Arjay, why did Ford lend NYC money? Wasn't it because they couldn't sell any more bonds on Wall Street, a short walk from city hall? Whatever it was called, I don't think it would be an option for SO, with either the federal or state government. |

Well, jayjay, why shouldn't Corzine appoint a judge who can't recognize or won't act to obviate a confict of interest starring her in the face? It shouldn't be SO's problem any longer. We might as well dump some of ours on the NJ judicial system with the Governor's blessings. |

With all Howard does for the town he should be Terri's replacement. I thought when I mentioned Eric was selling his house a few months ago someone mentioned he was buying another house in South Orange. I heard something else today I hope is isn't true.
Does anyone know how true it is you do not have to live in town to be a member of the BOT? |

JTA,
If your last statement, about being a member of the BOT, but not being a resident is true, it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.
Hey, if that's the case, why not elect someone from South Dakota? |

South Orange has a Aa3 debt rating from Moodys:
"9 Nov 2005
NEW ISSUE: MOODY'S ASSIGNS Aa3 RATING TO TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH ORANGE VILLAGE'S (NJ) $13.4 MILLION GENERAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2005
CREDIT: South Orange (Township of) NJ
MOODY'S ASSIGNS Aa3 RATING TO TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH ORANGE VILLAGE'S (NJ) $13.4 MILLION GENERAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2005 Concurrently, Moody's has assigned the Aa3 rating to the township's $30.7 million in outstanding parity debt including the current issue. The Aa3 rating reflects the community's substantial tax base, stable financial position and manageable debt burden."
A ways off from bankruptcy. I'll post the entire report if anyone's interested.

I have been a reader of MOL for several years and a poster for about 18 months.
I noticed Howard is a very active member on this board and in the town. Howard didn't let his defeat last year discourage his quest to better the town. It is clear what kind of positive change Howard can bring if empowered to do so.
I would vote for him. It's unfortunate that some of the elected officials currently in office, don't show the passion of many of the residents in town.
I hope this is a signal for a change for the better. |

just for the record about Terri-Ann -
I told the forum she was independent and a good person, at the time she was running.
I am glad the collective here has finally seen the light about her and I am sorry to see that she would have to resign if this is true.
Let me echo doran about Terri-Ann continuing to teach karate at the Baird.
and of course Congratulations on a deserved appointment. |

No one has shown that a BOT member can legally reside outside the town. There is nothing really to change. The town code indicates that a trustee must be a resident, though it appears to be ambiguous as to whether an existing trustee can move out of town and still remain on the board.
I would think even the most jaded and uninterested resident would be up in arms if a non-resident were on the BOT, given the financial issues the BOT deals with. And I doubt anyone who no longer lived in town would want to stay on the board. Besides, if Eric moved out of SO, I'm sure he would have the integrity to step down. |

yabbadabbadoo, your figures are significantly outdated. The debt of SO now is much greater and may be closer to 66 million and rising while its operating budget is about 26 million. (No trustee or town employee would state the figure last Monday night when they all were asked.)
So what should we think of a governor who appoints someone to a judgeship who:
1) used public office for personal gain (career advancement) while shirking its basic duties (not attending meetings);
2) ran for office when she knew she would probably not be able to fulfill her term but didn’t mention this to the electorate;
3) unless others stopped her, would have used her authority as a public official to promote a conflict of interest in another public position (Theroux on the parking authority)
all so that the vacancy this person’s appointment would create would allow the new head of the Democratic Party in SO (Janine Bauer) to be installed into the vacant position?
A good example of why machine politics injures the public. The Governor should not become the new Boss Tweed of NJ. His mandate will evaporate quickly and he will need the support of the public to reverse NJ’s debt and for any other kind of reform he might try to implement.

Sheena, I'm not sure what tabling Theroux's appointment really amounted to that was beneficial. The last I heard, the BOT has not appointed anyone to fill the position. Trustee Taylor blocked the vote because he wanted someone else to be considered when everyone else was ready to vote. He claimed he never received resumes and other information from the town clerk needed for the vote, but the clerk was blameless, as all the other trustees received the information. He just was unprepared to exercise his duties at that BOT meeting.
So Taylor effectively blocked the vote and the vacancy still exists, I believe. Whatever Moore-Abrams did about "tabling" the vote, has only facilitated unnecessary delays in filling the vacancy. Another commissioner of the PA (Jeff Bowey - sp?) begged the BOT to fill the slot since the commission's work is much more difficult without having all commissioners. The trustees, including Moore-Abrams, ignored him. |

