Dissecting the Upcoming Fire District Elections

"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet." – Saint Augustine

After Aberdeen’s town council rejected the school district’s proposed 1% tax increase to defend the taxpayer, the council enacted an 11.4% tax increase and raised sewer fees. Now their flacks in Fire District #1 appear to be playing the same shenanigans for this Saturday’s elections.

Quick quiz – Who are the candidates for the fire district commissioners? If you’re among the 99% of residents not directly involved in FD #1 on Lloyd Road, chances are you don’t know. Nor would you be able to find out. No sample ballots. No public notices. No listing on the township website. Heck, you probably didn’t even know there was an election this Saturday at the firehouse from 2-9PM.

Well, to end the suspense, the candidates are Michael Ash (independent), and Vincent Vinci’s pals, Jimmy Lauro and Paul Percussi.

I’m saddened to see Jim Vena dragooned by the geezers to serve a two-year term. I’ve known Vena for years. He’s been living in Aberdeen since the days Lloyd Road was a dirt path. As the local plumber, he has a well-deserved reputation for ethics and competence. It’s too bad he’s putting his name at risk of being dragged behind Jimmy Lauro into the rat hole.

How do I know who’s running? Because I got a copy of the marching orders they’ve been handing out at the firehouse. Notice they don’t even tell the men what they’re voting for, just to vote yes.

The proposed budget is a showcase of gimmickry. They’re cutting taxes by 11% while increasing operating expenses by 3%. How, you ask? By raiding the reserves. Normally, the fire district levies taxes to fund reserves and purchase protective equipment. This year, they’re doing the exact opposite, draining reserve funds meant for fire trucks to buy personnel equipment.

Then again, maybe they’re just being proactive – using their reserves before the town council seizes the “excess funds” like happened to the library.

The big driver for higher spending is the 17% increase in fringe benefits, the second largest budget expense following salaries. Whatever fringe benefits covers, at nearly $100,000 and almost a fifth of the tax levy, it’s obviously not “fringe”.

Another 5% of taxes goes to cover the fire commissioners’ salaries. Add another 3% for the part-time district chief and you begin to wonder how much of the tax levy actually goes towards fighting fires.

Given the traditionally low turnout, a hundred votes could change the election outcome. Let’s see if this year is like all other years. I hope not.

What's the status on suspended Police Chief Alston? Still getting paid for doing nothing but suing the Borough?

Anyone?

I will vote for Ash only, and to hell with the budget! I am also going to urge all of my neighbors to do the same. Enough already with Vinci and his good old boys club.

I WOULD THINK OF PUTTING THE NEW GUY IN SINCE PREVIOUS POSTS HAVE PUT THE INCUMBENTS LAURA AND PERCUSI AS HAND PICKED. LETS SEE WHAT HE CAN DO. LET HIM INVESTIGATE THE BUDGET ITEMS ONCE HE GETS IN. APPROVE THE BUDGET AND THEN INVESTIGATE IT BECAUSE IF YOU DONT APPROVE IT, DOES THE EQUIPMENT GET CHOPPED? YOU KNOW FOR SURE THEY WON'T TAKE A PAY CUT!

Anonymous said...

Ah, stuck between a rock and a hard place, Joey. You despise Lauro and Team but just can't bring yourself to publicly support Ash. I know why but I won't reveal here. Doesn't matter you can't vote anyway because YOU DON'T LIVE HERE anymore but you can't resist trying to influence the election.

Aberdeener said...

I no longer support candidates I don't know. The last time I did that was for a town councilman named Vincent Vinci.

Mark in Fl said...

Luckily the real Volunteers fight fires well and help to keep us safe ...

Despite having to be led by the aged dinosaur Lou Aurienema and the paid fools on the Fire District Board. Word has it that Lou is responsible for injuries and fire losses because he has not kept up with fire fighting techniques. Doesn't everyone know that air feeds a fire? Not Lou!

And all the Board cares about is building monuments and serving as supplemental retirement income for the chosen boys like Lauro and Vinci -- both receiving public pensions and incomes for their "volunteer" positions on the Council and Fire District Board.

Enough is enough!

I heard the New York guy was just pissed because he got his ass handed to him by a shriveled up old man.

put preparation h on Lou said...

Lou Auri-enema is priceless. The man has been a pimple on the ass of Aberdeen taxpayers for to many years. An enema that needs to have preparation h put on him so Lou just shrinks up and finally goes away. While you are at it put some ass cream on that assboil Vinny V to. Vote these neanderthals out.

