lower rate and with full utilization of union labor from production to delivery," Stilton added. "We can of course lower our rates significantly if we had our magazine delivered by non-union Grivers who speed through neighborhoods in unmarked white utility vans, throwing it in driveways, but I have respect for our unions, our product and our residents, so I choose to use the United States Postal Service. We're one of their biggest clients in Jackson Township and proud to do our part to support the United States Postal Service and to help keep members of the American Postal Workers Union employed despite a massive downturn in their industry. T ama believer in the post office and their union employees. T ama supporter of union labor. No media in Ocean County supports union labor like we do, including our police unions. "T would have expected then Council President Robert Nixon to have interjected this assault on unions by his council partners,” stilton added. “after all, Mr. Nixon is a lobbyist for public workers unions and understands more than anyone else the importance of labor unions and workers rights in America and the cost associated with treating America's workers better." Stilton said the added benefits to the town are also beneficial 2/15/2017 8:59 AMZimbra 43006 ‘tps://mailjacksonnj.neth/printmessage?id=1 144688t2—America. to the community. Nearly 10,000 Jackson residents follow JTOWN Magazine on social media where the company regularly posts township news, council meeting minutes, agenda postings and meeting dates and reports to the community. Micromedia, the competitor reference by the township reaches just 2,400. UTOWN Magazine regularly promotes and supports community charities, providing free advertising to schools and other community causes and dedicated pages of its magazine each month to efforts such as increasing drug awareness, safe driving for students, non-profits, sports leagues and whoever asks for the free services it provides the community. "The added bonus of the publication being put in mailboxes comes with an unfortunate cost, by the fact, that it doesn't sit on driveways in rain and snow or blow away to litter our community and block storm drains, which is a complaint I have heard from township workers who clear storm drains." Stilton added. "However that cost is negated Stilton also said the township knew the numbers before the statement was made, but made the remarks regardless in an effort to discredit the publication in public. In January of 2016, Stilton contacted township business administrator Helene Schlegel to inform her of the township not taking advantage of pre-scheduling and bulk insertions. "I reached out to the town last January as I did every year prior to work on lowering the rates. Even though one department paid $800 for a single insertion, the Recreation Department who did negotiate a rate and a package campaign saved the township hundreds of dollars,” Stilton said "Business 2/15/2017 8:59 AM.Zimbra 40f6 htps:/imail jacksonnj.nevh/printmessageid1 144688t2—America is about negotiating. Even though our published rates are lower than the others, we do allow for bulk discounts and some level of negotiating contracts. I cannot be blamed if a department chose to just run a single insertion. They had no other ads to run all year. I asked the township to bundle all of the spending into one contract to lower the rates but the township was not interested in bundling all departments together for lower rates." "The fabricated story by the township was also covered recently ina political attack blog that further shows the intent of their predatory and harmful intent," Stilton said. "Contrary to what the council, who reads bills and claims only minutes before arriving in town hall claim, JTOWN Magazine has a wonderful working relationship with the Township of Jackson and values that relationship. It seems that a couple of councilmembers for whatever their reason is, don't want to maintain that relationship." "I also found out that the same council members who balked at our rates had no problem paying that same rate for their political campaign ads just weeks before in another publication," Stilton said. "Councilmen Nixon, Calogero and Bressi had no problem paying that rate when the money came from high powered politically aligned professionals in return for six figure contract awards to those professionals." While the council claims a competitor can run the same ad for $595, they failed to mention that same publication also charges $225 for color. JTOWN magazine includes color in their rates 2/15/2017 8:59 AMZimbra Sof6 hitps:/imail jacksonnj nevt/printmessage?id=114468&tz=America. "The township should immediately issue a retraction or correction on those false statements and maybe make a statement based in the world of reality," Stilton added. "I have asked the township to do an apples to apples audit of print advertising many times over the years and they refuse to hold publishers accountable to their numbers and their claims. JTOWN Magazine nails out 21,500 magazines each month and our numbers are certified by the hard working postal employees. I have been told by mayors in other towns that the competitor's circulation is only 10,000 copies, which would make our rates 1/2 the price of theirs per home. When you factor in mailbox delivery and all of the things we do for the township for free outside of advertising rates, they can't find a better deal, but if they want to use the alternative, that's their choice. They have a history of making bad decisions, so this is par for the course. What is truly in exorbitant in Jackson is the rampant nepotism and political patronage." "Due to the misinformation presented by this council, we had several advertisers leave us this week,” Stilton added. "In the end making some cuts this month, I have to cut our charity sponsorships in order to print this month, but we'll make up for it next month or the month after.” "T will not let this local governing body impede on our first amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press," stilton concluded. "This is Jackson Township, not Nazi Germany. We are free to speak our voices and opinions without political persecution.” Hi Gavin. 2/15/2017 8:59 AM.Zimbra bttps:/mail.jacksonaj.net/hvprintmessage?id=114468£tz-Aunerica Phil Stilton Shore News Network www.shorenewsnetwork.com Editor, CEO 732-575-4891 Bee 3/15/2017 8:59 AM
