People In Glass Township Committees..........

Recently, da Asbury Park Press printed a story in their newspaper about former Manalapan Township Committeeman Joltin Joe Locricchio. They reported that Joltin Joe "was charged with driving while intoxicated after causing a head-on motor-vehicle collision and fleeing the scene." According to their report, Joltin Joe was claimed to be "highly intoxicated," and "was issued summonses for driving while intoxicated, leaving da scene of a motor vehicle accident, failure to report a motor vehicle accident, reckless driving and careless driving, Lt. Drucker said."

Obviously, this is a very sad state of affairs for Joltin Joe, and of course his family and children. He will have to make a court appearance, and rightly so. To be fair, if all charges are verified, accurate, and true, and he is found guilty by a judge, he will have to face what could quite possibly be a harsh punishment, which is why we in this great nation have laws and punishments to fit crimes that are alleged and must first be proved in a court of law before guilt and a sentence can be doled.

One should feel for he and his family, and especially his children in this time of trouble Joltin Joe faces. If indeed da charges brought against him are verified and he is found guilty, then we all hope and pray he gets da help he needs to get his life and his family's life back in order, and we thank our maker that nobody was injured, or worse.

Unfortunately, however there are those including some in glass houses, that feel it is either fine to kick someone when they are down, or maybe steal that person's crutches, or to laugh at da poor person begging in da street, or make jokes at da pain others feel, or care nothing while others suffer.

Now, daTruthSquad will never turn to da so-called "Hate Website," that is a choice we make because of its content, which in this great nation we have da right to choose, but we do know some TruthTellers who check it for alleged hatred in its postings. Da one thing we at this site will never do is post passages written by their bloggers there, especially passages that we feel can be deemed as hateful. However, what some who have posted there have written about a human being who has, if da charges against him are proved, has hit rock bottom, instead of pity, they have laughed. Instead of showing concern, they give an impression to be throwing a party. Instead of hope for a recovery for da individual, they instead cast possible character assassinations and make heinous statements without verifiable fact, in fact, they give da impression that what happened was something good.

Maybe that's why da blog owner, after da November election when da two local candidates that had all da support of that blog lost by landslide proportions, tried to sell da blog, not one person even offered 5 cents for it.

One poster on da alleged "Hate Website" wrote Joltin Joe "lied and lied," and also called a person at his lowest an "ultimate loser."

A poster also made what could be a written attack against current Manalapan GOP'er Mayor Andy Boy, writing, "who threw his full support into electing this person in 2004?" and "Who helped attack his opponents? Yes, Andy Boy was his running mate in 2004, so why bring him into this? It is obvious Joltin Joe and Andy Boy had a falling out in 2006, well after they teamed to defeat da Democrats by a landslide in 2004, so why ask who was supporting him then? There is absolutely no need to be making accusations against Mayor Andy Boy. Yes, both are GOP'ers, but again, unlike that poster, we will leave Andy Boy out of this since it appears there is no evidence he is involved in any way in this case.

Another post made unsubstantiated claims saying he gave campaign money to another Manalapan GOP'er, da very respected Committeewoman Susan Cohen.

There was even another posting calling Joltin Joe a "piece of $#@&." And one that alleged he was under investigation in another county, and had other arrests, although that poster didn't have a shred of evidence to back up their claims.

First, if some blog allows their bloggers to use obscene language, that's their rules. We at daTruthSquad have much higher standards, and we will keep those standards in place.

Second, unlike some other blogs, we at daTruthSquad like to point out a little thing called "evidence," and another little thing called "proof." You see, to be fair, in a court of law any lawyer will tell you that you actually need these things to win a case. Some people will use "proof" and "evidence" as a punch line. However, lawyers, especially good ones, know you need that to win a case.

Finally, daTruth is, if what is alleged to have been da case for Joltin Joe is true, than indeed he will have to face both a judge and punishment. However, that is up to a judge and a court to decide. He will also have to face his family, and ask for their forgiveness. He will need prayer and strength, and spiritual support, for he will need to make amends.

What daTruthSquad finds amazing is, how some, especially those who are quick to revel in da misery of others, how quickly we have forgotten two cases that put Manalapan on da map of shame.

