BREAKING NEWS: Can Ryan Green's Questions Potentially Force Da Queen To Recuse Herself From "Contaminated Acres" Approval?
Here's something you may not know - it seems as though any time da Manalapan Township Committee has a vote on anything real estate-related, Committeewoman Susan Cohen is forced to recuse herself simply because she is a real estate agent.
This means that Susan Cohen has taken herself out of votes on anything real estate-related, even if there was no way she could even remotely profit from it, such as COAH-enabled votes.
Here's an interesting question submitted by one of da TruthTellers --- What if you are on da Manalapan Township Committee, are you allowed to vote on any real estate project, or any building project, especially one related to COAH obligations, IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TAKEN LARGE POLITICAL DONATIONS FROM DEVELOPERS?????
That was an interesting question. We'll have to answer that one soon. Meanwhile......
Da Village project has been through committees and studies for da last seven years, and is still being debated. It's a project stalled by traffic impact studies, debates on if Manalapan really needs business to generate tax income, what should be built there, if anything should be built there, if some want it, if other's don't, if Route 33 should be kept without business, if a "Mega-Mall" should be built just over the Manalapan border in Monroe, who should profit from Manalapan tax money, should Manalapan just become a conduit of traffic for shoppers heading to Old Bridge, Marlboro, Freehold and Monroe, and so on.
However, some are finding it very interesting that a COAH project, coming at a time when da Democrat-led State Senate and Assembly are pursuing doing away with COAH, something da new governor already said he will sign into law, is being pushed through faster than probably any construction project of its kind in town history. Why?
Why is a COAH low-income housing complex being pushed through at breakneck speeds, when da state seems to be working at da very same speed to do away with COAH and all da COAH requirements towns face?
Why is Manalapan working so fast - just one Planning Board meeting - questions on if any traffic studies or if any impact studies have been done - and why is Manalapan's Township Committee ready to spend $1.6 million in taxpayer money to subsidize this -- all while da state is working to do away with COAH requirements?
Why is this happening on a piece of land that neighboring Englishtown says will be detrimental to them? Why is this happening on a piece of land that will seriously impact Route 522?
Oh, and this same piece of land is also called a "Brownfield," due to contamination after an oil facility was there for decades.
It started to wonder to daTruthSquad if maybe, just maybe, someone was going to be benefitting financially from all of this?
Then somebody raised an interesting question posted by someone who was commenting on one of daTruthSquad's blog postings. It read, "Hey Squaddo, maybe instead of wasting our time with much ado nothing, maybe you should be looking into who is going to profit if this COAH disaster on Route 522 in Manalapan is built. Better yet, maybe you should be spending your time, counselor, on who has already profited from COAH in Manalapan. I sent this same note to da Transcript, so if you want to find "da" answer to this, you'd better act quickly."
After reading that post, it dawned on us that someone knew something, but for osme reason they did not want to answer their own question. So, maybe we should.
We ordered da TruthTeller's Special A-1 No-Nonsense Blue Ribbon Investigative Unit to look into this posting. What we found was indeed disturbing.
According to evidence obtained from da State of New Jersey ELEC records - information that was submitted directly from da Roth for State Assembly campaign shows there were donations to her 2009 State Assembly campaign that came directly from not only developers and those involved in construction, but specifically from developers who are specifically involved with da construction of affordable housing units!
But wait - it get's even more interesting..........
Are you ready for some more questions that probably deserve an answer or two???
Question 1: What is Barton Partners and who is Thomas Barton?
Question 2: Ever hear of a company called Tara Developers and a nice gentleman named Robert Kahan?
Question 3: While we're on that subject, you may be wondering what CIS is and who another nice individual named Mark Issa is?
Question 4: Why was da developer's name changed so quickly and without any questions or apparently no objections for the planned "Roth Renewal at Contaminated Acres?"
Of course, since this is da Passover Holiday we felt "Da Four Questions" were in order.
