River City: Superior Court Judge Marlene Lynch Ford set a Case Management Conference for Tuesday, April 12th after telling the lawyer for pay-to-play architect Massimo Yezzi that his demand for unlimited deposition privileges was denied.

Levin and Yezzi, who accused OceanCountyPolitics of "lying" about them, and of publishing material "in reckless disregard for the truth," did not identify a single alleged "lie" or give any examples of the alleged "recklessness" in the complaint they filed.

Yezzi-Levin Lawsuit May Be Part Of Cover-Up

The failure to be specific has led many observers to conclude that the lawsuit is another cover-up of Yezzi and Levin's activities at public agencies where they have been the recipients of no-bid crony contracts involving big gobs of taxpayers money.

Yezzi was one of the public officials who attended the December 3rd smear and intimidation meeting at the Allen Street offices of Republican County Chairman George Gilmore to set up a campaign to silence critics of the pay-to-play system and their part in it.

Levin Wanted To Hand Brush $75,000 Salary
After $30,000 Pay-To-Play Gig From Township

Levin, a Democrat and supporter of Dover Mayor Paul Brush, wrote a letter saying Brush ought to get a salary of $75,000. This was after Brush and the Republican  Council handed Levin a $30,000 pay-to-play political payoff contract compliments of the taxpayers.

It was revealed recently by former Central Regional School Board member Richard Elliott that Yezzi and two other pay-for-play vendors received more than $2.7 million in no-bid professional "fees" for work on the Berkeley Elementary School construction program.

Yezzi Got More Than $1.95 Million From Berkeley Schools; April Yezzi Got $70,000 Job At Central Regional

Of the $2.7 million, Yezzi got more than $1.95 million, according to Berkeley school system payment records.

Another Yezzi payoff surfaced two weeks ago, when Yezzi's wife, April, was handed a $70,000 "position" as Assistant Business Administrator in the Central Regional school system, a superfluous appointment which validates Yezzi profit raids on the treasuries of both Berkeley school systems.

Voted By Berkeley GOP Political Hacks

The April Yezzi job was arranged by Berkeley Republican Municipal Chairman Carmen Amato, President of the Central Regional Board, and board member Richard Ciullo, VP of the Berkeley GOP GreedClub and publisher of offensive and objectionable material on a cyber CreepSite he operates, who said Mrs. Yezzi was "qualified" for the useless Assistant Business Administrator's job.

Levin Threatened Haelig And Schiff

Levin threatened Haelig and Schiff and OCP with sanctions: "You and your co-defendant may think you are going to control the judicial process," Levin postured in a letter attempting to intimidate Haelig.

But in the end, the court had the last word, and Levin will have to wait until after the April 12th conference to see where the suit goes next.

This article prepared for March 6, 2005. Stay tuned on Monday, March 7th for more of the Judge's rulings on the Yezzi SmearSuit from the hearing in Toms River on Friday.
