Hypocrite. She arrogantly demands sky-high standards from other board members, yet votes over 95% with the board majority anyway. You'd never know it with her endless grandstanding and petulant "gotcha" tactics. She then safely votes against the whole board for symbolic reasons knowing full well it wont make a difference in the outcome. Her latest escapade of trashing a board member's child was disgusting. Hoisted by her own petard, indeed.

Nothing to see here folks, Hoboken Questioner insists it's been cleared-up. Wait, where have I heard this before?

Here, FAP:

http://grafixavenger.blogspot.com/2011/12/castellano-clearasil-at-city-council.html

Much ado about nothing - so says the doosh who spent a week crucifying a young woman for an uncompensated 4 hour audit at her Alma mater.

If HQ thinks this should be ignored then something isn't quite right with this story. Claire maybe you should check with your sources, once again. You might want to ask if they received eligibility letters before Jan 1.

Wow..look at you ding dongs jumping all over me for 1 measly comment. Nice to know I have a following. Maybe I'll ask Horsey if I could write a column on his blog site. I'd call it THE TRUTH. But I wouldn't hold my breath on him approving that he prefers lies and distortions. My point this matter at hand is that there are way more things to worry about. I am assuming M Sullivan does not have a criminal record. If I am wrong then o.k. we have a story.

OH, I see, according to your ideal; following state and educational laws are not important for those who are elected to govern a school district.

The law mandated that every school board member complete and have a letter of eligibility by Dec 31. Board members had 7 months to comply with state law. If they didn't, that is on them. The law is the law.

Hey wait HQ. Let me clear something up. Your probably think this story is Much To Do About Nothing (sic) because you think it's about someone not getting their quiet little payroll check in the background. No-no-no, silly rabbit, it's not about a getting a check in the background, it's about getting a background check.

You know what Plywood I have a better idea...why don't we grab a whole bunch of attorney and sue the hell out of the whole BOE. That would be great right? Is that the correct approach? Generate some more legal fees?

OR how about the board members follow the law and file on time like the other 4700.

I'm sorry, that last one wasn't as funny as your ironic little gag about you writing a column called THE TRUTH. Classic.

HQ, they shouldn't need any attorneys. I'm sure if the Old Guarder on the BoE is not in compliance they will step down gracefully. Like your pal Mr Cammarano did. Okay, okay, I'll stop, you're right, your right, it's not funny.

Did you pull down your comment about GA? Probably for the best since that one fell flat. Try the one again about how the Council Minority "intentionally" saved the taxpayer $5 million by trying to torpedo the hospital deal by voting against a bond. That's a knee slapper. I'll bet there was no taxpayer money at all and Mr Christie paid that $5 million personally to make the Old Guard look good. Hey wait... where's the minority council member on the new hospital board?? See - the Old Guard hospital sale gags just keeps on giving..

So p1ywood, by Old Guard on the BOE I suppose it's safe to assume that you're talking about the Kids First affiliated BnR poster child Sobolov. You know her, she's the one with all of the relatives who are feeding from the public teet. Is that who you mean?

You are mistaken yet again outofcontrol, no worries. I am not referring to Ms Sobolov, and I have no problem with those who work diligently in the public sector. I was refering to those who support excess and cronyism, like for example Ms Sullivan, who has been dodging the media due to questions concerning her lack of filling her job requirements.

Did Sullivan complete her background check by Dec.31, 2011 as required by the law?

Its too bad Blogsites don't require a lie detector test then you'd just be crap out of luck Redriderinfotainme

Red, don't be so sure you're just one person. I hear HQ ran your post through his 'word analysis' program.

Bwaa-haw-haw!

GA

Wait, why am I talking to myself? Never mind. That pea brained PussFace or whoever he is posting under today projects his own behavior on everyone. His insecurity about not having obtained a decent educaiton seems to really provoke him. He needs word analysis software to enable him to decipher hidden meanings and identities in posts that dont exist. I wonder if Bet reimbursed him for the cost of the software as a business expense, deductible on his K-1. Wonder what his software will say about this post, you adorable little unibrowed purple pillow plumping high school graduate easel toting troll and most favorite minion not paid for friendship.

OutofControl- I agree with your line of reasoning on this. From what has been reported however I don't think those 3 questions will be answered in the affirmative. The truth should come out tonight. Bring the popcorn. I will have video camera waiting in case she throws a hissy fit.

It is a shame that Maureen has to act the way she does. Sometimes I aggree with her efforts to cut expenses just not in the way she goes about it. Fact is according to State formula the BOE can't cut anymore. Changing State Law and the formula woudl be the only way to get more cuts other than fewer kids. If she is nto compliant she should at the very least sit it out until she is certified, that is if she still can be.

Have a nice day Outofcontrol

Kurt Gardiner Gentleman Freeholder Candidate 2014

That does seem odd. Claire your title doesn't seem accurate. Can you post a correction.

Seemed to have touched a nerve. Your wandering off topic again. What was it? the letter from the chief school adminstrators information about school board members receiving notice of ineligibility, as early as OCT?

you're

Who?

Well let's just let the FBI do their work and we will find out there lady.

No he was shown mercy by the Horse. Lane claimed to have witnesses proving his claim of being attacked but he faced five witnesses with zero of his own. I told him no way would I allow my lawyer to continue that case.

He didn't like it but it was for his own good. Anyway, the FBI is less likely to be as merciful. Lucky for me I have the OJ defense all set to go. No one else does.

No FAP, she is not fit to sit on the BOE, not by a long shot.

Agreed FAP re: Claire says she got it direct from Ms.Sullivan that, and I quote, "Board members... Maureen Sullivan independently said they completed the background check in time".

Ms. Sullivan reads this site and can easily send a quick email to Claire to correct any statement that would mislead the public. She has not.

However, I disagree with Ms, Sullivan being honest and fit to serve on the board. I think she has proven time and time again that honesty and following educational ethics laws is not her policy.

But, like you, I am thankful that our entire board has complied with state law by completing their background checks in a timely manner. To do otherwise would be irresponsible and show a lack of respect for the students, parents and residents of the community.

Everyone makes a mistake. They won't repeat it. Can't say the same about your crew not repeating the same mistakes over and over again. You folks sure do like to vote for people that attract FBI investigations!

She sabotaged the process. The woman should be tossed out on her ass for her conduct and for deliberately screwing up the search process. Not only that, she should be given the bill for the cost of running another search process and for keeping those temporary hires on the payroll for that extra period of time.

