Does Brush's Demand For A Full Time Salary Mean He Will Spend Full
Time Screwing The Taxpayers??
Toms
River:
Brush Demands
Full Time Salary To Spend Full Time Betraying Taxpayers After
Promising To "Cut Millions Of Dollars"
And now Brush, who promised to cut spending in Dover
Township "by millions of dollars," has announced he wants a "full
time" Mayor's salary that will enable him to give up a major part of
his vast, personal non-existent professional accounting empire in order to spend full time
at town hall ripping off the taxpayers.
The
skeevey little deal with Mutter and Aldrich and Holzapfel where
Holzapfel got appointed every year as the $6667 a month "labor
attorney" who didn't have to do any work to get the monthly paycheck.
Mutter
was on Holzapfel's legislative staff,
so he couldn't vote for Holzapfel's appointment, and Aldrich had a
share in some property owned by the principals in the Citta-Holzapfel
law firm, so he couldn't vote for Holzapfel's appointment; but this
was ok because there were enough additional rubber stamps (Wittmann,
Geoghegan and Fox) to get Holzapfel reappointed every year.
Until
2001 after two Democrats (Russo and Furey) had pierced the huge
Republican registration advantage, making the Mutter and Aldrich
conflicts a threat to Holzapfel's reappointment.
But, no
problem: Big Jim just fired Mutter from his legislative staff on the
strength of a dangling Judgeship Future, and had the Citta's buy out
Aldrich's stake in the Colorado real estate for $1 plus other good and
lawful considerations.
Then
Township Attorney Ed Corrigan was "persuaded" to rule that Mutter and
Aldrich didn't have a conflict any more, perhaps the most preposterous
ruling (among many preposterous rulings) that Corrigan ever made in
his seventeen years as township attorney.
Does
this lead editorial mean the Press is going to put additional focus on
Dover Township? There is nothing like a little public scrutiny and
accountability to make public officials pay at least a minimal amount
of attention to the public interest.
Full Time Salary
Demand Is "Double-Scary"
This is a
prospect the taxpayers of Dover Township will no doubt find
double-scary, because every time Brush walks into town hall to hire
another lawyer or "confidential" assistant (with the full
and complete consent of the all-Republican Council), the impending tax
increase gets marginally bigger.
Counterproductive
And Damaging
Dollar for
dollar, the proposed full time salary demand could be the most counterproductive and damaging
expenditure of public funds in Dover Township history.
The
Republican Council, mainly composed of reasonably honest and
forthright people, has sold out to the Axis Of Greed, and the basest
and most disreputable political payoffs .
This
has been done in some cases for money, in others for position and
political promissory notes, and still others for their fifteen minutes
of fame.

expenditure of public funds in Dover Township history.
In a
recent OceanCountyPolitics
poll, readers said pretty convincingly that the Mayor's salary should
be $25,000 a year; so we take the position that the Mayor's salary
should be $25,000 a year.
Haelig Notes Mrs. Clement And Former Commissioners
Suppressed Public Documents And Falsified Public Record
|
DMUA Chairman Robert K. Haelig
Jr. |
Chairman Haelig said the removal of
the microphone would be the near-equivalent "of suppressing another
public record," noting that "the suppression of public documents and
the falsification of public records" occurred previously at the DMUA
at the hands of Mrs. Clement and former DMUA commissioners.
Mrs. Clement Appears To Confirm She Helped Falsify Public DMUA Records
"To Save Mr. Haelig From Mr. Haelig" (See Video)
Mrs. Clement appeared to acknowledge
her complicity in the "falsification of public records," but said this
was done to "save Mr. Haelig from Mr. Haelig" in connection with the
alleged "slander."
Mrs. Clement did not explain her
"slander" comments - or how they related to the question of the
removal of the OCP
microphone.
Instead Of Leaving OCP Mike On Table, DMUA Ratepayers Will Pay
For Individual Microphones For Everybody In The Room
In a typical bureaucratic response to
what originally appeared to be a very simple problem (the Clements'
punitive attitude towards the public's right to know), the commissioners
overruled Haelig's objections and adopted a motion offered by former
Planning Board Chairman and recently appointed DMUA commissioner Juan
Bellu to remove the OCP
microphone after obtaining a new public address system and buying
individual microphones for everybody at the table.
New Public Address Equipment Purchase Could Be April 28th
Purchase of the new public address
system and six bushels of live microphones will be considered at the
regular monthly DMUA meeting on April 28th. This
article prepared
for April 4, 2004.
Coming soon: Stay tuned for all of the gory details
on falsification of official records by Mrs. Clement and former DMUA
commissioners, undertaken on orders from the Clement GOP Club to
validate the club's schedule for the 2002 Haines-Aldrich job switch
which undermined the confidence of rank-and-file Republicans and the
public in the
integrity of the DMUA and the Clements and the local
Republican Club.
