The last time she was to show a presentation on the Transit Village, she had the layout upside down and was pointing to the wrong site points, thats how knowledgeable she is!!! One of the reason shes "GONE NOW". Besides the fact she had to be cued on most of her talks by Buccellato. This town was not run down in the last two years,its been that way for many years under Republican rule, its only changing for the good , now thats why the previous council menbers were 'VOTED OUT".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099245919524883845.post-84498288426680379702008-01-11T13:25:00.000-05:002008-01-11T13:25:00.000-05:00Truth in Matawan, Let us not waste Aberdeener's va...Truth in Matawan, Let us not waste Aberdeener's value blog for nonsense.

What does it say when the most knowledgeable person as to Redevelopment, Debra Buragina, gets voted off the Council. Mendes who is connected to a business right in the Transit Village area gets voted in. She and Buccellato agreed on their vision for the Transit Village. Once again the victim of malicious rumors.

Does Aberdeen have any signed documents with the signatures of the Borough Council members, as is claimed, NO. You forget to mention that the current Council President Michael Cannon was also named in that lawsuit as well as all of the Matawan Borough Council at that time. Was that an oops... Be very very careful Truth in Matawan, you are bordering on malicious gossip. <BR/><BR/>Fred Carr has screwed up all by himself. He has misinformed the residents (we can substantiate with documentation) as well as other mistakes. Although we would have to use OPRA to get copies of Borough Council Meeting Minutes. They still are not available on line. If you consistently screw up on your job, do you anticipate a raise?

Clifton and Buccellato and having a family of his own to think about, would be seeking to forestall that fate?<BR/><BR/>Or perhaps, knowing that the town is currently in litigation preventing the much-needed development at the train station, litigation driven by reckless comments made by Mr. Buccellato about the developer Silver Oaks, Mr. Carr has the wherewithal to make himself scarce before more inevitable lawsuits come the borough's way once Mr. Buccellato is elected. <BR/><BR/>Or perhaps, knowing that Mr. Buccellato engages in Pay-for-Play, most recently in the case where former Matawan Mayor and now Freeholder Rob Clifton along with the rest of the Republican-controlled freeholders voted to award a county roof project to Mr. Buccellato's firm after that firm made numerous donations to the Monmouth County Republicans, this after Mr. Buccellato's firm made the HIGHEST bid of the four companies that responded to the RFP, Mr. Carr realizes that an operation Bid Rig 2 might be in the works and wisely wants to distance himself from any forthcoming shenanigans once Mr. Buccellato is in office?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe he remembers all the hullabaloo over this study, and wonders how it was that Mr. Buccellato, despite a recommendation from the Interlocal Agency planner, Coppola & Coppola, hired by Matawan and Aberdeen to evaluate and make recommendations at the train station and then recommended Silver Oaks, a recommendation which was then accepted and voted on by Aberdeen, but was then completely ignored by Mr. Buccellato when he voted for the Columbia Group/K.Hovnanian plan, the one featuring Republican campaign contributor Jack Morris, and the one that featured more than TWICE as many new residences in Matawan (420 vs. 1000--how would THAT affect our school system, roads, or already-stretched thin police force?). And perhaps Mr. Carr wonders how it is that Mr. Buccellato felt it was perfectly fine to ignore that report but make a stink over this one, and figures it would be tough to work for someone that capricious, temperamental, and dishonest.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps those are a few of the reasons Mr. Carr might consider looking for other employment should Mr. Buccellato win. And he'd be wise to do so.Truth In Matawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075450096978782673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099245919524883845.post-28433316835088203092008-01-07T16:38:00.000-05:002008-01-07T16:38:00.000-05:00Obviously, the current Mayor, Aufseeser tends to m...Obviously, the current Mayor, Aufseeser tends to meet all Carr's demands.

Such low regard for an important study is the real problem. If the council considered Main St. revitalization the priority that it is, members would have been asking for the study a long time ago. <BR/><BR/>If your concern is that an important document was misplaced and overlooked, frankly, I'm amazed that government works as often as it does.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the rumor, which Fred Carr denies, is that he will once again consider working for other localities if Buccellato is elected mayor.

The Study was never issued to the Borough Council. The only two people who claim to have received it was Councilman Bud Mullaney and the Mayor. Reportedly Mayor Aufseeser made the decision that it wasn't important. The other Council Members, who, by the way, represent the residents of Matawan did not get a copy of the Report until Councilman Buccellato asked about it months later. Supposedly, Fred Carr placed the Reports in the Council Members mail boxes and then they mysteriously disappeared. However, Mullaney and Aufseeser claimed their copies weren't amoung the missing.

I was a bit surprised that they only had one copy on file. The Borough Administrator, Fred Carr, then saw my poor job of converting the document to an electronic format and e-mailed me a pdf version. The study was never lost. There was no cover-up. Simply, no one considered it important enough to ask to see it.Aberdeenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593197510549429078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099245919524883845.post-46436968132833832122008-01-04T20:39:00.000-05:002008-01-04T20:39:00.000-05:00We look forward to reading this "lost" study, and ...We look forward to reading this "lost" study, and thanks for the quick summary.
