DaTruthSquad’s 2009 Crystal Ball Predictions

2008 was a very interesting year, so can 2009 top it? Let's have some fun and take out da dusty & rusty & trusty extra-double-magic Crystal Ball, a prognostication tool used to attempt to predict da future, and lets see what it will predict.

Re-org Day will be an extra-special affair. With 3 Democrats, 1 Republican, and whatever Andy Boy is these days, there will certainly be a Township Committee with a Democratic feel. Embedded Cadre sources say da Queen liked being mayor so much, she will be appointed mayor again by a vote of 3-2. At da Queen’s side will be an unhappy Cash Klauber, who will run for reelection as “Deputy Mayor.”

Why will Cash be unhappy? Embedded Cadre sources say he wants to be mayor, but he will have no choice but to bow to da Queen.

As for Township Attorney, da Crystal ball says that honor may go to none other than Manalapan Legal Dream Teamer McCarthy. Immediately there will be Republican backlash, claiming an alleged conflict-of-interest, but that will not deter him from taking da post so generously offered by da Committee.

Lone Committee GOP’er Susan Cohen will be frozen out of any important jobs.

2009 will also be a “Triple Witching” year (Obama is President, Corzine is Governor, and da Queen rules Manalapan). This means your taxes could go up so fast your wallot will leave burn marks as it fires out of your back pocket!

In da spring, da Crystal Ball says da Township Committee will announce a serious budget shortfall, blamed solely on da economy and a lack of funds from Trenton to subsidize da fact Manalapan has no business ratables. Da Queen mayor will allege all Committeepeople on da budget committee to work hard to find ways not to raise taxes – again. Of course, their actions will instead lead to what da Crystal Ball sees as a massive 23% municipal tax hike, blamed on da economy and not anything being done in Manalapan.

Da Crystal Ball also sees Township Committee troubles for Manalapan Police Chief Stuart Brown, who will have to defend himself against new allegations from da Gang of Three. Is it possible da union representing police will get involved? Stay tuned.

In addition to da police, da local volunteer fire department will also be subjected to da Cadre microscope. What is in store for da guys & gals who put out fires & don’t get paid for it? Stay tuned.

Da crystal ball also sees two new lawsuits springing up from incidents involving da Township Committee. One will involve a recently fired long time employee. Da other may be between two private citizens, one of whom during a Township Committee meeting was alleged to claim the plaintiff was something he is not. This person will hire none other than da Mosked Man as his attorney - on a contingency fee basis - much to the ire of da named defendant, and he will also sue da Manalapan Township Committee for allowing the event to happen.

And speaking of lawyers, one under da microscope for alleged legal malpractice (not da Mosked Man) will have a very difficult time holding on to her State Assembly seat, eventually losing it to a female Democrat known very well to Manalapan residents.

Da Manalapan Republicans will yet again run a divided primary against da grand Poobah, who will run a woman well-known to many GOP’ers as this year’s candidate against da “renegade Republican” in da primary. Da difference between 2008 & 2009 is - this time da "renegade" will be victorious by a very slim margin.

Another no-confidence vote will be taken against Steve “Iron Girth” McEnery. This time, da crystal ball says he will come up 3 votes short and lose his chairmanship, which will be taken over, although da Crystal Ball is cloudy, by a current or former Republican Club officer.

Da crystal ball also sees, during da year, calls for one of da Manalapan Township Committeepeople to resign to actions they allegedly took in da past which has been deemed by da public as a violation of da rules of conduct. This committeeperson will refuse to resign, and da opposing political party will use that during da election process.

Da Queen mayor will be tabbed to run for State Assembly. She will be on a ticket with former Assemblyman Mike Panter. Late during da election, allegations will surface which will lead to a split victory in November, with both Panter & da woman who replaces Carolina MachoGrande elected. Da Queen will lose by 7,000 votes, and lose Manalapan in da process.

Also, da Crystal ball also sees da Queen Mayor ordering da arrest of a person during a Manalapan Township meeting, claiming that person was being "disruptive."

Da crystal ball also sees a raid of a local government office, with agents seizing records of two separate situations, including one which involves a legal case.

Finally, as many TruthTellers have asked, what will happen with da now-infamous "Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" lawsuit? According to da dusty, trusty Crystal Ball, da case will not end this year. It will not be until late in da year that even depositions will happen - this after a judge approves a wider-ranging probe of da crux of da lawsuit. Da Mosked man will be handing out subpoenas like they were candy on Halloween, and will include at least 2 former mayors, all members of da Township Committee, at least 2 former members of da Township Committee, and also 2 former Manalapan Township attorneys. Depositions will run well into 2010, which will be for another Crystal Ball.

Accordingly, 2009 will set a record for OPRA requests in Manalapan - topping da record set in 2008. More and more, TruthTellers want to know da real truth about what is happening in their kingdom.

DaTruthSquad wishes you a Happy & Healthy 2009.

Da Ultimate Fighting Championships Manalapan Style - A Manalapan Township Meeting!

Sitting in da Manalapan Township arena and watching da events unfurl during da last Manalapan Township Committee meeting on December 17, one might think instead of a town meeting where so-called professionals conduct business we were all instead at a wrestling event or Ultimate Fighting steel cage match.

Da meeting was quite normal, that is, until da peasants of Manalapan were allowed to speak to da grand-high-exalted-mystic Township Committee leadership. That's when a disclaimer should have been read, saying, in part, "Those who bow before us must wear body armor and a helmet, because da verbal assaults we will levy at 'ye' may inflict serious pain & damage."

One woman came up, and when she asked her questions of Manalapan's elected power brokers, many simply went unanswered with blank stares.

Another woman stepped forward into da steel cage of death. She asked a simple question as to what volunteer committee she would be able to join? She wanted to volunteer to help da town. Instead of an answer, she heard da sound of crickets.

That same woman then asked a question about lawsuit billing in da Mosked Man case. On that one, she did receive an answer from da Queen of Mean. Fortunately for that woman, who did not wear her Kevlar vest nor matching face protector, she wasn't boiled in oil or led into da stocks for public humiliation. Since apparently those items were not in da budget, she was instead humiliated by da Queen of Mean herself!

"It's getting to be a little comical with you," da Queen of Mean said to this innocent woman who's crime was she merely asked a question of a township official. Da Queen of Mean then said, "We have been very patient with you all year."

"It's getting to be a little comical with you?" "We have been very patient with you all year?" Nice to see Manalapan residents are shown da utmost respect by elected town officials!

Da good news is, da Township did not start deportation to Middlesex County proceedings. Da bad news, of course, it didn't end there.

Da next contestant into da squared circle of death brought with him evidence of a letter signed by alleged Republican and/or Democrat & alleged Manalapan and/or Freehold resident Andy Boy, which said he would resign if he violated ethics, especially knowingly discussing topics from the dredded Executive Session. Da contestant alleged that very thing, saying, "(Andy Boy) provided info from executive session considered privileged info. At meetings he and former committeeman Joltin Joe talked about meetings, including executive session." That, da contestant said, violated da Manalapan Oath of Confidentiality, which Andy Boy allegedly signed. Those statements were backed up by Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen.

Andy Boy's reply was - what about those who haven't signed it? Apparently he's read da Cadre's book, "Deflect & Accuse."

Ironically, that is da very same situation that "drew" both rebuke and censure from da Gang of Three. One can only surmise that violations of Executive Session are only violations when they pertain to da Mosked Man law case, or people other than da Gang of Three.

Which, of course, brings us to da now-infamous "Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" legal case heard 'round da world, because knowing all they'll hear is da lovely sound of crickets, you know somebody was going to bring it up.

When the contestant in da steel cage match asked about the bills, a snippy sounding Queen of Mean said bluntly, "You're complaining about a bill because Mr. Moskovitz started a lawsuit."

"You're complaining about a bill because Mr. Moskovitz started a lawsuit???????"

Yes, you heard that right -- according to da Queen of Mean, she said for all to hear that it was da Mosked Man who started da lawsuit!

Now, da last time daTruthSquad checked, it was "Da Township of Manalapan" who, as plaintiff, brought da case, against "Da Mosked Man," who is da defendant, meaning - not da person who brought da lawsuit. Did da Queen of Mean suddenly leave da same planet we're all paying taxes on and land in some parallel alternate universe?

Apparently, if da Queen of mean is correct, da local Snoozepaper has been wrong all along. How could Back Page Barratta miss that headline?

Of course, da meeting on da mysterious planet Queenie didn't end there.

Another person came up, this time da head of da GOP'ers club. He had a few questions for alleged Republican and/or Democrat & alleged Manalapan and/or Freehold resident Andy Boy. Andy Boy, who has known this individual for years, then proceeded to mispronounce da citizen's last name, calling da citizen, in effect, a bathroom fixture.

Apparently both facts and respect for citizens have no place in Township meetings.

Da final person to come up was, in fact, best prepared to fight his way out of da Extreme Insult Cage Match, bringing with him a shovel, scissors da size of garden shears, and a list of things to say, showing out of all da citizens who stepped into da steel cage of death, he was da only one properly prepared for an Ultimate Fighting Cage Match to ensue. What he didn't bring was a timer because he spoke for over 10 minutes, and a lawyer because he may need one for guidance.

This last speaker/fighter harkened us all back to da days before a certain resident moved into Manalapan, proving it's AOK in da Queen's court to insult and ridicule any resident of your choosing - that is - as long as they're not members of da Cadre - and then set his sights on da person alleged Republican and/or Democrat & alleged Manalapan and/or Freehold resident Andy Boy has a problem pronouncing his name. That citizen was called a plagiarist, alluding to a letter to da Snoozer editor penned by da citizen. He then said about da person Committeeman Andy Boy confused with a bathroom fixture, "He plagiarized Mr. Lucas letter as his own. He lied to da News Transcript. He cannot be trusted."

