Bully Pulpit

At an open town meeting on December 16, 2014, the town council told Mr. Rizkalla
  1. The township’s million dollar water project did not cause flooding in his house
  2.  Had two experts visit his house who “cannot tell us anything the Township did is causing water in your basement”
  3. Will not release the reports of those “two experts”
  4. Offered Mr. Rizkalla $19,000 to go away
  5. That he’s welcome to get a lawyer and sue
Does that sound like the town is being honest?

Here’s another piece to consider.

The township is blocking disclosure of the engineer reports based upon the reports are protected “work product” prepared in anticipation of legal action. Fair enough. The reports probably are “work product.” However, in our country, the government works for us. Governmental institutions don’t enjoy the same rights to privacy as individuals. Freedom of Information Laws and the Open Public Records Act codify the public’s right to government records with certain exceptions.

Work product is a limited exception. As the town attorney surely knows, on July 21, 2014, in Martin E. O’Boyle v. Borough of Longport, the Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the public’s “common law right of access”. The court further held as follows:
The attorney-client privilege shields the disclosure of documents otherwise accessible under OPRA . . . In order to determine whether the common law right of access applies to a particular set of records, a court must first determine whether the documents in question are public records. Second, the party seeking disclosure must show that he has an interest in the public record. If the record is privileged, the requestor must articulate a particularized need. Finally, once an interest is established, the burden shifts to the public entity to establish that its need for non-disclosure outweighs the plaintiff s need for disclosure. [Emphasis added]
The engineer’s reports are plainly public documents. Mr. Rizkalla has a “particularized need” in knowing if the township turned his home into a fish tank before he spends $100,000 to remediate the basement. Mr. Cannon, an attorney and town council member speaking on behalf of the town council, stated emphatically that the engineering reports do not show the township has any liability.

If so, how can the public’s need for non-disclosure outweigh Mr. Rizkalla’s need to know?

And that’s the crux of the matter. Mr. Rizkalla has the law on his side but the township has taxpayer money. The council can spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on legal fees and stretch the court battle over years. Mr. Rizkalla cannot.

Mr. Rizkalla is not a rich man. Mr. Rizkalla’s home is flooded and likely has mold issues.

So the town council, acting on behalf of the public’s welfare, offers Mr. Rizkalla some money and tells him to take it or sue.

Welcome to the bully pulpit.

So there's a difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day — and a look at social media suggests some people don't know it.

CNN tweeted out a challenge for people not to "embarrass" themselves by confusing the two. It was retweeted thousands of times.

So what is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?

While Americans celebrate this Memorial Day, not all understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Memorial day is a federal holiday in the United States designated to remember the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors anyone who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It's a day to show appreciation to those who have served in the military and are still living.

Veterans Day is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11.

Memorial Day is observed every year on the last Monday of May.

Veterans Day commemorates all servicemen and women of American wars,

and


Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as

Decoration Day and commemorates all men and women, who have died in military service

for the United States.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day

and
it is traditionally seen as the start of the summer season.




Veterans Stats

The brave men and women who serve and protect the U.S. come from all walks of life; they are parents, children and grandparents. They are friends, neighbors and coworkers, and an important part of their communities. Here are some facts about the current veteran population of the United States.
Did You Know?

There are approximately 23.2 million military veterans in the United States.

9.2 million veterans are over the age of 65.
1.9 million veterans are under the age of 35.
1.8 million veterans are women.
7.8 million veterans served during the Vietnam War era (1964-1975), which represents 33% of all living veterans.
5.2 million veterans served during the Gulf War (representing service from Aug. 2, 1990, to present).
2.6 million veterans served during World War II (1941-1945).
2.8 million veterans served during the Korean War (1950-1953).
6 million veterans served in peacetime.
As of 2008, 2.9 million veterans received compensation for service-connected disabilities.
5 states have more than 1 million veterans in among their population: California (2.1 million), Florida (1.7 million), Texas (1.7 million), New York (1 million) and Pennsylvania (1 million).
The VA health care system had 54 hospitals in 1930, since then it has expanded to include 171 medical centers; more than 350 outpatient, community, and outreach clinics; 126 nursing home care units; and 35 live-in care facilities for injured or disabled vets.

