Republican Candidates Beware - Andy Boy Votes To Send State Police Packing

Apparently this one didn't mean much to da local coupon clipper, but you ask some TruthTellers and you watch their jaws drop in horror. It involves da police, and a lone township committeeperson who turned their back on da proud men & women who keep us safe.

Here's a little history:

For some time, there has been talk about shutting down da State Police barracks in Allenwood (Wall Township). Da land is valuable, and there are some who would like to sell da land, kick out da police, and build something that can bring in revenue for da taxpayers while making some developers $$$$$$.

There are a lot of folks against it. Local residents depend on da state police as their own police force. Unlike a town like Manalapan, some towns have little or no local town police. Those same police also help patrol da Garden State Parkway. But more important is their work in da local communities they serve.

State Senator Tom Kean, a GOP'er, came out strongly against kicking da State Police to da curb, and he wasn't alone.

Da Asbury Park Press wrote a scathing editorial against da closure of da Allenwood barracks saying, "The four squads of troopers at Allenwood responded to 6,226 calls in 2007, not including traffic tickets and assists to motorists. The Allenwood closing could strain other area law-enforcement agencies if State Police coverage is diminished or delayed. And the lack of a strong, permanent State Police presence close to the junction of Interstate 195 and the Garden State Parkway is troubling."

Da key point in da whole problem is this - "The closing — part of a state effort to save money — came after the state and the property owner could not agree on terms to renew the Allenwood lease."

You have a state that's paying - using TAXPAYER MONEY - over $80 million to fix up a park in Trenton, over $7 million for a failed study on raising Turnpike tolls 800%, politicians still celebrate Christmas in Trenton every time a budget passes, yet for some strange reason they don't have 2 nickels to rub together to protect citizens?

However, the above statement regarding not being able to figure out da lease, could potentially allow a developer to swoop in, and daTruthSquad hears it may be to build a bunch of new homes.

How ironic - we kick out da police, then build a bunch of new homes and have people move in but not provide them proper police protection! Who could possibly be pathetic enough to support that?

Well, developers will love it, because they'll make $$$$$$, and some politicians who support those developers will love it because they'll get campaign $$$$$$$.

Now, let's fast forward to a Manalapan Township meeting back in March......

One of da 5 members of da Manalapan Township Committee announced a resolution condemning that decision to close da Allenwood barracks. After making that motion, each member of da committee had their chance to make a statement for or against, and even ask questions so they could make their decision.

Do you wonder who was da lone individual who wanted to hand da police their eviction notice?

If you said Mr. Anthony Gennaro - you're wrong. He's a friend of da people who protect us and he voted to pass da resolution opposing kicking da State Police out of Allenwood.

If you said Susan Cohen - you're wrong again. She too was adamant against what da state wants to do to da state police, and she like Mr. Gennaro voted proudly to pass da resolution opposing kicking da State Police out of Allenwood.

If you said da Queen Mayor - and this may shock you - you're wrong again! Not only did she read da resolution, she too voted to pass da resolution opposing kicking da State Police out of Allenwood.

If you said Cash Klauber - this won't shock you - but you're still wrong. DaTruthSquad can't remember a time when Cash didn't vote da same way da Queen has.

So, since da resolution condemning da eviction of da State Police passed 4-1, let's see who voted to kick da police in their backsides?

If you said alleged Manalapan / and or Freehold resident and alleged GOP'er Committeeman Andy Boy, you'd be right!!!

Now, why would Andy Boy, an alleged GOP'er in a party that is allegedly pro-police decide that having da state police in nearby Allenwood isn't worth da cost to da citizens?

Maybe that's a question da local Snoozepaper should have asked? We all sure wish they did.

Maybe that's a question that should be asked of Andy Boy at da next Township Committee meeting?

Maybe that's a question his protege candidates, Blogger Bill Garcia & Ryan "3rd Place" Green should be asking of their key supporter?

Maybe that's a question Blogger Bill should be blogging about?

DaTruth is, dissing da police demands a response. Why did Andy Boy vote against supporting da State Police? What was his reasons? Anyone who watched da meeting knows he asked Tara Tiara 2 questions regarding da resolution? What questions did he ask? What was Tara's response?

In an editorial, State Senator Tom Kean hit da nail on da head. Closing the Allenwood Barracks is more than just another slight to Monmouth County; it is a dangerous decision that will impact the safety of the entire region. It is worth noting that, just recently, a known member of the Surenos 13 street gang from Philadelphia was apprehended in Wall Township. In addition, our area has a number of sites, such as the Monmouth Executive Airport in Wall, which could be an inviting target for terrorists. One cannot help but wonder about the logic of reducing police presence in our area given the level of violent crime presently taking place in Asbury Park. Equally troubling is the impact that this decision could have on Trooper safety. For instance, a Trooper who pulls over a vehicle on Route 35 in Neptune Township would depend on back-up responding from Hamilton Township in Mercer County or Sayreville in Middlesex County.

Then again, considering all the problems noted at Thompson Park & Manalapan High School, what has Committeeman Andy Boy done? Well, give that man a "BaconHead" because so far, he's done nothing.

And, if anyone should know this it would be former failed-Freeloader candidate Andy Boy, but Upper Freehold, Rooselelt, and Millstone have no police departments of their own. They rely on the State Police for protection!

DaTruth is, da two people who should be concerned da most is Blogger Bill & 3rd Place Green. They are da ones who have to stand with Andy Boy, as he and Iron Girth are their biggest backers. Da simple fact more than a month has gone by and not one word from 3rd Place Green and not one blog from Blogger Bill shows either they support kicking da State police out of Allenwood, or they had no idea about Andy Boy's vote, meaning they are out of touch with what is happening in da very same Town Hall they hope to occupy.

Da editorial ended with da sentences, "Meanwhile, Kean and his bill's co-sponsor, Sen. Robert Singer, R-Ocean, should insist Fuentes level with everyone affected by the Allenwood decision by justifying it in terms of finances and public safety."

Da very same can be asked of 3rd Place Green or Blogger Bill. They should insist their mentor Andy Boy come clean and answer as to why he wants to evict da police. If they don't disavow their mentor, then it will be very difficult for anyone who stands with da police to support their candidacy. You know their primary opponents, da very qualified Butch Budai & Steve Johnson will be asking those questions. You also know if they do get through da primary, da Queen will certainly be asking those questions - which begs da question - is it even possible these 2 guys are in da race to throw it to da Queen?

And that's daTruth.