Now, in his defense, this last speaker did not yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, and he did not break any existing laws. He did, however, claim that a well-known Manalapan resident and business person and community leader committed "plagiarism," "lied" to a newspaper, and "cannot be trusted." DaTruthSquad contacted a legal eagle about this for guidance, and was told, "Da target of these criticisms could potentially have a legal case, but would in fact have to prove damages from da alleged statements. If da Township facilitated da matter in any way or did nothing to distance themselves from what was said, they could possibly be attached, but that would be a decision for a judge."

Now, daTruthSquad cannot and will not hand out free legal advice, but in this case, if that citizen has questions they should consult a qualified attorney, but make sure if a case does commence it's done on a contingency fee, because as we all learned in November, 2007 from a former Manalapan Township attorney, "There's nobody more determined than a lawyer working on a contingency fee."

DaTruth is, not only did not one member of da Manalapan Township Committee say anything during this situation, nor with any of da other 8 citizens singled out for complaints, but da Queen of Mean threatened to have anyone disturbing da speaker removed from da room! How can any resident feel easy about walking into da steel cage match that awaits them, simply to talk and ask questions of a mayor and alleged town leaders?

And, if you expect 2009 to be any different - think again. DaTruthSquad's embedded Cadre sources have learned that da Queen of Mean has enjoyed her time on da throne, so much so, she may feel "entitled" to another term as supreme ruler of Manalapan. It is very possible that da Queen will again be mayor in 2009, no matter if Cash Klauber, up for reelection, wants it or not. Stay tuned for an upcoming daTruthSquad for more details on this.

If there is a silver lining here, it's that daTruthSquad through embedded Township sources that there have been more OPRA requests for information about situations regarding Manalapan government than ever before! This means da peasants aren't sitting around believing everything they hear from these career politicians. They are instead investigating for themselves. And, maybe all of these brave patriots who stand in da squared circle of death facing da Queen of Mean and her court jesters are getting under their skin enough to have them say such things as "It's getting to be a little comical with you," and "We have been very patient with you all year," and comparing your name to a bathroom fixture.

Due to da hard work of Manalapan's TruthTeller's, it seems that maybe, just maybe, these career politicians won't be able to get away with everything. And, be a TruthTeller and keep asking questions during meetings. Those who hide in corners and lurk in shadows don't like anyone to shine a light on their activities.

And that's daTruth.

The Epitome Of A Public Servant

When Mr. Anthony Gennaro first became a Manalapan Township Committeeman, this blog nicknamed him “Jack of Clubs,” believing he would be a Queen clone. With complete surprise, but for all da right reasons, that perception changed within 3 months in office.

Manalapan residents realized exactly what they had in Mr. Gennaro shortly after Sir Lawrence of Manalapan stood up and proudly proclaimed “BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS” in a response to a question from an Italian-American committeeman.

Remember, it was daTruthSquad that first sounded da alarm about what was said, who said it, and how it was said which ultimately led to mass protests and an onslaught by da news media demanding answers.

DaTruthSquad learned soon after from embedded Cadre sources that Mr. Gennaro was thrust squarely into da middle of that fiasco by da Queen, Sir Larry, and da Cadre leadership. They reportedly, without any remorse or regret, demanded Mr. Gennaro stand by da Queen & Sir Larry, despite of what was said, because of politics.

Then came da news media interviews by da Queen, which were more reminiscent of a Sarah Palin interview with Katy Couric. Da Queen, instead of showing remorse and apologizing for her husband, instead blamed an Irishman for her husband saying “BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS.” Gennaro apparently realized what he had gotten himself into with da Queen and her cadre. He had a choice – kick his integrity to da curb and stand with someone who mocked his heritage, or tell a longtime friend they should atone for their sins or risk losing his friendship – or far worse, paint a bullseye on his back and become da target of their venom.

Even though they were longtime friends, what they didn’t know about Mr. Gennaro after all those years is he has more integrity than any of them realized, and instead of politics, he put da people first.

His decision came during da most attended Manalapan Township meeting in history. With TV news crews, newspapers, and radio newspeople in attendance and cameras rolling, and a standing room only crowd and hundreds more outside da building, Mr. Gennaro chose his integrity & heritage and turned his back on da Cadre – which had already turned their backs on him, resigning from da Manalapan Democratic Party.

His decision was “da shot heard ‘round Manalapan.” It showed he had more integrity than da entire committee combined. And, while it made him an enemy of da Queen and her Cadre, it made him a hero to anyone who believed a political representative could not turn their back on backroom deals - because he stood up "For All Da People."

For da next 2 years, Mr. Gennaro didn’t do what was right for a political party or for a backroom deal. Instead, he voted with his conscience, acted as a professional, served his office with dignity not seen in Manalapan Town Hall in a very long time, and became an example of how someone serving in a political office should handle themselves.

Gennaro ran under a banner of “For All da People” when he ran for office in 2005. While his running mate, da Queen, used that slogan as a punchline, Mr. Gennaro tirelessly worked “For All da People.”

He crossed party lines when he believed it was in da best interest of da people of Manalapan. He was outraged over tax increases that were too high and worked & voted for lower taxes, and stood up against what he believed was corruption in Town Hall, knowing full well that vile and repugnant retribution against him would certainly follow.

However, Mr. Gennaro didn’t care about the politics, or the retribution that would certainly follow no matter how sick, twisted, and vile it would get. He cared about the townspeople.

When Gennaro & Susan Cohen went to da judge in da Mosked Man case, he didn’t do it because he wanted his name in da newspaper. He did it because he believed a serious wrong was being committed – not against da Mosked Manbut against all da people of Manalapan. It’s obvious Gennaro knew ihis actions would infuriate people like da Queen, Andy Boy, and Cash Klauber, but he didn’t care about their anger – he cared about da use of da people’s tax money in what has obviously become a political vendetta and anti-First Amendment lawsuit.

When an obviously planned “censure” motion was brought forth, Mr. Gennaro proved beyond a doubt he would not yield to corruption. He told da Gang of Three “Do whatever you want,” when da vote was to happen. He proved he was doing what da people, and not da political stringpullers, wanted him to do – and he proved he was above da sniping and shameful display of da Gang of Three.

Mr. Gennaro was also truthful. When he was asked, he told people on da record he was not being given information that other Township Committeepeople were privy to. He even said on more than one occasion he had to get information about da Mosked Man lawsuit from this blog because important township details were being hidden from him!

Da fact this blog was a source of information for Mr. Gennaro, and other politicians, news people, and other people & professionals, because of this blog’s embedded Town Hall sources, proves beyond a doubt there’s something very wrong with da way Manalapan’s Queen & Crown Prince are running things.

Mr. Anthony Gennaro spent 3 years dealing with abuse from people who wouldn’t know character, honor, and integrity if they were rapped over da snout with it. He proved to be da type of public servant we all need. He cares for his townspeople, and it showed. He was professional in every detail and aspect.

What not many people know about Mr. Gennaro balanced his duty to his town with da duty he has to his family. His father, a great man, has been ill for years and Mr. Gennaro has been da type of son any father would be proud to have. Taking care of his family was balanced with attending meetings, working on budgets, and making sure that he did what he felt was in da best interest of Manalapan residents. Mr. Gennaro should be da blueprint that anyone seeking office should follow. He proved he is a man of his word, with convictions and beliefs that specify that as an elected official, it was his duty to represent "All da People," no matter what.

Mr. Gennaro, on behalf of da TruthTellers, daTruthSquad wants to thank you for your dedication to “All da People” during your term in office. You handled yourself with grace under pressure, you were 110% fair and 110% working for all da people. It has been a long time that an elected representative was someone you could tell your children to be like. That person is you, Mr. Gennaro.

Your service to Manalapan will be missed greatly due to your diligence, integrity, and ability to do what is right for da public you served with honor and distinction.

Thank you, Mr. Gennaro, for being the kind of representative we can all be proud of. And that is daTruth.

With humble regard,

daTruthSquad.

Is a Manalapan Dream Team Lawyer Working For Free?

Thanks to da old phrase, "Step 1 - Take Foot & Step 2 - Insert Foot in Mouth," there are even more twists and turns in da ongoing saga of “Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man” taxpayer funded lawsuit. Da latest twist came out of a random series of events that alone, would have gone completely unnoticed. However, thanks to a surprising TruthTeller who was trying to make a point in favor of da Gang of Three’s agenda, it now may have thrust Committeeman Cash Klauber directly into da crosshairs of da lawsuit – and at da same time, squarely put his own integrity on da line!

It happened in da first December Manalapan Township Committee meeting. A citizen went before da committee for their 5 to 18 minutes of fame, and brought up da question of how much da lawsuit has cost.

That question brought up a volley of responses, first by Cash Klauber, who claimed on da record that da town has only spent $6,000 of taxpayer money on da case – specifically, for an “expert” witness. Cash sounded very sure of himself, and nobody should immediately jump to any conclusions that he was making a false statement, since he did sound that sure of that figure, almost like he was told that, or at least that's the impression it gave.

Let’s first examine that Cash claim.

Now, personally, I’d love to believe Cash and take his statement for daTruth. However, da last time something like that happened, a soldier kneeling next to General George Custer said to him, “Look, over da ridge – I think they’re friendly Indians.”

FACT: da “expert” witness in this case has been identified as Robert Renaud, who, according to Snoozer editor Mark Rosman in da now-infamous “Rosman Editorial,” which became evidence in da even more-infamous legal case, has been paid approximately $6,400 at $350 per hour for his “expert” testimony.