A.T.F.D. member speaks out said...

Lou is proof that man has still not fully evolved from the neanderthals we evolved from. Lou is still like the original caveman in my eyes. Can you imagine what it must be like to live with him? This is not a man that is happy in life and he takes it out on too many others. He lives in the too long past and it shows. Most of the older members and the Lou commissioners in our house seem to take great pride in just letting Lou destroy the house from within itself.

This is what is really wrong with such closed and secretive organizations controlled by such a close knit group that know and keep each others dirty secrets all at the expense of others. Those older members and leaders who have stood by silently and allowed Lou and his arrogance, abuse and know it all dominance of other members are truly the real criminals in this whole unfortunate event. Sad to say Lou just does not know any better and he will not do the honorable thing and leave himself and stop the public rebuke of us. people in the community know of the trouble inside our building.

The commissioners knew better and have failed in their duty and responsibilities to all the members not only just their close friend Lou. They have done a great disservice to all of us younger house members who are not in the Lou click. Playing poker together in the past is not the reason to just keep Lou around just for old times sake. Lou needs to finally be shown the door. It is long overdue for sure that he be replaced and that the house moves forward. The man that Lou was and the honorable service he gave to the house and community all of those years has too long now evolved unfortunately into the Lou authority. Lou is not the authority in my eyes as he is the worst type of house member. Lou is truly the house disruption and now its worst liability.

Wake up commissioners as it is long overdue that you finally need to act in the best interest of all of us house members to ensure our service and reputation in the community is restored. Lou is not the house. We are the future and it is time you face that fact. Your recent insulting handout and pressure tactics are insulting and possibly criminal with the vote approaching. I have to agree it looks desperate.

I have watched and sat silently as you have continued your almost childish undermining of the voting process. Last night was the last straw for me. I have never posted on this site and probably will never post again. I do this now as I have said little these past almost fifteen plus years of service and will probably never post my opinion again. I hope you can understand that I will not sign this post due to your typical divisive conduct pitting members against each other while you ignore the real problem that is Lou. You have watched him evolve and need to act to save the whole house not just the arrogant and abusive member that is the real problem.

I had hoped Lou would have eventually done the honorable thing for the house and leave on his own accord. He has not and you commissioners have failed miserably in your sworn duty to all of us. Don't be proud of yourselves be embarrassed in your now too public failure. Don't blame the members who have given this blog author information either since the assault took place. The author is only doing the honorable thing by exposing your public failures to officially act to the best interest of all the house members and the public. Lou is not the fire department we are. Realize that finally or allow your official inaction to be your legacy.

Two aberdeen council folks run into each other at starbucks. I am standing btw them on line and what are they talking about - none other then our own councilman Cannon. They are all fed up with Cannon. They say that he has to chime in on every issue, "he certainly loves the sound of his own voice" ones says, THEN the other one says don't worry, there is a good chance he is going to be replaced on the ticket. Hey Greg watch your back

Thank you for the laugh

Again thanks for the laugh

Did Greg Cannon wake up to Kauff said...

Councilman Cannon may have finally realized how totally fucking corrupt Kauff and Company really are. As a lawyer even Greg Cannon may have finally realized how much trouble he would be in when the investigation THAT IS REALLY UNDERWAY will definately end a whole lot of legal careers in every lawyer attached to Kauff being disbarred. No legal sheepskin no money. Way to go Greg it only took you two years to realize how corrupt the Kauff/CME/Democrat party thing in Aberdeen really is. Magna Cum Laude my ass. Better late than never Greg.

Four new Kauff candidates said...

Replaced on the ticket?

Replaced on the ticket?

They will have to replace a whole bunch of the Kauff soldiers by the next election. I mean look at them. Vincie looks like he is dying from an overdose of bad hair dye. Gumbs is looking like the age old home registry is coming round the bend. Drapwig is finally ready to retire and close up shop. And Cannon may be the first to turn states evidence and enter into the federal witness protection program.

Actually that program may be really crowded with people turning Kauff into the FEDS. Have you ever seen what prison can do to a person? You can click on the above highlighted *Mark in Fl* and you will see what prison can really do to a person. Once you see the picture of Coren you will easily see the affects of the prison degradation and debauchery and how it will affect you all on your own. Here is a hint. Coren's most used word in prison is OUCH!

Anonymous said...

