As disappointing the turnout and outcome of the Dem-party Primary for Mayor here in Edison, there will be a Choice in November

Well, David Tingle has announced his Candidacy for Mayor in November as an Independent. 

'I'm excited to announce my candidacy for Mayor of Edison Township as an Independent! After numerous residents reached out, urging me to run, I've decided to step up and offer the true leadership our community needs. Together, we can address the challenges Edison faces and work towards a brighter future. I look forward to your support and to making a positive impact in our township. Let's bring about the change we all know is necessary!'

Please take the time to review his announcement and check out his website here https://tingleformayor.com/. This town surely needs a choice.

When You Let Mayor Sam 'Bubble-boy' Joshi Try & Block Free Speech - You Allow His Administration to Escape any Accountability

 Well, maybe he thinks he can get away with that Nonsense with his supporters but Not here. 

In all years that I have lived in this politically-corrupt, one-party town, I have never seen such actions taken to disenfranchise the Residents/Taxpayers. From banning the Flag to Kicking People out of Council Meetings just for daring to ask about his Inept Stewardship to having to hide out from any Council or Public scrutiny of his miserable record. 

From turning the Town into a National Embarrassment and leaving Edison the Permanent Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer, add to that the Frivolous, Wasteful, Questionable and Ridiculous Spending, Warehouse expansion, Uncontrolled approvals of Undersized lots and Oversized houses, Impossible truck traffic, all Adding to School overcrowding and Not Properly Addressing Infrastructure problems - doing all this and Still Raised the Muni taxes by some 7.4%, more than Doubled the Township Debt Yet Only Raised the Ratables by a Ridiculously Low 2.6%.

While he may be a Perfect 'Tool' for the 'Powers that be' to do their bidding, over the last 3 1/2 years, he demonstrably has shown he lacks maturity, experience, honesty, integrity, principles, credibility, truthfulness, political acumen and transparency. Clearly unqualified for the position he holds who has to live in a 'Protective bubble' from his own constituents and more importantly, Clearly Should Not Be the Face of the 6th Largest town in the State. 

It's Embarrassing to Live in this town now and I say this as a Life-long Democrat.

After attending a ga-zillion Council Meetings and School Board Meeting over the years, here's something I don't usually do anymore but his 'Pocket Council President' tried to Block Me. 

Free Speech is important and You Shouldn't Give it Up.

Anyhoo, it's one thing for having to live with the decades long Dem-party stranglehold on this town and when they now put someone in that position that clearly is so unqualified that he is a constant Embarrassment to the Town and the Good People of this town with his inept and childish actions - but it's quite another thing for those who have to live with his nonsense.

Don't play Musical Chairs with Your Vote for Mayor Sam 'the Big Lie' Joshi on June 10th

 Well, before you Vote for Mayor Sam 'Bubble-boy' Joshi in the June 10th Primary, understand that he is just a 'Malleable Marionette' for the Powers that be who put him there to do their bidding. 

An inexperienced & unqualified political neophyte with a demonstrable record of immaturity, incompetence, trustworthiness, egregious spending and a strong anomaly with the truth (aka, Childish-Lies) who has to live in a 'Protective bubble' that blocks any scrutiny of his inept Stewardship by disenfranchising the Residents at Council Meetings, through OPRA Requests with a Gatekeeper and Blocking Official Council Communications, and Rigged & No Show Muni-budget Presentations - with a Fantasy Dream of a Political career.

A Dream that only exists in his mind since he could never survive in the World of Big-boy, Rough & Tumble Dem-party Politics outside of Edison where you don't have a 'Bubble' protecting you from your own constituents and your own incompetence. Even his fellow JPS Graduate Steve Fulop, who is now Running for Governor, and who Swore him in last time - is Not Endorsing him this time around.

Arguably, his two Greatest achievements over the last 4 years of his inept Stewardship are turning Edison into a 'National Embarrassment' and 'Leaving Edison the Permanent Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer' - recognize what will happen if you make the same Mistake of Voting for him again.