Completely agree on Mason. Had she stayed true to how she portrayed herself a few years ago, she'd be mayor right now. Glad she let her true colors shine through so we could find out how truly disgusting and dishonest she is b/c she'd have been a disaster as mayor.

I chalk it up to Maureen being an accomplished liar. I am sure that everyone would happily turn back the clock and take back their support if they could.

And please, you never supported anything the mayor ever did so stop pretending otherwise. You are in bed w/ the felons. Always have been, always will be.

It is too bad that Ms Sullivan has chosen to lie down with seedier elements in town. She has been slow in revealing her mercurial, opportunistic true nature, much like Ms Mason.

I sincerely hope the letter was lost in the mail.

I think it's a case of answering only the question for which you have an answer. Asked if approved she is only able to say she filed the paperwork. When you get that kind of answer after asking a question 6 times, you can fill in the blanks without further input.

RAOFLMAO!

Hobbs dear, technically she didn't lie. She did complete the background check. But she did NOT follow Ruben's Law (Bill A444) enacted last May which allowed 7 months for the fingerprinting, etc. to be done. GA heard she was fingerprinted late last week.

What was the reason for this? Carmelo, Peter B., Frances, Minutillo, Soloblov, Gold, McAlister and Markle obeyed Ruben's law with time to spare.

http://grafixavenger.blogspot.com/2012/01/breaking-sullivan-on-boe-ineligible.html

GA, it was a lie by omission. Glad she got caught by her own little game of gotcha!

I disagree GA. Your story says fingerprints were done last week. That's January. Doesn't seem she completed anything until after the stated deadline of Dec 2011.

John/Red... Sullivan said she "completed" the background check. She didn't say she completed it in accordance with the LAW. So that's the technicality.

The devil is in the details.

There is the law and there is what Maureen thinks the law is. They 2 clearly aren't the same. To those attending the meeting tonight, enjoy Mayreen's hissy fit!

Bottom line:

Do we want someone who can be asked a question and then technically tells the truth all the while knowing that she is not telling the whole truth ?

Now more than ever if Maureen Sulivan remains in office the veracity of all her statements must be viewed as suspect.

If this had happened to another BOE member not aligned politically with Maureen Sulivan would be demanding their resignation in one of her now familiar psyhcotic political hate rants backed by her usual greek chrous .

So true, Hobbs!

it appears you were wrong nice try--- your righteous piece of scum

Puss face

"your righteous piece of scum" HHHmmm, seems like the impending runway trot in an orange jumpsuit as one of the new bitches in prison has you kind of jumpy. Please stay up late reading that plea agreement, especially the provisions relating to your obligation to testify truthfully. The devil is in the details. Since you only have a HS degree, you may need a good on line dictionary to understand some of the big words. May I suggest this one?
http://www.boyzbehindbars.com/v10/dictionary/dictionary.html

KHoboken- What a splendidly funny link:

Ass Betting: Gambling without any funds or means of paying back one's loses.
Baby: A weak prisoner used for sex, a "punk." (FL)
Bam-Bam: The mental health ward or an inmate whom is a mental health patient.(MI)

These are just a few of my favorites and I am not even out of the B's.

Is that how you're signing your letters these days?

Signed, your righteous piece of scum?

That works, very accurate. What doesn't work is that Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?
http://www.fbi.gov/news/videos/inside-the-fbis-internet-tip-line

You're an idiot. Sullivan is thoroughly anti-KF. Her failure to file her paperwork in the allotted 6 1/2 months is her own problem, not the mayor's.

Sullivan's slate last election was bought and paid for by Mason just like her pet Timmay was bought and paid for. Plus, Sullivan suffers from the same personality defects as Mason. Sullivan is just a Mason wannabe minus the bottomless checking account.

Real Results was a republican slate formed by Maureen Sullivan and funded by Richard G. Mason 7k worth of funding (some 90% of their total contirbutions, if I am not mistaken).

How can Mason be against Republicans yet fully support a republican slate?

AH, nevermind just more lies, inuendo and deceitfulness from Sullivan and your crew- same old/ same old.

ooc

What actions of the Mayor is anyone trying to cover up? Kind of a bizarro statement to make.

correction: Richard g Mason contributed $5,700 to the repulican sullivan created slate

If you recall (sic) Mrs. Mason made a big show of not wanting to endorse any BOE candidate so she had Mr. Mason write them the checks..

Like Maureen Sulivan , Elizabeth Mason can "technically" tell the truth without actually telling the real truth.

At least she mentioned it. Hoboken Reporter didn't even do that. Bottom line, if you don't read blogs, you don't know what's going on in this town.

Board members MUST have a letter of acceptance from the chru to meet the criteria of eligibilty to be board members. No letter of approval/eligibility before Jan 1 means not eligble to be a board member.

Curretn law/DOE school officials state that late filing board members may be able to get reinstituted as board members via appointment (board majority vote)after they have their approval letter.

Bottome line- NO Approval letter= NO board member.

"Failure to have completed the background check by Dec. 31 is also an offense and officials who refuse to step down could be charged with a fourth-degree crime under the new law. "

Maureen will ask to read a statement. Listen and see if you can guess who wrote it.

No explaining necessary. Rat her out to the state. The deadline was 12/31/11. She missed the deadline. Can't stand the woman and not at all interested in her excuses or her willing to tolerate the busybody's blatant ignoring of the law.

Nancy, Redrider765, and Faux Freeholder, it's easy to explain actually and it IS necessary. The New Jersey Department of Education is more sensible, humane, compassionate, understanding, civil and level headed than you vicious, hateful, selfish and narcissistic bullies. The State wanted to make sure the spirit of the law was followed- and it was-there are no criminals on the Hoboken Board of Education and you all knew that. They cut her some slack. They let her go. She got cleared by the NJDOE earlier today. But you three (and your other blogger bullies) wanted to make sure the letter of the law was followed- regardless of the consequences- and especially on your enemy. Your righteous lowlifes. So full of vile, hate, and vitriol--you make me sick.

Still no explanation for why Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?
http://www.fbi.gov/news/videos/inside-the-fbis-internet-tip-line

Between Redrider765, Nancy, and Faux Freeholder there's no shortage of rats on this blog to contact the state. Go at it vermin....report back to us when you get laughed out of the office ;-)

It once again comes as no surprise that prosbus is no big fan of following the rules when it suits his or his pal's purposes. Like Ms Mason's "creative financing" of people who then elected her Council President. All okay with that, "what's the big deal", etc.