Remember when da husband/and or wife of a sitting township committeewoman said during a Manalapan Township Committee meeting "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS?" There were some people, including those who had involvement in da local Manalapan Democratic Organization and da committeewoman too who first said it never happened, that is, until an audio tape of da events surfaced and was even played on da radio. Some of these same people even claimed da room burst out in laughter, until a videotape surfaced showing one committeeman who's face showed he was completely shocked, and no laughter to be heard at all. Then some of these same people claimed da fault for da da husband/and or wife of a sitting township committeewoman saying "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS" was because of a senior citizen of Irish descent. Then, in another meeting, a fight nearly broke out involving da wife of da Manalapan Democratic leadership and an Italian-American woman over those hateful statements. Then, whom did they all blame?

That's right, they blamed this blog for exposing what da local Snoozepaper wouldn't. They blamed everyone, that is, except for da person who said such a heinous statement.

Then, of course, there was da law case against daTruthSquad, set in motion by, among other people, da same committeewoman who's husband said "BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS" who voted to approve it. In what some called a vendetta lawsuit, they tried to have a taxpayer-funded team of lawyers who became known as da Manalapan Legal Dream Team take da First Amendment of da Constitution of da United States and feed it into a paper shredder. They lost that case, too, and in doing so, made history as this case has become a legal precedent that apparently has already been used in other cases to protect da First Amendment from those who attempt to tear its parchment paper to pieces, a new defamation case is currently being brought against some politicians and da town they represented and used taxpayer funds from for bringing that 25-month long case in da first place.

So, yes, people in glass Township Committees should not throw stones, and let's let da judge and da legal system do its job, and kick da character assassinations to da curb. Let's pray this soul gets da help he needs, and that his family, especially his children, endure.

Kicking someone while they're down is not amusing, or funny. It's simply childish, and some people, especially with a history, should know better. And, lets also remember that in both da United States of America, and even in Manalapanistan, people are innocent until proven guilty.

And that's daTruth.

Well written. What these low lifes don't understand is that when they write the disgusting things they write, they aren't hurting the reputation of the person they write about, they prove to the world who they themselves are. There are few people in Manalapan who have even the slightest respect for either of the Roths, Wards, Baratta, Fred Stone, or the Bobbsie Georges, Spodak and Hartigan. They have proven themselves to be beneath the standards of civility and the fact that they all jumped on the bandwagon to attack a troubled soul rather than feel any human compassion is a perfect example of why they huddle in their caves alone on that hate site ignored and scorned by the decent people of Manalapan.

I will start by saying I was never a fan of Joe Locricchio. With that said, I find it appauling that some letcherous people would write such vitriol as they have about him. He did something very wrong, and if he is guilty then he should pay for his crimes. However, to say such horrible things about him is absolutely wrong. Shame on all of them. I will say a prayer for Locricchio that he gets the help he deserves.

I did something the Squad apparently won't do, and that is I checked out their site. OMG - what horrible things they wrote. One pathetic loser wrote about Locricchio and drug use, and another investigation they could not confirm.

Squad, you are right. Leave Andrew out of this. And pray for Locricchio.

Hey Squad--I love how you respect the law and will not criticize a hit-and-run drunk driver unless there is a conviction. I guess that means that O.J. was innocent, right? And that you'd never call someone a criminal who settles a civil case with the SEC without admitting any guilt, RIGHT?

Very well written squad... It seems that 2 of the worms that crawl through the dirt on the Curly Cue Hatesite still cannot deal with the fact that Mr. Locricchio and Mr. Lucas beat their wives in the 2004 election...by a landslide... It's a pity what they have become and what their wives have become...and you are so right squad, those in glass township committees should never throw stones...But, they thrive on hurting others for fun. They should look at themselves in the mirror first and then their wives and then really think twice about pointing fingers... I guess some are just "too intoxicated" to realize that they are "ultimate losers" and will never change.

Shame on the whole ugly bunch of them....

Mr. Locricchio only wanted what was best for this town and it's residents and it's children...when he was elected..

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Locricchio and his family..

And God help those who think they can kick this man while he's down..and deliberately make jokes while a human being suffers...

Look in the mirror, folks!!! You worms are no different....

And that's da truth!!!

Maybe the Squad is wrong about this. Maybe everyone should have the right to hit someone when they are down, or spit on them and their kids. Unless their names are Roth, Ward, Baratta, and Stone.

