It's a question being asked by those who actually hope da Manalapan Township Committee will do right by them. Now that Commissar Klauber has only one more township meeting to preside over before he is shown da door, what will his replacement, Ryan Green, do?
During his campaign three years ago, Commissar Klauber made a number of promises. However, as we all learned, for some, promises can be like your hair - everyone has hair. Whether your hairline recedes and you wind up looking 20 years older than you really are is another story.
Now, in comes Ryan Green, a young man who also made some promises.
He promised da Manalapan Township Committee would no longer stay da state's joke of jokes.
Will he put an end to "LadyGate" and allow da Chief of Police to not work in fear of some politicians?
Will he vote to end "pay-to-play" - something others have promised but have not delivered?
Will he demand that da people be more involved in town decisions, including allowing for public referendums on funding frivolous "Lawsuits To Nowhere," or land purchases that some would deem questionable?
Will he actually demand da muzzling of anyone who attacks members of da public or volunteers during township committee meetings?
Will he demand that township officials who either start or are a part of lawsuits reimburse da taxpayers for da thousands of $$$$$$$ spent?
Needless to say, Ryan Green will have his hands full there.
Then, there's da factional problems.
Tony Gennaro was living proof that not listening to da party bosses and using your own brain and thinking of what is best for da people you represent was a recipe for disaster - if you're a member of da Manalapan Township Committee. Susan Cohen found out that same fact of life. Will he side with Andy Boy and da GOP/Democratic party bosses, or will he live on da island with Susan Cohen who work "for all da people?"
Who will Ryan Green support for leadership of da Manalapan Township Committee? Da Queen, coming off her historic landslide loss in da State Assembly race will want payback, and that could be as da next mayor. However, she can't do that alone. She'll need two other votes for any leadership position.
In other words, she'll need a GOP'er, or alleged GOP'er, to side with her.
Andy Boy may also want to sit in da big chair again. Now, da Andy Boy / Holland / Queen alliance can divy up da top spots between themselves. Da only problem with that will be, if that scenario happens, Andy Boy will be completely exposed as siding with Democrats to keep power, since both Green & Cohen are GOP'ers. Da difference, though is Green is backed by da Manalapan GOP'er Grand Poobah, while Cohen is on her own doing da people's work. Who will Green side with? That remains to be seen.
Where will Green stand on da issue of lawsuits? Right now, da town is being sued by da Manalapan Chief of Police for discrimination, and da Mosked man wants to recoup 25 months of defending himself aginst a frivolous charge in da "Lawsuit-To-Nowhere" that da town, which brought da case, was forced to stop when their own lawyer dropped da case and after 4 months da town couldn't find even one lawyer in da entire state of New Jersey who wanted to attach their name to it! Then, there's da entire "Lady-Gate" issue.
What will Green do about what Englishtown residents are calling "Love Canal II," da land where da Gang of Three want to build a low-income, over 100 unit apartment building on da Englishtown border and an already crowded road on land that could potentially be contaminated and cost six-figures or more to clean up - with no studies done to see if its even feasible - all for a COAH situation that da new governor wants to change or even do away with anyway?
What will Ryan Green do about da Village? And where will he stand with Marlboro's potential new shopping center on Route 9 which could potentially back up traffic into Manalapan on any given day?
And while we're on da subject of that, where's da outrage from those who don't want da Village? Another "Mega-Mall" within walking distance of Manalapan's border?? This will mean more Manalapan folks getting into their cars to drive somewhere outside of Manalapan for the simple items they need that they can't get in Manalapan, because Manalapan, led by longtime politicians like da Queen and da party bosses, have allowed Manalapan to have one of the worst ratable rations in da entire state of New Jersey!
DaTruth is, this blog had questions about Ryan Green. He won da election, and to be fair, we will give him da benefit of da doubt. However, for those who want to gauge which Ryan Green will show up to represent them, da day in question will be da very first meeting in January when da gang get together and select who gets what job. What daTruthSquad expects is that da Queen will be named mayor, and as for who becomes deputy mayor, that is still a question. If Green supports da Queen, and becomes deputy mayor in return, then we'll all know. If Green watches as da Gang of Three keep power amongst themselves, then we'll know he's on da road to keeping his promises.
Which Ryan Green will show up is a very important question, to be sure. That could go a long way to see whether things really do change in Manalapan, or whether da party bosses will continue to make all da rules as they go along.
And that's DaTruth.

why does Tony get his name spelled out, while Andrew gets the diminutive and disrespectful "boy"? Why don't you come out of the closet?
It's too bad Tony didn't run again. He would have won. You have to respect someone who stands by their principles the way he did.
I hope Ryan Green has more common sense than your Queen and Komisar and put a stop to Love Canal II. That housing project will only make life misreable for Englishtown and Manalapan residents.
