The
town resident/voters already had elected two freshman council persons in
Dunwell and Pfeferle.
they have been voted down everytime they tried to institute new wise policies, by the oldtimers!

Krackerman,
you should look to the past Alpha Council and their lack of leadership for who
"dropped the ball". Current council is a step up from the past
"morons" you are talking about. Which council person in 2009 or 2010
was handling the insurance when they forgot to include the rider? Was it perhaps
Councilman Harry Zikas? The failure of the past was that they choose to pay the
insurance on behalf of the AYAA. The right thing to do was to pay a money
contribution to the AYAA and let the AYAA send the insurance company a check,
this way the town doesn't appear to be in a position that they are now in. Past
leadership failures brought about this!
Forget
the lawsuit you are insinuating that would give the family loads of money.
All
things consider, a "payment to the family in lieu of what the town residents
should have paid for the insurance rider that was dropped is a reasonable
thing, as long as the current town coucil is released from the responsibitlity
that actually belongs to the AYAA.

the usual tactic that school boards take when they don't like a member and

If
you look at the average cost per call, that the pohatcong police respond to in
Alpha, you get a much higher cost for police coverage than in the surrounding
towns. Alpha can afford services, they have a 2.8 million budget, but the
council has to spend that money responsibly.
The
existing police contract has a clause that mandates a letter be sent to
Pohatcong in order to properly notify them of any intention to change the
contract or not to renew it. Alpha is looking into lowering the cost of police
services and wants Pohatcong to join them at the bargaining table. The letter
is not an insult, just the right business practice according to contract law. I
applaud the council persons who voted for the letter. Those council persons who
voted against the letter should spend some time studying contract law or resign
if they are not up to the job

Carlglas,
the issue is whether the town is obligated to pay or not. If it's true, that
normally the town carried the correct insurance, then this girl's accident
would have been covered, like the other children who got hurt in the past were
covered.
Reading
the Article, one could think that either Councilwoman Tarsi, Mayor Hanics or
another person responsible for maintaining the correct issurance failed in
their job.
Did the mother have a reasonable expectation that her child was covered. If this is the case, then the town should pay.
Did the mother have a reasonable expectation that her child was covered. If this is the case, then the town should pay.
If
you were an Alpha resident you would know that Councilman Dunwell was elected
to council, because the residents of Alpha were tired of the status quo hacks
like Tarsi, Zikas, and Hanics. They have been negligent in their jobs. Dunwell
is mad as H_ll, that things like this have to come to a head because we have
such poor performance by those who sat on there arses doing nothing for the
town and collecting a taxpayer funded check. Look at Zikas who hardly comes to
meetings and when he does, he shows the town he is a do nothing and thanks to
his brother he has this politics as usual stint of grazing from the public
trough! Now he and his brother want to be elected again, shame shame!
If
the residents of Alpha want to same old - same old, then shame on them if they
re-elect the two Zikas brothers and Hanics.

Most
of the comments here have veered off topic. But, Thurman2 you are on topic, but
only partly right. Right to remember Ed Hanics at election time, and Remember
his opponent Craig Dunwell. Councilman Dunwell recongizes the mediocre job Ed
Hanics is doing and will do a much more professional job as mayor, so I will
vote for Craig Dunwell.
About
the issue of whether the town is obligated to pay or not. In this specific
instance, if it is true that normally the town carried the correct insurance
that would have covered this girl's accident, and either Councilwoman Tarsi,
Mayor Hanics or another person responsible for maintaining the correct
issurance failed in their job, then the Mother is correct to ask the town to
pay the cost, since she had a reasonable expectation that her child was
covered. If this is the case, then the town is obligated to pay. But, under no
circumstance do I endorse going to court over this, if she does only the
lawyers will win, the taxpayers will have to foot the bill, so please keep this
out of court.
If
there was never any type of coverage and the Mother signed a waiver, then the
town has no obligation to pay, but if we started a collection of only $2 per
town resident then this would be paid for voluntarily, so why not start a
petition to have the town council pay this with a resolution and we all can
feel good about helping a hurting family.

The
specific plan is called United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development, which
has its basis in Communitarianism.
In
a nutshell, the plan calls for governments to take control of all land use and
not leave any of the decision making in the hands of private property owners.
It is assumed that people are not good stewards of their land and the
government will do a better job if they are in control. Individual rights in
general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the
governing body. Moreover, people should be rounded up off the land and packed
into human settlements, or islands of human habitation, close to employment
centers and transportation.

The
way ordinances are passed is very clear in the law. If the township legislators
didn't follow the law, the ordinance will be tossed. I commend the Marinelli's
and James families. They are willing to put the township elected officials
through the legal process of defending their actions, which is part of being
accountable. If the officials are found out to be in the wrong, then Lopatcong
voters should boot em out of town!
As
I understand, citizens are given the opportunity to review a proposed ordinance
after its first reading and first passing on the vote of the township
committee. When the ordinance comes up for the second reading, then the citizen
is well informed about what they have a chance to comment about during public
comment. It the town amends the ordinance after the first reading then they
tried to pull one over on the voters and are outlaw legislators, IMHO.

