- R' Aaron Lang on upcoming elections for the BOE with 3 seats open. "BOE doesn't understand the folly in denying me the summer school job this year that I had for almost two decades. Legal work comes in spurts. Otherwise, I have all day to drum up resentment and support against them, their boss, and the whole system of governance in Lakewood. Again, I'm giving you a once in a century opportunity for reform. Who will oppose? The whole town and NJ is on our side. If system can't rein in someone so contrary to public interest for opposing my case IN YOUR NAME, an enemy of the public trust, you can reform system easily.

What can we all do to support Aaron Lang? Aaron has done so much to help the taxpayers, the public school students and it appears he is getting 'thrown under the bus' We need to do something... protest? Support at board meetings? It is mamesh maseh sdom...
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteShow up at boe board meetings and tell the board to fire the now lawyer and superintendent because they aren't helping in Aron Lang's fight.
DeleteIt is precisely nonsense like Anon 9:28 that puts people off. How will 'telling them to fire' help? Will they listen? Why should they listen?
DeleteGive us practical eitzos, not stress relieving ones.
It will do not good the show up before the present BOE. Most of them are scared of thier boss. Even the Vaad and BMG have no influence over them, so they certainly will not listen to the oilam. They would rather not attend a meeting than confront the attorney.
DeleteThey are not scared, they just don't care. Protesting helps, it takes away the claim that the public supports all their waste and shenanigans. Official public record has plenty use when making a legal case.
DeletePeople, this is your chance. The Commissioner is under fire, the monitors are ineffective and the kehilla, despite its best efforts to show support and rein in the tyranny, has been ineffective.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong, but is there a city of over 100,000 in America that has no competition in BOE elections? Maybe in a town of 5,000.
How can a city of 150,000 have no competition for the public trust over a budget of $400,000,000?
The Township budget is just $120,000,000.
The center of gravity is the BOE.
It seems to me that, b'syata d'shmaya, the people of Lakewood have been delivered, on a silver platter, a once in a century opportunity for change.
Why do we pay BOE Atty well over 1,000,000 of OUR Hard earned $,when any 1st year law student could easily do it for a 10th the Price
ReplyDeleteI will donate $1000 plus to start the Election Campaign to elect Aaron Lang for Committee.How long must we put with the Blatant Chillul H'.Where are all our Frum leaders who turn a blind eye to the Fleecing of the citizens of Lakewood, They've lost site of rite and WRONG.A total disconnect from Torah
ReplyDeleteWe are cursed by our very own SWAMP of leaders,Every Board member on Twp. Committee, Planning,Zoning,BOE,Sewer Authority...are involved in Pay to Play,Fact not Fiction except for One,Mr Ackerman,the rest are Fleecing us for every penny we have and at the same time Destroying our Quality of Life
ReplyDeleteAckerman? That's a funny a joke
DeleteCan you name me one Honest politico in Lakewood,who sincerely cares about it's citizens
DeleteI think it is too late to be on the ballot. A write-in will never work.
ReplyDeleteI remember,quite sadly being in The Corporat and office of BMG in the boardroom and was shocked to see a huge map of Lakewood. A Torah institution,figure there would be Portraits of all the great leaders who built BMG on the walls,but instead a map of Real Estate Their Feefdom, and we are there indentured serfs
ReplyDeleteIf that's your problem, you are nowhere even close.
DeletePictures on the walls prove nothing. We have people talking all day about Reb Aaron Kotler, yet never miss an opportunity to use their public personas to mistreat Yungeleit. All the while claiming to represent Yungeleit.
Lang,Ackerman,Hershkowitz, a ticket for own Sanity and pocket book
ReplyDeleteLeave Albert out his been in the committee for many years and before that the planning board he's done nothing, doesn't anymore pretend to care either.
DeleteAnother Major Swamp creature that we are instructed to vote for year after year is Bob Singer who has done a bunch of Little things for Lakewood but has taken care of himself and appointed cronies in a big way on our dime,and a big shout out to our mega swamp creatures called the Vaad,who tell us who to vote for,Thanks to them and others we keep voting in a Sickening and Damaging woke agenda
ReplyDeletesinger has done a lot to help many people in lakewood. if everyone on the township committee was like him, we would be in good shape.
DeletePeople have their heads totally in the swamp of the mainstream media, who have convinced them that there is a leftist monster out to get them with 'woke' stuff.
DeleteStop listening to them and reading their papers, and you will see that the world is fine, and the agenda is nowhere.
Is that comment for Real? Can he want us to go further than we have already?
DeleteSo you like sinking in the sick nevala?
You sure like what your Creator hates
cf.this weeks maftir
What type of creature are you?
Keep your distance from us.
It's beyond even that generic nevala now.
How much worse is it going to be before you can, if you ever can,decide it might be too much?!
Delete"I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters."
"the world is fine"
What an odious idiot
We are in the mess we are in because we tolerated amiably for too long your swamp propaganda
That type.
Enough.
This fella is almost as crafty than Bila'am
Kinda like saying there are no traffic issues in Lakewood or over 100 accidents a week in town,where is this Fine world you talk about
DeleteI'm not sure what is Woke, but LHS graduation was all Spanish. Seriously. There was just a small amount of English spoken, and that was translated into Spanish. The Spanish, about 90% of the speeches, was not translated into English.
DeleteThe BOE apparently approves of and encourages this because its meetings are translated into Spanish as if that were an official language of America. There is no reason why parents can't get a translation by way of the district website on their cell phone using earbuds.
Problem solved. No more Spanish spoken out-loud to the oilam. A BOE member or district employee can translate a Spanish speaker rising to the podium pursuant to the First Amendment right to petition the government.
By high school, the vast majority of students speak English. Even so, announcements in LHS are translated. What does your BOE say about this? Do they even know? Or is it like everything else, they don't have a clue.
Take note that the compulsory education law in NY State that cause trouble with some yeshivas says you have to teach all required subjects in English (in both public and private schools). English learners get just three years and by then are expected to know English.
Gibbon wrote that customs and law follow language. Accordingly, if we want to preserve the American way, all official tax supported communication has to be English. Just because so many parents that live in Lakewood don't bother to learn English should not be a reason for our tax our elected representatives to encourage Spanish. That is not the will of the people.
BOE refuses to verify that students are actually residents of Lakewood. Lots of tax dollars going to provide for out of district pupils.
DeleteAre you drinking Kool Aid
ReplyDeleteWhere is this fine world you live in
ReplyDeleteGee I just love sitting in nerve wracking traffic jams, driving thru pot holed streets along with ever increasing Taxes to pay our $100000 goldenboy BOE Atty,yes everything is just lovely
ReplyDeleteBoy everyone is so jealous of the orech din, they can't fargin him making $100,000 a year doing nothing because this township is so fakoked. Let a Yid mach Gelt!!!