CASH-ISM – if Cash is accurate, then it must be surmised that another Manalapan Legal Dream Team member, attorney McCarthy, has done a ton of legal work for absolutely no pay whatsoever!

According to evidence compiled by daTruthSquad, one can only surmise that Mr. McCarthy submitted to da court a 29-page “Legal Certification” THAT WAS COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE TO MANALAPAN & ITS TAXPAYERS.

McCarthy said in his allegedly 29-page “free” certification, “By letter dated July 13, 2007, I advised defendant that my firm was Special Counsel to da Township in this matter and that we would reply to his demand for indemnification. I further requested that Defendant communicate directly with my office regarding matters pertaining to this action …”

So, according to Cash’s statement, McCarthy wrote this 29-page Certification, and ordered da Mosked Man to communicate with “his office,” at any time, and he would not charge a dime for his services & time?

Da Legal Value MenuSince apparently Mr. McCarthy had free time and apparently according to Cash's statement apparently not in the charging mood, on December 21, 2007, why was he in court speaking on behalf of Manalapan to da judge in da case against daTruthSquad, when McCarthy alleged in his legal filings that da Mosked Man was daTruthSquad?

Da certification clearly came from McCarthy's firm - and not da contingent fee-based Weeks form, so, either Mr. McCarthy is doing a ton of legal work for absolutely no pay, as Cash alleged since only da “expert” was paid, according to Cash, or there’s a serious problem with his statement that may warrant an investigation.

Now, one might find this surprising, but daTruthSquad actually has respect for Cash Klauber - and a little sympathy too since any aspirations by Cash becoming Mayor of Manalapan in 2009 are about as thin as a receding hairline. DaTruthSquad would like to believe that Cash merely did not have all da facts at his disposal when he said that da case of “da Township of Manalapan vs da Mosked Man” has only cost $6,000 over da past 2 years. So, lets, for da sake of argument, take Cash at his word again.

First – If Cash is correct, and Township taxpayers have only paid for an “expert,” then there should be absolutely no payments made to Mr. McCarthy for his 29-page “Certification,” nor for his appearances at any of da courtrooms during da case. A completely transparent outside forensic audit of all payments made to McCarthy over da past 3 years should commence immediately to prove that either Mr. McCarthy is working out of da kindness of his heart, or Cash’s statement may have been in serious error.

Second – This situation alone should negate any possibility of Mr. McCarthy or anyone from his firm becoming Township attorney, specifically due to what can be perceived as a conflict.

ThirdDa Rosman Editorial stated that “victories (against Moskovitz) come with a price of keeping MachoGrande, Renaud, McCarthy, and Weeks working and da meter still running.” This means either Cash is right and Rosman was 100% wrong, or Rosman was right and Cash has been given wrong information – and if that is da case – who gave Cash that alleged wrong info?

DaTruth is, there has been a concerted effort to not let anyone know exactly how much this case against da Mosked man has cost from da very beginning. It was Andy Boy in 2007 who said and was quoted as saying da case has cost taxpayers, "over $100,000!" DaTruthSquad may not be "Mr. Wizard" when it comes to math, but any 2 year old will tell you there's a big difference between "$6,000" and "over $100,000."

When Carolina MachoGrande wasn't calling anonymous bloggers "Bomb Throwers," she also is quoted as saying this case wasn't costing any money, since da lawyer was on a contingency fee. This means that same lawyer must not have charged for anything as of yet, because all da money according to Cash has gone to da "expert."

DaTruth is, thanks for all this info cannot be given to daTruthSquad. Thanks to TruthTellers like former mayor Spodak, who continues to bring up this case on a regular basis, questions continue to rise due to da statements made by Manalapan Township Committeepeople.

DaTruth is, it’s also another reason that outside investigators are needed to sort out whether or not this is an actual legal case or a vindictive lawsuit funded by taxpayers whether they like it or not.

And that’s daTruth.

EXPOSED! Now There’s 2 Former Manalapan Township Attorneys Being Sued For Malpractice!!!

Da local Snoozepaper has not dared print this – maybe because of da uproar it could cause a certain member of da Manalapan Township Committee. So, daTruthSquad will.

However, in defense of da local Snoozepaper, this actual real legal case has been kept hidden, for obvious reasons and it's quite possible they didn't even know about it.

It’s an actual case of legal malpractice being alleged – and taxpayers are not footing da bill! It involves a law firm tied to da Monmouth GOP, and a lawyer known very well to da fine folks of Manalapan. Da difference between da case against da Mosked Man and da one against ---- drumroll please ---- Carolina MachoGrande --- is da one against her is not politically motivated, this is a very real case, and it places da Manalapan Township Committee in da crosshairs of a very ethical dilemma - approving da hiring of a township attorney with a legal malpractice case hanging over her head!

Here’s da story.

On May 1, 2002, Carol Carpenter, a 56-year-old woman with diabetes, kidney disease, heart problems and gangrene in her toes was riding in a county medical transportation bus. She was going to a dialysis session when she fell out of her wheelchair and broke her right leg. Two weeks after da accident, injuries sustained in da crash forced doctors to amputate her leg.

Carpenter sued, retaining da Ocean County law firm of Ansell, Zaro, Grimm & Aaron. Representing as da defense in da case was da firm of Cleary Alfieri& Jones. They handed da case to one of their attorneys on staff, a young woman named Carolina MachoGrande.

You may remember that name - she's also da one that compared bloggers and commenters to "anonymous bomb throwers" when Manalapan sued USING TAXPAYER MONEY in 2007 to turn da First Amendment into toilet paper!

In a story not in da Snoozepaper, da story appeared in da undisputable New Jersey Law Journal, North River Insurance Company’s malpractice expert, Robert McAndrew minces no words describing da way MachoGrande handled da case.

A review of the Cleary file indicates that none of the attorneys who handled the case were in the least familiar with the duties of defense counsel, or even the rudiments of litigation practice," McAndrew said. As an associate with one year of experience, Casagrande should have received close supervision, but didn't, and her memos showed she wasn't well versed in the facts, McAndrew said. She suggested the case was worth $100,000 but didn't say why, according to McAndrew. "A look at her analysis of the damages issue also reveals that she had totally missed the point," he added. She focused on whether the injuries led to the amputation, he said. The real issues were whether Carpenter's pre-existing condition put her at risk for losing her leg and the extent of her pre-accident disabilities, he said.”

Yes, before you ask, this is da very same Carolina MachoGrande who, in 2007, was handpicked by alleged Manalapan/and or Freehold resident Committeeman Andy Boy as da person most qualified to be Manalapan Township Attorney.

Monmouth County settled da case for $450,000, but because that figure exceeded da monetary threshold, da insurance company was on da hook, and they obviously weren’t happy.

As da New Jersey Law Journal clearly states in their blockbuster story:

"A review of the Cleary file indicates that none of the attorneys who handled the case were in the least familiar with the duties of defense counsel, or even the rudiments of litigation practice," McAndrew said.

"Casagrande should have received close supervision, but didn't, and her memos showed she wasn't well versed in the facts, McAndrew said. She suggested the case was worth $100,000 but didn't say why, according to McAndrew."

"A look at her analysis of the damages issue also reveals that she had totally missed the point,"


Now, in Manalapan, you would think that legal malpractice cases grow on trees. That’s not daTruth. It is very rare a legal malpractice case is raised, and even more rare an insurance company brings it against a major firm like da one MachoGrande used to work for – and you know they wouldn’t do it if they thought they had a weak case.

Da insurance company is suing because they feel, in a nutshell, they got poor performance from da attorneys (including MachoGrande) involved. Da problem for some politicians, and those include in Manalapan, is they’re also asking questions that, if da judge allows to be asked, could potentially blow da lid off how politicians and politically connected law firms got involved in this.

Da insurance firm wants to know if MachoGrande’s former law firm obtained da work through political connections? They also want to know if her former firm was incapable of doing the work, or worse, unwilling to do a good job because it was getting a flat rate?

Now, you may be asking, “Does this amount to a hill of Greg Beans to Manalapan?"

OK, follow da bouncing corruption ball.

Bounce: Da firm’s lead lawyer, Cleary, was da council for da WMUA – da very same WMUA that allows Manalapan residents to flush their toilets - and, by da way, under fire for that $165,000 health & benefits package he received that YOU ARE PAYING FOR WITH TAXPAYER MONEY!.

Bounce: Why did Andy Boy believe an attorney (MachoGrande) with no experience in being a township attorney would do da best job? Could it be because she was a fundraiser for his failed Freeloader campaign?

Bounce: When Adam PuPu needed a job after he was “Hatch-ed,” where did he wind up? Working for da firm run by da father of Carolina MachoGrande.

Bounce: In da “vetting” process for Manalapan Township attorney, why was this case not brought up by Andy Boy? How could he have not known since it was Andy Boy who backed MachoGrande? Why in da world would da Queen rubber-stamp this? Did she ask da important questions during da vetting process, like “Hey, you aren’t being sued for legal malpractice, are you?”

Bounce: MachoGrande worked on this case in 2004 – more than 2 years before she was handpicked by Andy Boy to be Manalapan Township attorney!

Bounce: Could da Queen & Andy Boy have conveniently “missed” da fact their hand-picked choice for Township Attorney could have had a legal malpractice issue hanging over her? If there wasn’t a “vetting” process, was this part of a “back-room” deal?

Bounce: Did anyone in a political position (party boss, etc) put up Andy Boy to get her to become Township Attorney of Manalapan?