A lot of money for what said...

The town patch site says he Aberdeen police answered 366 calls recently in six days. 294 of the calls were for car stopping and tickets given from those cars being stopped. So really if you take away the cars being stopped and drivers getting tickets the rest of the 144 hours of our 4.5m dollar a year cops who worked only means they did something 72 times in 144 hours. That's two calls every hour or there about except for the drivers stopping and tickets. getting Maybe they need to list the amount of gas used idling watching videos.

PROPOSALS MADE TO THE KEYPORT CITIZENS GROUP COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING BY THE MONMOUTH COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

Of course as we well know in Aberdeen the only decisions made are what benefits our politicians and their corrupt cronies.

Who are we paying way too much in town hall to not keep the town clean. I am serious and this is a reasonable request from a long time resident who has never complained since moving here in 1986. Someone needs to see an optometrist and drive around town with corrective glasses on and soon. My folks lived here until they passed on and they'd be shocked. Especially at the beach front area they loved to visit way back then.

Hillary Clinton's a joke said...

Hilary Clinton today blames the republicans because they want people to have to show identification when they vote or register to vote. But no that can't be because republicans are profiling minorities they say. No wonder Obama won't do anything about the illegal immigration problem that is killing America. Illegal immigrants will decide elections in the future so of course the democrats want them here to suckle off of us hard working middle class taxpayers. What happened to our America I ask you? The answer is ultra liberal democrats whose scheming knows no bounds along with their win at all costs and let the truth be damned ideology is killing America.

Why does Aberdeen want to raise tax rate?

Courtesy Aberdeen Township
Aberdeen Township Council at its reorganization meeting last year. A budget proposal introduced last week would raise municipal tax rates by 3.6 percent in the township.
ABERDEEN – Municipal taxes would rise by 3.6 percent under the proposed budget introduced at last week's meeting of the Aberdeen Township Council.

The $18.3 million spending proposal requires $430,340 more than last year from property owners in the township.
That necessitates a tax rate jump to $.517 per $100 of assessed value, up from $.499 in 2014, according to figures provided by township administrator Holly Reycraft. The average home in the township is valued at $270,000, meaning that a typical homeowner will pay $48.60 more in property tax than last year.

ASBURY PARK PRESS
Tax Watch

Reycraft said there is no change in public services or employment levels under the proposed budget, which will have a public hearing on June 4 at town hall.
Rising property taxes remains the norm in New Jersey, with other Shore communities reporting increases between 1 and 5 percent.
Other findings from Aberdeen's tentative budget:
•The single biggest line item — police department salaries — was up 2.2 percent to $4.3 million.
•The new budget would create a surplus of $700,000, well above the $175,000 the township was able to save last year for emergencies.

ASBURY PARK PRESS
Affordable housing apartments come to Aberdeen

•$2 million is being spent to pay down debt, or $459,000 more than last year.
•The town is budgeting for the arrival of $274,247 from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority for environmental cleanup of the former South River Metals site.
•A fee increase is raising the revenue projections for parking at the train station from $290,000 last year to $370.000 in 2015.

Because nobody in this town gives a rats ass. And as in all previous years nobody will attend the scheduled public hearing on the double the allowed tax increase authorized by law(3.7 vs 2% permitted)

Is there any hope we will be rescued from these do nothing democrats you people ask. Come on firstly they're democrats so spending money uselessly is in their blood. Hiding depletion of town surpluses is a given. Raising taxes to fund wasteful projects to give the politically connected big money to in turn get paltry campaign donations in return is the democrats bread and butter. Raising fees for other towns services to funnel money into the budget in a round robin game of hide and hope no one seeks is a yearly event. Patron hiring from reports on here that is said is out of control and much more we can be sure the democrats don't want divulged. All we can wait for is the big shoe to drop with some big funded project for the engineers of CME to get another big payday for their typical very little work the democrats have CME be their Santa yet again to fund the democratic party campaign of lies to continue to maintain their corrupt, hurtful, and no real results to benefit us taxpayers and businesses in town.