"And that you'd never call someone a criminal who settles a civil case with the SEC without admitting any guilt, RIGHT?"

I wonder if Fred actually reads anything he writes. He can't possibly or he'd be leaving town hoping no one sees him. Here's a guy who thinks no one should criticize the fact that his client had to pay a fine of $180,000,000.00 and he paid a fine and agreed to a suspension to avoid prosecution, that no one should assume he did anything wrong when no person in their right mind would agree to pay that kind of penalty if they were innocent, yet he has spent the last year accusing an attorney of blogging when there isn't an iota of evidence that he has ever blogged, he has denied ever blogging not just "never admitted" it, and Fred has absolutely no reason to think otherwise other than his own sick obsession with the guy. This isn't just hypocrisy. This isn't just a double standard. It's plain stupidity. By the way, I don't see a single post by datruthsquad accusing Fred of what he paid the fine for. Another false accusation by the King of false accusations, Fred Stone.

As an Italian-American, I remember very well the hateful words that came directly from the mouth of Larry Roth, the husband of Michelle Roth who I haven't voted for since.

Larry, don't lecture the people on Kathy's blogsite you coward. Instead, take some blame. You made that heinous statement, Because I hate Italians. Your supporters knew that from day one. You and they looked the other way when lies were told that you didn't say it. You printed and continue to print lies about not saying it - but you know you did and know it's true. You helped create this political Frankenstein, the Brillo Blog. Hope you are pleased to see the true measure of the man you are and those who support you and still support to this day.

Write all you want Larry. By the way, I noticed your business isn't in Gordon's Corner anymore. Was it evicted? It's just a question because nobody on your Brillo Blog talks about it. I would certainly hope that there are no problems with your business. Enough businesses have failed due to the economy. Since you post so much in Brilloland, one could speculate that you're not writing as many press releases anymore. We all hope things are OK.

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure why anyone should feel sorry for someone that drove piss-ass drunk. I feel sorry for all the lives of the families and kids that drunk drivers kill every year because someone couldn't handle some responsibility.

It's besides the point, but the pre-World War II discrimination against Italians and Irish as the "blacks" of Europe is long gone, at least in the Central Jersey area.

On the contrary, these days, Italian-pride often crosses the line to outright discrimination and prejudice against other groups. One example--you ever see those "Italians only" signs around? At a public establishment, that is just wrong.

Anyways, like I said. Besides the point.

Is it true there is a house basement bar with a working tap that certain Brillohead bloggers frequent? It is the same place that a former mayor drinks regularly at? Is it the same place where this former mayor took a cup of tap and drove through town with that tap drink and got stopped?
Is it the same place where these bloggers drink regularly? Is it also the same place that a second former mayor, a legend in this town, drove the first former mayor around with an open cup of tap in the car from that same in house bar? What will people say about that? IMHO people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Anonymous said...

Is it true that "IMHO" means "in my homosexual opinion"?

Anonymous said...

Very interesting point about the "glass houses." It's not like the husband of Manalapan committeewoman Michelle Roth nearly caused a race riot in Manalapan with his anti-Italian comments, or the wife of the Democratic chairman nearly got into a brawl with an Italian Manalapan woman.

While I don't feel sorry for Joe Locricchio, I certainly do for his wife and children. A very sad story.

Anonymous said...

I read this on another website and I nearly threw up. Here again Larry Roth, the person who said he hated Italians in a town meeting now blames someone else for what he did.

Now - - he's blaming Anthony Gennaro!

Here's what he wrote: "And then of course there was the gutless wonder, a former friend and neighbor who had a chance to do the right thing but froze in his tracks. I still have skid marks from the bus that he threw me under."

How dare he blame a greta man like Tony for doing what he did. It was Larry Roth and his wife who threw Tony under the bus by demanding he side with them or else. This piece of garbage has no shame at all.

A certain poster over there, Gerard Ward, posted information pertaining to the former deputy mayor's DMV record, specifically his arrests for allegedly violating 39:4-50. As Mr. Ward should know, the posting of DMV information, as well as any and all Criminal History information is a violation of law. This information, especially that of a person's Criminal History, is CONFIDENTIAL, and cannot, under penalty of law, be disseminated to any non law enforcement entity. He talks about how this former deputy mayor broke the law and how he should be prosecuted before he kills someone, but he, himself has broken the law, too, and thus, is no better.