I'm
sure an intelligent person, given such an outrageous bill, will demand it
changed to a reasonable amount. Then when these jokers refuse to change it, as
they probable won't, the issue of fair billing will go to Superior Court in
Belvidere and the town will have to pay attorney fee's and court costs when the
Judge rules that it was not a valid amount and change the amount lower. The
town will lose money, so will the homeowner and no one wins but the lawyers.
BUT. that is the way the system is set up, isn't it?
To
the homeowner - look up information on how easy and cheap it can be to file a
small claims case without a lawyer, http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/ , but seek the
advice of a License Attorney if at all possible. You probably will have to pay

Phillipsburg Council meetings on May 07, 2011, 12:43PM
Federation
- you have great comments! The below are my thoughts!
1.
Comparing the two letters. You can see that Mr. Mitzak is going on Brian
Tipton's (his bosses lawyer) game plan of personal attacks!
2. Mr. Cartabona's April 29th letter doesn't claim to present facts only the RIGHT TO QUESTION!
3. Why is Mitzak ranting about: "Does he have a degree as an asphalt expert"? Mr Mitzak does resort to playground juvenile behavior. Does it matter what schools or professional inclination Mr. Cartabona has, Mr. Mitzak just wants to invalidate his freedom of speech, i.e. (if your not an "expert" don't speak about the subject). I can't seem to understand why Tipton, Mitzak and others think it is alright to suppress peoples first amendment rights!
4. What witty false information is Mr Mitzak alleging to in the April 29th letter? Mr. Cartabona didn't mention Brian Tipton's law firm by name. His claim about Tipton losing all credibility, is against Tipton's personal acts not against his associates at Florio, Perrucci, Steinhardt and Fader.
5. Mr Mitzak asks: "Do the good people of Alpha really believe they should follow this propaganda?" The answer to that is : "many good people of Alpha feel the need to hear the answers to the questions that many town residents are asking, and they should go to the May 18th meeting and make up your own mind!"
6. What was relevant, in Mr Cartabona's letter, is the right to question whether Alpha Officials should throw away their own zoning rules just to accommodate Mr. Mitzak's employer and the few employees who would run the plant, and is there any REAL benefit to Alpha as a whole.
7. Lastly, Mr. Mitzak own admission and profession of knowledge, of a Cooper's Hawk and its' close proximity to the site of the proposed Asphalt plant, further emphasizes the point about questioning what impact this plant will have on wildlife!

Like
you said "Federation", Punk-like tactics seem to be what Alpha
residents are seeing from Inter-county paving Associates, their lawyer and
their employee, Mr. Mitzak!

guarding sheep. Either the sheep get "sheared" or the hens' eggs get
eaten! The conflict of interest is huge since NJEA teachers union operatives

Yes,
the residents of Alpha and Shimer Manor in Pohatcong should question the
Asphalt plant proposal in the industrial zone. The fumes from the fire, which
were acute, and the threat that occurred, making it necessary to close windows
and remain indoors, may be indicative of what potential fumes could be in the
air from a hot mix asphalt plant. Alpha Zoning Board hearing is May 18th and
7:30 for those who would like to question this proposal!
We
are glad no one was hurt and Linde is still in operation. Many jobs could have
been lost. Thank you firemen and hazmat people for all your hard work keeping

Funrudy,
an article about a freeholder visiting a school is hardly the right venue to
post your beliefs about Scott Garett. I'm not saying you are wrong, just not
picking the best place for people to take you seriously. You seem to have a
real hardon for this congressman. When are you going to run for congress?

School students a lesson in government on April 14, 2011, 4:34PM
Drinky:
The cost will be by the hours and the closest spots will be taken by those who
can afford to pay $10 or twelve dollars for a long time use. This would create
parking spots for the wealthy only. The majority of the counties residents that
have to do business there, don't want to pay such great costs for parking and
will be prevented to have equal access. What about jurors who already have to
loose a day's pay at work, to go serve. They have no choice and will be some of
those who greatly suffer if the town puts this plan into action.
The
land and roads that developed by the courthouse, were given to the county for
all the people to use equally, This money making idea creates an unjust system
and is a direct unlawful contradiction to the intentions of the giver of the
gift!
Like
most towns, Belvidere's lack of conservative spending policies created the
situation there in. Creating a special tax on users of the roads next to County
Government Buildings or the Park is an Absurd use of taxation and those folks
who founded Belvidere, Centuries ago, would roll in their graves at such a
thought as this, if that was at all possible!
The
only agreeable use of parking meters would be if the time was limited to two
hours (not all day for the wealthy's benefit) and ALL REVENUE was escrowed for
the use of repaving, plowing and basic care of only the roads that the meters
are on. This is like for toll roads. Our form of government lawfully can not
create a revenue stream (taxation) that doesn't directly and uniformly impact
the service given to those who pay. To use any funds extracted from visitors to
the county seat for any other Belvidere "projects" or expenses is
repugnant to the constitution.
Lastly
the only people who really benefit, are the people who are making and selling
these machines. The benefit to Belvidere will be minimal and they will create
more of a cost to that town's budget than those floating this idea think!
People will hate the Belvidere town council if they go through with this, mark
my words!

