One exception!
They will, if they are campaign contributors to the incumbents.

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Be careful what you wish for Art.
How's that illegal B&B going? |

Hey Ed May- Where have you been? According to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, The Town Council- The Star Ledger- The News Wretched- and even AJC
Les Saisons is Illegal- B&B's Boarding houses, hotels, and motels are an ILLEGAL use in this township-
Thank god you lost- you were even at the hearings and read this board and you still don;t get it. |

Welcome to MOL Candlemaker, you're just what we need, one more wise •••.
I suggest you stay with making candles and leave the reporting of false information to Dan Rather and CBS News.... FYI, I never said Les Saisons is an illegal bed and breakfast, because it isn't!
This matter remains in litigation in the appellate court, so before you flap your lips again, I suggest you wait like the rest of us to hear the courts decision..... Last year, the New Jersey Superior Court overturned a Maplewood Board of Adjustment's ruling against me. Earlier this year, based on an approved settlement from the previous Board, the town was given an opportunity to settle this matter.
Unfortunately, because of a few tenacious neighbor's, some hired mercenaries, and strong objections from our last two Mayor's, Vic and Jerry, the new Board of Adjustment decided to keep spending money and fight on... |

Hey Artie- thank god you lost- you don't get it either-
Just because you filed a dozen lawsuits doesn;t change the zoning law- read the latest MapleLeaflet- You cannot operate a b&b, motel,hotel,rent rooms in any way in Maplewood- it is not legal --- period- end of discussion.
You are the one keeping this up and spending the towns money-
And actually I was speaking to EdMay so MYOB

Ed,
It sounds like you MAY owe me an apology.
Get it? Ha Ha.
Anyway, Art has been arguing with his neighbors and the TC for several years now about the whole B&B issue. Then he starts this thread to rat out homeowners with sidewalks in disrepair.
And he wonders why his neighbors are after him? Hello! |

Dumb and dumber... Johnny and the Candlemaker.
It’s obvious you guys have a personal stake in trying to discredit me and/or to put me out of business. The problem is neither of you have the facts, and neither of you have any idea of what you’re talking about.
FWIW, if you want to attack me and my business in this open public forum, why not come out of your closets and take me on face to face. Both of you are nothing more than a couple of scum bags who spew your hate for personal and self serving reasons.
What was the point of your posts? What’s your pay off guys? Especially you Candlemaker… two posts, two personal attacks. Identify yourself or crawl back in your hole...
BTW Johnny, fix your sidewalk! |

"both of you are a couple of scumbags".
Does this rate as a personal attack?
Will the moderators of this board be impartial, or the fact that someone pays to advertize here sway their opinion?
Not attacking anyone, just curious. |

Nice one Art.
I would definitely call this a personal attack and if Jamie/Dave had any sense of fair play at all they will suspend Art from MOL for a little while.
But since Art is their buddy I doubt this will happen. Oh well. |

In another thread, Art made the point that posters who have problems with local businesses (restuarants, etc.) should give the owner a chance to respond directly before complaining here. It's a reasonable point that seems to apply to sidewalks (or other issues related to upkeep). Perhaps people with concerns about particular properties could speak first with the homeowner and next with the folks at Town (or Village) Hall before posting here. |

johnny and candle
Art might have been wrong in what he called you, but you both attacked him first. And while I like Art and think he's getting a bum rap from a few not very nice neighbors, he shoudn't have stooped to your levels by calling you what he did. IF Art gets suspended, so should both of you for baiting him... jmho |

After re-reading your post Johnny, I guess I shouldn’t have lumped you into the same category as Candle. I apologize.
Sometimes at 3am in the morning I can be a little testy. I guess in my frame of mind we both should be grateful we didn’t run into each other last night in some dark alley…. FWIW, why don’t we just try and avoid each other in the future and not have to worry about airing our animosity with anyone else.
You’re right Harold, Brian, and Taylor; I shouldn’t have said what I did. I apologize, and to anyone else who was offended.
As for monitoring the Board for personal attacks, we all can go to the video tape to see who was off side, was pulled off side, or committed the personal foul. IMHO. given the volume of activity on MOL, I think the Ross brothers do just fine... |

I think you are wrong. I think the BoA refused to be bullied into a position they did not think was wrong but would rather fight than let the threat of litigation stray them from what they have been saying for a long time.
Who were the hired mercenaries? |

Welcome TC177. It only took from July 20th to get the courage to post something; and you choose me for your first post. I'm flattered TC177...
I promise I'll try and answer you once I figure out what you're trying to say. I did understand your last sentence; "Who were the hired mercenaries?"
Well, you would have had to be there... it was the attorney who argued the case for my adversaries, plus a few ringers from outside the neighborhood. I figure if I know who they all are, you must also know who they are.
BTW, several friends, including some of my friendly neighbors told me you and/or your gangs were out in town trying to collect a few hundred dollars each to continue their fight against me.
FWIW, I believe the Board of Adjustment probably did me a favor by allowing the Superior Court decide the matter. The truth is I was way to generous with what I had agreed too give up.
When the judge finally rules, I hope everyone involved in this case has deep pockets. Either way, this matter can still go on for a long time, and just remember in the end, turn around is fair play... |

Public Service Announcement? Or more self-serving, hateful, republican, minding-your-neighbor's-business crapola?
Watch your step and mind your bee's wax.
By the way, I think people should back off and let you run your b&b. |

Boy... was that ever a mixed message!
Monkey Girl, thank you for the support for my Bed and Breakfast, and FWIW, my PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT was given with the best intentions for everyone on both sides of the issue of dangerous sidewalks.
BTW, I'm not a self-serving, hateful, Republican, and as a rule I mind my own bee's wax.
Why not come over some morning for Pancakes and we’ll talk about it...  |

A Major Part of the Sidewalk Problem Lies with the Town
It's somewhat ironic that while the town has no qualms about notifying homeowners of their need to repair sidewalks, there seems to be no effort to address problems caused by pavement uplift resulting from root growth from trees between the sidewalk and the curb -- which is the town's responsibility.
I was recently turned down for a new homeowner's insurance policy because they determined that a section of my sidewalk was a hazardous condition. I was able to obtain a policy from another company -- but only on the condition that this problem be corrected.
A short walk through many parts of town will quickly convince anyone how extensive this problem is.
I have requested that Public Works replace the critical section in front of my house and am anxious to see what happens.

I think any strip of sidewalk that is damaged by a town tree should be repaired the Town. |

Follow up to sidewalk problem
As expected, the Township indicated that even though the problem was created by a town tree, IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. They did say they would remove the root obstruction. |

What a great position to be in! "I caused a problem, and I am not responsible for the effects or the remediation." When do I get to say that? |

"They did say they would remove the root obstruction."
Getting the root out is a big problem... So why not lift the sidewalk slab and put it to the side. As a rule the slab will come up in one piece. Immediately close off the area with yellow caution tape, call the town to remove the root, and then put the slab back down. Hopefully that will help solve your problem. Check with the town first though.
If you need a hand give me a call. I have a big pinch bar that will help you move the slab... |