Bounce: Wasn’t da WMUA raided during this timeline by da FBI for corruption?

Bounce: Why was da MachoGrande legal malpractice case and all of this information hidden from Manalapan?


OK, if you’re tired of “Bouncing,” daTruth is this is just another reason investigators need to swarm into Manalapan like locusts to a cotton field. This story could very well be da lynchpin as to why Carolina MachoGrande was hired to be Manalapan Township attorney – and it all leads back to Andy Boy – who remains a DEFENDANT in da case of “Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man.” In fact, he is so intertwined in that case that a judge has ordered him not to participate in any votes in town regarding that case!

Now, this begs a very important question or 2 or more – All of this information about MachoGrande’s was hidden from view. Why? Is MachoGrande still a practicing lawyer? Why was she hired by a politically connected firm during da time this fiasco went down – during her run for da State Assembly? Why has no former mayor in Manalapan asked that of their former mayor colleague Andy Boy? Why has not da local Snoozepaper even once reported on this story? Is it because da Mosked Man isn’t involved in it?

DaTruth is, this could quite possibly be a serious ethical violation – an elected official walking through & hiring a lawyer who was about to face a serious allegation and serious situation – a legal malpractice case – who apparently lacked da proper experience – and da same person who was a fundraiser for that same elected official! How serious is this situation – former Mayor George Spodak recently went before da Manalapan Township Committee to ask that Manalapan no longer do any business with Englishtown that is connected to da Mosked Man – because da Mosked Man is being sued for legal malpractice!

DaTruthSquad encourages all da TruthTellers, including honorary TruthTeller Spodak to demand that da Manalapan Township Committee seek a formal investigation by da state Attorney General into da actions of how Carolina MachoGrande was brought in as Township Attorney carrying more baggage than is handled at Newark Airpirt in a year!

DaTruth is, it’s not a news item everytime da Mosked Man flushes his toilet (although a certain Snoozer may disagree), or a cat gets stuck in a tree, or da Queen Mayor calls for a story to be done to enhance her portfolio. Hiring an attorney with a limited background, facing a potential legal malpractice case at da time, who claimed to not have anything to do with da Manalapan Legal Dream Team yet, according to da Snoozepaper’s famous “Rosman Editorial” was being paid by da hour, and it is still not known exactly how much MachoGrande billed for that legal case or for all da alleged work she performed in 2007 --- NOW THAT’S SOMETHING DA LOCAL SNOOZEPAPER SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO!

And, if not them - da STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR DA FEDS!

And that’s daTruth.

DaTruthSquad's Gobble-Gobble Awards



There are times daTruthSquad wants to bring back da "BaconHead" awards, which became a symbol of abuse of power and everything wrong with politics and politicians. It indeed may make a comeback, as so many TruthTellers have been asking about them. Before da year is out, don't be too surprised to see a "2008 BaconHead Award" winner, and also da "2008 TruthTeller of da Year" award will be handed out.

You can nominate for both in the comment section at any time, and your votes will be counted!

Now, for da First Annual 2008 Gobble-Gobble Awards, for da moves most reminiscent of being a turkey:

Manalapan News Coverage of 2008: Cathy Barratta - Local Snoozepaper!

One has to admit her coverage is second to none, because as many TruthTellers have said, nobody's coverage of Manalapan could be any worse when it comes to certain issues. When a former Manalapan mayor speaking from anywhere between 5-15 minutes during those 5 minute public sessions can get so much time on Page 1 of da Snoozer in a given year, then he either has one heck of a public relations person, or da Manalapan Township Committee on its own couldn't make news if it showed up for a meeting naked. One could speculate her news motto could potentially be -- "If da Mosked Man is not yet done, stick former mayor Spodak on Page One!"

Following da Judge's Order to a 'T' Award: Alleged Manalapan/and or Freehold resident Committeeman Andy Boy!

Right after da judge tells him he must not participate in votes relating to da Mosked Man case, he motions to have fellow GOP'er Susan Cohen and Mr. Anthony Gennaro censured. So you know, that censure motion and vote was in direct relation to da Mosked Man case.

Da "Say To Da Blind Man - I See Your Point" Award: Andy Boy, Cash Klauber, and da Queen!

Not only did they vote to censure Susan Cohen, but they did so when she wasn't even there to defend herself! She was reportedly hospitalized at da time and recuperating from alleged heart issues. One must theorize that buying a dog and then kicking it after you didn't feed it for a week it wasn't in da budget.

Da "Recession - We No Need No Stinkin' Recession" Award: Da Manalapan Township Committee!

In these hard economic times when 401k's are now worth 201k's and Manalapan foreclosures are at an all-time high, da Queen and her followers vote to buy a piece of land for almost 2 times it's value, bond for it making it cost even more, and then find out there may be environmental issues attached to it. Oh, and did daTruthSquad mention they have no actual plan in place for what they really want to do with da land?

Da "Trust Us - We Know How To Handle YOUR Money" Award: Manalapan Mayors Roth & Lucas!

Let's see....Raise taxes about 28% in one year, then the very next year raise them again by 14% with no increase in services or quality of life? And you thought the price of a barrel of oil at $140 was high.

Da 2008 Manalapan Legal Dream Team Lawyer of da Year: Carolina MachoGrande!

A blockbuster upcoming edition of daTruthSquad will have more on Macho's Grande newest problem. Stay tuned.

Da 2008 Manalapan Legal case going nowhere award: Coming Soon!!!!!!

Hint - It's not da case you think, but it could very well lead to others.

Da "I'm a leader but I damn well wish someone would follow me" award: Steve "Iron Girth" McEnery

He wins a confidence vote by a single vote. Enough said.

Da Worst Political Strategist of 2008: Steve "Iron Girth" McEnery

McCain/Palin win Manalapan. Zimmer beats Lautenberg in Manalapan. And da Queen carrying more baggage than Samsonite and American Tourister can make in 40 years combined take down da Iron Girth-led disciples Green & Garcia. There were actually times you had to scratch your head during da campaign and wonder who da Girth-meister really wanted to have win that election considering da kind of campaign he was responsible for.

Da 2008 version of da "Nuclear Family" award: Andy Boy

Last year, he got married but apparently after da wedding lived with his parents for months while his new blushing bride lived in neighboring Freehold to be closer to her job while he was running for political office. Now, it appears they all live in some form or another in Andy Boy's parent's house, which is now his house by deed, which begs da question - who gets da master bedroom?

Da 2008 "picture's still on da milk carton" award: Sir Lawrence of Manalapan

There was a time you'd see Sir Larry at da Queen's side (we're not going any further with that). But since he uttered da now-infamous words, "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS" - da only place you expect to see Sir Larry is on da side of a milk carton with da caption, "Have You Seen This Man?"

Da best TV show in Manalapan for 2009: OPRA

No, not "Oprah" as in Oprah Winfrey, but Opra, as in Open Public Records Act. Following daTruthSquad's order, it seems that there are OPRA requests being made in Manalapan Town Hall. However, that shouldn't stop anyone from making their own or others. Da more questions you raise, da less they will be able to hide da answers, and since da local Snoozepaper is either unwilling or cannot ask da real questions, da old rule applies -- If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

DaTruth is, an OPRA request is easy to start. I urge all da TruthTellers to investigate something if they feel that a wrong has been committed by career politicians. Investigations into da likes of INMATE JOHN LYNCH & DA CONVICTED FELONS SHARPE JAMES & WAYNE BRYANT all began when someone decided it was time to investigate what they perceived was wrongdoing - after public citizens blew da whistle and folks like Chris Christie heard that whistle.

In Monmouth County, that whistle has blown enough that political cronyism has taken GOP'ers out of power on da county level. Losses like da one Andy Boy suffered for Freeloader was da opening salvo in da Democratic takeover and ouster of political cronyism. Da louder you blow da whistle, da more people will hear it.

And that's daTruth.

Unity? We No Need No Stinkin' Unity!

Either this is a case of "This is your brain - this is your brain on drugs," early alzheimers, or more games played by someone desperately holding onto a shread of power.

Recently, daTruthSquad was forwarded by one of da Manalapan TruthTellers an email sent by da Manalapan GOP's Grand High Exaulted Mystic Ruler, da Grand Poobah, Steve "Iron Girth" McEnery. It told of a "Unity Dinner" to be held at a fancy-shmancy restaurant on da evening of December 9.

Da invitation said "I received a lot of interest in a Holiday unity party." It also said it was booked for "December 9th." And, hold onto your oxygen masks -- said da Poobah "will pick up the tax and gratuity." It closed by saying "Maybe we can put the in-fighting behind us and move forward with a better attitude for next year."

Sounds like a great idea. Get da GOP'ers together, eat some nice food, drink some nice drinks, pat one another on da back.

Only 1 small, minor detail missed by da Poobah --- that night his very own Manalapan Republican Club has an already pre-planned joint venture on da books for that very same evening!

Even worse, it appears da Manalapan Republican Club, led by da Poobah's arch-enemy Butch Budai announced via email their event -- 4 days before da Poobah said he would pick up da tax & gratuity for his "Unity" party!

How could da Poobah have made that mistake?

Did he not know what his own Manalapan Republican Club was planning?

Did he not check with any leader of da Manalapan Republican Club?

Did he come home too late from da Queen's election victory party to notice
?


If this doesn't smell of "hidden agenda," then nothing does.

Both GOP'er websites had da info. Here's da Marlboro GOP invite - which one would think da Poobah must have known about.

