Bogus Action Filed By Pay-For-Play Architect, Having Green Light From Axis-Of-Greed, Has Bad Vibes For Integrity Of Political Process

Yezzi Threatened Suit At October DMUA Meeting As Stooge Commissioners Covered Up April Yezzi's Failure To Disclose $157,000 OCUA Architect Payments

River City: The frivolous lawsuit filed by pay-for-play architect Massimo Yezzi against the OceanCountyPolitics WebSite, Dover Municipal Utilities Authority Commissioner Robert K. Haelig Jr., one of OCP's commentators and shareholders, and OCP Editor-In-Chief Richard Schiff may be part of a wide conspiracy of greed involving the county's most prolific political patronage recipients.

Harry Jay Levin Esq, Who Got $30,000 Contract From
Brush And GOP Council, Filed Yezzi Lawsuit

The Yezzi lawsuit, was filed December 22nd by lawyer Harry Jay Levin, a Democrat who was part of Mayor Paul Brush's "Independent" campaign for Mayor.

Brush has since reverted to type and has again become a Democrat who has colluded with the GOP Council on crony appointments, enactment of the largest spending increase in township history and a big tax increase.

Levin was one of about 40 Republican and Democrat lawyers who received legal "services" contracts from Brush and the Republican Council as the new government set records for political patronage appointments  in Dover during 2004.

Levin Supported World-Class
Political Payoff At OCC

Levin is also a member of the Ocean County College Board of Trustees where he recently supported one of the largest political payoffs ever made to a community college instructor-politician, a pension scam story which will reportedly be aired by the Ocean County Observer in the near future.

The Yezzi Lawsuit, First Threatened At October DMUA Meeting Where His Wife Is A Commissioner, Was The Subject Of A front Page Ocean County Observer Article On January 5th.
Please click here for the Observer Article.

Yezzi first threatened his lawsuit during the public session at the October meeting of the DMUA, where stooge commissioners appointed by GOP Boss Richard Clement acted to gag Commissioner Haelig from releasing and discussing open public records data which show payments of more than $157,000 by the Ocean County Utilities Authority to architect Yezzi at the same time his wife, April Yezzi was being appointed as a DMUA commissioner last year.

The Yezzi's never disclosed the OCUA payments to Massimo Yezzi so April became a commissioner in a classic conflict-of-interest situation with broad implications for the integrity of the process.

The video of the Massimo Yezzi threats at the DMUA public session will be available on OCP at a later date as this series continues.

Democrat Brush Rewarded April Yezzi, President
Of GOP Women, By Naming Her DMUA Alternate
Commissioner As The Aroma Of Collusion Thickened

April Yezzi is the president of the Ocean County Women's Federation, but was appointed to the DMUA by Mayor Brush as his appointment shortly after the new Dover Township government took office in January 2004.

Yezzi Payment Cover-Up Led By
Deborah Clement And Juan Bellu

Cover-up of the Yezzi payments was led by Clement's wife, Commissioner Deborah Clement and Commission Vice Chairman Juan Carlos Bellu, the former Planning Board Chairman and development interest accountant who helped kill the township's open space plan in 2003.

Let's Go To The Video Tape On Motion To Gag Haelig

Bellu, Mrs. Clement and Commissioners Anthony Benyola and Joseph Bilotta voted to gag Haelig in the first such gag motion in fifty years of history at the local authority, ruling that Haelig couldn't mention the Yezzi OCUA payments despite the DMUA's annual obligation of more than $10.5 million to the OCUA.

$157,000 Yezzi Cover-Up Is
Latest Chapter In OCUA Rip-Off

The Yezzi payment cover-up is the latest chapter in one of the most costly cover-ups in Ocean County history as the OCUA, now aided by the Yezzi conflict, is permitted to continue its rip-off of Dover ratepayers - with a little help from its friends on the Dover MUA.

Told Haelig To Take Yezzi Conflict To DCA

Mrs. Clement and Bellu even tried to shunt the April Yezzi appointment conflict off to the New Jersey Department Of Community Affairs, the agency that has covered up every conflict situation ever referred to it, from former Democrat Boss Jack Moriarty to OCUA Commissioner Frank Sadeghi.

Give Us All A Break: OCUA Conflicts
Make Watergate Scandal Look Cheap

The OCUA patronage cover-up makes the Watergate Cover-Up look like a chapter from Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by comparison, because there is a lot more more taxpayers money involved.

The OCUA has wasted more than $500 million in 20 years under the great leadership of Lacey GOP Boss John Parker, another of Yezzi's benefactors, and the late Jack Meyer, who mismanaged the OCUA patronage-swollen budget and huge debt in a miasmic geyser of political nourishment for their cronies and political bosses.

$500 Million Was WASTED
By Axis Of Greed At OCUA

Just so there is no misunderstanding, the $500 million was WASTED, over and above what any competent management should have spent meeting the regional sewer agency's obligations.

But the OCUA, which columnist Paul Mulshine more than twenty years ago called a "haven" for greedy lawyers and other parasitic "professionals," is a card-carrying part of the Axis Of Greed, and every taxpayer and sewer customer in Ocean County has paid a huge price for its profligacy.

Dover Ratepayers Pay More Than $10.5 Million
Annually To The OCUA, But Bellu And Mrs. Clement
Say Yezzi OCUA Payments Are "None Of Our Business"

The Dover authority pays more than $10.5 million a year to line the pockets of OCUA patronage and payoff recipients, and ratepayers in Toms River paid all the bills as the DMUA stooges who constructed the October Yezzi OCUA payment cover-up produced a DMUA budget deficit for 2005 of more than $5.3 million.

OCUA Sewer Rate May Be The Highest On The Planet

The OCUA county sewer rate is very nearly the highest on the planet at $3350 per million gallons (Atlantic County rate is $1800 by comparison). The extra $500 million, much of it contributed unwittingly by the county's senior population, has been traumatically extracted from the Ocean County economy during the past 20 years.
