Either David could use some sunshine, or Fred goes to a tanning salon. |

You could do dueling polygraph exams on your local cable access channel. Maybe get Geraldo to host? Big ratings I would think. |

Ken wasn't that interested and went out to play ball with his son.

I think the better punishment for David running into the Hickory Gate is a life sentence of service on the township committee under the direction of Fred...

Republican, Independent, Democrat, who cares... Fred is our Mayor and he's doing a damn good job of it!
Listen up Straw, and anyone else who's interested. I'm a Republican by birth, and life style. I'm also Independent as hell, and right now I have a sign on my lawn for Democrat's Pettis & Leventhal, well at least until the Primary is over... 
The point of all this is the party in control in Maplewood is not more important than the overall welfare of our town. At this point in time your vote should be about the person's who will best serve ALL our people.
IMHO, those people are Ken, Kathy, and Fred. The other two have clearly identified themselves with the far left, which IMHO, does NOT represent ALL Maplewood residents..... Now that's my story, and I'm sticking with it!!!

Art,
I understand where you're coming from. However, aren't you the least bit concerned that Kathy's open field tax turned into a deal with a turf company? Also, aren't you concerned that the candidates are claiming they have Corzine's endorsement when they don't?
Frankly, I'm beginning to distrust both.

Straw, I don't see a problem as long as they stay off my turf; and as for Corzine, well I don't know what the big deal is either way? Personally, I wouldn't want the endosement anyway...
As for distrusting anyone, they would be the last two people on the planet I wouldn't trust. Come on, what's up with you guys? I don't think you're looking at the big picture... |

Art,
It's funny what you say. When I first saw the Corzine endorsement I said can't actually vote for two people who have the backing of that guy? I mean, he's a tycoon who runs for Senate, gets bored, so he runs for Governor. Personally, I find the guy pointless and useless. Typical Democrat.
All that said, I was at least relieved when it turned out Corzine never endorsed K&K. Afterall, he's a bleeding heart and we have no room for these types of leaders in Maplewood. Maplewood needs to be about Maplewood, not Irvington.
Now, this leads me to my next point. Why were we told they have the endorsement of Corzine when they don't? It seems like Kathy has been getting comfortable misrepresenting her true intentions lately. First, the tax and now this.
Hopefully, she'll fess up over the coming months because there are plenty of folks in town very unhappy with her at this moment. I am one of them.

I will say that I have never met a more committed person than kathy Leventhal. That woman wants nothing more than to do what she thinks is right for the town. There is not a dishonest bone in her body and I say that having lived next to her for 10 years.
I highly doubt that K&K would ever put out the flyer their opponents came up with.
I just want June over with and then see who is standing in Nov.

Duncan,
She says she has Corzine's endorsement. That is a lie. She does not. She sent out a mailer indicating she has Corzine's endorsement. That is a lie.
She may not have a dishonest bone but she does lie.. In this case the evidence is overwelming. |

Duncan,
June will be over soon, and I have to say that I hope it marks the end of Kathy Leventhal's tenure on the TC. I don't think anybody will quarrel with you that she has been a good neighbor and that she doens't try very hard. But I also think it is painfully obvious -- and it is painful to say it, which is why people don't post it -- that she has often appeared incompetent on the TC.
Even if Kathy had done better over the last 3 years, she is clearly outqualified by Nancy Shippy on redevelopment issues and Lester Powder-Powell when it comes to understanding how to use government to get things done that help people.
Perhaps just because Kathy is such a nice person, she has appeared completely intimidated by angry taxpayers into cutting needed services, and into going along with things she doesn't even appear to understand when she casts her vote on the TC.
There are only 5 chairs up there, and the people sitting in them have a very large impact on people homeowning investment in Maplewood. It would be nice to say Kathy Leventhal has demonstrated she is up to the task. She hasn't. And she hasn't for 3 years running.
I think the Corzine endorsement was a mixup, but she should have stopped distributing the information once she learned of it. One of my complaints about both Kathy and Ken is that the seem to think the Democratic Party is just an instrument then can use however they like to get elected. No, it's a political party built out of the sweat and often bravery of a lot of people who came before them. If they want the nomination of the Democratic party, then they should respect that history and protect its reputation.

Yep. That's what right-wing Republicans want people to think. If right-wing Republicans were brave, they would stand up and run openly as Republicans in Maplewood, not pretend to be Democrats at the expense of busy people who vote in good faith in the hope they will be strenghtening the Democratic Party. More than they have contempt for Democrats and all they stand for, rightwing Republicans are really afraid of the voters, and especially the judgment of informed voters. And so are those who facilitate the election of Republicans into the Democratic party in local primary campaigns. They are afraid of genuine democracy, right here in Maplewood.

Maybe they aren't any right-winged Republicans in the first place. Or maybe the war turned off the moderate Republicans, who knows? The majority of voters in Maplewood are unaffiliated. Many of the unaffiliated voters signed up as Democrats when they went to the voting booths to vote in the primary, thus becoming registered Democrats. This was the majority of the people, not Republicans, so why aren't you screaming foul play about that? These unaffliated voters aren't the staunchest Democrats either. They just wanted their voice to be heard so people like you couldn't call all the shots. That's democracy in action. |

Oh please, fmertz. Try to remember we are talking about a DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRIMARY.
On the Ken and Kathy website there are local Republicans they are endorsing who gave large sums of money to re-elect George Bush in 2004. And if Ann Marzano would like to step forward and explain to Democratic party voters in District 1 how she came to be a committed Democrat and what she is doing and will do to defeat Republicans at every level of office, I'm sure all of us could use a good laugh today.
Frank Fiorito is also welcome to explain to Democratic party members in District 3 why he deserves their trust after giving beaucoup cash to re-elect Republicans in 2004, when most Democrats were trying to do everything they possible could to defeat Karl Rove and every rotten thing he was doing.
I don't think Ken or Kathy lack integrity because something got bungled on the Corzine endorsement or they take up a parking space behind Town Hall even when they could park elsewhere. But I sincerely think that by not taking action over the past 3 years to rid the local Democratic party of people who work for Republicans they have been undermining not only the Democratic party, but have undermined the integrity of local elections in Maplewood. For Kathy, who has been a member of the League of Voters, I think it is impossible for her to say she didn't know or doesn't have any responsibility. Likewise for Ken who has had it brought to his attention many times. If they don't care about the integrity of the Democratic party, I don't care to vote for them to be nominees of the party.

It has been a matter of public record right from the beginning that David Huemer was ready to pay for any damage he caused to the gates.
How much money has gone into Ken and Kathy's campaign from Republicans who want to fight against property tax reform?

Gotta love it when Nohero stands up for his fellow liberal radical out of touch loon. He's just mad because he was proven wrong on the DLS thread. I had to educate him on the grant process. He had no idea since Moveon.org wasn't up on the issue.

Don't take it out on Ken. Notice how he went out with her once, not twice. Also, ken's smart enough to know Kathleen's only interest in him was so that she could be seen with an African American. Makes her feel better about herself.
People like Kathleen give white people a bad name.