While I doubt the Starbucks thing ever really happened I think that Mr. Lauro is the one to watch. I myself have called him over the years for things on my street and he always responded professionally and quickly. When my late wife told me she was told that Mr. Lauro was retiring and was running for office I was very disappointed. Politics is the worst thing to attach yourself late in life. It can take so much time away from a person and it is most often never really truly gratifying to ones self. I hope he really considers his position. A man like Mr. Lauro should not be involved in the seedy world of politics. I wish him well and thank him for the past service to the community. I hope to see him soon and thank him and express my concerns. I cannot really believe he is the same man people post about on here.

Coren's got a pretty little mouth said...

I clicked on the Mark in Fl sight. All I can say is he's got a pretty little mouth. Soooweeeeeee. I can't wait until Coren comes back to Kauffville and heads up the latest incarnation of the corrupt Kauff campaign 2011 version. I'll go with some of the usual suspects being replaced especially if Cannon is the next Minutulo. Did I say that Coren has a pretty little mouth?

Let's all not forget that hidden somewhere in the Fire District Budget is money covering the Legal Expenses for Lou Auriemma's Lawyer to help him fight the charges brought against him in court because the Commissioners did nothing when he assaulted a firefighter.

Anonymous said...

To all those who have complained in the past that the posters on this website that claim to be members of the Fire Company and they do not identify themselves, be advised that it is not without some consequences from the leadership. They are well advised to remain anonymous. Also do not take lightly the strong arm tactics employed by this corrupt group.

It appears that the firefighter who was assaulted and that brought this whole corrupt group to the attention of the public has been expelled from the Fire Company at their last meeting. They cannot allow anyone with integrity and honor to remain among their ranks. So that is the punishment handed down for having the balls to take on the corrupt Fire District Leadership, if you can call it that.

The handout being given to all the current members that is shown in the link contained in the opening article shows that they are worried, and will stop at nothing to attempt to influence the outcome of the upcoming election.

I urge everyone who believes in justice and integrity to call upon their friends and neighbors to not only read this post, but to also turn out and vote this Saturday, defeat the incumbents, and usher in someone who is not a puppet of the corrupt Establishment.

It is clear that the Fire District Leadership does NOT want anyone to vote for Michael Ash, and they want the budget to pass.

I sincerely wish that all of you reading this do what is necessary to disappoint them.

They kicked him out? Good! He's a rat.

What a mess Lou caused said...

You can bet that the Vinny area will come out and vote, the italian american club will come out and vote having been told numerous lies by the usual suspects who are really the root cause of our house problems, connected and beholding family members will vote, those knowing that not one spec of honor amongst these thieves exists will vote and of course the bodies that that we all call the the Vinny walking dead will vote.

These votes are really just another waste of money and are really closed to the public. Lou keeps it just like he wants it and needs it. That is of course with a bogus election machine with a purposefully uninformed public that has no idea who is running to lead the house, where the money goes and that one bitter old man is ruining what was a once proud organization f brave volunteers.

Now the house is just a joke. The one member expelled by the corrupt leaders should wear his expulsion like a badge of honor. Please if you read this post I ask you to vote these low lifes out this Saturday from 2 to 9.

Ha, ha, ha. "Jane, you ignorant slut" to quote an old SNL line. Not only are the incumbents going to get re-elected, I bet Fat Lou gets an award for the years of "dedicated" service to the community - endorsed by the town council. Enjoy the show.

Who will be counting the votes? Are we sure all the votes will count?

We support Mr. Ash, does anyone have a suggestion for write ins?

crooked is what crooked gets said...

Now all of a sudden the same Commissioners who fought fires with Michael Ash won't recognize him as one of their own understanding that he is an exempt member with 10+ years with the ATHC. Why is this, I will tell you, he does not fit in with the old man's crooked regime. This Saturday will be an interesting one.

I remember when a certain member of the fire department wanted to run for commissioner upon learning Aneil Devino wanted to retire. Lou would not have it, he talked Aneil out of retiring and the syndicate came out to vote, including a certain commissioner now retired that picked up an absentee ballot for his daughter and submitted it. Well as planned, she also went to vote in person and was caught.

In the long run Aneil won the election and just as planned retired as instructed by Lou so Lou could place his hand picked puppy in. Donald Flarity passed away, Lou hand picked his successor, Tom Falco passed away, Lou hand picked his successor, Ray Scavo retired, Lou hand picked his sucessor, Lou made Tom Wilson retire, Lou hand picked his successor. If Mike Ash wins, Lou will have Steve Castellano or Paul Percussi retire so Lou can hand pick their successor.

Don't forget Anthonty Malinconico also retired, Lou hand picked his successor.

