NJ assemblywoman's husband sought help from Habitat for Humanity in rebuilding $465K shore home
NJ Advance Media for NJ.com ^ | February 20, 2015

State Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Union) tonight acknowledged that her husband got help from a non-profit group that assists low-income homeowners in demolishing a shore home severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy that records show had been purchased for nearly a half-million dollars.

The owner of the Manasquan home — identified in public records as Richard Stender, the assemblywoman's husband — applied to Monmouth County-based Coastal Habitat for Humanity for help, said Maureen Mulligan, the group's executive director.

Probably a Democrat, so there’s nothing to see here.

Now, give a Republican a free donut and He Must Resign!

Of course spending with other people’s money, never their own.

Democrats are LIARS and CHEATERS...PERIOD.....there is not one good decent one.

Very astute! Maybe they should start calling it Habitats for Democrats!

Not that I'm making excuses but in these parts, a $465K home is pretty much equivalent to a cottage.

Sleazy dem0crats. Only good enough for ‘government work,’ useless in the private sector.

It’s a 640 sq. ft. home. That’s pretty much a room. Plus, she doesn’t live there, husband does. She lives with her mother who is “like 90 years old”....not sure what exactly that means.

I couldn’t see the size of the property, but if Habitat for Democrats tore down a 640 sq. ft. “home”, they have pretty much increased the value of the property. It will be on the market soon, I suspect.

This may be perfectly alright. I have wealthy clients who donate to Habitat for Humanity by giving them items they deconstructed from their home. These could include windows, doors, cabinets, etc. I understand that Habitat will sometime send a crew to help with deconstruction so to preserve the items.

I can see where it could be easy to spin out of context.

Oh yeah, Habitat has stores called Restore. Kind of like Goodwill for homeowners.

So did they get help demolishing their home, or did Habitat offer to help in exchange for whatever they could recover for their Re-Store such as all the fixtures and appliances that could be recovered from the home?

Gonna bet that the later is more likely. Now of course, it'd be fun to pull the tax records for the politician and see if he wrote off the entire ‘donation’ of goods to Habitat, or just the difference between the value of the goods, and the value of the demolition.

‘course, if the home was declared a total loss, claiming the value of donations from that home which is now owned by the insurance company would be grand theft and tax fraud...

This really pisses me off. Monmouth/Ocean County is a Republican district and most people either lost their homes or parted with their pocketbooks.

Yeah, my wife had to help actually do some fixit work in a ReStore store not too long ago - it was a group of them from where they work going to help.
