Not Yashrus people are waiting in line for 45 minutes on oak Street and cars are cutting into the line from Funston street chutzpah!!
ReplyDeleteThat’s so wrong.
DeleteFor which location? Wondering if shayach for me to even go, was going to leave the house now
So go to Funston st. Same thing happened to people coming from Albert getting before people coming from the 9. And people cutting in from Cypress ahead of people coming from the 9. Unless there is a preapproved roadmap, this will happen.
DeleteThe Albert approach took almost an hou waiting people coming from funston should either take vine and make a left into Oak or make a left on oak and turn around at the end of the line.
DeleteIts disgusting to do that when people sat and waited for an hour and to just push in and cut the line
People have been reduced to waiting on food lines . Like beggars .
ReplyDeleteThe Askonim are continually pushing us down .
Amazing no Propaganda about the school budget or breaking updates about its passing only about the township rental plan to give out money for tenants so landlords can get paid that has nothing to do with the Board of Ed and propaganda about lunches that are paid by the federal govt nothing to do with the boe. The people see right through all this smoke and mirrors
ReplyDeleteWhat is this thing about rental assistance? Where do I get more information on this?
DeleteMore than 700 thousand dollars for legal fees now you know
ReplyDeleteAnd those are the best spent funds in order to keep making sure that, given our Twp’s unique situation, everything else stays legal and works in the most optimal way it can the way it can.
DeleteIts not only about legal, How many millions are spent on other programs including salaries just to keep "the best spent funds", how much does the promotion cost
Deletewhat happened to all the lawsuits for special ed students is the town doing everything legal what changed
The LSTA is pressuring schools to get the parents to pay the $150 fee for next years transportation. The LSTA should have a surplus for not having to provide bussing for these 4 months and all this money should go to sponsor the non mandated busing for yeshiva parents the same way the township pays for the public schools non mandated bussing.
ReplyDeleteThe public should be informed about the surplus where is the oversight committee where is the transparency with the tax money
Right, they must have savings in gasoline that they are not buying, at least. Idk if they areaying workers, but the gas itself should cover the 'fee'.
DeleteReally? are they paying the drivers to sit home all day, even the meal runs are once a day and that's not from the LSTA budget so there's a savings of millions. The bulk of the large mosdos are not sending meals on the buses either. The drivers can also collect unemployment.
DeleteWhich school sent out the letter re tuition?
ReplyDeleteThat is so Menchy! It’s really a hard time now for families. I think the schools are trying the best that can but this IS NOT working instead of school. I’m praying my kids schools do the right thing!!!
DeleteThe OU and RCA have anointed their new Mara D'Asra. Rabbi Dr. Faucci. He has already declared that Rosh Hoshana and yom Kippur minyanim will be effected.
ReplyDeleteThe BOE spending is irresponsible. How can anyone justify salaries so high and still ask for a loan from the state?
ReplyDeleteWho anointed the RCA spokesperson of orthodox jews