Now, let's try to answer some of these questions....
Answer 1: Barton Partners of Norristown, Pennsylvania near Trenton is a fine company that has already done business in Manalapan. They were specifically involved in da construction of Heritage Village at Manalapan on Woodward Road ("100 Independent living units (700 to 900 sf) (Affordable, Seniors Midrise, Subsidized Housing).
Oh, and according to ELEC records from da 2009 election submitted by da Roth campaign, Thomas Barton gave $350 to da Roth Campaign when she ran for State Assembly - da same Michelle Roth who sits on da Manalapan Planning Board and on da Township Committee.
Answer 2: Tara Developers, based in Trenton and near Bordentown according to their own website, says they are "Since 1994, Tara Developers has been actively involved in affordable housing developments."
Oh, and according to ELEC records from da 2009 election submitted by da Roth campaign, Robert Kahan from Tara Developers gave $350 to da Roth Campaign when she ran for State Assembly - - da same Michelle Roth who sits on da Manalapan Planning Board and on da Township Committee.
Answer 3: CIS, based in Bordentown and near Cherry Hill, once had a VP named Mark Issa, who is now da President of CIS Construction. His company also is involved in da construction of affordable and senior housing units - and had a hand in Heritage Village at Manalapan.
Oh, and according to ELEC records from da 2009 election submitted by da Roth campaign, Mark Issa gave a whopping $5000 to da Roth Campaign when she ran for State Assembly!!!
Answer 4: Should we even go there at this point?
DaTruth is, and da proof comes from da State of New Jersey's government ELEC website and not from some "Hate" website, Michelle Roth has been da beneficiary of campaign contributions from three (3) companies and officers of those companies, two of which have been specifically confirmed as doing work in Manalapan - specifically with COAH obligated housing units - da very same type of housing she has backed and is backing again for da controversial and potentially contaminated site on Route 522!
Forget about da fact that a fine legal eagle and member of da WMUA who gets a salary and benefits from da WMUA, paid for by Manalapan residents and supported by da Queen, also gave $200 to her campaign last year. That's for another day. As for today, here's da question you have to ask yourself:
Why is Committeewoman Susan Cohen forced to recuse herself from votes regarding real estate issues, including COAH which she cannot even make a dime off of, but Michelle Roth is allowed to vote on COAH construction, and is a leader on da planning board, and she has received election campaign money from three developers that we know of that handle affordable housing -- two that specifically did business in Manalapan --- and she is allowed to vote on COAH-related projects?
Are we missing something here?????
Now, to be fair, it should be noted that at this time, da Queen has not done anything illegal by taking political contributions from anyone - even developers - even those who have done business in Manalapan - and are tied to COAH --- Question-raising, but not illegal --- and ethically curious, but not illegal. There is no direct evidence that da Queen has taken any campaign contributions from any member of da Ingerman Group, who wants to build this alleged 3-story apartment building / complex in Manalapan, which will cost Manalapan taxpayers $1.6 million from their COAH fund, to satisfy a COAH responsibility that may be moot in da coming months, and one that many other towns, including Marlboro, is suspending pending what da state does with COAH. Ask yourself, would you buy something you knew would be obsolete in a few months? Would you buy a black & white TV knowing that 3D TV's are coming out this year? Would you buy a two megapixel camera when a 10-12 megapixel camera is the standard now? In a way, that's what da Manalapan Township Committee wants to do with YOUR TAX DOLLARS!
DaTruth is, a simple Google search of "MBI Development Company" shows companies easily able to be found, based in Bosnia, Malaysia, and somewhere else in Europe. You really have to do some dredging to find this company in the US of A, and ironically, its a part of the Ingerman company, the same one that gave their demonstration that raised more questions than it answered.
Now, if you have questions, feel free to ask, but get ready for some more.