I'm not sure I understand, if this Lou person is under the employ of the District, does that not make him a subordinate to the Commissioners? How is it allowed for this individual to have control over his bosses and I can see why this would infuriate the public and the volunteers. Has the Mayor been addressed of this and does he have any input as to all of this mud slinging?

Anonymous said...

Anon 3:33, you have no clue, Aberdeen is the only district in the State that has a "District Chief". Not only that, this Lou character retired about 15+yrs ago only to take a part time position where he comes in two days a week to play solitate on the computer. The Fire Company Chief drives around in what is now probably a 10yr old car yet the part time District Chief gets a new car to commute back and forth to Keport where he lives. The District Chief carries no certifications or liscences for anything related to operating a Fire District, however in his defense, he job description puts him only as a liason between the Fire Company and the Fire District.

In a nut shell, Aberdeen's tax dollars pay this man to come to work two days a week and play solitate.

The days of overpaid employees, rich pensions, free health benefits, and retiring after 25years are coming to an end and we are all going to witness it. It is sad that many rank and file employees will pay dearly, but the process needs to start with all the politically connected. Those with multiple government jobs have manipulated the system and have brought it to it's knees. The latest example of the wall township chief of police retiring on February 1st and then starting as the director of the Monmouth county police academy on march 1st just shows you how arrogant some have become. Take your $115,000 annual pension and free healthcare and go away. Unfortunately, that would be too simple. Instead he decides to take another government job paying him $68,000. I suppose it is possible that he is the only qualified candidate. Here comes the best part - at the council meeting announcing his retirement, the wall mayor gave him an engraved watch and some lovely words about his dedication to the community for 25 years. Nice gift. However, let us see the real gift. Assuming this guy work 26 years at an average wage of $100,000, he has collected $2,600,000 in pay. Assuming he is only 50 years old at retirement, he will undoubtedly live another 35 years and collect $4,025,000, plus fee healthcare, plus $68,000 for his new government job and whatever else this guy can put his hands on.oh, did I forget to mention the chief also walked away with a check for $80,000 for his unsaid time off.ladies and gentlemen, the times are changing. Wake the hell up and vote!

You don't know Joe said...

What one or two you don't get is that Joe doesn't care what people think of him. He never has and he never will care about that. You anonymous types that try and insult him are really wasting your time. I've known him since we were 12 years old it takes a lot to shake him. Joe would give you the shirt off his back or save your life and think nothing of either gesture. As a matter of fact he saved Jeff Byrds life when we were in cub scouts many years ago and Joe forgot about it until Jeff came up to him in a bar and thanked him.

Joe is no saint by far and has lived a life most would find truly amazing. But all the anonymous attackers know that all ready since they think they know everything, while they really don't know much.

So all of you so brave anonymous know it all types don't know Joe McAleer, not one bit. Nice try though since I can tell you one thing for certain. Joe cares little for what people think as long as he does right by people. He is a big guy with an even bigger heart. If Joe is your friend you have a really true friend.

The childish jabs and taunts only energize a guy who always does right by people. As for old ladies being tough, that was pretty funny and I can only figure that the author knows of getting his ass kicked by a senior citizen from personal experience.

N SECTION JOE is full of - you now what - and bought and paid for by Norm and the Dems

N SECTION JOE came before the council and announced that he would no longer be coming to council meeting and holding them to fire as he did at almost every meeting in a very heated and loud tone. He announced he was selling his house in the beach and moving out of town.

Well he did stop coming to the council meetings and he did sell his house in the Beach.

BUT he also took a $63,000 a year job from Norm working for the township of Aberdeen, he drives around town in a 4x4, and he bought a house in Strathmore.

N SECTION JOE is nothing but another Norman puppet.

NSectionJoe said...

I hate to tell you but you are wrong again. I'll try and explain it so that you understand once and for all.

1. I am not bought and paid for by anyone
2. I never came before any council and said that
3. Never announced selling my house or moving out
4. I did buy a house in Strathmore for my family
5. I accepted the third offer to be the Code Officer
6. Norman Kauff never spoke to me about the job
7. I drive the vehicle I am assigned to for my job
8. I took a pay cut to accept position not $63,000.00
9. I am certainly no mans puppet

I certainly hope this ends this one persons obvious dementia. I do strongly suggest you seek a thorough professional psychiatric evaluation in a licensed medical facility. I wish you well with the treatment you obviously require.

I again offer my time to explain what I do working for Aberdeen and will answer any question on any subject related to my job. I have offered this before and repeat the offer again.