Now, this blog has been very outspoken about da need for change within da Manalapan GOP, which has consistently lost election after election with da Poobah running da show. Entering 2009, da Manalapan Township Committee will consist of 3 Democrats, 1 actual GOP'er, and whatever Andy Boy is. Even if da GOP wins da 2009 election, and if da Poobah is running things they have as much of a chance of winning than a 1-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, they still won't have a majority (2 Democrats, 2 GOP'ers, and whatever Andy Boy is).

Now, it would not be possible for da Manalapan Republican Club to move their event, since it's being held with da Marlboro Republican Club, and has a number of guests & companies & speakers attending. It would, however be easier for da Poobah's Posse to move their "Unity Dinner" to another night.

Here's what daTruthSquad expects da Poobah to do:

In da name of "unity,' da Poobah should immediately announce he will move da "Unity Dinner" into January, and - in conjunction with da Manalapan Republican Club - make it da very same night of da 1st Manalapan Republican Club meeting. This way everyone has a good time, and you might actually see some unity there. Whatever day he picks - he should do it this time with da approval of da Club and not what he arbitrarily as Poobah decides to do.

If da Poobah decides to hold a dinner for himself, Andy, 2 or 3 little minions, and maybe da Queen & Sir Lawrence of Manalapan with guest speaker former Mayor Spodak discussing corruption and how to root it out, then it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he is unfit to hold that office, and he should be asked to step down. If asked and he refuses, then County GOP Commander "Da Ox" should be brought in and demand immediate restructuring of da Manalapan GOP, which should include da ouster of da Poobah from power, and demanding Andy Boy admit his actual party affiliation, because watching his antics at da Manalapan Township meetings, even daTruthSquad can easily figure out he's not acting in da best interest of da GOP'ers, and he's not even acting like an Independent.

DaTruth is, daTruthSquad has called for on 2 other occasion for da Poobah to step down and relinquish his strangehold on power. This is just another instance of dividing his party even further, and if he does not want to heed this blog's call, then it's up to Manalapan's GOP'ers to demand it - or have Da Ox step in to take control over what has become an out-of-control party leadership.

Anyone who knows da Manalapan Republicans know they have enough very competant footsoldiers. What they don't have is a Municipal Chairman who is working "For All da GOP'ers."

What they have now is 2 Republican parties - one led by da Manalapan Republican Club, led by Butch Budai, and da other led by da Poobah and alleged GOP'er Andy Boy. In a town where registered Democrats outnumber registered GOP'ers 2-1, you can't have a GOP splintered by arrogance & ego leaving their footsoldiers on da sidelines and allowing victory after victory by Democrats, da supposed alleged enemy of da GOP.

If da Poobah does not change da date and ring da dinner bell on another night, then it's time da Club & da Ox lead da Poobah out to pasture.

And that's daTruth.

Manalapan Ex-Mayor Exposes More Problems for da Queen - Opens Pandora's Box Further

There are a lot of people who may disagree with da tactics and execution of former Manalapan Mayor George "Porky" Spodak, but what he did at da early-November Manalapan Township Committee meeting to some was partisan, but to many others he exposed corruption in Town Hall and kicked open da Queen's Pandora's Box of secrets that could very well be da lynchpin for an investigation.

Here’s da story.

It was soon after da Queen read her disclaimer about people speaking in Town Hall during the open public session having a maximum of 5 minutes to speakand that it would be enforced.

The enter "TruthTeller" Spodak, who sat down, and began to discuss the events that occurred recently in court involving Committman Gennaro & Deputy Mayor Cohen.

Cohen & Gennaro, who as Township Committeepeople allegedly did not have calls returned to them and apparently would not get proper legal guidance from da Taxpayer-Funded Manalapan’s Legal Dream Team regarding da money being spent by taxpayers in da now-infamous “Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man” case, went directly to da judge with their statements and concerns.

In a somewhat terse exchange between Spodak and Gennaro, Spodak held in his hand legal documents from da case - and here's what was said during da meeting:

Gennaro: How did you get a copy?

Spodak: None of your business.

Gennaro: How did you get it?

Spodak: I got it.

QUESTION - How is it a citizen in the community, albeit a former mayor got his hands on sensitive legal court documents that could have come from da Township Committee’s super-secret Executive Session – or from da ACTUAL case itself?

How did Porky get his paws on those legal and obviously sensitive documents? Did someone steal them from da court and give them to Porky? Were they stolen from Town Hall? Did he find them sifting through a dumster on Taylors Mill Road? Was anyone heard to say, "Hey, meet me behind Town Hall at midnight, and bring da package - and no cops?

Da fact he was in possession of those documents -- and da Queen and her court jesters didn't even bother to ask da important questions Mr. Gennaro clearly did means either da Gang of Three doesn't care how an average citizen came into possession of those documents, or did Spodak inadvertantly have potentially uncovered corruption in Town Hall?

Either way - anyone reading this blog should get into contact with da Monmouth County DA, Anne Milgram, or Chris Christie and this should be brought to their attention!

Soon after that exchange where it became apparent Spodak would not reveal his source as to how he got his hands on those documents, Gennaro said that since he was not able to get information from Manalapan officials or lawyers paid for by Manalapan taxpayers, he gathered info on da case from all of da legal papers displayed on da Electronic Frontier Foundation website!

Spodak, in his presentation, also specifically mentioned daTruthSquad’s October 27 blog, entitled, Gennaro & Cohen Unlock Da Queen’s Pandora’s Box,” which specifically mentions how & why Gennaro & Cohen went to da judge, after they were kept in da dark about events in Town Hall by other members of Manalapan’s Township Committee, and da taxpayer-paid lawyers of da Dream Team.

That’s also da “same website that daTruthSquad and da Mosked Man used in their defense,” said Spodak about da site where people have been able to learn about da case when da Township Committee, using taxpayer money, attempted to remove da First Amendment from da Constitution and silence this blog.

Then, Spodak showed in spectacular fashion why Township Attorney Kennedy has been a valuable asset to Manalapan, and da Queen clearly allowed a violation of meeting rules on public speakers.

Anyone speaking in open session has only 5 minutes to speak, known as da “5-minute rule.” Kennedy let da Queen know on at least 3 occasions that Spodak was passing, then well beyond da 5 minute rule. Even members of da audience were trying to make that clear to da mayor, who threatened to “have them removed” if they spoke up further. Da Queen allowed Spodak to continue despite knowing she was permitting a violation of da rules – and despite being told by da Township Attorney -- more than twice -- that she was allowing da violation of that meeting rule!

Using a stopwatch, Spodak spoke, excluding breaks in his conversations, for at least 12 minutes 37 seconds, although some TruthTellers allege it was closer to 15 minutes – obviously well over da 5 minute rule!

That was a direct violation of da rules regarding public speakers, clearly displayed by Spodak happening as da Queen presided over da meeting which nearly went out of control, making those threats to have people "removed."

Then da Asbury Park Press, in their interview with da Queen, told da newspaper, “Asked what the cost of the lawsuit would be to taxpayers, Roth would only say that attorney David Weeks, who has regularly represented the township in court, will be paid on contingency if the township recoups damages from Moskovitz."

Da problem with da Queen's statement is that quote to da newspaper is in direct conflict with da now-infamous “Rosman Editorial,” where Mark Rosman clearly showed that there were 4 lawyers paid with taxpayer dollars in da Mosked Man case - an editorial that actually became part of da legal case in da "Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man lawsuit!

Now, as for Spodak, between his statements about da alleged actions of Gennaro & Cohen and Gennaro’s reactions, they both claimed there were leaks in Manalapan Town Hall.

Spodak may have singlehandedly uncovered that, because it seemed at times to da untrained eye that da Township Committee’s Gang of Three knew exactly what Spodak was going to say, since they immediately added to their schedule without any previous discussion a resolution of censure for Gennaro and Cohen - something daGang of Three didn't even discuss with their Township Attorney!

DaTruth is, Spodak may have exposed exactly what this blog has been saying, which is there are leaks in Town Hall of information winding up on blogs - something they have blamed on da blogs - and da case against da Mosked Man has serious problems attached to it, which will be for another blog, and through his own actions, Spodak exposed that da Queen does not enforce even da simplest rules, da “5-minute rule” for public hearing speakers – something Spodak should be commended for.

As for da censure vote, how da Gang of Three were so prepared for what Spodak was going to speak about is a mystery.

Maybe all 3 are clarvoyant? Did they all go to a spiratual healer before da meeting? Were da answers to their questions about Spodak mysteriously uncovered using a oijia board prior to da meeting? Was devil worship involved?

Regardless of if or how they knew, daTruth is it was obvious it was as partisan as petty partisan politics could possibly be.

And - to show pettiness to its core -- one of those censured wasn’t even there!

Cohen, as stated by a speaker after Spodak - who stayed within da 5 minute rule - was hospitalized due to an illness and wasn’t even present to defend herself!

As da local Snoozepaper wrote, Gennaro was basically left to fight da Gang of Three alone & 1 against 3. “Gennaro's reaction to the censure was, "You people do what you want."

How can you have fairness when you need 3 votes to approve having a toilet flush and you have “Da Gang of Three” in power?

Fortunately for Manalapan's taxpaying residents, Gennaro & Cohen also made it clear they were above da petty partisan politics of da day.

Gennaro said to da Press, “As part of our oath of office, we all swore to be fair and impartial, to act reasonable, responsibly and do the right thing on behalf of the taxpayers," Gennaro said. "I will always tell the truth, regardless of the consequences, on behalf of the taxpayers of Manalapan."

Cohen said to da Press, "I did what I thought was right for the people of the township who elected me to represent them."

Those statements clearly and without a doubt show they truly care about da taxpayers of Manalapan, and "For All Da People" they serve.