From a psychological standpoint, when you want to get one over on someone, you accuse them of something to place them on da defensive. According to da Snoozer in a report done by actual news guy Mark Rosman, "Roth called Green’s comments about the proposed "Contaminated Acres" Wood Avenue affordable housing project “grandstanding for the television cameras at the committee meeting."
Why is da Queen making this accusation - especially since Planning Board meetings aren't televised???? Could it be because she is a member of da Manalapan Planning Board - and has been for years? Is it possible that could be a reason? Could Green, who has been opposed to this project since word of it became knowledge, be casting light on something that could make some people uncomfortable?
To be fair, let's ask a few questions about Ryan Green, based upon da "grandstanding" comments of Queen Michelle ---
Is it really Ryan Green's intentions to get his face on da TV camera of a meeting that isn't televised? Does Ryan Green like to imagine himself on TV? Could Ryan Green have issues with how Manalapan spends it's tax dollars? Is it possible that Ryan Green dreams of becoming a TV news guy, and maybe even practices that craft in front of his bathroom mirror? Or - maybe - just maybe - Ryan Green was not at all happy that Michelle Roth got more face time on YouTube than he has by calling herself a "fiscally conservative Democrat. Most Republicans are shocked that I am more fiscally conservative than they are" - (daTruthSquad's computer nearly imploded, our patented "Truth-O-Meter" began spinning uncontrolably backwards and my pacemaker nearly shorted out when we saw this).
As we have said before, you really can't make this stuff up.
DaTruth is, what Ryan Green has done here is commendable to say da very least. His next step may be - and should be - to order an investigation at da township level to see if any member of da Manalapan Township Committee has received any donations from developers or builders or those involved in construction - especially those involved in COAH issues. That's what daTruthSquad would do - and if da township says "no way, Jose," then maybe that same request should be made to Paula Dow's offices in Trenton.
DaTruth is, you can't ask or order someone to recuse themselves from a vote if someone else who is voting is tied in any way to that project, or tied in any way to da scope of a project of that type, which would include taking money from developers of that type for projects that were already built (before or after da fact) in town that that same person may or may not have voted on in their capacity of township duties.
Kudos to Ryan Green for standing up for daTruth in this matter. Kudos to Mark Rosman for writing a professional fair and balanced report on da issue devoid of press releases and one-sided reporting. And as for da Manalapan Township Committee, with this information now available for all to see, it may be time for Mayor Andy Boy to side with Committeeman Green and demand da Queen recuse herself from da "Contaminated Acres" issue - and quite possibly reopen da matter entirely from square one - as has been done with da Village in da past - especially since $1.6 million dollars of Manalapan taxpayer money and COAH obligations could soon be as extinct as da dinosaurs.
And that's daTruth.
This means that Susan Cohen has taken herself out of votes on anything real estate-related, even if there was no way she could even remotely profit from it, such as COAH-enabled votes.

I want to congratulate da truth squad for bringing to the public's attention that an elected politicial is supporting something that is favored by one of his or her campaign contibutors!! This is totally shocking and no doubt the first time this has ever happened in the history of American politics.
I couldn't believe the video. It proves that some politicians will say ANYTHING to get elected. If Roth is a fiscal conservative than the Pope is Muslim.
J Harly, who bears a certain resemblance to an out of work lawyer who has serious issues with the SEC, seems to think pay to play is OK.
Squad, you never seem to not amaze us.
OMG! Squad, if this is true then you may have just caused a few people to pick out their jailhouse wardrobe.
Chris Christie will have a field day investigating this. Looks like the Hilton Stockade could have a few more guests.
Congratulations Squad. You just made the link that nobody has been able to prove, that developers have given money to Michelle Roth, the same ones that have done business and profited from business in Manalapan!
Chris Christie, are you listening????
Slimy Michelle Roth received donations from the builders and she still voted? Shame shame shame and another shame.