So, think of it this way if you still are planning to Vote for him - One of these two is 'Bubble-boys' First 4 years dismal Record (including the need for a Public Advocate) chasing a Political Career and the Other is You, the Resident/taxpayer, Foolishly expecting things to change:

Anyhoo, don't be silly and Embarrass the town some more by Voting for this guy who clearly was Never Ready for Prime time or Remotely qualified for the Position he holds - Recognize the Embarrassment he is to Local Governance and the Good People of this town.

For those Voting the Local Dem-party Line on June 10th

 Well, just a thought for those who will be Voting the Local Dem-party line in the June 10th Edison Primary.

For those Voting in the June 10th Dem-Primary here in Edison and have no issues with the Dem-party long-time stranglehold on this town and continue to Vote the Dem-Party line - Please Do Not Vote for Joshi for Your sake and for His. He could never survive in the big-boy political world outside his protective bubble. Even fellow JPS graduate Fulop (who swore him in and plays in the big-boy political world) won’t endorse him.

As much of a Malleable Marionette he may be for the ‘Powers that be,’ he has clearly turned Edison and it’s Local Governance into a National Embarrassment while living in a protective bubble that shuts-down the Residents by disenfranchising the Residents with the antics of his ‘Pocket Council,’ and impeding or blocking OPRA Requests questioning his wasteful spending by implementing a Gatekeeper.

Because he is so unqualified, inexperienced and immature for the position he holds, he may be a good ‘tool’ for the ‘Powers that be’ to mis-spend your money, but he is more interested in a political career by doing what the ‘Powers the be’ want than what You want.

This guy is far and away the Most unqualified person (and worst decision for Mayor the ‘Powers that be’ have ever inflicted on this town) to ever hold the office in this politically-corrupt town. This guy was never ready for prime time.

Anyhoo, Please Don't Vote for Him - Vote for Yourself and Our Good Town.

Apparently, 'Bubble-boy' has a Condition that will Prevent him from Presenting his $175.5m Muni-budget tonight

 Well, take it that Rigging his Budget Presentation last year to avoid it being Vetted (by those Council members who were doing their job for us) wasn't enough to avoid him looking like an incompetent buffoon - so this year he just won't show up at all to explain and answer questions about his policies, plans, spending and future of the town in this budget. 

Guess he thinks those things are best explained by the BA and Finance Guy. That's a Big DUH and just Silly! How could they possibly describe the rationale why decisions by the Mayor to go one way versus another. Only the Mayor could answer those type of queries by the Council.

Just shows the lengths this guy will go to when you have a 'Pocket Council' that does His bidding and Not the Vetting of the Budget, which is Your bidding. 

To my friend, Councilman Joe 'the Florist' Coyle, aka Mayor of Clara Barton, Joe 180 and Poster-Child for Wards - it's Not the Council's budget - it's the Mayor's Budget that You, as part of the Checks & Balances (and I use that term sarcastically) that is Responsible for Vetting what he has introduced, before deciding to Adopt it as is or change the Mayor's budget.

So, when you hear his 'Pocket Council' describe how great his budget is, remember most of them probably don't even know how to read the budget much less understand what's in it - and if they want to give 'Bubble-boy' credit for something; here's his 2 Greatest Accomplishments, (1) he Turned Edison into a National Embarrassment and, (2) Edison is Now the Permanent Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer.

Anyhoo, the 'Bubble-boys' an Embarrassment and a Stain on the town. Too immature, incompetent and lacks any trustworthiness and has a disconcerting child-ish anomoly with the truth for the position he holds - and it shows with things like this childish-move.

Welcome to the Dem-party Machine Club Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos

 Well, so much for Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos phony complaining about 'Bubble-boy' and his administration at Council Meetings. Just another in a long-line of sell-outs just to get what he wants and Not what's needed in this politically-corrupt town.

Anyhoo, on June 10th - you should treat Kentos the same way you should treat this inept 'Bubble-boy' and that's to Just Say No. You'll surely regret it if you don't.