This was on NJ.com, posted by a great patriot Dennis. I'm going to leave it here, before the anti-First Amendment Squad has it deleted, because the Squad, unlike the hate blog, believes in Freedom of Speech:

4726. I thought the other site was not...
by db7753, 2/11/10 10:58 ET
supposed to be hateful but a free open exchange of ideas. It seems that since a former deputy mayor has a second run in with the law due to driving while impaired, that site decided that the gloves come off and have begun to rip his heart out. I don't care what was said in the past this is mean spirited and vicious and the web mastertte should put a stop to it. Unless that is if she really is enjoying the turn of events. I am not one to cast stones on anyone. I was upset when the "I hate Italians" comment was made but I still had good open dialogue with Ms. Roth. It's water under the bridege as far as I am concerned so why is it surfacing now when someone is down on the street. It would go a long way to bringing us out of the sewer if the participants in this dialogue would just let it go. Spend your time on more fruitful topics and we will all benefit

That's why they call it the HATE WEBSITE. Dennis, you're a good man and you hit the nail on the head.

Here's my opinions, for what they are worth.

At first i thought what larry Roth said was a joke too. But if he was a man he would have owned up to it and that would have more than ended it for me. Instead he blamed everyone else, and it was Tony Gennaro who they demanded take the fall for his actions. That right there ended it for me, and it's my opinion that I must now question whether the anti_italian sentiments were real.

As for Kathy, her writings on her own blogsite and the slanted articles she wrote in the Transcript speak for themselves. I think since she either left or wa fired from the newspaper, and we may never know, the Transcript has done a fine job of improving their image and they are worth reading again.

As for Joseph Locricchio, I never really liked him, but even if I hated him, I would never write the vitriol that has been written about him on kathy's site. It shows 100% what kind of site that really is, and how the "hate" monicker is accurate. His family definitely deserves our prayers.

As for the Squad, I don't always agree with what is written here, but I applaud their right to print it. The lawsuit Roth brought with the town against Stu or whoever runs the Squad was wrong and a waste of taxpayer money. I'm sure one day the Squad will retire or just go away, and if that happens I won;t shed a tear. But they have the right to free speech, and everyone has the right to reply, and that's what this country was founded upon.

My opinions only.

KB I honestly dont understand what you are reading but I was simply reacting to the attack you made against me AGAIN. Bringing up a term I made about your ex employer -well what can I say other than thats is the truth. A term used by many in this town about that paper when you were there. It has grown up a lot since you left and I will be the first to admit that. As for LR you are correct No one on your group site makes remarks as vile as you say. I agreed by calling them idiots. Seems KB only reads what she wants to read. What I object to is simply that I thought that site of yours was supposed to be above that. Well I have read vulgarities and extremely tasteless language out of the potty mouth of its webmasterette and GW and FS and the others How do you all profess to be better when you do the same. The concept is profound KB. Now you simply need to follow your goal and not stoop to the level you detest.

"potty mouth" is datruthsuad's favorite word, so that means you are datruthsuad, or stu is writing your material. when someone calls you a muddafugga, it's not really saying that you fugged your mudda. but when soeone calls you a pedophile, people might start believing it. so tell the truth--would you rather drink a beer with someone who calls you a muddafugga, or with someone who lies and says you molest little kiddies? i know the real answer, and i also know that the reason you are a shill for the great defamer is because you know he'll attack you--as he has so many others--the exact minute that you disagree with him. he's evil and dangerous, and you know it.

You obviously have supporters here, and too much hatred on the other site.

Zachtesla is Fred Stone. He's admitted as such. That post, along with the posts that respond to it were deleted by Fred when the responder pointed out that Fred constantly cries that no one should accuse him of securities fraud when he never admitted to it, even though he agreed to pay a fine, agreed to pay a suspension, and his client agreed to pay $180,000,000.00; yet he has no problem constantly making false accusations against Stu, claiming that he posts here, there and everywhere, and that he is datruthsquad, which is ridiculous for so many reasons, not the least of which now two court cases that proved otherwise, yet Fred has NEVER and never will, obviously, come up with proof of that false accusation. I believe the poster pointed out that Fred is a hyprocite and disgusting for constantly making such unsubstantiated allegations while crying that people are accusing him of what was published in all the newspapers in the land.