The Squad again brings up very interesting questions. Will Ryan Green become a stooge of the party bosses, or will he stand on his own two feet and do the people's work?
I think Green will follow in Susan Cohen's footsteps and do what is right for the people. Good luck Ryan.
I voted for Ryan and I think he'll do a great job. Give the young man some time. He did good work on the school board. I think we can trust him.
wait til ryan does something the Squad-drom doesn't like----watch how the love letters turn to poisin-spiked brickbats.
One indication was at the G.O.P. get-together on Tuesday night. Did anybody see what Green did?
And whad Kathy Baratta moved to Manalapan?
I have to share with everyone something funny. There's a post on the Manalapan HATE website by someone who slams this blog and a comment that had a word misspelled.
Ironically, this guy spelled a word wrong in his thread line.
What I find interesting is the person in question is the Municipal Democratic Chairman. Why would he be so in favor of the 110 unit low-income apartment building?
To the person who posted about Montgomery Ward:
My guess the person in question could be perceived as the same troublemaking liar, who is getting revenge on our township for abusing his delicate ego by denying him dictatorial authority to run our town since he not only ran and lost Klauber's election, but signed off on Roth's election too and lost both by LANDSLIDES!!!!!
He knows what he is, and he knows that you know what he is, and he doesn't care and has no remorse or conscience. People like that IMHO are sociopaths, and i think it's safe to say we all know it. Don't worry about the rantings of such individuals. Don't let the sociopath affect your good spirit and happiness.

Don't tease us tell us. What did Green do?
A very interesting look into what could happen with Ryan Green. Let's hope he doesn't fall into the ego power trip some of these people like Andy Boy and Roth have.
Good point about January 1. If he puts Roth into power, then we'll know for sure. We'll also know for sure if Lucass hangs him and leaves him to fight against he and Roth.
the real question is whether ryan has the ballz to stand up to the party bosses and defamers under the control of the master villain running the hate blog.
News flash!!!!!
Roth gives vote to Lucas and Green!!!!
The new threesome has been cast.
Poor don holland is only for the forth vote, if they need him.
I would doubt Green would go along with such as threesome. Lukass obviously would IMHO.
As for Holland, you have to feel bad for the guy. He's probably always one step away from being left alone on the battlefield that is Manalapan politics.
If there's any good news, at least Klauber learned, albeit the hard way, about what happens when you side with Roth.
well stu still controls ONE vote, a great victory for you, squad!!
I think the Republican party in Manalapan will keep close eyes on Ryan Green. If he aligns himself with the Roth & Lucas axis of evil, then the GOP could fins themselves losingthe 2010 elections where 2 seats are available. Although with one of those seats being for Andy boy, then that may be a good thing.
One down - three to go.
Klauber voted out in 2009.
Let's vote Andy BOY Lukass out in 2010 and Roth in 2011.
Let's return Manalapan to fiscal sanity and do this for all of the people!
THANK GOD THE SQUAD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT STU IS THE ONLY HONEST LEADER IN MANALAPAN. IN OUR TOWN, DEMOCRACY IS NOT WORKING--WE NEED STU TO TAKE OVER FOR US AND PROTECT US FROM THE DISHONEST BOSSES WHO CONTROL PEOPLE'S MINDS IN THE VOTING BOOTH.
I could care less about Moskovitz or whether he's the truth squad or whatever. Manalapan is a mess and somebody needs to clean up all of the lunacy in town hall. What Roth and her minions are doing to Chief Brown is not only a travesty, but it probably cost both her and Klauber their elections. It's also costing us money with all of her frivolous lawsuits she's started against Moskovitz, the truth squad, and now the Chief. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars in frivolous lawsuits ordered by Roth and her party bosses do we have to fund? Lets vote them all out.
Like the other posting said, Klauber was voted out. That's one crony off the political payroll. Next year, Andy Boy is up and if he gets voted out, then the only crony left will be Roth.
Klauber was a disgrace as a town committeeman. A landslide loss was what he and his party boss deserved.
you endorsed him, squad.
Hey squad, endorse Lucas for Mayor!!! We need Cohen and Holland, Mayor and Deputy Mayor. If you push for Lucas they could have a chance. Roth will vote for Holland and Green would vote for Cohen. Then you lose squad!!!
So, troublemaker, we're still waiting to hear what Ryan Green "did" at the gathering at Spargos last week.
Since you haven't cited anything it is obvious it was as empty a statement.
I hadn't heard what Ryan Green did at that Republican gathering. Did he tell off McEnery and Lucas?
If anyone knows, let us know.
Green told Lucas and McEnery to go crawl under a rock! Sorry, That was the cheif and "Don't call me a lady" Roth.