I completely disagree with the first comment here. Here in Linden we have had this same problem, and it still costs taxpayers. Cranford has had the same problem and my friends there may have it worse. As a reader of this blog, I feel for your residents. You can't have a politician taking cash from developers who did work in your town, because even if there was nothing ot it, it shows a disturbing pattern and gives the ilusion of pay to play. If Manalapan is smart, the mayor will order an investigation at once. Hopefully, they will find nothing wrong, but still it smells funny and should be checked out.
Is there really anyone surprised that Michelle Roth, who claims to have never taken money from developers, not only took money from developers but took money from developers who did work in Manalapan that she probably voted for?
After watching that video of Roth claiming she is a fiscal conservative, is there really anyone who wouldn't claim she is the state's biggest hypocrite? The person who voted for the town's largest tax increases in history is a fiscal conservative?
No wonder Manalapan is in the condition its in.
I don't like it when someone goes behind my back. That person knows who they are.
Squaddo, it's nice to see that unlike the Transcript, you can follow "da" breadcrumbs. You owe me one.
Congratulations to Michelle Roth. Just when you thought Manalapan politics couldn't go any lower, you read this blog and surprise, Roth and her cronies take us another step lower.
Again, for the sycophants who read this garbage and have no clue as to how life really works, Michelle Roth is a fine upstanding citizen who is going to receive an award's dinner in her honor. I don't see Stu who should be disbarred Moskovitz being awarded for anything, with the execption of cowardice. The donations Michelle received were all legal. There was nothing improper about them. So a developer gave her a tiny donation. That doesn't mean ANYTHING! Get a life people. You think your pal Christie never received a questionable donation for 20 times what Michelle received? No wonder nobody reads this blog.
Now it's time for Andrew Lucas to do the right thing and join with Ryan Green and block the Contaminated Acres project. Or, maybe "da" next set of breadcrumbs will lead his way, much like the last ones led to some of Roth's contributors.
I have discussed with a lawyer how the people of Englishtown can stop the COAH disaster that Manalapan's political losers want to erect by our border. Don't be too surprised if there is a lawsuit to stop it happens once the fools on the Manalapan Township Committee decide to vote for it. You may be lining your pockets, but the people of Manalapan will be the real losers when their taxes go up to pay for a lawsuit for this.
"Again, for the sycophants who read this garbage and have no clue as to how life really works, Michelle Roth is a fine upstanding citizen"
Larry, you're pathetic. Really, you are. You need to get a job. We understand your business has failed and you've got lots of time on your hands. We understand you're jealous and obsessed with Stu. You've made that point clear for a year now. But calling your wife a "fine upstanding citizen?" LOL. You must be joking. She is the laughingstock of Monmouth County. You know as well as anyone, she guaranteed them a certain donation if they "honored" her to try to get her name back and remove the very deep and very deserved stain on her reputation. Since you mentioned Stu, try as hard as you might, you won't see that he ever took a penny from developers. Your wife, on the other hand, has financed her entire campaign with developer's money. Comparing your wife to Stu is a very bad move on your part Larry. There's no way your Italian hating, police hating, evil wife measures up. Everyone else but you and Fred the SEC bandit realizes that.
"I don't see Stu who should be disbarred Moskovitz being awarded for anything, with the execption of cowardice." You see, Larry, when you say things like that, you just make people laugh at you. You just prove time and again, you're not just a weasel, you're not just a hater, but you're also a silly little man. As hard as your wife has tried, neither she nor anyone else has ever been able to find anything that would even remotely be a breach of ethics on Stu's part, Larry. Unlike your wife, who took donations from developers she helped out while in office. And to call Stu a coward is laughable. He's stood up to the corruption in Manalapan more than any other resident of Manalapan. That's hardly cowardice. Blaming others for your Anti-Italian comment, blaming others for your losing two elections, blaming others for every dumb thing you and your sycophant wife have done over the last several years --- THAT'S cowardice. Try again Larry. We enjoy the laughs. It's kind of like you saying Stu has no clients when he keeps expanding his business while you're closing your office and working - in violation of zoning ordinances -- out of your home.