Anonymous said...

I know this has been said enough, but for the thousandth time, the difference between what we read on this site and Kathy's HATE BLOG is the following: no one has ever sent terroristic threats from this blog. No one has ever threatened murder from this blog, or wished bodily injury, or mocked someone's pain. No one has accused anyone of being a woman of questionable morals on this blog. No one calls anyone a crack addict on this blog. No one has talked about people's personal hygene or lack thereof on this blog. No one has ever said anything about unemployed bloggers on other websites on this blog. No one has ever accused anyone of being a child molester on this site. And nobody who ever said BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS, or WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE SEC is registered to post comments here, as far as I know. That's why people like to read this site.

Anonymous said...

"Investigated by the SEC". He wasn't just investigated, he was fined and suspended. That's a reported fact. Official SEC documents show it. He was fined for falsifying mutual fund records -- in other words for lying. Keep that in mind when you read his claims that some other lawyer has been blogging. Those claims are as legitimate as Fred's bogus mutual fund companies.

Anonymous said...

Here's what I think is amusing. On the HATE website, you have one guy who professed his hatred for Italians, another fined by the SEC for alleged fraud, and a third who sued the township at taxpayer expense three times (and lost all three) becausehe didn't like the outcome of elections. Does the word "HYPOCRITE" ring a bell.

What Locricchio did was very wrong and he deserves to face judge for it. But it's interesting how DTS got this one right. People who live in glass houses indeed.

Anonymous said...

Well,here's the thing. Fred is claiming Stu has posted emails. Fred has been caught lying time and time again. He paid a fine for lying. He was suspended for lying. He denied he ever did what his client willingly paid a $180,000,000.00 fine for. Stu on the other hand has NEVER been caught lying. The liars have claimed Stu has lied, but that's not the same as Stu lying. So, on this one, I'm gonna go with those emails aren't worth George Spodak's spit --- or Fred's Bathrobe for that matter.

wait, wait. Let me make sure I understand what Larry Roth is saying here. Larry is saying 1. Stu wrote an email to Fred saying Larry didn't say anything bad about Italians, and 2. Stu is a liar. Doesn't that mean Larry is admitting he intended to slur the Italians when he made his little speech? I mean, isn't that just simple logic. FINALLY, after years of waiting for an honest admission from Larry, we have it. Well, sort of.

Sooner or later, people like the ones who post on the HATE website will do something stupid or illegal, and they will face legal punishment. I'm sure they will not be too unhappy when others hold parties and laugh and joke at their own personal pain, much like they are doing to Joe right now.

How it stands as of now said...

As no one has been able to say just where those alleged e-mail messages are posted, we will all just have to conclude that this is just more worthless tripe of the sort we have been seeing all too often for several years now. Too bad an Ivy League education has been wasted on infantile lies.

You people will never believe this, that Joe Locricchio has been living in Manalapan and is totally disgusted with the same political nonsense and how they took the tax cuts from 2005 and 2006 and have raised taxes over 40 percent since he has been out of office. From what I am hearing he is going to run this year, first in the primary, and then in the general election, so the people of Manalapan will actually have someone on the township committee that actually does what he promises. If you remember in 2004 when he was elected, he promished tax cuts which he led the task force and bi-partisan cooperation and did in not only in 2005 but in 2006 as well. He promised to lower the school tax deferral and he did it. He promised ambulances, and he got not 1 but 2. He promised to expand the Rec. center and he did it. He promised to preserve land and did more preserving in two years than any other committee person did in the history of Manalapan. He was a visible daily presence at Town Hall unlike everyone who only show their face occasionally. I hope to God he is running again, because he's got my vote.

It's hilarious to see you try to defend DRUNK DRIVING and try to knock down someone's husband for saying something mildly prejudicial. Of the two, I prefer an out of line comment that won't kill anyone versus the complete irresponsibility of driving under the influence. Some countries shoot you for driving drunk because it's such a big deal (and yes they are modern democracies).

Stick with what you're good at--unveiling impropriety and wasted funds and bad policy which benefits us all. This post is just ridiculous, and you look unintelligent.

