    How about a girls' school first?

    1. You're entitled to do your cause. They're indeed doing a maaseh of tzidkus - an action of righteousness. And that is their mitzvah which they've grabbed.

      What is your cause? I sure hope that it's not attacking others for doing good. Go choose yours. You can choose more than one. There's no limit!

  2. Can we bring a good maternity ward back to MMC?

  3. Wow. The ignorant Planning Board attorney needs to go back to law school. The utter disdain and disrespect he showed to the court last night is contemptible. If he's too lazy to read the Judge's ruling and transcript of the hearing, which he clearly failed to do - then he's also failed to serve Lakewood's residents with good legal counsel. Replace the bum!

    1. Going both ways without a larger coherent Hashkapha

      A bifurcated approach

    2. one inevitable outcome of the torah approach is that you have a place to live where you can go online and bash the people who created the community you are benefiting from and providing nothing for

  5. A serious medical upgrade is needed it is a Sakana that people vm have to wait 4-5 days to see a regular doctor
    It is crazy that children have to wait 6-9 months for dental appointments
    Urgent cares are good for strep and ear infections but they are not there to look for a comprehensive health check.

    1. Rachmana litzlan from Menashe the Abolisher. Maybe he can finally get his non-existent county rent control board to deal with Lakewood’s rental problems. 😆

    2. He's moving to toms river and won't be able to keep his Lakewood job.

    3. If Menash moves to Toms River, then he'll finally be able to own his house.

    4. Miller's sales pitch is that "The county infrastructure is simply not keeping up with the growth in Lakewood."

      Is he for real? What about the "Township" infrastructure not keeping up with the growth in Lakewood?? He was the person in charge of that, and he still failed us.

      Besides, he's at fault for appointing the land use board members that allowed the wild west development that's been taking place before sufficient infrastructure is put in place, to accommodate the growth he's pushed for.

  8. It is sick and disgusting for fellow jews to use public office for personal gain and self promotion. The olam should Not vote for them. They can only make problems.

  9. Miller failed Lakewood. He has the chutzpah to blame the county for bad roads in lakewood. Does he think we are such fools. He's done nothing for the quality of life and was missing from township meetings and the traffic and potholes on township roads speak for themselves.
    we don't need him getting his hands in the county. Let him leave public office and get a job

  10. Healthcare is a failure in Lakewood due to direct actions taken by Chemed. They have for years scared others away and in some cases forced insurance companies to not accept other Dr's onto their plan. Chemed exists via federal funds for underserved communities. If we get served, they loose their funding.

    1. Just so everyone is aware, Menashe Miller is Chemed's Director of Public Affairs. Now you know the rest of the story..

  11. Who is guiding these misguided politicians to run for high public office possibly putting the klal in danger. We need the rabbonim and rosehei yeshiva to address this ASAP.
    Rav Matisyahu Solomon was adamant against too many frum politicians. This is dangerous

  12. Terrible he'll need to start attending meetings in person.

  13. Remember he collects a full pension after 20 years in office, so it makes sense he drops of Lakewood committee at his 20th anniversary. Even if he looks ses he has his excuse to retire from the township committee.

    1. We need to repeal the Ordinance to provide free lifetime health insurance. These committeemen already took enough from us, and they keep giving away taxpayer owned property which we need for our infrastructure. We can no longer afford their lifestyle.

    2. & till now we could afford?!?

  14. Please tell me this is a purim joke.
    Menashe can't take criticism for local problems. Now he's dreaming of county. He should retire and leave us alone. No one needs this

  19. I wonder if a single one of those ads got one person to vaccinate in Lakewood! Welcome to government waste!

    1. I hope it inspired people NOT to vaccinate, in which case it would have been money well spent.
      No one else needs to have #DiedSuddenly after taking the #CovidShot.