If a McDonalds workers demanding $15 an hour is Hillary Clinton's priority as she said yesterday during her presidential campaign then her campaign is in fact centered towards the truly uninformed voter. Between Obama and the D's legalizing illegal immigration then there are only three words left to say. That is that 'we are screwed'. So keep electing democrats like the ones that have screwed up our town and even worse our nation.

He says that in our town the cars should have procrastination and self service. Don't get me wrong i've known him for a long time so these were not prying questions that bothered him in the least.

Aberdeen is advertising for bidders to install cameras in town somewhere. I say somewhere because we of the Aberdeen who justly distrust anything the D's do know with 100% certainty that such cameras will not be where they need to be. So where will they be?

Will they be

In the courtroom where so much illegal, immoral and underhanded things occur during council meetings?

In the town managers office where all of the same as listed above is planned, approved or concocted to screw us taxpayers over and where they have the manager in a box only letting her out to front the indecision the council allows?

In the criminal headquarters of CME engineering where the costliest democratic evil is executed like the MAFIA does.

In the Zoning office where everybody gets screwed just because.

In the council meeting room where nothing is as it should be or is recorded properly.

In whatever room where the business group meets secret and out of the public eye and again not properly recorded probably.

In the office of whoever never calls people back.

In the defective bureau yes I said defective unit where nothing gets solved.

Forget the upper echelon of the police office they're never there or doing anything.

In the Code office where tickets get issued devoid of the truth in order to fund the D';s.

In the finance office where money gets washed to the D's like a loanshark operation.

In the tax office where we really get screwed over.

In the recreation offices where us parents run everything anyway.

And last one I can think of right now in the break room where they spend most of the day probably drinking coffee we taxpayers pay for rather than working.

I'll have a front row seat said...

Miss Manager is just marking time and working hard at covering her ass and her screw-ups while expecting to get out unscathed. Try again Miss Manager because you and the other do nothings are all going to soon be served and spending lots of time and personal monies in court defending yourselves. I saw the list of officials and employees to be called and it doesn't leave anyone off the list going back a long way as to town officials and employees.

I know no one will dare to do that because nobody would dare take on the D's. Try again Miss Manager because there are boxes of information and legal proofs being readied. The D's thought they would never have anyone do anything against them and man are they very wrong. Myself I can't wait cause I will be able to get a front row seat by the time it hits the court room in Freehold cause i'll be very retired by then.

I hear they just missed a big lawsuit against the town recently for a wrongful termination or something like that. This time this person would never cut a deal and I understand the filing is planned just before the election gets started. Like the mob criminals say 'it's nothing personal it's just business'. Well this person takes his business very seriously and he's had enough and I can't blame him one bit. They've screwed him countless times and now he's the one who is going to be doing the screwing. The son to be defendants will be really pissed off especially when they hear who is lawyer is.

True blue said...

Managerial indecision you say? Preposterous that is because this woman that is the present manager makes a lot of decisions and all of them are bad and some have big costs associated with them. You might ask why doesn't the council remove her like the ones since the pervert left all have been short timers compared to her. They can't remove her because she's a certain councilmans pet on a leash. She approved his boy for promotion so she does what she's told no matter the consequences. The consequences are very expensive and not just monetarily. Sure we got our contract but she supports not one of us who put in the time under leadership that is laughable and far from even mediocre. They run to her with everything and she gets no respect from those of us who work hard when she takes their word like gospel. There's no respect on our side for the council, manager and without a doubt our brass that are clowns in a do as little as possible circus called Aberdeen.

Their best is a joke to say the least. We can all also all be sure that from the mayor on down none of them have no idea what the words *public trust* even mean. They serve the almighty and nothing but pure evil CME and that is our unfortunate truth. Please excuse me for running on and on as I am home sick with a cold and when I get started on these low life democrats I get so angry. Please join me on election day and vote for anybody that's not an incumbent democrat as they have done nothing positive in 20 years unless you count the tens of millions wasted on CME and their other assorted cronies of taxpayer waste of time chasing the nightmarish dreams that the democrats call proposed development. You know proposed development like the old factory by the parkway and the old site by town hall and don't forget the train station area we who commute by train have waited to see bettered. Waiting is all the democrats know how to do. WE wait unfortunately for the next tax increase for the same lackluster leadership and services. If I wouldn't lose so much selling my place. I would move and put this town in my rear view mirror with a big one finger salute as I went past town hall for sure.