Of course this "look the other way" sensibility doesn't apply if one is on the Reform side of the debate. Then it's letter of the law, replete with long fiery speeches, flowery language, "Bartlett's Quotations" and visual aids on easels, by gosh. The ongoing disparity is in equal parts getting oh-so conspicuous as well as uber-played out. Jeez, get the message straight already.

@p1ywood- evidently the DOE agrees with me. Save the canned righteous banter---

The ultimate stuffed shirt tells me to can the righteous banter!! Should I save the canned righteous banter so you can do a one-way misleading monologue of canned righteous banter? No thanks. Nor does the DOE agree with you. Maybe the law was just written for your political opponents.

Pussface

"... you vicious, hateful, selfish and narcissistic bullies." Projecting much, my vile little undereducated, traffic report squawking troll with an easel?

lol...so in other words this really did have much to do about nothing.

How is the horsey supposed to know that the vile creature got an email minutes before the meeting telling her that her last minute hissy fit and her missing the deadline by a good week would be overlooked by the state? Personally I think the state should have told her to go take a hike. BTW, how do you think Maureen (the gotcha queen) would have reacted had anyone on kids first done the same thing she did? She'd have demanded their heads. What a frigging hypocrite that woman is. Guess that is why you and your boss love her so much.

Propuss, why did you switch names just so you could respond to yourself? Come on already. Give the multiple personality disorder a rest already.

Redriderinfotainme be sure to have your alter ego Infotainme chime in too...we would not want to miss his comments

Propuss, Infotainme isn't me. Go ask anyone w/ access to our IP addresses. I am sure your boss is has been actively trying to find out who we are w/ her bottomless bank accounts. By now I am sure she has bribed someone to give you our IP addresses so why you insist on pretending I am someone else is befuddling. Or is the hacker queen unable to get anyone to help her out w/ LE breathing down her neck?

But do tell, can you tell us which grammatical analysis program you used to erroneously deduce I am infotainme? Would love to run your dozen or so IDs through that program.

Giant, I think it works like this. When convenient, obeying laws is only for those not wired in. We are supposed to have expansive parking regulations, but not enforce them. We are supposed to have "wheeling" laws, but not enforce them. We are supposed to require background checks by Dec 31, but not enforce it. Then in 2013 prosbus can be on about the "do nothing" pattern of lax enforcement.

Ultimately, this type of blind-eye business just unmotivates persons from doing things properly, since there always seems to be a work-around for those who like to play it fast and loose when it works for them, or they just can't be bothered adhering to the regulations, and beg forgiveness later. And it usually works unless someone has it in for you.

Yep...Pretty much.

1) She got the letter a little before the meeting started by pulling strings with her power-broker friends. That would be those evil republicans prosbus/hq is always warning us about.

2) KF hasn't said a word about it.

3) You're an idiot.

4) Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?
http://www.fbi.gov/news/videos/inside-the-fbis-internet-tip-line

Sullivan mislead the public and violated the law if she completed her background check after Dec.31, 2011. Is this conduct becoming a school board trustee?

"Failure to have completed the background check by Dec. 31 is also an offense and officials who refuse to step down could be charged with a fourth-degree crime under the new law. "If you don’t complete the background check, and you try to stick around, you risk going to jail. It’s as simple as that," said Assemblyman Jerry Green (D-Union), the legislation’s sponsor. Board members in good standing are expected to police their colleagues, said Department of Education spokesman Richard Vespucci, though it’s unclear how they or the state will handle disgruntled, ineligible officials who refuse to walk away or how the process will play out. "You can’t sit on your school board if you didn’t submit the background check," Vespucci said. "It’s the local board members’ responsibility to ensure that doesn’t happen." Ineligible officials who appear at school board meetings and attempt to vote could be arrested, Green said. There is no process to appeal ineligibility or disqualification under the law, which earned unanimous support from the state Legislature before Gov. Chris Christie signed it in May."
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/01/350_nj_school_board_members_mu.html

Basically, Maureen is a liar and she doesn't really care about following the law. She just cares about doing what she wants b/c she wants to or it is convenient for her. But the law can go out the window as far as she is concerned. Great example she sets there for the kids.

In short: it would appear that Ms. Sullivan and those other 349 board members don't get the concept of:
"your failure to plan is not my emergency"

1) Ok, now pretend someone from Kids First had done the same thing. Failed to comply for 7 months and gamed the system / jumped the line to get an 11th hour approval. Then re-write your spin.

2) You're an idiot.

No, the witch from Secaucus is a hypocrite. She knows damn well she'd be leading the lynch mob.

Project much?

No body has heard one word from Kids First on any of this.

You can thank Sullivan and her 349 other contemporaries for the waste of time and money.

How hard is it to get fingerprinted within the 7 month time frame?

You forget, OOC works in league w/ the same cast of characters who bought & paid for the last few slates of candidates that ran against reformers. She thinks everyone who supports the corrupt Russo/Mason cabal is working for Zimmer and operating under orders. She just can't fathom that we just post b/c we care and b/c we are disgusted by the people OOC shills for.

Bottom line: If Sullivan couldn't get her fingerprints done in 7 months what does this say for her ability to plan and work effectively?

She needed an army of ppl at taxpayer expense to get her fingers printed.

Way to Go, Sullivan!

Bottom line: Sullivan violated the law and Outofcontrol is flipping on this like a pancake after earlier calling for Sullivan's resignation.

Outofcontrol commented on the article UPDATED 8 p.m.—Hoboken School Board Completes Background Check
"We all know Ms. Sullivan reads this stuff, so let's ask her: 1) Did you get fingerprinted prior to December 31,2011? 2)Has the NJDOE received the results? 3)Are you a member in good standing of the Hoboken Board of Education? If the answer to all three questions is "yes", then this story was a waste of time. If the answer to any one of the above is "No", perhaps a resignation would be in order."

Oh please do tell us about all that string pulling GA. I think it is time for everyone to see Maureen for the political hack she has turned out to be.

Bottom Line:

Maureen Sulivan did not live up to the law and then when faced with the consequences had some political strings pulled to prevent further public humiliation.

Leave it to pseudointellect part-time brain surgeon IdiotGal to dig up an irrelevant biblical reference- targeting Jews, no less- to slap onto a local School Board matter. IdiotGal spent countles hours decrying 'nepotism' in the 4-hour unpaid audit of a college student at HHS, but is SILENT about 'nepotism' of Maureen Sullivan's Union County Freeholder Brother AND Interim Head of Union County Utilities pulling strings at the highest level of state governemt so she can FLOUT the law.