Ironically, da Snoozepaper did not have a direct quote from either Gennaro or Cohen for their censure report outside of what was said during da meeting.

And fortunately for Porky, da way da Snoozepaper reported on Porly's exploits in Town Hall it almost felt like he has his own public relations staff on hand with another Snoozepaper "Front Page" story about his exploits in Manalapan Town Hall – even going as far as printing snippets of his “resolution,” claiming Cohen & Gennaro's actions were “tatamount to an act of treason.” Da way da writer wrote their story, entitled, “Ex Mayor Lobs Attack At Two Town Officials,” da only thing missing from Porky Spodak was his red, white, and blue cape, and da missing “S” on his shirt, and that he leaped tall buildings and bent steel in his bare hands getting over to Town Hall!

DaTruth is, after these unbelievable exploits, an investigation into da actions of Manalapan Town Hall and da Queen’s administration is warranted even more than ever. Thanks to da outstanding work of Mayor Spodak, we have clear evidence da Queen violated her own meeting rules, exposed how partisan da Mosked Man case is by da Queen-led Township Committee voting to censure two people who were obviously denied information - and one who wasn't even there - allowed Andy Boy, told by a judge to refrain from da case to comment on it and bring da censure motion, and da Queen refused to answer how much taxpayer money was being used to pay for da case!

Mayor Spodak, in his actions may have opened up another pandora’s box for da Queen. If da Manalapan Township Committee is ever investigated by da county or state, or even da Feds for their actions, you can thank people like Mayor Spodak for bringing things out into da open.

And, as Mayor Spodak pointed out, and Mr. Gennaro proved, it appears even government officials get information hidden from them and from da public by reading this blog! Freedom of speech is important, and remember – it was da Queen herself who gave her blessing to Free Speech by saying during da meeting we all have “da right to free speech,” and she would not take away that right! She actually said that during da meeting!

Of course, if da Queen is right, then why would she approve bringing legal action against daTruthSquad in 2007 in a case that cost taxpayers a lot of money - and thanks to da hard work of da Electronic Frontier Foundation - was tossed out of court saving Free Speech for another day!

It’s good to know da Queen herself approves of free speech, which is exactly what this blog is all about, and why daTruthSquad will continue to bring you daTruth.

And that’s daTruth.

Monmouth GOP Needs To Investigate Da Manalapan GOP Leadership

Da talk in Manalapan is about da victory of Barack Obama, but what is also being discussed is how a Democrat with more baggage than Delta Airlines can win an election - especially when da GOP won da big elections in Manalapan - and in da surrounding towns!

It appears John McCain scored a victory in Manalapan, and even Dick Zimmer who lost by a landslide in New Jersey apparently did very well in Manalapan! It show Manalapan is a GOP town -- that is -- unless you run for local town office.

So, how is it McCain & Zimmer scored in Manalapan, but da 2 GOP hand-picked candidates of GOP Grand Poobah Steve McEnery both lost?

DaTruthSquad has investigated this matter, and da findings are shocking.

ISSUE 1: Da Campaign.

Locally, this may have been by far da worst-run campaign in town history! Green & Garcia couldn't be found, even if their faces were put on da side of milk cartons. Their signs appeared to be da same ones from da primary, and looked it. Their ELEC Reports show they didn't raise enough money to get them bus fare to Sayreville. They sent out one mailer in da last week of da campaign. Their "listening tour" reportedly attracted about 10 people to da Library, and that figure included them and their alleged campaign manager. Da senior GOP'er in local government, Andy Boy, didn't even have a campaign sign in front of his alleged Manalapan home through da weekend before da election!

Needless to say, it's tough to win if you don't campaign, and whoever gave them da advice on how they ran their election should be very suspect.

ISSUE 2: Da Competition.

G&G were running against Da Queen. She was running on a record of raising taxes over 40% just in da past 2 years, voting against da tax decrease of 2006, and being outspoken about not wanting a tax decrease in 2005, as well as voting to raise taxes in 2004. She is da catalyst of da now-infamous "Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" lawsuit, which has cost Manalapan taxpayers at least $125,000 already -- but we don't know exactly how much since she refuses to tell anyone how much it's cost.

Her record also includes spending over $1.6 million after bonding for a piece of land valued at just over $750,000. She is a key player in blocking da Village from being built, which is why Manalapan has one of da worst ratable rates in da entire state and why homeowners pay more of da town bills than business does!

Her record also shows she was a proponent of spending during one of the worst economic times since, as Obama put it, since da Great Depression!

And, let's not forget her place in da "Orthodox Issue" and "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS," da issue that put Manalapan on da ethnic-slamming map!

She won election, despite enacting record-high town budgets using record-high homeowner tax money and voting "YES" to da biggest tax increase in town history! And, da campaign manager of da G&G Boys managed his campaign even worse than da McCain campaign - because he couldn't beat - or did he even try to beat - da biggest taxer & spender in Manalapan government's recent history.

ISSUE 3: Da Campaign Manager.

How is it that, in a GOP area where McCain & Zimmer did very well in Manalapan, and in bordering Englishtown, Freehold, and Colts Neck their local GOP won majorities in their towns, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE DA MANALAPAN GOP LOST DESPITE ALL OF DA GOP GAINS IN DA AREA?

After da first contested primary in memory for da GOP, a vote was held to see if da GOP Grand Poobah would keep his job. He won da controversial vote by a single vote! In da process, he lost his footsoldiers and folks who would always be at hand to help a campaign. He didn't raise any money. Da proof there are ELEC Reports showing Green dipping into his own pocket to pay for his own fundraiser!

At town hall, he has never stood up to protect fellow GOP'er & Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen, who is constantly taken to task by a number of da Queen's Cadre membership. She was excluded from information on "Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" lawsuit, to da point where she and Mr. Gennaro had to see da judge in da case and attempt to add their briefs to da controversial case!

He was a key player in da failed-freeloader election of Andy Boy Lucas - da first GOP Freeloader loss in 20 years, and da catalyst for da Democrats to now mount 3 straight winning elections to take over county leadership. His support of former County GOP Chairman PuPu propelled him to become da "Chair of Chairs," a job he immediately lost when PuPu lost his grip on power.

DaTruth is, there was a reason daTruthSquad called for Da Poobah's resignation.

When you look at da record, how da G&G Boy's campaign was run, how he didn't raise enough money, how McCain & Zimmer won in Manalapan but da G&G boys didn't - it raises serious questions, even as far-reaching as collusion.

Is it even possible that da Poobah wanted da Queen to win? Is it conceivable that da GOP leader wanted da biggest tax & spend Democrat in town history to win?

Two words - Andy Boy.

FACT: In 2007, Andy Boy became mayor, despite GOP objections, when da Queen and her new "Jack of Clubs" Klauber - 2 Democrats - voted him into power. In 2008, Andy Boy did nothing, making da Queen da Mayor. In 2009, it's already expected either Andy Boy or da Queen will be mayor, and whoever isn't da mayor in 2009 could in fact be mayor in 2010. Is that "power sharing?"

FACT: In 2007, alleged GOP'er Andy Boy was one of da architects of da biggest tax increase in Manalapan history. He also was a budget factor in da follow-up tax increase in 2008 -- over 40% in 2 years combined! This means Andy Boy has become da single-biggest "TAX & SPEND" Republican in Manalapan history! His GOP commander - da Poobah - has given nothing but support --- and as daTruthSquad has uncovered, according to already established ELEC Reports, da Poobah has signed on to be Andy Boy's 2010 campaign manager!

IF STEVE MCENERY, DA MANALAPAN GOP LEADER, DIDN'T FULLY SUPPORT DA BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN MANALAPAN HISTORY AND A COMBINED BIGGEST TAX & SPEND INCREASES OVER 2 YEARS IN TOWN HISTORY --- WOULD HE STILL BE ANDY BOY'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR 2010?

DaTruth is, if da state GOP or county GOP knew of his support for these historic tax & spend increases, they'd be through da roof! This means that someone needs to ask da Ox-meister if it's OK to support massive tax increases to pay off controversial land grabs, and even more controversial lawsuits?

Here's what needs to happen.

STEP 1: Da Manalapan GOP needs to hold an emergency meeting and discuss their leadership before 2009. Either they need to formally approve unanimously a "We Love Taxing & Spending to Oblivion" plank, or they need to ask and demand da resignation of Steve McEnery.

STEP 2: Whoever da new leader will be, they need to caucus with Andy Boy and ask him if he's still a GOP'er, and if so, prove it with actions and deeds.

STEP 3: Da "New GOP" needs to demand, with a firm voice, demand da state step in and investigate da Manalapan Township Committee for their handling at TAXPAYER EXPENSE of da Mosked Man lawsuit that has long-surpassed the six-figure mark.

DaTruth is, right now da Manalapan GOP is a fractured group of individuals with no clear leader except for their club president, who still has no power when compared to da Grand Poobah.

Da County GOP has a choice to make as well, do they support "TAX & SPEND" as a GOP platform, or do they reject that philosophy? If they reject TAXING & SPENDING," then da County GOP must either censure da Manalapan GOP leadership, or demand leadership change immediately.

And that's daTruth.

Manalapan's Election: Pick a Finger & Point It At Da Poobah

In da microcosm of da Kingdom of Manalapan, voters had to consider many things. They had to endure a Queen-led tax increase of over 40% in da last 2 years -- a worldwide embarassment out-of-control politically charged and a political vendetta lawsuit costing Manalapan taxpayers well over $100,000 -- more problems (and you'll be hearing about it soon on this blog thanks to my TruthTellers at da Taj Mahal) at da WMUA -- a more-than-million-dollar land grab with absolutely no plan on how to use it or what to do with it -- cronyism on a huge scale -- a leader of da Township Committee more reminiscent of Leona Helmsley -- yet somehow, they still voted for her.

