  1. I would do everything possible to encourage the missionaries to continue to work Lakewood, NOT to chase them away. Better that they waste their time in Lakewood, than somewhere else where they may have success.

    1. As long as people denounce them and denigrate them when they do appear. Anything Less will be for the Youth bad Optics

    2. For the longest time, I suspected that my roommate in the Irv was Jews for J. Boruch Hashem I was mistaken. It was a false alarm.

  2. Scott Basen has been a lousy judge. His demeanor is nasty. He has been an unfair judge and refused victims the right to express themselves in their defense. Why should we continue giving this unqualified individual a salary? On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being lowest, he’s rated at 2. The people of Lakewood deserve better!!

    1. Agree, anytime I was in court, all I saw was how rude and not empathetic Mr Bason is. Lakewood deserves better. They can't find a better person or is he the best connected and not qualified to much better

  3. How many years since a park was promised at James/Cross street. This township is a joke, just appeasing a few machers, and taking us for a ride.

  4. Let's boot him. We have a right to oppose the appointment and if fail we can go to Superior Court and have his re-appointment and kickbacks

    1. It actually is important as lakewood built a 30 million dollar state of the art dpw with truck washing as the way to bring in money by renting it out and now they are paying to have it done elsewhere.

  6. "More than a thousand people came in person" for the Rubashkin event?
    That is false.
    Having been there, I can say there were maybe a few hundred. "More than a thousand" is beyond exaggeration