Joey D for Mayor of Manalapan! A man who will stand up to the scum who want to raise our taxes and take our hard earned O.T. money. Let these losers get a real job. NO TAX INCREASES> LOWER OUR TAXES! Only a man with a stiff spine and balls can lower taxes. That man is JOEY DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
Is this their campaign slogan ?
Lower your taxes as fast as can be vote for the man with balls that's Joey D.
Joey D did prove himself as a Chris Christie budget busting republican. I would vote for Joey D. If he has big balls all the better.
If Joe D is the catalyst for stopping this tax hike in its tracks, then he should run for township committee. Not only will he have my vote, but as a Republican I'll take that vote from Andy who has raised my taxes.
Stu, in his unmistakable style, proves once again that he's the only one posting here except for a few honest poeple like that fine gentleman, J. Harley Scrivner.
"You know as well as anyone, she guaranteed them a certain donation if they "honored" her to try to get her name back and remove the very deep and very deserved stain on her reputation."
1. How could she afford this if the Roths are destitute as you allege?
2. So you're saying that Stu's own congregation trades honors for money and is therefore corrupt?? I would expect Stu to resign from Sons of Israel instantly and join the Veshnefsky congregation!
'9/03/08 -- The "HIDDEN" Truth!
If you ever wondered why this blog is both popular and a haven for the "Truth," look no further than the latest "Bozo-torial" in the local Snoozepaper!'
highly revealing that you put "truth" in quotes.
Anyone who has the balls to lower my taxes will have my vote in November, period. Let the person with the bigger set win.
you can bet your house that if the republicans are dumb enough to nominate Andrew Lucas, the owner of the largest tax hike in Manalapan's history, Joey D will run as an independent and siphon enough votes away to make sure the democrats win. Nominating Andrew is political suicide for the republican party. Especially since it's likely he'll be sued minutes after he's nominated for wasting taxpayer's money on a frivolous lawsuit.
Two things:
1. I agree with the previous comment. If you lower my taxes you get my vote. if you raise them, we vote your $%# out of office.
2. After seeing the video of Michelle Roth, I think it's pretty clear she wouldn't know the truth if she ate it. If she's a "fiscal conservative," then so was Corzine, and Mcgreevey was straight.
Here's my plan for the elections this year. I will vote against any school budget that raises taxes. If my town raises taxes, I will vote whoever raised it out without excuses. The freeholder will be voted out simply because they are an incumbent. Period.
As a Republican and proud of it, I will not be voting for Lucas this year. He raised my taxes for the last three years. I want no part of him in office. He will be voted out and he deserves to be. I hope he has his own health insurance, because after this year he won't be getting it from the state anymore for free.
Joey D for Manalapan Township Committee!
Joey D is a typical Manalapan working man who sweats for his money not some rich Ivy league out of touch soft handed man. We need someone to fight for the average working class man already. Lower our taxes!
Who can it be? It's Joey D!
Let me be very clear about this - if this COAH disaster is approved, I will vote against anyone who votes in favor of it. I live off Route 522 and my commute through Englishtown will become an even worse nightmare. If you vote for it, I and my neighbors will vote you out of office.
There should be no surprise if Englishtown files a lawsuit against Manalapan if Roth's COAH housing project is approved. Roth's developer friends who give her donations better also be ready to give to Manalapan taxpayers, because they will be paying for this lawsuit.
Joey D, if you run for Manalapan Township Committee, you will have a lot more support than you bargained for.
there goes Fred again, sitting in his basement in his tin foil hat obsessing about Stu. Fred, get a job. You're boring everyone.
You got to hand it to Fred, he never misses an opportunity to prove he has oatmeal for a brain. Just because she guaranteed the synagogue a certain amount of money to be "honored" doesn't mean they haven't trashed their business. The proof of their trashed business is the fact that they've closed their office. Of course, we wouldn't expect a guy who claims that his client's paying 180,000,000 fine and his being suspended means he did anything wrong to mean that closing your office implies anything about the state of your business. The "guarantee" was that there would be certain full page gold and silver ads bought by township vendors and developers, not Michelle's own money. But I suspect Fred knew that even while he was insanely ranting.