If she is going to keep living under that rock she needs to get a thicker skin. True business women can take an insult without letting her emotions run them to their mommy!
Tara is no better. “It was so sscarry to sseee themmmm yellllin. I didn’t know what to do. They never taught me how to stand up with a spine when I have two other women there to support me. I was soooo scared. He pointed right at her. Oh my!
I heard Lucas refused to vote for Cohen and told Green he wouldn't vote for him to be deputy if he voted for Cohen. I say call his bluff Ryan! Lucas will be the jerk if he votes for a Dem. You can be Mayor next year when Lucas is defeated!
If what the prior posting said was true, then hypothetically Lucas is already working behind the scenes to block a fellow Republican from becoming mayor. Ifthat is the case, then is Lucas really a Republican, or a Democrat hiding in Republican's clothing? If Oxley has any spine whatsoever, he should get involved and tell Lucas to stand by his party faithful, or go find another party to join.
Oxley won't get involved. He won't sell Lucas because Lucas is in with people like Gray and others who run the party. I hope Green has the chutzpah to stand up to these party bosses and do what is right for the people and not those in political power.
Gray is the party boss? I though it was mcenerny.
Wow, what ever drug the above posters have taken, give me some!
I think the name of the special pain killer is called the "no basis in reality drug"
yes, i agree. we need green to stand up to gray and oxley and let stu be his puppeteer, so that stu can take over manalapan and teach us all what it means not to be a bozo. stu is the greatest!! he will run things so that all the dems will lose their houses and be homeless, and stu, maybe if he's in a good mood, could rent them rooms in the basements of the houses they used to live in. and i'm sure he will get the busses to run on time!
Maybe that's why the Democrats and Lucas want to build that low income apartment building at the Englishtown border, so when Stu takes over the town as you say they'll have a place to live.
Maybe Roth isn't that stupid after all, if that's what you claim?
Let's be serious. Green needs to stand up on his own two feet, and that will mean standing up to McEnema and Lukass.
no, that means standing up to the evil defamer.
Do you think if the day ever comes when Larry Roth realizes he has no income because his business failed long ago, he'll go out and get a job so he doesn't have time to post on this site all day long? At least the moderator of this site has enough sense to ignore most of his postings, but why print any of them? Do you really think there's a person in Manalapan who wants to hear another obsessed word from this loser? We get it. He's still pissed because Stu defeated his wife when in 2004 when he ran the campaign against her (so Larry says, anyway, the reality is that Michelle defeated herself by being a complete incompetent in office and nearly bankrupting the township) Now he's even angrier because he thinks Stu caused her to lose her Assembly race by making sure the world knew about her rage and hatred of the Chief and any decent person in town hall. Get a life Larry. You're not convincing anyone of anything. We're all just laughing at you and the fact that this site is now the most important thing in your life. How terribly sad for you.
"standing up to the evil defamer"
I don't get it. Why does Ryan have to stand up to Freddie? Freddie has no power. He barely has a job. Standing up to Freddie is like standing up to a blow up Santa. What's the point?
It's obvious that there are some who don't like Stu for whatever reason. However, I applaud the Squad for allowing all people to post here. That's what the First Amendment is all about.
I'm sure there are some comments that they do not post, for reasons like abusive language, cursing, or things like that. I'm glad the Squad does not allow those on because this blog is perfoect for what it does - allow ALL views to be heard about topics that don't usually get printed in newspapers or discussed anywhere else.
I don't like Stu Moskovitz! He beat the GREAT JIM GRAY. He never should have waged the vicous campaign against such a great man like Jim Gray. Jim saved Manalapan by bringing in the Battlegrounds, and Knob Hill. He brought up the biggest soccer tournament in the state, with the biggest soccer club profits. He brought us the Homes near Raceway park. He brought us Covered Bridge. He brought us Target and Wegmans. He fought off Home Depot and all commercial businesses. JIM GRAY IS THE BEST. HE IS THE REPUBLICAN LEADER OF MANALAPAN!!!!!!
The above poster is not Mr. Stone. Contrary to the deceitful posts Stone EC and his various alter egos have made, legitimate comments have been omitted. See, here is the bottom line. People like Stone EC have no problem lying, pretty much about anything. They lie about Larry & Michelle Roth. They lie about Fred Stone and they lie about Andy Lucas. It's easy for them to lie because they were raised in an environment that was devoid of any semblance of truth and any sense of ethics. It's almost like you can’t blame them for being the animals that they are. Well, I blame them and I was always taught that actions have consequences. This has been proven correct time and time again. Like the old saying goes, it's just a matter of time. So let them lie outrageously and we will ignore them. Interesting who the hero of these liars and haters are, don’t you think? The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree. Or should I say the disciple, doesn’t fall to far from the tree.
heres whats funny,with the exception of the 4 of a kind misfits,this site is very informative.what makes me laugh is,if you go to the other site.(with the exception of where to eat)they have actually ran out of things to say.the only thing missing from there, is cricket music in the background.
