Pizzaz, in your post #1763, is that clean like your restaurant or a different type of clean | ||

I think it's ridiculous to decide your vote based on the supposition that someone is the campaign manager for someone else. Vote on the candidate, not the campaign manager, nor the poster-who-seems-like-they-might-be-the-campaign-manager -for-someone. If you like John's platform, vote for John. If you don't, don't. I'm always amazed by all the "new" posters that show up around election time. I don't agree with Washashore's posts or style, but at least she's been here a while under this same name, and we know where she stands on things. | ||

I won't hold John (pizazz) accountable for whatever she says under the name Washashore but people should know if this is true since washashore has openly attacked other candidates (not just the village independents). I still plan on supporting John regardless of what washashore says but she is definately hurting his campaign (in my opinion). | ||

Washashore is not John's campaign manager. I happen to know who she is, and I can assure you of this. | ||
| User58 Citizen Username: User58 Post Number: 63 Registered: 8-2004 |
she? everyone says she. If it is she or he whom ever they are they are very negative and nasty. Mr. Pogany should remove himself from any contact from this person. Mr. Pogany if you read this post please consider what I am saying this person seems only to be hurting you not helping you. I recieved an email from someone who says they are going to reveal who washashore is. Personally I do not care to ever know this person. | ||

John you say you have no financial conflicts. You absolutely do. If the town decides to build the sopac and someone wants to open a lounge/ bar/ restaurant in it. You could feel that this would hurt you financially and vote against it. If the town decides to put a 6 story deck in the NJT parking lot and the residents thought it an eyesoar you might vote for it because it could benefit you financially by bringing more cars to your back door. I am not saying these would be your decisions in these issues I am only saying that it could be. Could be for any business owner who is on the BOT. This to me is a plain and simple coflict. That is why it does make sense that a trustee not be allowd to vote on issues that are within a certain distance to their residence or business. | ||

Scooby said: "I think it's ridiculous to decide your vote based on the supposition that someone is the campaign manager for someone else." Gotta disagree with you there, Scoob. For example, the fact that David Bressen is the campaign manager of the Village Independents tells me pretty much everything I need to know about that slate. | ||

nora, I guess I was unclear in my emphasis. I should have said it this way: "I think it's ridiculous to decide your vote based on the supposition that someone is the campaign manager for someone else." This was in the context of innuendo that washashore could possibly be the campaign manager for one of the other candidates. I don't know any of the line C candidates, so I have to base my judgement on what I hear. If I were running for BOT, I might want to use someone with a proven track record for getting previous BOT members elected. I mean honestly, anyone who can get some of the current BOT members elected MUST be good!  Don't get me wrong. I'm not voting for line C. But it has nothing to do with who their campaign manager is. | ||

Scooby Doo,I will be voting on the person, not the campaign manager, and John will not be getting my vote. I do not want someone sitting on the BOT who will not be able to vote on many essential issues. I have also read his postings and find him to be very arrogant. I'm not sure why it's a good thing that washashore has been posting for a long time. Her attitude is negative and I think hurts the Village. Picture someone thinking about coming to South Orange and reading washashore's posts. That would make anyone run in the opposite direction. Bets, after reading your post 1176, I can only image the people you know if you find John to be one of the steadiest, calmest most intelligent men you've met. | ||

LD, I do not think it is a good thing that washashore has been posting for a long time. Please don't put words in my mouth. What I said was that becasue she has been posting for a long time, we know were she stands on things. That includes her manner of posting. Anyone who reads a few of her posts will understand her methods. As for not voting for Mr. Pogany, great. Personally, I don't care who anyone votes for. You have found a valid reason to vote or not vote for someone. That's all I was suggesting. | ||

User58: For reasons that I cannot even begin to comprehend why, you seem obsessed with knowing "who" Washashore is. Unfortunately for you, you still do not know. Bets' post reads: "Washashore is not John's campaign manager. I happen to know who she is, and I can assure you of this." Translated, since you seem to have misunderstood Bets' post, this means that John's Campaign Manager is a SHE, and that his female campaign manager is not Washshore. John's Campaign Manager is Elaine Harris, a bright, articulate fighter for truth, justice, and a responsive BOT. Since I am not Elaine Harris, Bets' assurances that Elaine is not me are true. Instead of attacking Washashore and spending sleepless nights trying to figure out who Washashore is, you might find it more productive to think about what Washashore writes about. You use the word "negative" when you don't like or agree with what I post. Rather than dealing with the issues I raise, you name-call and try to discredit the facts I present. With you doing the labeling, and Mr. Rosner doing the half-truths routine (yes it was Ed Matthews, the Town Attorney, who did the research and declared that Patrick Joyce could not participate on quarry discussions or votes, but Ed Matthews was also the Town Attorney for all those years when Calabrese was doing just that - participating in all the discussions and voting if a tie needed to be broken - without even a pause from Mr. Matthews.) is it any wonder that there are now 5 reasonable, decent, people running to replace the (name-calling) imbeciles in Town Hall? | ||

My old theory in town elections (back when Joe Rosenthal was Village President) was to vote for the team throwing the least amount of mud. That was back when there were two distinct teams of three. It's going to be harder to choose this year.. unless something changes in the next couple of weeks. | ||

pete: Yes. It's the same Elaine Harris who I believe ran on an unsuccessful Trustee ticket with Leslie Pogany a few years ago. -s. BTW: Didn't like her then. Don't like her any better now... | ||
| Larry David Citizen Username: Larry_david Post Number: 7 Registered: 4-2005 |
Soda never mind not liking Elaine Harris then or now, I think it's important for all the new comers to know about the law suit brought about by Elaine and her buddies at Bunnys and the money it cost the village. Washashore you must know a different Elaine Harris the rest of us know. Is this the Elaine Harris who went to a debate on the Friday night of her daughter's Bat Mitzvah during the time she was running for BOT? I think that speaks voloumes. | ||

"Larry David", registered in 4/2005,in his 6th MOL post, is already attacking me because of the respect I hold for a candidate for the Board of Trustees. I don't understand what you say in your quote above nor do I care to. I think it's self-evident that you are a yet another puppet for the Calabrese camp, and another inarticulate one at that. | ||

User58 says (btw-does your username reflect when your use started - in 1958?)
Taylor M remembers:
How many people are aware of the sanctions Bill received because of his vote on that issue? |