IdiotGal, other delinquent Board members were turned away from their respective School Boards last night. I suspect 349. At least 1 I know of.

You are a high-falutin' snob, honey. Making up rules when they serve your purpose and ignoring them when they don't.

Your hubby prosbus is MIA from a boat-load of Mason ELEC reports. What say you? Have you declared this revenue stream to the IRS? Figures you would defend a lawbreaker.

WAAAAA... the bully brigade is being mean again.

Hobbs, serious strings were pulled at the highest levels of the NJDOE's Criminal History Review Unit. The less-connected were turned away from School Boards across the State last night.

If I recall-- I believe the outcry was over Kids First appointing the treasurer of their political campaign for a temporary position at the Board of Education. A violation of nepotism rules (remember the Board President didn't vote on the motion) and possibly ethical violations. I'll be happy to go into this in more depth if you would like. But if I do--- remember, you are one opening the can of worms. Now, be quiet and just slither away.

If I recall the "outcry" came solely from you and your dirtbag husband. Now just slither on into the paddy wagon because...
Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?
http://www.fbi.gov/news/videos/inside-the-fbis-internet-tip-line

IdiotGal, no it wasn't a 'temporary position' which you well know. It was a 4-hour unpaid audit for a college class.

None of your 'depth' is required, thank you. That sludge-abyss would be better mined by a psychiatrist or someone sealed in a Bio-hazard suit.

Shucks, and I was hoping you'd spout another irrelevant biblical reference, although I would prefer if you'd stop picking on Jews.

Now, where is hubby prosbus on Mason's ELEC forms? Was he trying to hid his political operative work from his cable media bosses? Or just trying to hide his revenue stream?

I'd take up knitting if I were you... first project: an orange sweater to match his orange jumpsuit.

Ms. Pincus-- sometimes it is best to let the sleeping dog sleep. But, your narcissism compels you to have the last word. I understand. I hope you do as well.

No curiouslyobtusegal, we aren't interested in letting the cancerous lame off w/ a free pass on his spinning for Mason. We want LE to look into the matter. We want LE to look into how all of you folks are connected. And I am sure they are connecting the dots as we speak. Can't wait for the blue suits to share the fruits of their labors w/ you people and reward you all w/ a little trip to Club Fed if they have found you have earned one!

Mrs. prosbus, you are calling undeclared income and deception to the ELEC Commission and potential tax fraud a 'sleeping dog'?

Let's hope the 'sleeping dogs' at the state and federal levels don't wake up and bite. Shame on you, Mrs. prosbus.

Why yes, anyone can see that the comment:
"Board President Rose Marie Markle and Board Members Irene Sobolov said all the Kids First board members—also including Leon Gold, Theresa Minutillo and Ruth McAllister—completed their background checks."
shows that "Kids First, made an effort to continue to make the school system look bad, blew the whole thing out of proportion blow out of proportion and caused Another waste of time and money"

annecdotally...
Board members Peter Biancamano, Carmelo Garcia, Maureen Sullivan and Frances Rhodes Kearns all independently said they completed the background check in time.
What do their comments mean?

She sets a great example for all those students who graduate thinking they can willfully violate the law like she did.

Not surprised w/ your position. You are perfectly happy supporting people who buy votes, hack city email accounts, solicit bribes, take kickbacks, evade campaign finance laws & ignore the law in dozens of other ways. Not a shocker that you'd support Maureen & the rest of the ethically challenged crowd.

Moral hazard? You spread rumor and innuendo, lies and contempt and you see this incident as a moral hazard? You manage to get every name in on your enemy list with every post. And then you make the illogical jump that this activity leads to high taxes? Must be a nice world you live in where you are free of rationality and causal argument justification with no corresponding accountability and yet you feel justified in judging all those around you. Are we done? Or do you want to get another last word in?

I don't know about Dr. Toback but the very fact that you support him and say he is doing "great things" makes me suspicious.

Curious Gal- I don't have enemy's list just political opponents in a war declared formally by Frank Raia who uttered "this means war". Its just politics to me. Frank bumped into me after my solid turnout for Freeholder and we had a cordial conversation. That doesn't mean I forget what is at stake. There is nothing wrong with simply noting the players that support a return to the old tired bad way of doing things.

Actually, the politics of patronage does lead to high taxes and in some cases corruption. There is causation and it is quite rational. It requires that you understand jobs created for the sake of just creating jobs is inefficient and leads to increase in expenditures which then inevitably leads to higher taxes.

As for Toback, I leave it to you to make your own opinion. Any meaningful change will take time. I will support the slate that will give him the support he needs to improve our schools. Its for the children and also the taxpayer.

Have a nice day CuriousGal. Stay curious! Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

They sure are grooming Putzhold to be the next Cammarano. Same pliable ethics I bet too.

Because she can. Same reason Mike Russo got a 3room in CT in his 20s. That's the common denominator between these people who imagine they are on different side of the political fence (republicans and democrats). Abuse of power, abuse of privilege, inside deals. Call it what you will. Sullivan isn't interested in being a republican if it doesn't mean she can cut the line in front of all the little people. Russo doesn't want to be a democrat if it doesn't mean living taxfree in a unit he in no way qualified to receive.

They gravitate to privilege, not principle. Never principle.

It is disgusting how these people behave when they do whatever they hell they want and thumb their nose at laws everyone else has no problem abiding by.

Redrider765- Do us all a favor-- why don't your pull yourself from the keyboard and go buy your wife some new clothes for the next BOE meeting.

ThisMeansWar-- "privilege, not principle"-- unless it's a temporary appointment for a half day of observation for the treasurer of the Kids First political campaign. Than it is perfectly fine to suspend principle....correct?

Okay Propuss, I'll bite. Who do you think I am this time? Trust me when I say this, whomever you think I am, you are dead wrong.

Prosbus if you can't tell the differnce between the political favors done for Sullivan and Russo and 4 hours classroom observation which did not involve cutting a line or in any way taking away something someone else wanted and which is at the end of the day a good thing - then you're an even bigger ahole than I thought. And that is saying a lot.

WTH are you talking about? Who is a drunk?

Have a nice day getteledout44. Funny joke but I am worried that your online reputation will be forever damaged by your apparent bias against big and tall people.

