From The Courier-Post, covering South Jersey in the Camden area:

Following a November election that gave Republicans a 5-4 majority on the township committee, the local governing body dumped Robert Churchill as the township engineer.

Churchill, whose firm was the largest campaign donor to the local Democrats last year, giving $10,400, had been township engineer when that party was in the majority on the committee for many years up until December.

Not willing to let a key supporter lose his lucrative township business, the Democrats on the committee tossed Churchill's firm more than $600,000 worth of contracts two weeks after the election while they still had a majority.

The replacement firm gave $2,500 to the victorious Republicans.The paper’s suggested remedy:

…prevent firms or individuals who have given to local candidates from being eligible to do work for the township

Although I found this on Google because of 8th congressional district GOP candidate Robert Churchill’s name, there obviously is no connection with the state representative.
