What does the Lakewood Municipal Utilities Authority board actually do that they deserve ANY salary??
ReplyDeleteLet’s be honest. It’s known as a salaried government appointment handed out as a bonus to only politically connected individuals who want to place themselves in a position of influence, where developers must come on to them to nod yes to their projects. They also get to raise our water/sewer utility bills.
DeleteThere is no background necessary for this cushy job, other than being connected.
In fact, 2 out of the 7 commissioners don’t even reside in Lakewood, and another 3 don’t reside in the MUA service area - so they suffer no impact from any of their “decisions”.
The Board officially meets 12x a year for very short meetings. Since Covid season began, members only call in to the meetings from the leisure of their living room couches (unless they’re on vacation or too busy). The Board voted to suspend all in-person meetings due to the ongoing health emergency.
They explained recently that they’re raising all their non-commissioner employee salaries by 6% this year, because they’re following the lead of the township. However, they did not explain why they are not following the lead of the Lakewood planning & zoning boards which also hold in-person meetings. Perhaps it’s because the land use board members are strictly volunteers and receive no compensation, unlike the MUA which compensates quite handsomely.
I think 3 members live out of town and could care less about Lakewood
Deleteis yeshiva shaar hatalmud (rabbi mintz yeshiva) planning on moving from beis pinchos or is this the beis medrash?
ReplyDeleteLakewood Green Kosher is a great thing. However, all the Taynos that Reb Yudel had on others are now here with his product.
ReplyDeleteThe Mashgiachs family selling their own stuff and certified by a self appointed Dayan & Moireh Tzedek.
The product beatsmost others by miles but the Kashrut game and the Profit incentive is NOT lacking here.
Positiv/Bodek is still better. They don't need washing and removing the stalks.
DeleteAnd the hashgachos are known for their expertise, this company has a new hechsher that nobody recognizes or knows about.

When the Mashgiach's family are the wholesalers and when the Rav Hamachsir is self appointed (opposing any kehilla appointed Rabbonim and all other established poiskim)
then we got issues according to Reb yudel's Guru Reb Moishe Shernbuch Shlit'a.
I'm sorry I don't understand your message about self appointed Rav Hamachshir. There are so many of those! Almost all non huge Hashgachos are not hired they decided to open Hashgacha. We have a few of them here in Lakewood. I never heard of that as a problem.
DeleteAnd second, how do you know that the Mashgiachs family is the wholesaler?

ReplyDeleteAs the Satmar Roov ZYO said and published after the six day was:
Its Mahseh Sooton.
How ironic that some of those on the conference call have themselves raitzed uhn the goyim and caused sinas yisrael with lawsuits and over development. Suddenly they care about anti semitism. It is called oppurtunists
ReplyDeleteWhy are the neighbors giving talmud torah of lakewood such a hard time?
ReplyDeleteBecause they want to live in peace and quiet. Duh!
DeleteThe neighbors are 100% correct. I would do the exact same!

The Organizers
The do nothing leaders and politicians should fix the real problems in Lakewood instead of a PR phone call about what has been going on since Esav was born. In Brooklyn this happened as cars splash you on purpose driving in the rain and in Lakewood too. Giving this publicity calls for copy cats.