Saute in some crushed garlic from the singular nationality fire commissioners that's another democratic party front for votes

Sprinkle some salt and pepper like the fairy dust of the handpicked business council yet another political democrat arm for $$$

Then mix well with an indecisive self serving manager who does't care about the town she manages who only wants to retire

And finally mix in a similarly uncaring single political party political leadership and you know what you get?

Let the word go out from this time and place that the democrats don't give a shit about us in the hood or the beach. Want to know why? Seems that once again 80% of the communities day in September will be taking place *wait for it* in Strathmore once again.

Anyone surprised that we will get the same old fifteen people attended fishing contest *of course it looks like more people attended the event unless you really look at the hundred or so pictures that the family hire will take to give her phoney baloney job something to do once a year* so she takes pictures of whichever council creaton shows up only for the pic. The council person tag-liar-weenie makes show up allso needs to come in a squad car with police protection for they fear us in the beach.

Anyway this year we will also get a movie night *and you know how that usually joes with these meatheads* no secondary inside location is set up to see the film. So we will probably get the red phone call again this year canceling the movie on account of rain leaving me to explain to
My disappointed sons that the movie got rained out due to lazy incompetents. Oh yeah and one more thing the bus shuttle only goes to the train station again so another *we don't want to endanger the bus company to the beach area and those other people in Cliffhood. Yeah I said Cliffhood do what that's what the dems really think anyway so F them all.

I know what I'll do I'll take the wife and kids and maybe even the cat camping instead of being ignored again this year like always. To whoever goes though just forget that they're doing this day for us cause i's all for them to put on a show. As for the dems show me and mine will be no shows. Big F you to all the dems.

I told him they'll never see me in that building ever again to be asking this town for anything. I'm dying in my house so they can kiss my dead rotting ass before I get a permit here ever again.

****NEWS FLASH****

****NEWS FLASH****

Headline this morning on app.com has the following

*Community center part of project in Aberdeen*

So you'd think the title would be the truth but this is Corrupterdeen where nothing is ever as it seems.

Right Freddy boy?


So let's take a quick look at the article written again by Russ Zimmer. Zimmer who never delves too far into our local democrats on such stories or fluff pieces. Stories is all they are of our Democrats or as I love to call them Corruptocrats because they are truly corrupt in every sense of the word.

It lists the typical get a couple of votes from seniors by saying that the *Project* low income housing development will have a community center for *all seniors in Aberdeen. These of course are the same exact *seniors* the democrats have lied to for over 20 years now about such senior housing coming to our area to benefit them. You know like the transit area improvements, the marina park project over by the parkway, park property purchases that still no one knows where or who can use them and finally the old factory in Cliffwood that stands like a giant eyesore on our community while collapsing unto itself.

It lists RPM Development of Montclair as the driving force so we can conclude that they are *politically connected*.
We can also conclude they got big money from the state and feds to do this *project*.

The hilarious part of the article lists a time-line that Zimmer glosses over starting in 1994 with a fire, 1996 a *first phase* environmental study of the site under the Democrats cleaning up some toxic chemicals left behind by the South River Metals Company from their use of the site from 1908-1985. in 2002 the town designates the site to be used for senior *age restricted* housing soliciting proposals in 2002. In 2006 the property now in the hands of the Democrats is demolished ?2002? so 4 years passes and nothing and we know that is how the Democrats work by promising and never delivering over and over again. In 2009 the township gets yet another grant to study the property *the second or thirds study* once again the taxpayers nemesis of CME gets a big payday to once again study the area and nothing happens until 5 years later when the third in line developer *after other politically connected developers with a wife at least of Mayor Palmer in Trenton is on board fizzles due to we can only assume serious contamination that has stalled and will probably stall this *BIG HEADLINE FOR VOTES FROM SENIORS* Democratic proposal once again that will probably go nowhere.

oNe more little tid-bit is that RPM Development got Hurricane Sandy money and Zimmer writes that *The project funded in part by a federal superstorm Sandy disaster fund includes two twin, four story apartments that will cost a combined $44 million dollars. $44 million dollars for 145 senior apartment units and a community center when people are being ripped off by insurance companies and people are still homeless from the storm 2 and a half years after the storm? Building housing for people displaced by the storm are not in need of senior housing most often.