Joey D for TC?!
Because what these challenging economic times call for is a home-exterior power-washer.
I'm sure he can blast the mold off your siding like nobody else but how does or did that prepare him for holding municipal office. Being he's a sole employee with one truck, please explain how that prepares him to oversee the fiscal responsibilities of an entire town.
And when did being an Ivy-Leaguer become a liability and a semi-literate sycophant a plus?
We are, all of us, screwed if this is what we have come to.
Who is this Fred? I thought we were talking about COAH.
I'd vote for a power washer with one truck and one employee who can stand up to the powers and demand to lower taxes any day over someone who runs a PR firm out of their house and takes money from COAH developers, or a guy who still lives with his mom and dad and wife when she wasn't living in Freehold.
I see the Joey D bashing has begun. That's a typical move by the Roth-Lucas alliance to deflect blame from their actions. Deflect and blame others, a classic Roth maneuver.
Instead of bestowing a false honor on someone like the taker of developer donations Michelle Roth, I think Sons of Israel should instead be honoring the Great Joey D!!
No, Stu never took money from a developer. Yes, Michelle Roth did! She did more than once!
Thanks Squad for proving what we all believed all along but never hgad proof of until now.
Joey D. is smarter than those Ivy league educated tax raising, slum building pieces of $@+t.
At least Joey D is smart enough to spend within our means and lower taxes which is something the Ivy league crowd is too stupid to get.
Manalapan lower our taxes to set us free, vote for a hard working man it's Joey D.
He'll powerwash high taxes down the drain as fast as can be, VOTE FOR JOEY D!
I think at the next township committee meeting Michelle Roth has some serious explaining to do. You can't laugh off taking money from developers like they do over at the HATE website. This is very serious. At the very least, she should give the money back, and prove it with copies of the checks because at this point, especially after seeing that "fiscal conservative" video, there is nobody except for her "Because I Hate Italians" husband and Kathy Baratta who will believe her.
Andy Lukass should have thought twice about who he was befriending. Michelle Roth's taking money from COAH developers and her other antics will be tied around his neck like an albatross during this election. Republicans may have a hard time supporting the person who raised taxes to its highest level in history in Manalapan, and supports Roth.
It looks like Manalapan's B of E is backtracking on their planned tax increase due to outrage from taxpayers.
I think there are two people to thank for that. Joe Depasquale who had the guts to stand up and side with the taxpayers, and the Truth Squad for bringing to light what Depasquale did and what the B of E tried to do. Thank you from a Manalapan taxpayer.
hey michelle, tell us whether you ever received money from OTHER POLITICIANS? who may or may not--you didn't want to ask, right?--have taken money from developers. the king of slimeballs keeps getting slimier.
It's scary that Michelle Roth either believes she is a fiscal conservative, or has no problem with saying anything to anyone to get herself elected to another political office. This is about as slimy as it gets. Where is Steve McEnery blasting this video for mocking Republicans? As a Republican, I am shocked he has been silent on this as has Andrew Lucas. I would have to guess at this point that the rumors of Roth, Ward, Lucas and McEnery all being in bed together to keep their political power intact has some truth to it.
Joey D for Manalapan Township Committee!
Joey D, you should run for Manalapan Township Committee. If McEnery disses you again, pick a good running mate and go it on an independent line. I'll bet you can get donations from people who have had enough with the Roth-Lucas alliance. A win by you would also mean McEnery would lose his support as Municipal Chair. Do it Joey D - help Manalapan!
DTS, watch your back. I hear from my embedded sources the HATE Website people aren't too happy with you finding that Roth video.
It was very embarassing for them.
Joey D is an advocate for the people. Maybe he should run for Manalapan Township committee. He has my vote.
