  1. Update: State has to file its response brief and exhibits by July 4. We then can reply and the court will set a date for oral argument. This should go faster than the first round. AL

    I texted a story to a friend yesterday. My father, zichrono livracha, at Shell Oil, had a big argument with the Executive Vice President that ran the company over market value versus long-term stability. Boone Pickens had just raided Gulf Oil, breaking it up, and its assets, including Gulf’s 50-story building downtown were sold.

    Ken Lay was creating Enron out of the Houston natural gas company. Lay surrounded himself with lackeys and kiss-up men and my father did not want to do business with him both times they met. Enron was baloney but in the 1980s no one knew about the fraud that was to come.

    Enron is the Lakewood school district.

    Both had a make-believe financial structures (Lakewood's revenue is by a Ponzi scheme, Enron cooked its books). The BOE and the Enron only cared about surviving year-by-year without taking responsibility for the long-term well-being of its shareholders and stakeholders. Most comparably, the top echelon of both Enron and the district is filled yes-men (district is yes-ladies).

    I always disliked Boone Pickens for his war on the American corporation, but alas, we’re going to take down our district's corporate leadership. The people of Lakewood will no longer endure incompetent administration of a $400 million annual revenue organization with 700 employees and property resources all over town, just so that some gangstelach get this or the ten thousand dollar favor. Dollar dumb and pennies dumb. Like there isn't even an even trade off.

    1. The AG office just asked for a 30 day extension. This is the umpteenth time the State tried to delay. We just consented to 15 days, giving them to July 18. Just one more incompetent and juvenile move out of the state's bottomless hat of dirty tricks.

  2. There's an old joke -- the Knesset can always meet on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, there's always a quorum there. MKs, Ministers, always there, besides diplomats.

  3. Only connection is that had they been involved with ey then perhaps there would have been more agitation against baraks disastrous doctrine

  4. YWN yeshiva untervelt news publishes a anonymous editorial about competing news sites who reported on the Lakewood tragedy. Such Hypocrisy coming from YWN who think they own the News of klal Yisroel. A filthy disgusting nasty website that has been spreading lashon Hora about klal Yisroel and Bizyu talmidei chachomin nombstop, a leading Rosh yeshiva in the US called them mecharcheri Riv
    they are angry that they were upended and scooped by others so they go to their playbook pretending to be holier and care about mental health and victims blah blah
    Protectionism at its best.
    They are trash and gossipy as the NYPrust
    There's nothing Yeshiva about them

  5. Attention sensational frum news media
    You DO NOT control the narrative or have any ownership of the frum community happenings. Your sad attempts to exploit a tragedy is sick and despicable, it makes no difference if you are for publicizing or pretend to be above and holier than that attitude in the name of mental health sensitivity. The last few days showed the fifth and sewage that is spewed daily by the immaturity and quest of superiority for clickbate. The anonymous rabbonim and anonymous daas Torah that you hide behind is laughable and worthless
    You are NOT the responsible adult in the room.
    Same to all those self appointed spokespersons who claim to speak on behalf of the klal using their so called proffesinal title to lecture and exploit an opportunity to further their careers and agendas.