So if we know anything about headlines like this look for something to tart in a few years on this project just in time for another election season when the democrats need votes from seniors that they lie to like they change their clothes. Pulling in I have to go.

Right Freddy boy?

to Aberdeen Mayor,town council and manager

Why does the township have a public information person on staff who gets paid $35,000 plus benefits and information like the 2 listed below keeps being sent out by a private public relations firm to the Matawan-Aberdeen Patch

What are the duties of the staff member?

here is what the town website says but we sure do not believe it:

Public Information Office

The Public Information Office facilitates an accurate and consistent flow of information regarding government issues, programs and services to the community of Aberdeen Township. The Public Information Office serves as a liaison to media on behalf of the Aberdeen Township.

From the Patch:

Aberdeen Township to Host Golf Benefit to Support H.A.M. Recreational Program
Aberdeen Township, in cooperation with Hazlet, Matawan and Holmdel, will host a Golf Benefit Outing to support the H.A.M. Recreation Program

Affordable Senior Housing Project Set for Aberdeen
Township officials have announced that RPM Development Group will soon break ground for a three-building affordable housing development.

Why are we paying double for information?

Another dedicated volunteer firefighting brother has passed away this week. I just hope the mayor and council don't ignore this mans many years of dedicated service like the council ignored Brother Auriemma. I certainly hope Councilman Cannon dresses a little more appropriately the next time. We were offended at the memorial service wen he showed up looking like he just came from the beach.

Nice to see that our town manager and the elected officials that rushed the approvals through on this property for a political crony or cronies payoff down the road still have blinders on when it comes to contaminated properties in our community. That property, the sewer mess on 516 and the big factory across town that will be a nightmare to clean up. I'm sure that property will get all its approvals especially if it is a campaign year.

Missed media opportunity once again said...

Great article on app.com today for my family and grands about all of the holiday fireworks to be seen this coming holiday week all along the Jersey Shore. Communities have obviously provided information on locations and times for this great article. Towns listed from Asbury Park to Union Beach and all the way to West Long Branch were listed for families to have choices.

So I have to ask this question because we have for reasons that boggle my mind in a town this size that we need to have a paid media person who should have as part of her position provided our towns information. Wouldn't you think as part of her position it would have her in contact with community news contacts for such a publication? I fear unfortunately this missed opportunity for our community to showcase itself is more proof that this family hire does very little and it's just fine with the towns management. Again I see this as a missed opportunity to share the fireworks we will see again this week with other communities residents. I apologize for the length of this posting as these do little if anything family hires exemplified and discussed on here are a costly blight on us who pay too much in taxes for what we get. This lapse by the press person in title only it seems needs to be addressed if even only by this household engineer known to my kids as Mommy.

No corruption in town hall my ass. Rumors abound late last week that new job opportunities are developing for town employees spouses and others in town.

Amazing the conversations one can overhear at a ceremonial wake. I must say the representation by the fire service and police force were something to see. Then again like Vinci and Drapkin none of them could keep their mouths shut so even at a wake for a long time employee our politicians old and new can't keep their mouths or egos in check. So typical of those who can't or won't realize when their fifteen minutes of fame is over and they are just a sad part of the dysfunctional Democratic Party history of this town.

I read often on here that the democrat leadership has done very little or nothing at all. Not if you overheard the conversation I was an uninterested party to and at of all places a funeral wake as it seems that some of the party leadership are putting themselves way out there for the highest bidder.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS? ANYTHING BUT THESE CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS IS WORTH A CHANCE. GOD KNOWS THESE CROOKS HAVE IN FACT DONE NOTHING BUT FEATHERED THEIR OWN NEST AND THE SAME OF THEIR POLITICAL CRONIES.