I have two gauges on how I will vote in Manalapan this year.
If you approve this COAH low income apartment complex, I will vote for your opponent.
If you raise my taxes, I will vote for your opponent.
And I'm not alone.
I watched the video of Roth. Two words:
PATHOLIGICAL
LIAR
I just opened up the dictionary to the phrase "I'll say anything to anyone to get elected."
There was a picture of Michelle Roth's face next to the quote. The safest thing to do is when she speaks, just believe the opposite.
As for the video, believe it or not, it's a video of a campaign speech Michelle gave last year in her Assembly race in which she described herself as a fiscal conservative, which the folks over in the HATE website now are cynically trying to portray as a completely embarrassing truth, when in fact it's perfectly a portrayal of someone lying their a$$ off and completely untruthful. this is KB and her 3 followes brilliant strategy of trying to get their little tea-partiers to rise in protest when the republicans nominate andrew for re-election, because they know andrew will do whatever he is told by michelle to do and the real republicans hate that. they also know he's doing a horrible job running a bi-partisan administration and is a laughingstock to the republican party. all the while, except for larry's band of extremist neo-john corzine leftest high-school dropouts, decent and moderate democrats and republicans throughout the town know that Stu Moskovitz is going to try to manufacture a far-right takeover of the republican party and will mean the end of democracy in manalapan and the beginning of a regime that will make Madame Defarge look like Tinker Bell by comparison. and this also shows that there's obviously not enough prozac in the world.
The video is from a campaign event at Brookdale Community College (10/17/09)when Michelle ran for Assembly. Michelle was summarizing her experience and how she became interested in local government. Apparently the sound was low as to not allow anyone to hear her supporters snickering at her blatent falsehoods, while the others vomited in disgust.
Actually, it's a damn good speech. Thank you DTS for publicizing it. Now everyone can see how the Roth spin machine operates. There's 3 settings. Sleaze, Blatently Sleazy, and Downright Lies. If she's a "Fiscal Conservative, then Larry Roth is the King of Italy and Fred Stone has never been in trouble with the SEC and Kathy is a real journalist.
With a comment like that, now I sound like Michelle.
Lower our taxes Joey D. for Mayor!!
With all the buzz about Joey D. and his courage to hold the line on taxes maybe it's time to give the average Manalapan working man a chance on the town council. The College educated out of touch elite who always seem to get elected have lost touch with the common folk.
Joey D could be what Manalapan needs to lower taxes and stand up to the tax and spend ways of the Ivy League snobs. Joey D as a small business operator knows what the average Manalapan citizen is going through. I would give Joey D my vote if he runs.
yeah, like let's make sure that ivy league snob moskovitz from the U of P never gets back in power in manalapan. he's proven he hates italians by not resigning from Sons of Israel.
squad--
shouldn't it be illegal for labor unions to contribute to pro-labor congressmen unless those congressmen then recuse themselves from voting on any issue that affects the labor movement?
"Rabbi Pilavan, I think Michelle Roth is an excellent choice for this year's honoree!"
To Guiseppe:
Dude you are seriously lacking proper medication. Obviously you are a very deranged individual who is a danger to society, or one of the regular posters on KB's hate website.
Either way, you need professional help.
Guiseppe is one of the HATE website people. Obviously, since only four people post comments there, that limits the possibilities. Interesting how 3 of them are unemployed, and the other can't afford an office and works out of their house. That tells you the type of people who comment there.
That Roth video is sick. But you have to give Michelle Roth credit where credit is due, and admit I made a serious mistake. I never in my life thought anyone could lie worse than George Bush and Dick Cheney. I was wrong. Very wrong.
I checked out KB's group of illiterates. Now they're claiming what they wrote was rewritten by others. These people are really jumping off the deep end. Maybe Larry Roth doesn't like when someone writes BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS. Maybe that's because he said it first and wants all the credit to himself?