I think it's important to keep the petition going. We need to keep raising public awareness about the crap that goes on and the way elected officials treat "ordinary" people (i.e., not employed by or endorsed by Bill Calabrese). He is the big boss, right?
Next election is May 8, 2007. I hope all citizens who, outraged enough to sign a petition, keep paying attention and help back a slate against the incumbents (Calabrese, Rosen, Rosner, & Taylor). SAVE SOUTH ORANGE (SOS)! |

MHD, it would not be a good judgment call to say that she had heard about a promotion before it was to be given. It is proper to maintain ignorance until the time when it is given and then accept and say thank you. For her to say that she had heard it was coming, and to not have it materialize would make her look foolish. It is the smart political play. |

I think its sort of like him refusing to stop funneling unlimited amounts of town money to a private project (Tau) he promoted before and after he was elected, MHD. He just can't say he was wrong, much less that he was sorry. Its a matter of principle. He has nothing to learn as a new trustee or from the public. |

Okay - definitely need to add my two cents here.
I think the overwhelming majority of MOL supported Eric before he was elected. Since that time, he has very much engaged himself in the platform that he created based on citizen concerns.
Despite the fact that he can't complete it all (because he doesn't always have the support he needs from the BOT as far as votes) he has put his best foot forward.
Helping initiate neighborhood meetings, office hours, call in remonstrances, his questions directed at the VP about conflicts of interest, raising the need for a real estate (redevelopment) attorney, and I can continue this list for quite some time.
Eric is ALWAYS available to talk and discuss issues but he is above putting himself in a situation where people will attack him if they disagree with his stance.
OKAY - HE SUPPORTS THE TS SCULPTURE - he's made his reasons very clear - agree or disagree with them. I spent Easter with Eric telling him how much I disagreed with his position and that we could AGREE to DISAGREE RESPECTFULLY.
HOWEVER - if you check MOL archives, most of you will find that since Eric has supported the sculpture (which has dominated the discussion in this town for months now while other projects have slipped under the rug) you will find that people started attacking his integrity as a person.
Eric knows that his heart is in the right place and for those of you who personally know Eric, you would know that Eric has put a lot of effort and heart into doing what he thinks is best given the circumstances.
He is a person who possesses a great deal of honesty and will never treat any resident the way we have seen other BOT members treat residents.
I'm HONORED to have Eric represent me on the BOT and I would vote for him again.
Trustee Devaris - if you see this - THANK YOU for all your work thus far and I look forward to what else you have in store for us
One last sidenote: I believe one of the big reasons Eric no longer 'participates' in MOL was he was not comfortable being in an environment where personal attacks continued to happen. There's no doubt in my mind that he still reads MOL and gathers information and input based on people's posts. Just because he's not posting doesn't mean he doesn't utilize MOL as a tool for public input. |

Sheena, all, raise your sights and expectations. Just because the standards on the BOT are so low, doesn't mean that a person right about some things, wrong about others, should not apologize and admit his or her own mistakes. Anyone can change, but not if they don't think they need to. Even those you admire who act wrongly CAN change. That doesn't mean they will. It remains to be seen what they choose. And yes, their personal integrity hangs in the balance. |

I agree with Sheena and Nora. Trustee DeVaris is a class act that doesn't compare with the rest of them. He has done in his first year a heck of a job, much better than other trustees have done in their many years on the BoT. So as not to repeat myself read his accomplishments I posted on May 12 in the "ONE YEAR since the election" thread, or click here:
http://www.southorangevillage.com/cgi-bin/show.cgi?tpc=3133&post=604679#POST6046 79
Then, all of a sudden, when he supports one side of a controversial issue, he becomes an ogre for some of us!
DeVaris has supported the Tony Smith sculpture because he believes it is good for the Village, but he never liked its location, he said so here on MOL. He stuck to his guns despite the pressure he got from us MOLers. You have to respect the man, the politician who sticks to what he believes is right without fearing the loss of votes.
In my eyes he has done no mistake to apologize for.
Trustee DeVaris, please keep up the good work. We are with you.