File tort claims against these crooks is what every taxpayer should do in Corrupterdeen for incompetence in office and fiscal mismanagement.

Some politician is suggesting that Christie should resign from the Governorship if he runs for President of The United States. Typical democrat bullshit that will get them nowhere. Maybe if a republican gets in this time that idiot lowlife Corzine would be arrested, indicted, convicted and imprisoned for what he did that was highly illegal. Then again what he did as Governor was highly illegal. Wait just like Obama and what he does is highly illegal. Never mind it's the Democratic way. Right Freddy boy?

Another Mayor Ass-wipe is improperly using the Core-Red system once again. Yes he knows no shame and will take every opportunity to get himself out there. I'm glad the weather is good so we don't have to hear the rain canceling messages from the asshole like last year. After all he's a democrat right Freddy boy?

That big dark window vehicle is a cops car probably. Most coppers have black window cars and trucks because they are different from us. They break the law by having the darkened windows and they are hipocrits for giving us regular people tickets for having dark windows on our cars.

I hear the code employee injured a leg so can't someone drive him around. I mean come on it's more than grass that should be looked at.

All is right in Corrupterdeen said...

Local teenagers were arrested for setting fire to the footbridge that is behind the towns high school. Would that be the same footbridge that was closed off years ago for being vandalized by teenagers? At least we know CME the taxpayers nemesis and the personification of all that is politically evil in our town will of course get paid big money once again. Nice to see that somebody is getting work since I am working extra each week at my job to keep up with the taxes that just keep going up and up and up.

On our way to a long weekend in Ocean City in the morning and the best thing is when we head out of Aberdeen. The worst thing is when we come home and are back in Aberdeen with its messed up management and do nothing politicians. Hapy holidays to those we leave behind even if it's only for a few days.

This weekend we taxpayers get an extra day the corruptocrats can't touch our tax money and line the pockets if their corruptcronies. Right Freddy boy?

All this crap going on? Where the hell are the Republicans? They should be at every Council meeting. Who is running?

"Show voters the Money" said...

They're republicans so what do you expect when they don't want to win? Actually what's worst most of all is when they don't want to listen to how to win and that's even worse. It'd be so easy if they would just follow the main slogan of the Jerry McGuire movie the Republicans would win hands down. To paraphrase the movie slogan of Show Me the Money just "Show the taxpaying voters where their money really goes".

If the Republicans would show the taxpaying voters some of the listed below they would win hands down

Total tax payer monies to the towns engineers over the past 10 years on proposed projects
Political connection to apartment quick rush approval orchestrated solely by Tag-liar-weenie
Affordable housing approval process and highly questionable town involvement and review
The inside political and possible illegal connection to towns attorneys and if council members are related to town attorney
Towns surplus numbers drastically depleted to hide fiscal mismanagement for years
The hiring of a financial advisor on the QT to address and hide fiscal mismanagement
Why no employee ever gets let go for improper actions or on duty violations
The continual patronage hiring of family members for do nothing jobs
The improper family hirings that are possibly counter to town ordinances
Insider deals with big pay raises to the connected or well liked also being hidden from the public
Improper firings and deals to cover up big mistakes
Lack of anything close to workforce analysis for potential savings
Lack of anything close to police force statistics review for staffing requirements and officer output or cases solved
Lack of public or proper disclosure of any and all public meetings and the going on much less meeting schedules to attend
Lack of truly independent public representation on all approving boards and committees shaping this towns futures
Business group of better said Mayors buddies business group that is just a PAC
Review of questionable first Aid building deal in Cliffwood cause that stinks from the head all the way to the managers desk
Paying a family hire for media while also paying politically connected local media consulting group

Got to go party boat time so let the holiday weekend begin and before I forget the democrats can kiss my ass.

Just caught a quick announcement about public works employees in jersey being arrested.

I hope it is this towns public works that finally got looked into.

It also mentioned stuff about construction debris being accepted improperly.

Can't wait to see the entire report on the news and just hope it's our town.

Smile really big I will say to the town council if they get on television and proclaim that they have no idea what is going on.

That would be the truth of course because our council has no idea what a mess our public works really is in lately.

Can anyone really measure the mismanagement and political coverup in town.
