Cavecche’s campaign has mailed out a flier to households highlighting Councilman Jon Dumitru’s Chapter 7 bankruptcy 14 years ago.

The mailer claims Dumitru had “dozens” of unpaid credit cards and debts to weight-loss doctors and plastic surgeons as well as the Luxor Hotel and Casino – noting that Dumitru was gainfully employed but “just decided to stop paying his bills.”

Bankruptcy records Dumitru provided showed he claimed $49,000 in debt (Dumitru said he actually settled his Luxor bill). His bankruptcy was approved by a federal court.

Dumitru, a fire dispatcher, said he was overwhelmed financially then but learned from his experiences.

“I had to make a tough decision that has lived with me ever since,” Dumitru said. “That is the reason why today I am conservative on fiscal issues.”

Dumitru, a six-year councilman, said he was angry the flier had partial pictures of his bankruptcy records on them.

“It dredges up my medical history and says what hospitals I stayed at,” he said. “She published full account numbers that could lead to identity theft.”

In an e-mail, Cavecche said her mailer was a response to fliers Dumitru’s campaign sent out on the issue of financial responsibility.

“Also, the bankruptcy occurred when he was a candidate for Orange City Council,” Cavecche wrote.

Carolyn Cavecche is running for a third consecutive term as mayor of Orange. Cavecche's campaign released a flier highlighting opponent Jon Dumitru's bankrupty in 1996.