Mary32, stop calling Trustee DeVaris an ogre. He might not post on MOL because of it.
While abstaining from addressing constituents on MOL, he should also abstain from directing public monies to a private fundraising cause he personally championed, just as he recuses himself from voting on development questions that impact his property. After admitting it, he should never to do it again.
Sticking to your guns may be a good or bad thing, depending on what you are gunning for. And acting on principle means your actions should be consistent from one instance to another. |

MHD, Trustee DeVaris continued posting on MOL long after he was elected, at least till March 2006. Sheena has it right when she says “one of the big reasons Eric no longer 'participates' in MOL was he was not comfortable being in an environment where personal attacks continued to happen”. Eric has told me how annoyed he was with the vulgar and personal attacks going-on on MOL.
MHD, are you or are you not reading SOrising posts with his snide remarks, callous overtones, false accusations, and venomous commentary? Are you endorsing his comments? Don’t you find his remarks to be personal attacks?
SOrising, for us who know him for long time, Trustee DeVaris is a man of integrity, who for the last fifteen years volunteered his time and efforts to actively fight against the incompetence, corruption, and nepotism that prevail in our government. Those of us who know him can testify on that. He helped put together and lead two of the most dynamic organizations in the Village: the "Coalition to Preserve S.O.", and the "S.O. Main Street". That’s why he was elected. All you have to show is your complaints and personal attacks on MOL for the past year. You are in no position to judge Trustee DeVaris, much less to attack him with your derisive sarcasm just because you disagree with him on one issue. |

Political speech is uncensored, just as it has been before Eric won. My job isn't to stop opinions about politicians, whether they be personal attacks or glowing reports. I think it's a loss to Eric's platform of Open Government that he stopped posting. It's the one thing he's in a position to deliver on. |

I and every other voter in South Orange has a duty to judge the actions of trustees who represent us and whom we elect. And we will continue to do so, in the face of your bombast, Mary32, which has driven Trustee DeVaris away.
Yes, Dave, by all means, create a blog for Trustee DeVaris that will draw readership from MOL. |

Interesting Bets. You find my post a personal attack. Yet you say nothing of SOfalling's preceding post in which he attacks Mary. That is okay, right?
And one more thing: you are curious why I am soooo quick to criticize anyone who speaks out against the current regime. Suspicious ain't it? If you go back and read most of my posts you will see that I am frustrated with anyone who speaks out against the status quo and yet does nothing to change it. You will also see that I often ring the alarm that we are only nine months from elections and we have no opposition slate out there campaigning. All this complaining and criticism that is coupled with inaction does frustrate me. As I have said in the past I have no time to organize and campaign, but I will support financially and otherwise a viable opposition slate.
But don't believe me. I am "one of them", as SOfalling put it, a spy trying to get your secrets and give them to Calabrese and his clan. And what's more: Eric DeVaris is "one of them". What a joke!
SOfalling, unbeknownst to you, I am sure, you paid a big compliment to Trustee DeVaris, when you insinuated that his blog may draw readership away from MOL. |

C'mon admit it. You too are subscribing to SOfalling's paranoia of US and THEM. And everyone who does not agree with you on all issues must be with THEM.
Instead of dividing this board and the Village into factions, let's try to present to the voters a viable slate of candidates to represent us, we are late. To achieve this we have to rid ourselves of the paranoia that SOfalling and you are trying to spread here and get our fight out in the open, for all to see and applaud. If not now, when? We are late.
You can heed what I say, or you can stay wrapped in your MOL cocoon and pretend all is going to be fine. |

pdh6786,
Heed you? Incoherent paranoid nutcase negative poser mongering you? I think not.
Perhaps I'll play the clown and engage you while the grown-ups get the work done. Hmmm... |

Now children stop fighting. This divisiveness among us only deepens the roots of the sitting regime. Try to work together. You two, Bets and phd, seem to want the same thing: oust the incumbents in the next election and replace them with better material. Get your heads together to identify this material and forge ahead, instead of bickering. Next May we'll have to elect our next Village President? Who would that be? Bill Calabrese ? (heavens forbid)
Why this preoccupation with trustees Moore-Abrams, DeVaris, and Jennings? We just elected them a year ago. They are not running in 2007. Better examine the record of those incumbents who may run next May and stategize around them.
Start a new thread evaluating the performance of Calabrese, Rosen, Rosner, and Taylor. They may be your candidates in 2007.
Just mho. |

From the Star Ledger:
"The former corruption busting federal prosecutor now serving as Gov. Jon Corzine's chief counsel has emerged as the front-runner to become New Jersey's next attorney general, according to three Corzine advisers.
Stuart Rabner earned wide acclaim during his days as a lawman, and the governor feels he could help restore public confidence in the office after Attorney General Zulima Farber's resignation in an ethics flap, the sources said. But no final decision has been made and other candidates are in the mix, said the sources, who requested anonymity."