However clever you think that joke is I feel obligated to correct your lack of scientific understanding. Dinsosaurs went extinct due to an ELE (extinction level event) like an asteroid strike and not some evolutionary breakdown that you imply according to currently accepted theories. Are you upset with me because I am opinionated or that my statements shed light on those who I oppose and you support?

I sense hostility in you but I hope I am wrong. In the spirit of more positive and constructive dialogue I leave you with this fun song that I hope lifts your angry spirits form the abyss you are in:

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacko boom boom
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

It was a night like this fourty million years ago
I lit a cigarette picked up a monkey start to go.
The sun was spitting fire the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice".

I walked a dinosaur I walked a dinosaur!
Open the door get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur.

Happy day gettheledout44!

And here is handy dandy link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event

This is after all an educational thread. Makes me wonder: Do they teach about evolution and dinosaurs in Texas? Maybe we should ask Petro. Is he still in Texas?

Probably won't stop me but I really want to help you with your joke telling. If the jokes are really good I will know you put the time into it to send me your very best. And that my adversary is very flattering to me indeed.

Again good day gettheledout44. Love those dinosaur jokes.

Faux Freeholder.... At least gettheledout44 didn't bring up your stooped shoulders, inability to look people in the eye, and your hiding from the world behind that camera of yours --- just a few of the external manifestations of the internal turmoil you clearly experience. Be glad gettheledout44 just compared you to a dinosaur rather than do a psychological profile on you.

He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked and and has an opinion on every event that occurs. -Voltaire

Have a nice day as well-- I mean that sincerely. Consider talking to someone rather than hiding behind your self defacing humor. Peace--

My goodness, the uni-browed troll who escaped from under a bridge (you should have let the 3 Bill Goats Gruff pass) attacking the PP's looks?

I am sure PP has paid the IRS their due and isn't hiding income. Canyou say the same thing?

Of course the pathetic lout can't say the same. We all know he was getting paid under the table to shill just like all of Mason's other friends and when she wasn't paying him, he was letting his wife support the family while he spent all day watching soap operas & poofing his hair.

Up to State of NJ to uphold their law, not the school board. Some will say it was Maureen's brother, a Union county Freeholder who took care of her problem, who himself gets six figure taxpayer paid contracts but not true.

I deserve all the credit. I looked down upon Maureen and in my mercy ordered it.
Now my political operatives have returned here to her defense.

Bow down and worship me.

Well he didn't have to do a criminal background check so who the hell cares but you propuss?

If you want to know Mr. anonymous keyboard warrior, I am sure you can look him up and ask- then get back to us.

Hey gettheledout44- You remind me of another poster that likes to bring up invalid arrests. Here is another Arrest that was settled out of court. Do you remember this one. Kinda of strange for a grown man to attack another man for taking pictures but alls well that ends well.

After Arrest, Hoboken Resident Files Countercharges Against Local Blogger

The incident took place on Monday April 12, right before a Board of Education elections debate

Hoboken resident Lane Bajardi, who was arrested after allegedly assaulting a local blogger at a public Board of Education debate last week, filed counter charges today.

A superior court judge downgraded the initial robbery complaint—robbery is a felony—to a Disorderly Person Offense, according to Lieutenant Detective Mark Competello. The entire case has been referred to the Hoboken Municipal Court for adjudication, Competello said.

Today, Bajardi, 39, filed simple assault and harassment counter charges against Roman Brice, who operates a local blog named Mile Square View.

http://hoboken.patch.com/articles/after-arrest-hoboken-resident-files-countercharges-against-local-blogger

Whatever happened to those counter charges? Did this guy have any witnesses? Please refresh my memory. Did Lane get the pound of flesh he was looking for?

Cliff's case will be dismissed by any fair judge.

In the story Claire as a first hand witness said neither man fell to the ground but that wasn't what was in Lane's counter charges report. He after all initiated the attack according to the victim Roman Brice and then had the audacity to claim he fell into the seats and hurt his hip. I saw him less a week later on Washington Street quite ambulatory. Others saw him the day after deftly handing out fliers.

This speaks volumes to Lane Bajardi's credibility as a public official and political operative.

What excuses? She just didn't feel like following the law. That is no excuse.

I doubt Dawn would dump a full spittoon or chamber pot on her if she were on fire.

No eating of anything over here. It is blatantly obvious that Maureen "I don't follow the law b/c I know people" Sullivan did not follow the law. Not only that, but it is very apparent when confronted by her law breaking and inability to follow simple directions, she was incredibly deceptive and lied to the press when asked about the matter. If she had passed her background check, she wouldn't have needed that last minute email she got minutes before the meeting. Those that followed the law didn't need to pull strings to get any such email. I am extremely dissapointed that the state allowed her to get away w/ it and hope next time she opens her big fat mouth, everyone remembers how little integrity she has and how little she should be trusted and believed.

Feeling good today, Mo? How come you deleted your comment on Facebook that was there last night?

Maureen Sullivan
In your face, haters. Gee, I wonder if the smelly drunks had to drown their sorrows in yet another beer. Yup!

BTW - you know what tears this town apart? It is the lying, the cheating, the scheming, the vote buying & the corruption that people who work arm & arm w/ the Russos, Mason & the rest of the gang engage in that tears this town apart. We wouldn't get so worked up if the lying, cheating and stealing ended. That is what tics us all off. You are just annoyed that we won't tolerate it any longer.

Maureen as victim, alrighty then. Who planned this plot to see Maureen Sullivan ignore the State law for ALL OF 2011? Was she kidnapped, held at gunpoint?

Laws are arbitrary and who said Maureen Sullivan passed her background check Monday? She had fingerprints taken on Friday.

The word is Maureen Sullivan had her ineligibility reversed minutes before the meeting?

Are you going to try to sell us something different. Really Maureen?

Why was interference needed last night to let Maureen vote at the meeting? You would have been reinstated anyway at some point.

Maureen, re: you - voted the same way as everyone else last night. So whoever intervened with the NJ DoE was doing a political coverup for nothing more than an attempt to hide the truth.

And you are still at it? LOL

Maureen has yet to answer why she ignored the law everyone else on the Hoboken BoE did. Ask "franksinatra" and see if she'll answer.

