-Tuesday night, the Jackson Township Council voted to formally settle a lawsuit filed in 2017 by Agudath Israel which claimed that the Council had deliberately passed zoning regulations making it impossible for Orthodox Jews to build schools and dormitories and eruv in a statement Agudah said Significantly, none of the current council members sat on the Council when it was originally sued. Agudath Israel’s New Jersey Office is very grateful to the current council members for their willingness to work together with the community in reaching this favorable result. Agudath Israel is also grateful to Mayor Mike Reina, a longtime partner and friend of the Jackson community, for his support. FAA news points out that actualy Mayor Reina just so happens to be the guy who signed these very same anti-semitic ordinances into law. In fact, this point was highlighted by Agudath Israel in their court filings. More
Something to think about when you vote for Ned..

That is coming from a rabidly pro Schnall site so you should know to take it with a grain of salt . I googled the Asbury Park Press which they claim is is their source. It gives a very different reason for why he isn't running again. https://www.app.com/story/news/local/ocean-county/2023/02/09/why-does-nj-assemblyman-want-to-be-brick-mayor-instead/69886863007/
DeleteActually, maybe you need help with Googling -
Deletetry this article from the APP
https://www.app.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/10/23/brick-mayor-race-election-crate-catalano/71214621007/
Some quotes
"I've been really happy doing the Assembly job," Catalano, 74, said. But, "my heartstrings weren't being pulled upon anymore by Trenton. When you're in the (Republican) minority, and you're trying to do what's right for the people, it's very difficult to get any bills, partisan or nonpartisan,… to a committee or onto the Assembly floor."
"I didn't feel like being in Trenton, I was able to give back to the people. You would want to do something and you'd never see it done."
So twiddle your thumbs & give up
DeleteOR cause the change to happen
Is anyone going to speak about the censorship of all media to any party that runs not approved by the VAAD? What is wrong with having a discussion of ideas? Just making like the other side does not exist is just plain wrong. They dont allow the other side to exist. Nobody allows for Schnalls or other opponent to advertise in most mainstream print or website/social media.
ReplyDeleteThe Va’ad claims that a contentious BOE doesn’t work out well
ReplyDeletePerhaps, for that reason, the Va’ad should bend its interests to that of the ‘Fixing the Formula’ party. Why do they demand others bend over in the name of Achdus? Maybe they should bend over for the Tzibur, just for once?

ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, if by some stretch of the imagination Schnall ends up being the tie - breaking vote there is nothing stopping him from joining the Republicans to vote for vouchers. Being registered as Democrat really doesn't mean anything.
That being said it stretches the imagination that Schnall being in the assembly will magically make vouchers more likely to happen. Their gaslighting in advertising to get everyone to vote for him is quite sad. However I am not sure why Mr. Hefkervelt posts everything ned thompson says as if any of it is a valid concern.
I have no opinion on this particular race but the politics and deceitfulness on both sides must be criticized.
This shcnall campaign seems like aguda pushing themselves into Lakewood after they raitzed uhn the akum in Jackson we don't want them having any control of Lakewood the bnei Torah of Lakewood are opposed to their hashkafos
ReplyDeleteStay out of our lives
CHAS V'SHALOM that Schnall should end up as the tie breaking vote. That would cause both parties to hate us. On a general level after his whole campaign line is that Republicans can't get anything done etc. and unseating a safe Republican seat he is going to have major difficulty working with them. They certainly aren't going to run to put their efforts into supporting some Schnall sponsored legislation. Or anything else that Schnall is heavily identified with.
ReplyDeleteTalking about fixing the formula why isn't there any discussion of why cedar bridge development isn't paying taxes?? It seems even Mr hershkowitz won't discuss the great big elephant in the room..... When The 200 acres were gifted away they are worth approximately $200 million today even without all the development on it it's worth multiples of that if they were just taxed like all of us without tax abatements etc it would take care of much of the formula problem....
ReplyDeleteGet him elected.Then this can be dealt with
DeleteI don't think you can backtrack on a tax abatement.
DeleteThe Democratic Party stands for abortion, LBGTQ, etc. which are all kneged Hashem. Whoever votes for them is anti G-d and whoever does nothing is also anti G-d as it will only strengthen them we need to vote against them as a macha against what they stand for and as showing that we stand for Hashem Yisborach.
ReplyDeleteHow nice! You know everything.
DeleteBut a vote for a candidate isn't a vote for a party. A candidate who is kneged Hashem is one thing. But Schnall is not.
The only LGBTQ that we should be voting for is: Let’s Get Biden To Quit!!!
DeleteA vote for a candidate is a vote for a party. Whatever that candidate may believe if they expect to bring in money by being a member of that party then they aren't free to vote as they please. They need to follow the party line. Otherwise they will be treated like a member of the opposing party
DeleteSo now you are accusing him of taking money from the Democrats.
DeleteContinue with the lies
DeleteThat's what his entire campaign is about
anything else?
Duh
DeleteAsk Murphy & Sweeney
They're rolling with laughter
Which idiot claimed earlier that a vote for Schnall isn't a vote for a party!?
All of a sudden
The adirei hatorah of Lakewood will NOT be voting Democrat for assembly they olam in yeshiva are very upset and feel taken advantage of by the campaign of deception
ReplyDeleteB'H! Don't be fooled the bnei Torah can't be bought off with a nice kollel check. Great to hear the oilam sees through the lies!
DeleteKol hakovod
This town has a herd mentality. This is why this town will overwhelmingly vote for Schnall. The question is will it be enough for him to win. No one out of Lakewood will vote for him. He needs a massive Lakewood turnout to win.
ReplyDeletethat is wrong. in previous elections lakewood did not vote overwhelmingly for the vaad endorsed candidates like murphy, mcgreevey and corzine.
DeleteYou have attitude..... Reality is Lakewood is a town which has the Busiest people in the world Large families working hard we all know we're getting ripped off but we don't have time to deal with it
DeleteVote Hershel for township and Eisenbach Morgenstern Schubert for Boe
ReplyDeleteThompson for assembly
Don't vote for any vaad swamp endorsed candidates