Is this the same Fred Stone who lives in Manalapan who "willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act?"
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/33-8639.pdf
Pretty bad person IMHO.
Yes StoneEC, he's guilty as charged. The SEC doesn't lie. Of course, I'm sure Moskovitz is to blame, or at least that's what the hate site will say.
Joey D for Manalapan Township Committee!
you gotta love how the geniuses at the SEC were going after market timing of mutual funds, a lawful activity, while bernie m. was stealing billions right under their noses. the SEC, never lies, it just is incompetant.
It's amazing how people who get caught and are found guilty by the government for crimes they commit are quick to call those same government agencies corrupt. Much like Larry Roth being guilty of saying BECAUSE I HATE ITALIANS, certain Manalapan lawyers who get caught by the SEC with their hand in the cookie jar aren't happy with their fate.
I wonder if the person who runs the Manalapan HATE website is allowed to collect unemployment? Or is it disability? Or is it another form of government handouts?
You know its just a matter of time before the evil ones start to slam Joey D for cutting the proposed tax hike by the school board. Those people never met a tax they didn't hike - or like.
Here's what I find interesting. The KB crew fascinates about Moskovitz and his blog all the time, and the same 2 people respond to their bigotry. Meanwhile, there's 68 responses to this blog most recent blog post. It shows who has the power, and who has no power anymore. And to paraphrase the DTS, "And that's da truth."
Re: 'the SEC, never lies, it just is incompetant'
Then why didn't the subject fight the suspension and fine?
Re: 'And when did being an Ivy-Leaguer become a liability and a semi-literate sycophant a plus?'
Since Ivy Leaguers have been making complete fools of themselves. That's when.
"you gotta love how the geniuses at the SEC were going after market timing of mutual funds, a lawful activity, while bernie m. was stealing billions right under their noses. the SEC, never lies, it just is incompetant."
Do you think Fred even has a clue how ridiculous he sounds? Or is he so far gone and narcissistic that he actually believes he makes sense? If the SEC was going after a "lawful" activity Fred was perpetrating, then why would Fred have agreed to pay a fine, and be suspended and why would Fred recommend that his client pay a fine of $180,000,000 for what Fred calls a "lawful" activity. Maybe the real problem is Fred never was much of a lawyer and couldn't tell the difference between a lawful activity and an unlawful one to save his life -- or at least his now dead in the water career.
Re: 'shouldn't it be illegal for labor unions to contribute to pro-labor congressmen unless those congressmen then recuse themselves from voting on any issue that affects the labor movement?"
That is a doofus deflection.No one ever said the interested parties should be prosecuted. The problem is with the public officials receiving the big bucks. And, yes, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank are two of the finest examples of the genre.
"Then why didn't the subject fight the suspension and fine?"
Because when you are 110% GUILTY OF FRAUD, you take the deal th government gives you or Fred would have probably been sharing a jail cell with John Lynch. Or he would have become the wife of some very large man.
I read the reply from those who post at the HATE website, and you have to give them cedit. At least this time when they realized one of their bloggers was someone the government found guilty of FRAUD, this time they didn't blame Moskovitz.
I think it's hysterical how the Roth-apologists from KB's hate site think this blog really cares about what they do. If I were the Squad I wouldn't let any of those losers post anything here.
Who has proven he WILL stand up to higher taxes ? Joey D that's who!!
I have to admit people are talking about how Joey D didn't back down and fought NOT to increase our taxes. Looks like a ground swell of support for a man who actually stood his ground against higher taxes. Tax payers now know Joey D is on THEIR side.
Thank you JOEY D for not whimping out as others have done in the past. Joey D is the man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Squad. Please keep investigating and writing about the school situation. There's never any reports about it in the Transcript and I'm not a subscriber to the Asbury Park Press. Thank you.
Joey D??? Are you kidding???? We need proven tax cutters and fiscal conservatives like Andrew Lucas and Michelle Roth on the Manalapan Township Committee.