She's in coverup full out lying mode. LOL

Yeah, got to love how Mo is apparently Frank. And I love how Mo is ignoring the fact that she has been lying through her teeth! As I said before, what tears this town apart is the lying, the cheating & the scheming. Next time she I hope she just admits she is wrong, asks for a chance to fix things and deals w/ the consequences. And Mo/Frank, the multiple names online is way not cool. Use one and stick with it! You have been perfectly happy trashing your peers online using your real name. Pretty pathetic of you to do it using an additional SN as well

If she didn't have a letter from the state certifying her compliance then she hadn't completed the process. She got the letter minutes before the meeting, well after talking to Claire. That means she flat out lied. BTW, I don't even know where the fuck Westfield is. I live in 07030.

Redrider you raise a good point. An email did get to Maureen Sullivan saying her problem was being fixed. This came from the State of NJ DoE. She still has no letter like every other Hoboken BoE member who followed the law.

Who pulled the strings for all these after hours emails to reverse her ineligibility.
Maureen is lying. Again.

"That she had finished the process and had passed the check? well, that turned out to be true."

Maureen that's a lie. Show us the evidence. Print the emails from yesterday with timestamp information.

I dare you.

Yeah-- just imagine Redrider765. I heard the school system had to bring in extra social workers and psychologists to deal with the emotional fallout the children of the district were experiencing from the fact that Maureen Sullivan was a few days late on her criminal check. You clown.

Oh propuss, you fountain of puss, thanks for reminding us how this situation is just such a perfect example for the children she is supposed to be helping to make sure get a good education of how some people in this town think that lying, cheating and scheming are acceptable behaviors. Such a great example Maureen is setting for them.

Hoboken Answer- I will echo the words of Curious Gal earlier today--- leave the current superintendent out of your posts and most of all--- refrain from opinions of the quality of his appointment unless you want alternative viewpoints to start sprouting on Patch like weeds in a cow pasture.

Well, she did get her letter minutes before the meeting so she was in compliance w/ the law. But she also seems to have lied to Claire and that is not a criminal offense. But I do so love how one of propuss's many indentities is yet again riding to the defense of the dishonest.

Jeez Frank, IDK, maybe she lied? She isn't exactly the most trustworthy person on earth. The woman constantly leaks stuff that happens behind closed doors that is supposed to stay confidential. If the people she works w/ on the BOE can't trust her, why would you? Oh yeah, you are her.

And if you don't have inside information, then how the hell would you know who had who lined up for what? Sounds like another BS rumor made up by Mason & company as a distraction to me.

Nope, not buying Maureen Sullivan had her ineligibility rescinded before Tuesday night? Put up or shut up.

Are you drunk?

You have some nerve lady. Show us the timestamp information on your eligibility being rescinded last night. Enough with your bs, you flapped now prove it.

I double dare you.

HA - how about you file an OPRA request.

FBI: Knock, knock

CuriousGal: Who's there?

FBI: The FBI

CuriousGal: Hold on, I'll get him for you.

(shouting: "prosbus, where are you hiding? Oh... get out from the closet... no you can't wear my dress... they'll know it's you")

FBI: Knock, knock

CuriousGal: Who's there?

FBI: We told you already. Send him out or we're coming in.

Probably b/c you offended someone. Jeez are you obtuse curiouslyobtusegal. When you make stuff up , that tends to happen. Notice how Claire hasn't deleted anything pointing out how she was hoodwinked by Maureen. LMAO

Can't blame Claire for the fact that ... Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html
Is he credited in Beth Mason's IRS filings? Does he credit her in his tax forms?
http://www.fbi.gov/news/videos/inside-the-fbis-internet-tip-line

I wouldn't want to offend anyone Redrider--- this coming from the master of offensive remarks. Ridiculous--- you are just a thin skinned douchebag

Who said you offended me? I don't get offended by your kind.

It takes time to fabricate documents.

There's no maybe's here. What is your evidence your opponents are leaking. Are you aware that the NJ DoE is a public entity and people can call in every day and get the information on Maureen Sullivan's status.

You should know that because... it's a problem.

For Maureen.

Where's that timestamp?

Oh and Maureen, that's not exactly an apology to say, I think I'm busted because people leaked the truth about me. LOL

It's all public information available by a phone call. You should have thought about that before you and prosbus flapped about Maureen's rescinded ineligibility.

Why didn't you just apologize and say I'm fixing it? Now the lie is out in the public.

Maureen/FrankS, Busted, sweetheart. I submitted my comment the day AFTER the story broke in the Star Ledger and was referenced in Patch under "News". If you scroll down far enough through Patch's comments you will find you were not specifically referenced. You were sweating it out since that earlier post.

I posted: "Are there any Hoboken Board of Education members who didn't complete their background checks??

The lady doth protest too much. LOL

Perhaps Maureen, you should go look at GA's site. She has some nice screen captures of the leaks you posted online of the internal goings on of closed door meetings. And no, Sullivan didn't pass the background check long before the issue became public. She only was fingerprinted last Friday, well after 12/31/11. Suck on that hypocrite.

No one wants the rehash on the administrators who didn't get tenure. Ohaus didn't even want anything but teaching and tenure so it hardly matters about her drama.

We want the timestamp.

Show us the timestamp and the language changing Maureen Sullivan's ineligibility.
C'mon you can do it.

You'll at least feel better to be relieved of continuing another lie.

As usual-- franksinatra hits the nail on the head.

Sorry Prosbus- Don't agree with Fransinatra's post. Hillenbrand unfortunately did not have the "proper" certification for 5th 8th - grade. It was my bad for leaving out the word proper and I do apologize for that. I was not trying to mislead.

Ohaus complained about the politics but ultimately it was her politirickin' (aka Russo-like) that did her in. And that is my opinion.BTW she had another job lined up at the Donaldson hearing. She was just trying to get the Administration to meet her demands of little interference and oversight. My opinion. See below...

Maureen

Do you not realize what a colossal ass you have made of yourself between last night and today's performance posting here? You are ethically challenged, beyond hope of repair when it comes to artculating any principled argument and are utterly lacking in any true attributes of a community leader or a person that is responsible for the education of students. From accepting dollars from Beth Mason to fund your Real Results fiasco to the ridiculous and unsustainable support of Ohaus and the specious attacks on Toback today, you have more than amply demonstrated, with your utter contempt for the rules related to compliance with the fingerprinting requirements, that you are fit to serve in any community capacity. The decent thing to do would be to resign, take your venomous rants elsewhere and slither off into oblivion. But somehow, your sense of intellectual and moral superiority, however unjustified, will prevent you form doing so. Maybe you should take long look into the bottom of your next bottle and try and find some peace of mind. Get off the stage before your are unceremoniously dumped. Nobody really cares for an angry, bitter, souless, vile, dipso strumpet, regardless of how functioning they are and present themselves.