People I respect advise me to not respond to such posts or accusations. I respond so as to not hide myself from those who are ashamed, embarrassed or afraid to express themselves with outright lies, accusations and made up twisted statements.

For some reason you seek to fixate on me. That is your problem alone. I take great pride in my working for Aberdeen as I took pride in working as a private citizen and seeking to improve my community. If you are one of the people I have met these past eight years while employed in town hall and while you fixate on me it is your problem alone.

You obviously have no idea what it is that myself and other employees do for the taxpayers of Aberdeen. This is obvious from your outlandish and untrue accusations and outright lies with not one spec of truth. This is further proven by your failure to take me up on my offer to discuss your problem with me.

If this does not satisfy your twisted obsession with me I apologize sincerely apologize for being your fixation. I mean I never had a stalker before and am unsure how to react or respond. If this is not clear enough for you to understand you are on your own.

Thank you for your time in this regard.

Nsec joe. I have spoken with you personally when you accused me in public of things that were just not true. When we spoke you were so busy speaking and listening to yourself that you never hear a word I said. Never even asked a question but continued to rant about some unrelated topic. Then you again spoke out against me in public. You have a very big ego to assume that only you have all correct information. When you can close your mouth long enough to hear when others are trying to speak to you, even if its a subject you do want to hear about, then I will respect you. Until then, everyone should be aware that Joe isn't a good listener so he might not have all the facts correct.

Long live the Aberdeener said...

If the poster above was telling the truth he or she would not hide their identity. I ask why should their words be believed? When did Joseph ever say his opinion was the only one? To stand by ones words, opinions, position in life and family is truly honorable, unlike the anonymous author of the post above. People like this poster truly only embarrass themselves, this as they are not man or woman enough to stand unashamedly uncloaked to the world. To the poster I say thy words are lies to all until they stand before all of us unashamed of their much doubted words that only seek to embarrass. The only one to be embarrassed is the fearful anonymous poster above.

What a play on words. So Kauff and the council instructed Coren to give you the job to keep your mouth shut. What is the difference. The point is you got the job to not speak negatively against them, and it worked. As you say you changed your focus to the school board, of which you have not been critical since your "friends" have been in charge. If you put your name to something for whatever reason, ego or not, then credibility becomes an issue knowing the history.

As for Kauff there are a whole bunch of people far above him who know what is going on and will be free to testify as to what they know. Blaming one man who does his job is craziness. Try blaming the big salary Kauff puppets who get paid to do nothing. If you think that job is easy think again. The carpet surface is worn from management calling him on the carpet for doing that kind of job. Your comments are nonsense.

Joe gets paid to do a job and that's fine. But name one thing his big opinionated mouth has done to make things better in this town. He always has opinions on how to do things better or criticize, but never ran for office or gave his time to the board of education. He should remain anonymous and stop looking for accolades for doing nothing constructive.

I know him from the neighborhood so I know him.

Joe was:

Asked to run for office 3X and told them no he always said better voice outside than one vote inside.

Sought to improve his community in many ways and he put his name to everything he does.

Submitted his own study showing necessary police manpower levels and called for the chief of police to resign for not supporting his men who had no pay raises for over two years. Council disregarded the study. Paid !5k for one that came out the same.

Having an opinion and standing behind it counts.

Proved people were not doing their jobs in town.

Turned down the job that came with conditions 2X.

Has said he was threatened and denied his rights.

When did he ever look for accolades for himself?

Took a job to improve his community.

And anonymous @ 4:43 did what?

Election Chapter XV verse VII said...

On the day of the big election, joey sat on his throne, in the kingdom of Brooklyn, and looked down at the city of Barza.

Joey asked his father, God, for help in overthrowing the house of Louis, on the river Lloyd.

"Father", said Joey, " Forgive the unwashed masses in Barza, for they know not how to vote." Joey knew that the unwashed masses of Barza would not come out in masses and vote for the apostle, Ash.

"Savior" said the apostles, Todd, and Pelanco " for what shall we do if the house of Louis still stands tomorrow?"

Joey looked at his two worried apostles, and said " Fear not, for Louis is only mortal, and has been walking this earth for many years, he is not immortal, as I am, our time will come, and the Kauffkins will be defeated."

This is the word of the Warren


Thanks be to Joey

Mrs. G. in the C said...