it sound funny that 100 percent of the town public works employees salaries are
paid from the water sewer dept. but eighty percent of their work is not in
water and sewers.
ask councilwoman Klara Tarsi if this is her way of saying that Alpha residents taxes are "really" low.
Nothing like the old bait and switch.

on Circle System conspirator, former Long Branch High School
athletic director, pleads guilty on November 22, 2010, 10:09PM
The
Govenor has been working very hard to make this state financially sound. It
took many years of mismanagement by the former administrations, both Republican
and Democrats, to get to the shape were in, and it will not be a walk in the
park to solve all our financial problems. People don't like severe austerity
cuts, but it has to be done, when you don't have enough tax revenue.
We
are TAX ENOUGH ALREADY, this spells TEA, this means TEA Party!
The
Governor, has been recognized for his strength over the years fighting public
corruption. In my book that makes him one of my hero's - if not the hero of
many who are fed up with those who get into public office and then betray the
people who put them there. Did you read the article about the High School
Athletic Director convicted of taking bribes and Kickbacks! These people are
why we are broke as a state! That guy was just one who got caught, we wonder
how many others just like him are out there! Those corrupt public employees are
the one hurting the children, just remember that!

you read the total article by Bill Wichert you read that Angelo wants to keep
doing business as usual, like hiring his buddy Lazorisak.
I
don't know if this guy Lazorisak is the right man for the job or not, but this
being an example of cronyism smacks the taxpayer in the face with the fact That
Accetturo is a "business as usual" politician.
I think it is time for a more honest and open government, it doesn't seem that we get that with Accetturo, does it?

Boy,
the newpaper article making you look bad is all that it took. That article
misrepresented you badly and swoosh, Buckled under the pressure!
It
was never a question of whether it is a good idea (it is).
It
is always a question of is this the right property (Perucci's) or is it the
right price (stick it to the taxpayer).
Shame
on you, you too easily swayed. Doesn't it bother you that Perrucci who sits on
the College's foundation board, which funds Projects for the college, now has
the college buy his property(s). This is a bad case of the appearance of
conflict of interest and self dealing that makes voters want to puke!
YOu are going to lose your re-election!

I
like your post. This is what I posted under the opinion article: Freeholder to
College...:drop dead.
No
wonder why we don't trust newspapers any more. I was at the meeting on Feb.
24th for the Board of School Estimates. The "whole" story the express
times claims is rather shallow and trite. The fact that they title this above
as: "Freeholders to College Expansion: Drop Dead" is further proof of
their tendency to mis-characterize the truth. No one on the freeholder board
said anything like that, and the express is trying to sway public opinion
against the two Freeholders who voted no to the budget resolution. Express is
allegedly a democratic controlled organization who has space in this building
and are biased against the Republican Freeholders anyway.
The real truth is that the Board of School Estimates Attorney left the meeting when Freeholder Chairman Gardner called for an adjournment, so they could take care of the Boy Scouts waiting in the hall for the regular freeholder meeting. When the Board of School Estimates meeting re-convened, over an hour later, their Attorney was missing. The Motion for approval of the budget had "stipulations verbally added by the college's representative to the board (he is a lawyer). Like any who practices due diligence, when there are definite legal ramifications to the verbiage offered, you need the Attorney's review before the Freeholders could make a decision. They have to protect the citizens that they represent, not just a privileged few.
Furthermore, you mention Perucci as owner. Well the other owner was at the meeting and the whole discussion puts the county at a disadvantage at negotiating the buying price, unless that has already been agreed to behind closed doors. As far as Perucci goes, are you not in the least concerned about the appearance of undue influence. The man sits on the College foundation, which funnels donations to the College. Then He gets them to buy his building? "I'll scratch your back, you scratch my back even better"!NO conflict of interest, eh?
As for Dr. Austin, saying that the only other acceptable site is Hillcrest mall, which also is allegedly owned by Perrucci, well that speaks volume.
Why
doesn't the Express tell this part of the "whole Story"?
Maybe
Governor Christie, the crime fighter should investigate all this. Hmmm, now
let's see, what's his number! Gota go, time to find the phone book!