Puss Face, as usual, is being the uber douche of Hoboken. Is this you?

http://www.popthatzit.com/2009/10/giant-grandma-zit/

RF, you're wrong on this but i don't blame you. either this story is from before it came out about Hillenbrand getting the 5-8 grade certification or Claire got it wrong. But in quite dramatic fashion she announced she had gotten the needed certification at one of her two hearings, probably the second one, and the look on toback's face was classic. i'm sure you were at that hearing (you do stand out). you can doublecheck this with Toback or with Hillenbrand itself.
and Ohaus did not quit twice, only once, just for the record.

It is more about the fact that Maureen likes to play gotcha all the time and when she gets caught flouting the law, she lies about it. Coverup is always worse than the crime. Maureen/Frank is in massive coverup/distraction mode.

Hey dummy, everyone else did it so long ago that they got theirs via snail mail. Maureen waited til last Friday, well after 12/31/11 so she spent all day yesterday begging and pleading everyone in earshot to get an email sent over b/c she was asleep at the switch for the last 7 months.

Agreed, flashlight. Of those who play football or participate in drama in high school, less then one percent ever end up being able to do it professionally to support themselves. Everybody wants cheerful high school memories for the kids, but if the basics such and math and English aren't the priority the need to be, we are setting up many, many students for a huge let-down after graduation, and largely only giving them the skill set to make relatively menial incomes in the workforce. Sports and drama are great experiences, but the reality is the vast majority will need a fall-back plan to be fully prepared for success.

p1ywood- using the same stupid reasoning of yours....how many children who take math go on to become mathematicians? How many students who take English go on to be professional authors? Is becoming a mathematician the only reason to take mathematics? English? Of course not. Becoming a professional football player or a Broadway star is not the only reason to offer football or theater for high school students.

Curiouslyobtusegal, everyone except perhaps you uses math on a daily basis and even you use English. The constant need to use those skills is why those classes are so important. Perhaps you should have taken some logic classes in addition to classes in obtuseness? Or were you too busy learning to be a drama queen to take some real classes?

save it redrider--- you know what I meant. P1ywood was setting up a platinum standard for why we should not offer a football or theater program but required a much lower standard for english and mathematics. The low test scores in the hoboken school district is not because we offer after school programs. Is this simple enough?

Nobody wants to cancel football. But if the football coach ever started acting like a complete ass, started inviting students over for sleepovers, drove students all over the place, didn't want to teach classes, quit twice and then rescinded his resignation and then demanded tenure, I'd go find a new coach. Plenty of kids learn valuable lessons playing football without being on football teams that are State Championship quality teams.

CuriousGal,

I think extra curricular activities help educate well round young adults.

It seems the safe guards meant to ensure they students participating in extra curricular activities are sabotaged by a coach or a play's director, everyone should be concerned.

The children who were ineligible to participate because of poor grades are in the long run being cheated so that the coach/teacher can have great season on the field or successful show. When that happens extra curriculars can be harmful.

Curiousgal

Obviously I was not suggesting anything be cancelled outright, I was talking about prioritizing everyday skills that are often needed in the general workplace. But you knew that. Your incivility tells all the readers what they need to know about where you are coming from.

There really is no need for your immature name calling, or apparent need to weigh in on every comment made, whether you have anything tangible to add or not other than "I hate the current administration and all who side with them on any issue." Please stop. We get it that you are a Mason shill. Your arrogant posts are just plain uniformed and mean spirited. Attack mode you exhibit is completely uncalled for. Sorry life isn't going your way. Clearly, you are out to try to "score points" attacking others, without attempting to make sense and are incapable of posting in a civil way. Please get help for your serious issues.

Right just like driving 65 1/2 and 120 are both illegal. I take it you got through your entire formal education without ever once getting a "which does not belong" answer right. Rake, shovel, piano, and the dumbass circled rake every time.

Well, can't fix stupid. The good news is that curiouskim is just pretending to agree. She's not that stupid. She's that corrupt. Just like...

Oh yeah, did we ever figure out who stole that letter from the superintendent's office?

ThisMeansWar---you want to talk about what is going on today in the Hoboken public schools? Any regular reader of PATCH by now knows that after over 2 years of Kids First majority on the Board of Education: for the second year in a row, over 90% of Hoboken's public school children attend a school that has failed to make adequate yearly progress. Today, and for the second year in a row, 3 of 4 schools have failed to meet state and federal standards for adequate yearly progress. QSAC scores in Instruction and Program (that needed to be distributed by private citizens at a BOE meeting because Kids First didn't want the scores released) have plummeted over 20% in the past year. And, most telling, parents disgust is evident in the FACT that Hoboken Public School enrollment is down 19% in the last 2 years.

And if your friends in the Russo/Raia/Mason clique were running things, the schools would probably be worse and we'd have 100 or so more people on the payroll and higher taxes too. We don't need the people you shill running things in this town. What we need is them gone.

In fairness, thanks to passkey for posting the data previously to my previous post---

Speculation Redrider765--- meanwhile, Rome is burning.

Rome is not burning. The schools have always stunk in this town. The only difference b/w now and back when the people you support ran things is no longer is the true condition of the schools being hidden and no longer does the stench of corruption overpower everything else. Reformers are cleaning up this town and getting rid of the waste, fraud & abuse of power. They'll get results or we will find new REFORMERS to do the job for them. No vote buyers or their friends needed or wanted IMO.

So the new rhetoric is lowered expectations? Sounds like a good election platform given that Kids First has been in control for a few years now. Good luck with that.

No, the new rhetoric is the same as it has always been. Get in there, dig around, figure out how bad things are, find all the things that corrupt gang before you swept under the rug and then clean things up. Can't fix things til you find out how bad things are. And you sure as hell can't fix things if you hide how bad things are like previous administrations did.

....and blame everyone else and take no responsibility.

And if you folks get back control of the school then I expect you will be back to having 600 employees, 200 of which do nothing all day and taxes will rise. That is your grand plan. None of you care about the schools. This is all about getting control over the budget again. That is why you people are so willing TO BUY VOTES. It takes money to steal money.

Again, speculation Redrider765 as to motivation. Meanwhile, look at the loss in confidence in the public schools under the watch of Kids First-- pretty telling.

Not speculation, it is called history. Some of us learn lessons from history. You clearly haven't learned anything propuss.