That residents whose towns are listed in the police notes section can look and see what is going on and how active or inactive a police force is not could either be troubling or proper. I for one would like to know if cars were being broken into in my area or where a troubled area might be by seeing the frequent responses to an area over a period of time. I am a little troubled by the lack of information that can be necessarily kept close to the vest while likewise being used as an enforcement tool by an informed public watching out. The other thing as a taxpayer I would like to see is the activity reports for our force. I don't need to see the officers name but I would like to see the proof of the pudding of what we pay them for matching up to police activity and other job results in print. Our force as I recall costs a very large sum and I would like to see for what my taxes get me in protection, response and an active patrol. When I lived in LA the side of the police cars said to protect and serve. Show me as a taxpayer how that breaks down in dollars and cents for our force. Where does the money go for all the tickets they write. What are the fine totals per year. What does each officer produce annually. As for not having our town listed in the newspaper when many other towns do it for their community is very troubling the more I ponder it. This should be a priority that a community is informed. Let us see what our leadership does with my post. I am sure they look at this site quite often. Don't hide from my questions try responding.

Hey G in C or whatever the hell your name is. You may not see the stuff in the paper but you definately get a phone call from the reverse 911 system when there is something you should know. Aberdeen spent alot of money on that system. Aberdeen hasn't said anything on here about the department but Matawan residents have said that it cost the taxpayer about $2.20 a day, $820.00 a year per household, and they bring in more revenue in the courts then what it costs to run the police department's daily operations per year. There has also been information here and app.com that they have not given information to the paper for years because the prior administration's did not want the public to know the truth of what has been going on in the town.

Kingmaker Vinci said...

District 1: Complete results were unavailable; however, the budget and two other ballot questions passed.

District 2: Running unopposed, James T. Connelly received 32 votes and James Marsh got 30 votes. The $649,552 budget, which relies on $506,000 from taxpayers, passed 35-2. Voters also approved a ballot question 34-3 to spend no more than $175,000 on a new generator.

Rumor has it that over 350 people turned out in District 1, while only 37 turned out in District 2. How is it that the budget and question results are in for District 1, but not the winners of the $6,000 per year jobs? Could it be that the machines are still being tampered with?

Anonymous said...

There was no reverse 911 call system call to my house warning me that houses are being broken into in town. If such things were put in the paper like many other towns do every week would we have been more alert to a break in possibility. My husband thinks there is some trickery going on if police incidents are not printed weekly. He blames the police and town officials are hiding the fact that our house and it seems many others are being broken into with no one being arrested. How many total houses have been broken into we do not know for sure. The word in the area is that over twenty five so far. Twenty five if true is a disappointing number. If that number is true with no arrests that may tell residents its time to be more careful and take extra measures. Our house will have a new alarm system this week and that still won't take the feeling of being violated away. Our home was broken into and we lost more than our jewelry that day.

How much do our police cost taxpayers? We don't know the answer ourselves. What we know for sure is that all of our jewelry was stolen and we feel violated. We do think that a newspaper update or whatever they want to call it would help residents be warned as well as allow us to see what our police are really doing. If you think we are mad you are right.

We hope that our house was the last to be broken into. Tell your neighbors to be careful and watch out for different people in your area. I'm going to call the chief of police and see if they are close to an arrest.

Back in the 80's or 90's Colts Neck PD did the same thing - Nothing reported in the Police Blotter in the paper. "Nothing bad happened in Colts Neck." The papers went after them because it soon became obvious that stuff was in fact going on and the police were just not reporting it to the public. That and other issues led to a big shake-up in their PD.
Any PR issues with the town are handled by its PR flack (and Norman Kauff's next door neighbor) Bill Parness, and I bet a memo went out to the PD to keep a lid on any crime in Aberdeen. Don't just post here, show up at council meetings and write letters to the papers on this.

Would that generator be delivered by town workers?

Would that have been illegal, unethical and typical?

Would that have been reportable by town leaders?

Would town leaders investigate that properly?

Would town leaders be complicit if they did'nt?

Would our town leaders have looked the other way?

Would town leaders be criminally liable for that?

Would our town leaders have turned Coren in?

I don't believe the Coren thing about a generator being bought by CM&E.I don't beleive that Coren would need a generator made in France. I don't believe that a town employee would have been asked to deliver a generator to a boat owned by Coren. I don't believe our town leadership would have known that Coren would have accepted such a gift from an honest company like CM&E. I don't believe it would be illegal, unethical and typical. I don't believe the town leadership would not have investigated such a thing. I don't think the town leadership would be complicit or would have failed to report and investigate. I don't think our town leaders would have not turned Coren in. I don't think would have just suspended doing business with CM&E. I think I would have thought that our leadership would have done their duty to protect the taxpayers of Aberdeen except for one all too telling reason. The fact that the scumbag Norman Kauff owns all these town leaders and he would not have allowed any of them to say or do anything against Coren illegally accepting an unethical gift paid for by a town contractor, allowed him to use a town worker to deliver such an illegal gift to his private boat. That is of course unless Norman Kauff did not run Aberdeen and everyone in its corrupt, unethical and immoral leadership with an equally unethical, illegal and immoral relationship with CM&E .