Maybe there busy prepping spodak for this weeks 5 to 7 to 9 minute comedy set at this weeks meeting.
To the above comment that said "The above poster is not Mr. Stone."
Hi KB. Nice to see you read this blog like we all do.
FYI - I noticed on the HATE website that only two people have been posting lately. No wonder they tried to sell that website.
You know who the haters are now because the post under their own name on KBs site. Go back to NJ.com and read the visious words of the past. I swear they are the evil ones that posted terrible things on that site. The words are the same.
I recently looked at the Manalapan HATE website, and since Thanksgiving, only Fred Stone and Kathy Barata have posted there, outside of one rediculous posting by Larry Roth. If she thought she'd only get 10 cents for it before, she'll probably have to pay someone to take it off her hands now.
What a waste of internet space. No wonder they don't like this blog. Everybody read this.
i think the town prosecutor and maybe the governor's office must be investigating the hate site, because even though only freddie and frizzy seem to be posting anything there, every time i go there during the day to see if anything new got posted, there are at least 5 or 6 guests reading that site.
Don't waste your time. Check the HATE website weekly. There have only been three posts all this week, both from the same two people.
Pathetic.
yeah, i shutn't go so many times, but i'm always hoping to see somthing knew from that fred stone clown, his stuff is pretty funny.
Fred Stone? Funny? Only when he's trying to be serious, like that dork Spodak. Peas in a pod.
Go Irish!
hey, squadro, me bro, ain't it about time for some fresh meat from your keyboard. there must be somebody new that you can target for total destruction as only you know how.
Lucas, Green and Grey!
Just in ...Lucas...Mayor....Moskman.....lawsuit...filed Monday...Lucas....Roth...pay own legal bills.....declare backruptcy....forced to resign....Manalapan rejoices...
"Just in...."
Only in that warped mind of yours does that happen.
sicerely, squadro, if people like roth and lucas had to pay own bills whenever some lunatic accuses them of baseless baloney, you have put an end to volunteer government in america. what court do you know that will follow the evil mosked man down that stupid road.
this comment will also be posted on the "hate" site, so don't try to play games with it.
From reading the laat post ("This comment will also be posted on the 'hate site'") and others by the Lucas/Roth/Spodak/Stone losers that are the Manalapan government, you have to wonder - is there anyone in Manalapan's government with the maturity of someone older than a sixth grader? How embarrassing it is to live in a town where these are our "representatives." This is definitely not Rumson or even East Windsor - that's for sure.
The best part of Lucas being mayor is this time he'll do so with an Attorney General who will be fighting government corruption. That puts him right back on the radar screen for all the Brunelli stuff, the forged letter to the editor, the election fraud, everything. The lord is being very good to us.
wanna know why Spodak is running around singing "What kind of fool am I?" Here is what he said in August 2008: "I'm going to find out who these very astute people are," said Spodak, 68. "They got the wrong tiger by the tail. They thought they could get away with it."
Wrong tiger by the tail? Looks more like they had a calico cat by the neck. Three months after his lawsuit totally failed and was dismissed, George apparently didn't know and was still running around saying he was getting "close."
George, not ALL attention is good. As it is, there are precious few people left in Manalapan who aren't laughing at you. Why don't you ask your buddy Gerry what Gray said about you last week. LOL.
would somebody advise mr spodak,in a attempt to GO GREEN,the courts will now email any requested transcripts,thus not to waste paper...............oops!!!!!i forgot.nevermind,disregard,abort.
george's lawsuit was dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE. as Esquire can tell you all, that means that the cause of action for defamation still remains open for prosecution once the reasons for dismissal are cured.
So what if the cause of action remains open. No reportable action has been taken by the so-called plaintiff (;)). And it sure seems highly unlikely as if any will ever be.
it's not what he's done that matters; it's what he WILL DO.
Sorry, but your hero has decades of history of uttering empty words of all sorts. In this case, he has failed to show diddley squat of substance, yet again.
Who's advising you clowns, Fred Stone? George's case was dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because he failed to take necessary actions to move the case along -- LIKE SERVING SOMEONE with a summons. Morons. Not only that, but since his case was about things posted in 2007, he can't start another lawsuit anyway, since the year is up. Do the five of you actually know anyone who knows ANYTHING about the law? Maybe if you search real hard you can find a lawyer somewhere who doesn't use the term "Esq" to advise you. Oh wait. You already have, haven't you? It's so much fun watching Larry and George and Fred constantly make fools of themselves. It's even more fun because they don't even realize it.
Those three jokers lack a sense of humor and self-introspection. If they had the former, the latter would come naturally.