'personal'? Not at all. Tax cheats just put the burden on the honest, taxpaying folks to carry their dead weight. I would also say that people who don't pay their share into the public school system by stiffing the IRS lose their right to criticize it.

What do you think about that CuriousGal and hubby? Should tax cheats really have a voice in the public school debate?

Yeah, I really hope the FBI roped the IRS into their investigation. People who lie, cheat & steal rarely pay taxes. And when they pay people under the table to help them, those people certainly don't pay taxes. Guarantee you they could find at least a couple dozen tax cheats if they bothered to look

Red, no roping required.

Bid Rig IS the F.B.I., I.R.S. and the US Attorney for the District of NJ acting jointly to prosecute corruption in NJ- ongoing since 2002. Crimes such as tax evasion are where most of these prosecutions end up because they are easy to prove and come with long prisons terms- and substantial fines. In this case, the online exposure that some who will be prosecuted or prosecution witnesses have put themselves in a box. It is obvious who is being advised by counsel and who isn't.

RG, I know hundreds (yes) who feel the same. My kid is being given 7th grade math in her 4th grade classroom- one of her classmates is starting HS math.

No point in arguing with ops.

Reformerus_Gianticus and Grafix Avenger, it's unfortunate for Kids First (Theresa Minutillo and gang) that the federal government and the state of new jersey designate schools as making Adequate Yearly Progress by actual objective test data administered in a professional and standardized manner rather than based on anecdotal hearsay by anonymous bloggers.

Please, she will never admit that she was too lazy to get this done on time and too cowardly to admit she was wrong.

Well Redrider Maureen Sullivan learned from my playbook. Never admit you are wrong and when caught in a lie you move on and let my minions come in and try to change the subject.

Admit it, we're consistent.

Waaaaa! Those mean bully bloggers!

You want nice? Talk to these guys and gals- oh, they are nice!

Report Tax Cheats: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=106778,00.html

Okay prosbus, you can pick up your check tomorrow. Good job but Maureen Sullivan got caught so it's time to cut the losses. Fill out a piece of paper on time for heaven's sake Maureen. I can prosbus over to do it for you.

What you fail to want to recognize is the drop (fall, plummet) that has occurred under the Kids First leadership (test scores, AYP status, state wide rankings) and rises (disciplinary reports, school violence incidents, lawyer costs, food service costs) and the resulting 19% reduction in student population in the last 2 years (2200 to 1800). Spin all you want-- but families are abandoning the hoboken public schools in mass and for apparently good reason. Changes are needed at multiple levels and quickly.

Enrollment is decreasing because of demographic factors? Pull your head out of Nancy Anus for a minute and do the math. didn't dawn make a big deal out of the fact that the hoboken population has jumped past 50,000 according to the 2010 census. the only charter school thats opened in the past 10 years is hola with a couple of kindergarten and first grade classes.

maybe the way to figure out why hobokenites don't want to go to hoboken schools is to ask board member Irene Soboloov. she was head cheerleader for hoboken high but she wouldn't let her son go there. maybe he wanted to be in a paula ohaus production and was bummed out when his mom FIRED OHAUS.

Ms. Anus, please investigate why your kids first friends didn't meet the june deadline in the law to get their fingerprints in.

The NJDOE must be in full damage-control mode.

200 people have their names splashed in the press as ordered to vacate their Board seats. Their forced public resignation is apparently because they don't have connected family members.

I'm guessing more than a few lawyers are getting phone calls today. Anyone 'spared' in the 11th hour- right before a Board meeting, for example- will probably be deposed and the details of their amnesty will be revealed.

#pp any Westfield school board members on that list?

Dear Mrs. Sires,
So sorry. You should be electrocuted for missing the deadline. sorry i can't come to your house and do it myself. but I'm going to draw hilllllaaaarrrrioouuuus photoshops of you in nazi gear. i'm a zoning official who brings tremendous disgrace to my mayor who appointed me but i don't care.
yours truly,
Nancy Anus

gettheledout44 = dangerous psychopath

You're right, Lane Dastardly. I think this person has a dangerous obsession, some kind of psycho-sexual pervert, a misanthrope. Contacted AOL legal dept.- waiting on the requested info, hopefully can get w/o a subpoena.

Speaking of unpleasant memories...Lane Bajardi has NEVER appeared in an ELEC report for Beth Mason or Tim Occhipinti. He appears in this midnight video for Occhipinti's campaign leaders. http://www.hobokenhorse.com/2010/10/grist-for-mill-midnight-monday-meeting.html

You are very silly.

Ms. Avenger, I think you frayed her nerves and popped her cerebral cortex.

what a creepy, angry poster gettheledout44 is. realllly creepy and odd and obsessed

Excellent post gettheledout44-- we must never forget the tactics of Mayor Zimmer's appointed zoning board member, Nancy Pincus. Thank you for posting that quote by Rabbi Sheinberg--

Gee, I wonder if Lame and the "little" lady have added a new posting name. I hope Mason is paying them handsomely Or maybe it's the wee one posting. They all be awgrwee

That's weird prosbus hq. Why would you call your own wife "get the led out"? Problems at home? Maybe you two should turn off the computers for a while and talk. Make sure you're wife doesn't make the same mistake you made since she is OBVIOUSLY being paid to campaign for anti-KF. What mistake you say?

Leddie, you forgot the last part of the quote..."Now it is time to move on." Maybe that changes your thought about a single post referencing the Holocaust from a Jewish author being a "fixation."
Of course, if you have no good reasons to say Ms. Sullivan was right...as she clearly was wrong, how's throwing **** against the wall and seeing what sticks working?

Maybe sanity and rationale decision making by the NJDOE has stolen the day from the politically motivated mob mentality that has been exhibited with this policy. I know that doesn't play well with the bully blogger brigade here on HOBOKEN PATCH....

As I said before, had she been honest from day 1 and just fessed up to her mistake, said she would do what it takes to rectify the situation and apologized for not taking the steps necessary to get the background check done on time, this would all be a non-issue and there would be all of about 10 posts here. But she didn't do that. She deliberately hid the truth, she tried to cover it the mess she made and she got caught. Now she looks like crap.

As soon as you get done trying to cconvince us Beth Mason is not a fraud, or that her and your positions don't change with the wind.

Wow, the man retroactively changed the deadline. So what? Doesn't changed the fact that Maureen was in violation of the law or that she ignored the requirements for service on the BOE and had to use her connections to get a free pass on that. Scummy woman all around. Reminds me of that other sleazy woman in the 2nd ward who thinks she is above the law.