And da question is -- How?

How can someone who carries more baggage than a sky cap at Kennedy Airport during da holidays win? How can someone who blamed everyone else except her husband for saying, "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS" win reelection?

Well, let's look not at da person who won, but instead - da person who made her victory possible -- her "campaign manager," if you will -- and it wasn't Gerry Ward.

Since becoming Manalapan GOP Grand Poobah, it's been about nothing but power for Steve "Iron Girth" McEnery. Since 2004 - 5 elections in all - his only true victory that he can point to as his own came thanks to Joltin Joe Locricchio! He ran a campaign in 2005 into da ground. He took da 2006 campaign and divided everyone into a loss. His 2007 campaign was won, not because of Andy Boy, but because of da popularity of Susan Cohen, and he wouldn't have anything to do with her. In 2008, he divided his entire party with two people nobody knew, raised barely enough money for bus fare, and no chance of winning despite a person in Town Hall some people liked as much as one enjoys a strong case of Herpes. And, let's forget being da driving force of Andy Boy's failed Freeloader campaign -- da first GOP campaign in 2 decades that lost to a Democrat!

His thirst for power has damaged da Manalapan GOP to da point of fracture. During da summer, he kept his Poobah-ship by a single vote. He has done more to alienate his base than bring new people in. And, he single handedly allowed da Queen to keep her stranglehold on power in Manalapan.

How was that? Look around da Kingdom.

1. During da campaign there were more "For Sale" signs on lawns than Green & Garcia signs.

2. At Andy Boy's Manalapan residence on da roadside, there wasn't even 1 G&G sign.

3. They had 1 mailer, and other than that, did you know there was even a local election in town?

4. They ducked a debate with da Queen which would have got them face time, and potentially da few votes that would have made da difference.

5. Thanks to da division he caused within da local GOP, they had no foot soldiers to help them.

6. According to their ELEC reports, da most money brought in at 1 time was from Green himself who paid for his own fundraiser!


This is da advice he was giving out as leader? If this guy were with General Custer, he probably would have been da one saying, "Look, over da hill - I think they're friendly Indians."

A number of TruthTellers told daTruthSquad they actually believed it was in da Poobah's best interest to have da Queen ascend to da throne, because it guarantees Andy Boy's power base through his alliance with da Queen.

One TruthTeller actually was overheard saying, "I think we have da only Republican leader in da nation who applauds tax increases and wasteful government spending!"

Thanks to da Poobah, he allowed a candidate with more baggage than carried by UPS in a month to win an election, despite da fact she hasn't seen a tax hike she didn't vote for. It was da Poobah who was da dividing force between Joltin Joe and Andy Boy's separation. He turned away folks like Steve Johnson & Butch Budai, two of da harder-working footsoldiers in da Manalapan GOP. He was da person who guided Andy Boy's campaign that was da first losing Freeloader campaign in 2 decades. He had a hand in da rise, and especially da fall, of former county GOP leader Pu-Pu.

Then, you have da GOP leader's belief system. In 2005 and 2006, it was all about lowering taxes, a mantra of da GOP. However, in 2007, when his boy Andy Boy was one of da architects of da highest single tax increase in town history, all of a sudden tax increases were as welcome as flies on a manure pile to him! In fact, da Poobah obviously liked GOP-sponsored tax increases so much, he sided with Andy Boy in 2008 for another one!

DaTruth is, if Manalapan gets another double-digit tax increase, don't thank da Queen. Da fault squarely lies on da shoulders of a GOP leader who hasn't said word-one about a GOP-led "Largest municipal tax increase in town history," followed by a second GOP-led double-digit tax increase! It begs da question: Could da GOP Poobah have had a hand in da Queen's campaign?

Did you notice da Queen hardly campaigned? She was nowhere to be found -- but even less able to find were da Poobah's candidates, as da Poobah ran their race like a 1-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. Da Queen didn't have to campaign, because da poobah must have known that with a win by da Queen, plus her alliance with Andy Boy, means each of their chances to be mayor again, were intact.

DaTruthSquad can make this guarantee today -- either Andy Boy or da Queen will be Mayor in 2009 - and da other will be Deputy Mayor. If it happens, then we will all know it's about 2 people keeping power at all costs.

DaTruth is, da Manalapan GOP needs to make a serious decision. Da Poobah has proved that unless Joe Locricchio is on da ticket, he can't win an election he runs. In 2008, Manalapan's GOP lost a chance to gain a clear majority on da Township Committee. Right now, da split is 3 Democrats, 1 Republican, and whatever Andy Boy is. Manalapan lost a chance at lower municipal taxes, less cronyism, no more "land purchases to nowhere," and no 6-figure political vendetta lawsuits funded by taxpayers, and that loss comes at da feet of da leader of da GOP.

Da thanks for all of this - squarely resting on da prodigious girth of one GOP Grand Poobah.

Da time has come for da Manalapan GOP to strip for good their Poobah of his power. Da fruits of his labor is another failed campaign, a split party, and failed leadership. When a GOP leader not only sits by but publicly approves tax & spend increases on a massive scale, he has placed da principles of da GOP into da toilet and not bother to flush. He's violated da public trust of every registered GOP'er with his actions, all of which apparently benefits da Queen and her lawsuit sidekick, DEFENDANT Andy Boy.

It's time Steve McEnery resign and someone who has da faith, desires, and confidence of their entire party be put into that leadership post. He has clearly shown he can no longer lead his party effectively. His "my way or da highway" approach to leadership has allowed da Manalapan GOP to disintegrate. He needs, for da first time in years, to do da right thing for da good of da party - and not for himself.

Steve McEnery needs to resign as Manalapan GOP leader.

And that's daTruth.

URGENT UPDATE: MANALAPAN PUBLIC OFFICIAL EXPOSES CORRUPTION!

History was made in Manalapan when corruption on a grand scale was uncovered in da local Snoozepaper. It was da first time since da famed "Rosman Editorial" that da Snoozepaper had an article in it exposing corruption by Manalapan's political elite. We know it must be true because it wasn't written by Back Page Barratta - it was penned by none other than Manalapan Township Committeeman Anthony Gennaro -- and it exposes corruption in local government on a grand scale!

In a scary account of township officials apparently acting with reckless disregard for taxpayers, Committeeman Gennaro's shocking allegations prove beyond any doubt da lawsuit which has garnered worldwide attention, "Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" is nothing more than a political vendetta -- led by Manalapan's elected officials known as da "Gang of Three -- and paid for by taxpayer money!

Gennaro wrote a letter to da editor of da Snoozepaper, that actually printed it! In it, Gennaro's claims are not only serious, but can easily be deemed violations of da public trust!

GENNARO SHOCK QUOTE #1: "This has become a case where several committee members have attempted to control how elected officials do their jobs."

GENNARO SHOCK QUOTE #2: "I was recently challenged when simply qualifying my vote on a "ratifying resolution" that retroactively attempts to rewrite history."

GENNARO SHOCK QUOTE #3: "How can anyone claim that our government is transparent and fiscally responsible when elected officials are denied access to legal documents, and legal counsel is allowed to function unmonitored?"

GENNARO SHOCK QUOTE #4: "On behalf of the taxpayers of Manalapan, I believe that neither their interests nor mine were properly represented."

HISTORY: In 2007, a small alliance of folks who apparently have no plans to invite former Manalapan mayor & township attorney Da Mosked Man to a backyard BBQ hatched a plan to go after da person they claim cost Manalapan money in a land-deal-gone-bad scheme. They wanted a judge to slap a gag order on da case so nobody involved in it could talk about it. Unfortunately for da Gang of Three, daTruthSquad kept their ears down and blogged about it. Da scheme for da political elite backfired when they decided to believe daTruthSquad was actually da Mosked Man, da defendant in da lawsuit, so they sued daTruthSquad too.

What da Gang of Three didn't expect was in their actions, they were taking da First Amendment of da Constitution and throwing it on "da Barbie" next to da shrimp. Da Gang of Three's "Manalapan Legal Dream Team," at TAXPAYER EXPENSE, compiled scores of pages of exhibits and evidence making their claim that da Mosked man was daTruthSquad. Their actions were challenged by da Electronic Frontier Foundation, which not only challenged their claim, but also posted all of da legal documents on their website for everyone to see!

Since then, others have come forward to expose shocking allegations.

ALLEGATION #1: Da Deputy Mayor, who is a friend of da Mosked Man has to leave da room when da case is discussed, but a current Committeeman who is an actual defendant in da case is still allowed to vote to keep da case moving forward!

ALLEGATION #2: A former Manalapan mayor told da Township Committee in an email that this case could cost taxpayers "over $200,000" according to evidence uncovered by Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen - all for a soil cleanup costing $10,500!

ALLEGATION #3: Amazingly, evidence brought to da court by two current elected officials claim they aren't being given access to township information on da case, and township lawyers paid by taxpayer dollars are not discussing da case with certain township officials!

ALLEGATION #4: Although township officials claim not one cent was being paid to lawyers due to da case being done on a contingency fee, da now-famous "Rosman Editorial" verified what daTruthSquad claimed - that is - lawyers are being paid despite township officials claims.

ALLEGATION #5: Considering that a total of 4 township attorneys were employed during da time of da land deal issue, and a number of engineering officials at taxpayer expense who either did no tests on da land or were not told to do any despite da knowledge of an oil storage tank, and even one township attorney who claimed da Mosked Man did nothing wrong, Manalapan politicians only singled out da Mosked Man for their lawsuit.