FD reserves ?? said...

As expected the arrogant and improperly lead fire house leadership once again corruptly won the latest bogus election. Now all we have to do is wait for the court case of the attacker Lou Auriemma to play out. Will the commissioners finally explain and justly be held accountable for why they failed to protect members from verbal and physical harm from the bully of the Lloyd Road fire house for too many years.

Now to the big questions in these very tough economic times for our corruptly controlled town council is

WHAT ABOUT THE FIREHOUSE MONEY IN RESERVES?

WILL THE FD MONIES LIKE THE LIBRARY BE TAKEN?

On the APP site this morning it says that the firemen and their families which once again comprised 99% of this joke of an election held once again with minimum advisories and disclosure of candidates to the public I think purposefully.

So once again on Saturday the fire house members voters voted even themselves money ($350,000.00) for a new fire truck. At the last FD open house that I took my sons to see the many vehicles that they have looked to be very sufficient for a town our size and most looked well maintained, that our members should be complimented for of course. I am afraid however that the vehicles and egos want to be the firehouse commissioners keeping up with the Joneses type of contest to be the biggest and the best as to equipment and to keep stroking Lou's arrogant ego. The other vote for $40,000.00 for equipment better not be for the much talked about Lou statue said to be around the same $40,000.00 number.

With the predominant only firehouse members and their families once again doing the voting this weekend I am left with one question. What is the firehouse doing with the $750,000.00++monies they have in the (not properly publicly disclosed) fire house budget?

I also await a response from the mayor, council and FD commissioners who look at this site daily. Respond will you and explain about the monies we need for tax relief or to keep critical services in town, this while the library is in their crosshairs. Will the FD reserves be taken like other surplus monies that are be needed for our budgets.

I think the council will sell themselves for votes and leave the FD surplus alone. Prove me wrong and be fiscally responsible. Prove me wrong.

District 1: James V. Lauro was the top vote-getter with 221 votes followed by E. Paul Percussi with 189 votes. The two, who will each serve a three-year term on the Board of Fire Commissioners, defeated Michael Ash, who received 126 votes. Write-in candidate Gary Bellone received 13 votes. James F. Vena, who was running unopposed for the two-year unexpired term on the board, received 215 votes. Write-in candidate Bellone received eight votes in this race. The budget passed 241 to 64. Both ballot questions also passed. The first, raising $40,000 for protective gear, passed 256-40. The second, raising $305,000 for a new fire truck, passed 238-56.

District 2: Running unopposed, James T. Connelly received 32 votes, and James Marsh got 30 votes. The $649,552 budget, which relies on $506,000 from taxpayers, passed 35-2. Voters also approved a ballot question 34-3 to spend no more than $175,000 on a new generator.

Please understand that District #1 usually only gets about 30 votes also and that just the way Lou likes it, however when someone challenges one of his puppets he pulls out the stops and tampers with the system. He and that dousch bag Vinci are laughing now but not for long, I can assure you of that. Unfortunately its time for the big guns to come out and put an end to this corrupt mentality the district has survived on for as long as Lou has been involved. It is a shame that certain individuals will have to bear some of the backlash, however they have been warned in the past.

Paul, if you didn't do it at 10PM on Saturday, you are free to resign your position now and Lou can put that half wit Don in your place.

Vinnie, stock up on the hair color my friend, they like um dark in the big house, Coren gave you enough practice, you will fit in well.

Anonymous said...

I am simply disturbed by this recent election. Normally the District has 30+/- voters come out yet this past election had close to 300? How can this be? Secondly, how is it that Vincent Vinci and James Lauro are both Town Council members and Fire Commissioners and collecting a stipened for both? What happens if the budget did not pass, would they have to excuse themselves as Council Members until the issue is resolved or is this simply a strict conflict of interest. So both of them are not only collecting pensions from the Township but two additional stipeneds worth $14,000.00? How is this ethical in any sense of the word? Has anyone contacted the state about this or the press?

Tom's brown nose said...

