What time is the bnos devora pick up for weekly box
ReplyDeletePlease do NOT raise my taxes to spend $825,000 on a playground in the middle of nowhere! And NO more township grants with my tax money!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is how tax payer money gets used. This park will help all those who moved into the Oak and Vine neighborhood. Instead of developers building pocket parks and putting in playground equipment the township sponsors and provides it with tax payers money and then raise taxes again
DeleteMiddle of nowhere?? Is Pine Park in middle of anywhere?? Secondly, there are plenty of people that live on Chestnut, Presidential Estates etc that will be right near there...
DeletePlaygrounds is a very legitimate use of taxpayer funds. They are available for use for every member of the public and provide a needed outlet.
DeleteDoes anyone know where I can find the new coronavirus case numbers?
ReplyDeletewatch the governors daily press conference, he releases it then
ReplyDeleteMichael, we ♥ you! Keep up the great work that you do pn behalf of ALL of Lakewood's children, each and every day!
ReplyDeleteSpeak for yourself.
DeleteSo nice of Michael not to raise his salary above the current $750,000!!!!!! - For a PART time job. Plus he gets to bill for any litigation ontop of his base salary.
ReplyDeleteIf he really cared about the BOE and its students, he would take LESS salary! Yes, I know when he wasn't the BOE attorney, he sued the BOE and made more money. But that just shows where his priorities are.
Since the Governor's decisions are all based on data, what data does he have about where the virus will be in two weeks from now. When will people wake up and realize that we are like sheep bing taken to slaughter. This is insane, while we lose our livelihood and he blames Trump. But George Floyd is important. We should open stores to honor his memory.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Gov Murphy. But don't belittle what happened to George Floyd, watch the video, it was horrific. I know most cops are decent. but when you look at that cop's face while he is killing him with his hands handcuffed behind him, that could've happened to any one of us if we would have disrespected that egomaniac. Police should know they work for us. They like Gov Murphy sometimes let the power get to their heads and feel like they are more then just public serpents.
ReplyDeleteAgain, not all cops, but too many.
A group was granted a permit to hold a peaceful protest in Downtown Lakewood.
ReplyDelete*********
Is that a joke?!
Every single one of these violent riots throughout the country started out as a "peaceful protest"!
Let's hope that whoever granted this permit won't have blood on their hands.
The township sold the property of the old community center on 4th street what happened to all that profit is it going to this playground next to Oak and vine
ReplyDeleteThe committee members voted to sell that lot for less than its market value to a connected individual for his investment purposes. This action was taken despite the pleas and protests of the neighborhood not to sell the much needed and only public play center in that whole area. It is wrong to steal from one group of residents in order to curry favor with another special interest group.
Deletethis is exactly how the Lakewood corruption works. A well connected askan gets a property for less than market value and stripping the area residents of the only place to play ball and then at the same time a well connected committeeman who profits off the over development makes sure a special interest group gets everything they need and want including parks sidewalks transportation programs all paid for by Lakewood tax payers who lived in town their entire lives and still have no sidewalks or play areas for their children. Thats the face of the leadership
DeleteWhy do there always have to be annoying residents that think everything is coming to them? The members of the Committee were voted in by the majority. So anything they do is obviously approved of by the majority. If you don’t like it, then you have the option to go vote at election time. But you can trust me that every special interest group in town is beholden to us for the special unadvertised favors we do for them, and they can sway the minds of many more voters than you can. So good luck trying..
DeleteIf we are wise then we would all join this protest tomorrow. The more peaceful people, the more likely it is for it to remain peaceful.
ReplyDeleteYou are perpetuating a myth

We too, should protest. The world should now that serial killers need to be stopped, not promoted. Police must learn that force is the last resort, not the basis of their authority. And we should all learn that skin color is a pigment, not a measure of character.
ReplyDeleteWe probably should protest. Read about the other stories they're protesting. Breonna Taylor an emergency room technician, killed after being shot 8 times "by mistake" when plain clothes police burst into her house executing a no knock warrant for drugs, not the biggest emergency. The man in the house not knowing they were police, how should he know, no knock means no need to identify fired at police with a licensed gun. He was afraid for his and her life. After the fact police say they did identify themselves even though they didn't have to. No neighbors corroborate their account and conveniently there are no body cameras. The man's 911 call proves his side of the story. Oh, and there was no drugs or anything else that they were looking for. How would we feel if this was our wife, daughter, mother?
Delete"And we should all learn that skin color is a pigment, not a measure of character."
DeleteUh take those blinders off your eyes. The majority of the looting and violence is taking place by who?
police at Bais sholom chasing out the olam that was learning there
ReplyDeleteThey should have had george floyd signs, then they would have been fine
DeleteThe electricity was shut off the olam brought their own lighting
DeleteThere are no distancing nor amount of people, indoors or out doors for protests (or rioting).
ReplyDeleteThere will be peaceful protests in all botie midrashim at the following times, shachris protests, first seder protests, mincha protests, etc.
No worry about the protest we are armed to the teeth with blue bottles of milk and cases of apples