ALLEGATION #6: An engineering firm that donated money to Manalapan politicians charged approximately $65,000 for a soil cleanup that only cost $10,500, and actually came in under budget.

DaTruth is, what Committeeman Gennaro did in his letter to da Snoozepaper, and his brief brought to da court is what every taxpayer should expect from their public officials. He has exposed corruption on a grand scale - and he should be praised for doing his duty for da citizens he serves.

Accordingly, it is obvious that this wrongdoing must be offered da attention it deserves.

DaTruthSquad has never asked of their readers anything, except to read da blog and find out what is really happening through our number of sources. Now, daTruthSquad is asking "For All Da People" to get involved - and it is "For All da People."

DaTruthSquad wants every person who reads this blog to send a copy of da letter Committeeman sent to da Snoozepaper to da following offices. DaTruthSquad has provided da links to make it easy for you - and - you can send this anonymously. Simply click the link and follow da prosecutor's simple directions.

Da only way YOUR TAX DOLLARS will stop being wasted is for you to become directly involved. On all of these sites, your anonymity is kept safe. It's time da proper authorities get involved and uncover what Manalapan politicians are really doing with YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Readers & TruthTellers - WE HAVE TO GET INVOLVED TO MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN! WE HAVE TO GET INVOLVED TO STOP CORRUPTION! WE HAVE TO DO THIS "FOR ALL DA PEOPLE."

Cohen & Gennaro Unlock Queens Pandora's Box

There were a lot of charges levied in da now infamous "Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" lawsuit, outside of da "it's da Mosked Man's fault." One of da well-hidden - hope nobody finds this out little nuggets from this lawsuit is how information is shared - or not shared - between members of da Manalapan Township Committee "ruling elite" and those left to apparently fend for themselves.

DaTruthSquad has discussed this situation at length. Da local Snoozepaper, not surprisingly, avoided this issue. However, they can't hide behind da pen of Back Page Barratta anymore.

It what is obviously a major affront to da "transparency" of da Queen's administration, and adds kerosene to da fire in da belief that this is nothing more than a political vendetta for a few politicians financed by taxpayers, Manalapan Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen and Committeeman Anthony Gennaro were forced to file their own briefs in court in da case that has garnered worldwide attention -- because -- they're being "kept in da dark" by da attorneys being paid-for with taxpayer dollars -- and da Township Committee Elite who won't apparently give them straight answers!

In addition, their briefs also opened up da Pandora's box about da crux of this case -- is it really legal malpractice, or a few political elitists trying to toss dirt on their political opponent at taxpayer expense?

ISSUE 1 - DA DEFENDANT GETS TO VOTE.

No, it's not da Mosked Man we're talking about. Committeeman and former mayor and alleged Manalapan and/or Freehold resident Andy Boy was named a 3rd party defendant in da lawsuit. Even though he's a defendant, he still gets to vote on this lawsuit and all taxpayer-funding issues. Cohen, meanwhile, who is da Deputy Mayor, was forced out of executive sessions because she a "friend" of da Mosked Man.

"In one of the first legal briefs he filed with the court regarding Manalapan's litigation against him, Moskovitz asserted that Cohen had been "ordered" out of a Township Committee executive (closed) session when the remaining members of the governing body and other municipal representatives were going to be discussing the township's litigation against him. At the time, when asked for comment on the claims contained in Moskovitz's legal brief, Cohen confirmed his assertions and said she left the room when the Moskovitz litigation was being discussed. She said it had been the consensus of the others present at the meeting that she was compromised because her relationship with Moskovitz was personal, in that they are friends, as well as clients of Moskovitz because Cohen's husband has and will continue to retain Moskovitz for certain business affairs. Speaking at that time, Cohen said, "was told I had to leave the room because there was a conflict of interest. I was told that by everybody. I wasn't arguing the point, so I left."

http://newstranscript.gmnews.com/news/2008/1022/front_page/003.html

ISSUE 2 - CONNECTING DA LEGAL DOTS.

Da crux of this issue actually goes back to 2001, when da Mosked Man, as a member of da Township Committee accused then-township attorney Norman Kauff of wrongdoing. Kauff would later leave his office before his term expired. Kauff - and you have to follow da bouncing counselor here -- is listed as "being "of counsel" to the firm of Daniel McCarthy, one of the attorneys involved in the Manalapan v. Moskovitz case." "Cohen states in her certification that when Kauff served as Manalapan's township attorney, Moskovitz "disclosed that Mr. Kauff was over billing the township and in 2001, Mr. Moskovitz exposed that Mr. Kauff was increasing his pension by being salaried as the township attorney. … Mr. Kauff is of counsel to the law firm of Rogut, McCarthy, Troy, whose partner, Daniel McCarthy, a major contributor to various campaigns in Manalapan, is the driving force for this lawsuit."

Note da words "major contributor to various campaigns in Manalapan."

Then you have McCarthy helping bring in David Weeks and his law firm. It only adds more questions to a lawsuit that seems to have "politics" written all over it.

ISSUE 3 - WHY ARE GENNARO & COHEN PURPOSELY BEING KEPT AWAY FROM INFORMATION?

Anyone who's hired anyone from a lawyer, to Joe da Plumber, to an accountant, or contractor knows if they don't return your phone calls, won't talk to you, or refuse to discuss things with you, you fire da bums. If, however, you're a town committeeperson, or even a Deputy Mayor, and people you pay with taxpayer money won't give you da time of day, that borders on criminal. That's exactly what Gennaro & Cohen are alleging. "Both Cohen and Gennaro state in their certifications that they took it upon themselves to submit the documents because they are both of the opinion that the attorneys who are litigating the malpractice action for Manalapan against Moskovitz are not keeping them (Cohen and Gennaro) informed of developments in the matter. They allege that they are deliberately being left out of the loop."

ISSUE 4 - IF YOU THINK IT COST TAXPAYERS A LOT NOW...

This is bombshell evidence --- If you think Manalapan's political elite didn't know taxpayers would be on da hook for $200,000 -- YES $200,000 -- you can thank former mayor Drew Shapiro for that. "In his certification, Gennaro, too, refers to Shapiro, citing an e-mail sent by Shapiro in which Gennaro says Shapiro claimed the cleanup of the contaminated soil could end up costing Manalapan $200,000, and that is why special counsel was asked to "review the file." The allusion is to the file regarding the township's purchase of the property under the terms of the contract drawn up by Moskovitz. Gennaro states in his certification that McCarthy had not notified the Township Committee of "the possible impact of the state tort claims act or Manalapan's local ordinance regarding Mr. Moskovitz's right of indemnification."

THIS MEANS THEY KNEW BACK IN EARLY 2007 - BEFORE THEY FILED DA LAWSUIT AGAINST THEIR POLITICAL RIVAL - THAT THEY COULD POTENTIALLY BE CHARGING TAXPAYERS $200,000 TO FIX WHAT WAS A $10,500 SOIL PROBLEM!!!!!

So, in effect, you have lawyers running amok, and according to da briefs filed by Gennaro & Cohen they're being paid taxpayer money but not informing da people guarding da taxpayer money. If this doesn't scream out for an investigation by ca county DA, Anne Milgram, or Chris Christie, nothing does.

DaTruth is, when you have sitting township committeepeople who admit they have to get their information from blogs, a California legal website, or a newspaper -- and not from their own lawyers & fellow members of their own Township Committee, then you can call that a number of things, collusion, unethical, and a number of other unflattering things, but in da end, since taxpayer money is funding this fiasco, it can also be called "FRAUD."

Here's what daTruthsquad would like to see:

1. DA NEW JERSEY BAR ASSOCIATION GET INVOLVED. If da lawyers under Manalapan employ aren't doing right by their clients, then these lawyers need to be sanctioned for their behavior.

2. DA MONMOUTH COUNTY PROSECUTOR GET INVOLVED. If it is discovered that taxpayer money is fueling a political vendetta, then that is fraud and Manalapan taxpayers should & must be reimbursed.

3. DA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OPEN AN INVESTIGATION. Using taxpayer money for political vendettas is fraud and could be treated as a crime. Much like Wayne Bryant, Sharpe James, and John Lynch - POLITICIANS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS! Those who perpetrated this act should be prosecuted to da fullest extent of da law. Da only way to truly find this out is to open up a state investigation.

4. DA FEDS SHOULD GET INVOLVED. Da Feds already know how to get to Manalapan. They were here for Frank Abate and his WMUA-gate. It's time they make a call on Town Hall and check records there.

5. IF ANY OF DA OTHER 4 SCENARIOS HAPPEN, THEN DA QUEEN & ANDY BOY SHOULD BE ASKED TO RESIGN, AND IF NOT, THEIR VOTING POWER ON ANY TAXPAYER-FUNDING MATTERS SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY.

DaTruth is, what Gennaro & Cohen did may be unprecedented, it may prove there's something unethical going on in da Kingdom, and it definitely proves there's about as much transparancy in da Queen's administration as you'll find in a 500-foot thick cinderblock wall lined with 1,000 feet of steel. If this isn't resolved soon, and unless da Mosked Man isn't found guilty, then when he replies with his own lawsuits as anyone would expect, what taxpayers have spent thus far on Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man will be pocket change compared with da settlement he will get.

And, daTruthSquad urges you to read da facts for yourself. Da Electionic Frontier Foundation has legal correspondence, A SLEW OF COURT RECORDS & DOCUMENTS, actual legal briefs filed by Manalapan's Legal Dream Team, and da first judge's outcome all available online for anyone to see -- AND YOU CAN'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE ELSE!

You need to see exactly what your elite politicians demand you pay for. Anf that's daTruth.
