John Curran's observation more than 200 years ago, that "eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" has never been more true. The
citizens of Berkeley will probably want to be somewhat more vigilant
during the next couple of years than they have been during the last
few years. The next opportunity to even the score with the greed
conspiracy will be the Ward Elections in November in both
Berkeley and Dover Township. Bombardier's commentary follows:
Amato's $85,000 Job A Reward For Feeding
Greedy GOP Lawyers With Taxpayers Money?
The Republican Party and its constituent local stooges here in
Berkeley have apparently hit a new low in ripping off the taxpayers.
|
Carmen Amato |
It’s bad enough that Carmen Amato, council candidate in Ward II, was
handed a useless county job that costs taxpayers $85,000 a year as a
reward for using taxpayers money to feed greedy Republican lawyers as
president of Central Regional school board and chairman of the local
Republican Party.
Voted For Every Spending, Tax Increase In Berkeley Schools;
Sponsored $2 Million Yezzi No-Bid Contract Payments
|
Karen Davis |
It’s bad enough that Karen Davis, the Republican council candidate in
Ward I, and Anthony DiPaola, Republican Club President, were
responsible, as members of the Berkeley School Board for eight years,
for every spending increase including the biggest waste of public
funds in the history of Berkeley Township, the gift of nearly $2
million in “professional” fees on ridiculous no-bid sweetheart
contracts to architect Massimo Yezzi, a Dover Republican county
committeeman.
April Yezzi Made Central Regional Republican Headquarters
|
April Yezzi Couldn't Wait
To Start Holding Political Meetings On School Property |
It’s bad enough that Republican Vice-President Richard Ciullo, the
Republican website operator, made the motion to hand April Yezzi,
Massimo’s wife (president of the County Women’s Republican Federation)
a useless $70,000 assistant business administrator job in the Central
Regional school system where Ciullo is a school board member.
Is Berkeley The Only Town In The County To Allow
Blatantly Political Meetings In The Schools?
But now, these clowns have also literally turned Berkeley schools into
Republican campaign headquarters as Mrs. Yezzi, fresh from her useless
job appointment, is now holding Republican Women’s Federation
meetings, including a March “GALA party,” in Central Regional
facilities.
Likewise Chairman Amato, who will apparently give taxpayers money to
any Republican crony who holds his hand out, is holding Republican
county committee meetings in school buildings that have in the past
been traditionally non-political.
Taxpayers Should "Understand How Thoroughly The
Schools Have Been Taken Over By The Republican Bosses"
Likewise, DiPaola and Ciullo, who never saw a crony payoff they didn’t
like, are holding Republican Club meetings on school property each
month, so the taxpayers can understand how thoroughly the schools in
our community have been taken over by the Republican party bosses.
The taxpayers will continue
to pay through the nose for all of this. Frankly, it stinks!
