"Arsenic" On Da Land Manalapan Is Paying Double For????

You have to give credit where credit is due for Manalapan's Mayor Da Commissar. You know this will certainly ruffle some feathers in his own cadre, but he let da cat out of da bag anyway.

Arsenic?

On da site Manalapan is paying double for??????

Are they kidding?????????

In Manalapan, it’s not lawyers running amock – it’s da politicians, and a recent move by da Commissar, da supreme ruler of Manalapanistan, who may have inadvertently handed an important clue to da Mosked Man in da now-infamous, “Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man” legal case heard round-da-world.”

Manalapan has da Tillis Tract, 25 acres of land in which about 13 acres are completely unbuildable & untouchable due to wetlands. There are some who think Manalapan is paying way too much in these economic times, some who think we’re spending too much money on land with no planned use, and a certain few others who think this is da greatest thing since da Gatling Gun.

However, da land raises two big questions – what of da wetlands, and is there any contamination?????

And - ask yourself this --- If it wasn't important, why would da Commissar even bring it up????

Da Commissar at a recent meeting said da Township Committee won’t make any final decision (like we all know what it will be) about da Tillis Tract “until it gets an environmental all-clear from da state,” according to da APP who wrote another hard-hitting Manalapan story.

Da Asbury Park Press wrote, "Before it buys the land, Klauber said, the governing body wants a "no further action" letter from the state Department of Environmental Protection regarding arsenic contamination found on the tract."

Let daTruthSquad say this again ---- ARSENIC????????

Interesting?????

We're not talking about "Play-doh" here, or "spare tires," or even "crumb rubber," which as we have been told by da Manalapan Township Committee's Gang of Three is not a health risk.

ARSENIC???????

DaTruthSquad can’t recall da then-MAYOR in 2004 or 2005, saying they needed any “environmental all-clears” when, much like being told by a court order they much purchase da property, they went ahead and made a controversial land purchase.

DaTruthSquad can’t recall da then-ENGINEER in 2004 or 2005, saying they needed any “environmental all-clears” when, much like being told by a court order they much purchase da property, they went ahead and made a controversial land purchase.

DaTruthSquad can’t recall da then-ANYONE in 2004 or 2005, saying they needed any “environmental all-clears” when, much like being told by a court order they much purchase da property, they went ahead and made a controversial land purchase.

Why?????

In that case, which has spawned a lawsuit which was morphed into a landmark First Amendment case that Manalapan’s Legal Dream Team lost (at taxpayer expense), da town’s lawyers are blaming da attorney who took over for da original attorney for all da problems with “contaminated” land, which everyone knew about because it was a part of the original record. Da town could have easily gone after da former landowners for da $10,500 to fix da problem, but instead have spent, as Committeeman Andy Boy said, “well over $100,000.”

And – DA METER IS STILL RUNNING!

So, let daTruthSquad get this straight....

Manalapan's Gang of Three or Four want to purchase 25 acres of land, in which about 40% or so is completely unusable due to wetlands issues, for twice da price of da going rate, to build a yet-unknown project on it because nobody knows what they want to do with it, to expand a rec center that was just expanded, while home foreclosures in Manalapan are at an all-time high, with a 42% municipal tax increase in da last two years already in place and another massive municipal tax increase (which they'll blame on Trenton) on its way, aon top of what Governor Tax-zine wants to toss on us all, while paying for da most controversial lawsuit in county history which made worldwide news, and oh - by da way - there may be arsenic on da site??????

Are they kidding?????

DaTruth is, Manalapan should probably buy da Tillis tract anyway, and use da land to build a tent city for all da people who's homes are foreclosed on because they can't afford their skyrocketing taxes!

Making this even worse are da quotes in a recent local Snoozepaper story about this very same land deal. In a story written by thank-goodness-he wrote-it Mark Rosman, da key points he brought up are as follows:

"No formal plan for da use of da land has been announced."

"Da mayor could not provide a specific payback amount since da interest rate is not set until da bonds are sold."

When one local resident brought up renegotiating, that idea was smacked down by alleged Manalapan/and or Freehold resient & alleged Republican/and or Democrat Committeeman Andy Boy who said, "It would be quite dishonorable to break a signed agreement."

Arsenic??????

DaTruth is, alleged Manalapan/and or Freehold resient & alleged Republican/and or Democrat Committeeman Andy Boy is absolutely right. So there may possibly be arsenic on da property Manalapan's Gang of Three or Four want to spend millions of $$$$$ on. SO WHAT. It's just arsenic. It's not like it could potentially be a health hazard or something. Arsenic must be safe, because why would da Manalapan Township Committee want to buy da land in da first place? And, as Andy Boy said, "It would be quite dishonorable to break a signed agreement."

Kudos for Da Commissar for coming out with da information about potential arsenic on da Tillis tract. That deserves praise. He may quite possibly face scorn from other cadre members for this, but worry not - for alerting da public with your call for da DEP to investigate this, daTruthSquad will watch da back of da Commissar -- and residents of Manalapan -- make sure you ask da questions at da very next and every other meeting why your elected representatives are so gung-ho on fast-tracking da purchase of land - NEARLY HALF OF WHICH THEY CANNOT EVEN TOUCH -- FOR DOUBLE DA PRICE --- THAT MAY POTENTIALLY HAVE ARSENIC ON IT??????????

Only in Manalapanistan - and that's daTruth!