Anon 3:56, unfortunately Jimmy Lauro got mixed up in something he never wanted. He was great at his job and well compensated, he saved the town its fare share. Jimmy never wanted to be a Council member but was pressured by that asshole Vinci to get on board and I am sure Jimmy regrets it but would never tell Vinny because Jimmy is a softee and does not like to rock the boat. He did not run for Commissioner, he was hand picked by the old man to fill a spot just like everyone else on the board to which all were hand picked by the old man. They all know what they are doing is wrong for the town and the Fire Company but they don't care, its not about that, its all about them and they do not want that disturbed.

The old man goes to court I believe next month to answer to the assault charge. Your tax dollars are paying for his laywer and from what I hear, the lawyer is not cheap. Of nine people who witnessed the assault, eight verified the assault as the result of an internal investigation, the other is a cronny who dosen't know any better but to take the old man's side. Poor Paul and Steve, two ingnorant guys pressured into positions they never wanted but who wouldn't take $6K to sit on your ass for 12 meetings a year. They had ample opportunity to bail when they saw what they were getting themselve into so shame on them for staying. Jimmy Vena, another hand picked cronny grew up with Lou so he knew what he was getting into so he deserves what he gets also.

These postingings are printed on a daily basis by now Secretary and former Commissioner Tom Wilson. He is the then Commissioner who voted the unfilled Secretary position a considerable raise knowing he was going to take the position. How he is able to keep the civil service position I will never know but I guess what some people don't know never hurts the person getting away with it, right Tom?

All these individuals will have to answer to a higher power and it is up to them to redeem themselves and they individuals they are hurting so sleep well ladies, you are all expendable and should start feeding off each other sooner than later.

"unfortunately Jimmy Lauro got mixed up in something he never wanted" - Give us a break with this BS. This guy was paid $140k a year to manage the Public Works department. If he really didn't want any part of this, as you say, he should not have agreed to run. And if he really didn't want any part of it and agreed to run, he's a spineless creep! Bottom line - He held a position with the town and was overpaid BIGTIME! He now has a council seat where he draws another check. A check from the fire district also arrives in his mailbox too. Let's not forget the $100k pension and FREE healthcare!

They shook every tomato vine in the area telling lies that us non italians were spreading rumors that everyone thinks an italian mafia is running the firehouse. Let us see how many non italians are on the commissioners rosters. The answer is none. How many have been lifelong friends with the man who built the firehouse into what it is and now is the only one responsible for tearing it apart. This too they will deny as the arrogant and abusive one should have been removed from office a long time ago. So the big turnout vote don't really mean anything. The letter sent to the authorities will be the death nell for Lou and the italo-commissioners. I'm not mis-labeling them in that manner and don't go to the italian-american club and rally the troops like you did for the election turnout. I can imagine the Vinci walking dead turned out big. Too bad they had no idea what they were voting for or how screwed up the firehouse really is. I mean come on you gave out election instructions blank of any information about the tax levy for all the unnecessary to keep the Lou ego in new shiny trucks. There is a big change coming in this town, state and nation. Better get on board. We taxpayers don't mind paying but the fire families and the Vinci walking dead all cost the rest of the taxpayers too much. Don't give me that bull that the public could have voted. That is just bull and the commissioners know it. That is why the school and fire elections need to come to November. Then the Lou and commissioners of corruption will know the party is over.

The negative side lost--too bad so sad!!!
It shows that when you tell the TRUTH and do the RIGHT you gain GOOD friends who stick by you when you need them.
I'd like to thank all the voters who took their time to come out and support our fire company (Aberdeen Twp. Hose and Chemical Co. #1) OH!! If most of the positive voters are firemen and their families, I guess the are HAPPY with the status quo!!!!

When is the court hearing for the assault charge for Lou?

Didn't anyone tell Palanco that being a Fire Company Officer is a position in name only?

When Lou is present he oversees everything. No one is expected to take care of anything other than him.

When fighting a fire how dare a fire burn him. He is undestructable.

How many times are the Fire Company Officers bang their heads against a brick wall. There is no one who will stand up to Lou.

The Fire Commissioners are responsible for Lou's attactions; including the budget. When the - - - - hits the fan, Lou will say he is a mere employee and not responsible for anything. After they all go to jail and or get some other type of punishment, Lou will hand pick 5 more commissioners. I don't see why the Fire Commissioners stay on with the threat of going to jail and their names being black balled. Is the title and small pay worth it???

In his day, Lou was a suburb fireman. Why didn't he leave on top the first time he retired?

Now he is in poor health, blind in one eye and nearly 80 years old. The only reason he stays on is POWER!

Where is the spell check on this site?