"good people in office in manalapan running a bipartisan government." Really? LOL. Let's see. There was Michelle Roth, who has cost the township hundreds of thousands of dollars with her vendettas against half the people in town hall, including the latest, her obsession with the Chief. There is Blue Boy Andy, who was caught "visiting" his wife in Freehold, raised taxes 50%, embarrassed the township when he ran for Freeholder, was caught taking a free ride to Trenton from Brunelli, was caught by Mark Rosman trying to forge a letter to the editor, turned on every running mate he ever had, virtually threw his entire party under the bus, was the principal instigator of the litigation to nowhere and is now back as mayor absolutely clueless as to how to manage the town. There was Rick "you answer to me" Klauber. There was Drew "screw you dad" Shapiro. Don, "wake me when the meeting's over" Holland. Yeh, really, really good people.

Da REAL Truth said...

Face da truth. Manalapan can't attract someone with real executive talent to serve in office because it's a tiny town with no real budget as are most New Jersey towns. That's the real reason this blog has so much fun wasting hours on all these clowns (though a bit partisan sometimes--afterall they are ALL clowns). I don't know if the county is the right level or a merger of two or three or four neighboring towns is the way to go, but I know that as it is, these "small towns", Manalapan and all around us, are just cesspools of incompetence, inefficiency, and inconsequential-ness.

These small-time politics might be nothing but it's is nothing compared with the huge number of big-time employers leaving da Monmouth County area. Even if you aren't directly affected, this is going to be a huge hole in Monmouth County for decades to come from the decrease in spending and use of any services. There is NO PLAN what-so-f-ing-ever from ANYONE because the towns are too small, and the county has no power and no real budget. Who is fighting to stop this from happening or increasing our area's competitiveness or attracting new big employers? Not even a peep as da Titanic sinks.

What'dya say you show some concern about da REAL issues?

Martin, I can't tell whether you're talking about Andy Boy, Larry Roth or a certain former Manalapan mayor who will remain nameless???????

If it is one of those people, you make a great point.

I love how Fred Stone spends every waking moment engaged in character assassination and falsification, falsely accusing people of doing what does all day long, posting disgusting attacks, and then he turns around and says OTHER people are doing it. What a loser. This man has no life left whatsoever. Since the security scam, this man has simply been a total waste of a human being.

Da truth is your one-line zinger doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

The county budget is very misleading because it is spent on mandated maintenance and construction of roads, on parks, and on jails. The county doesn't collect taxes--municipalities and the state do.

The real power in New Jersey to get things done lies at the township and state levels. However, the township is too small and weak, and the state, like Washington, is remote and often disconnected from local concerns. It's a very unfortunate situation, and there's just a structural problem that leads to having these clowns all over the place not just here, but in many towns all across the county and state.

Maybe Stu needs to learn a little more about Fred's relationship to Paul Weiss as a client.

Maybe Stu doesn't care one whit about the fiction in Fred's distorted mind about his being a client of a powerful law firm. It is not the least bit likely that a class operation like Paul Weiss would go anywhere near pond scum like Fred. Nor is the least bit likely that Stu would care if Fred were a client there. Fred, get over yourself. You're hardly what your inflated ego thinks you are. You are a distorted, discredited individual who brought shame on himself and his clients by being dishonest, and continues to bring shame on himself by proving you simply have nothing better to do with your life than obsess over Stu. That's all you are Fred. Nothing more. I guarantee you whatever influence you may have had once, Stu has far more influence with far more New York law firms than you will ever have again. Why on earth would you think, given who you've become and what you are doing with your time, that anyone anywhere would have any respect for you?

The fact that Fred needs to keep threatening Stu shows how feeble Fred has become. People who can do, don't threaten. They just do. Fred can only threaten and bloviate on blogsites, proving every day how effete and inconsequential he's become.

Gee, those lines on my property tax bill for "County Tax" and "County Library Tax" must be imaginary figments. If you give advice not to pay them, please leave your contact information so that you can provide live counsel.

Keep up that smug self-righteousness, it'll get you real far. All I can say is, don't miss the forest for the trees. For normal people, our serious taxes and public policy happens at the federal, state, and municipal levels. Monmouth County is a wealthy area, but there are fundamental changes happening that means Monmouth is completely uncompetitive in terms of business.

We can keep thinking about better pizzas, better parks, and lower property taxes (which I agree are all good things), but in da end, you gotta have a job and that's a problem for more and more residents of the area. And da facts don't even show up in the jobless rates because they are long-term structural changes, not because of a downturn.
