Congratulations to the Dem-party Machine in Edison - four more years of incompetence, dishonesty and embarrassment.

 Well, a Big Kudos to Dave Tingle who dared to try and change things in this Dem-party politically-corrupt town. A town so Bad that someone so inexperienced, unqualified, incompetent and embarrassing as Joshi can be the face of the 6th largest town in the state.

So, a Big thanks to Dave Tingle and his team for trying to change things against insurmountable odds because he's right - if you don't try, nothing will change.

Anyhoo, he may not of won the election against the Dem-party machine but he won my thanks and respect and that of others who wish to bring honesty, integrity and honor back to the leadership of this town.

Which Joe Coyle opinion about Joshi should you believe?

Here's the link to Councilman Joe Coyle's FaceBook page endorsing Joshi and his Council slate in today's election.

If this link doesn't work, just go to his Councilman Joe Coyle page.

Here's another Coyle opinion of Joshi

 

Anyhoo, just another reason why you should never vote for a Democrat in this town ever again.

Final Days to take back this Politically-corrupt town & Put a Stop to all that Waste over there on Mythomania Lane

 Well, as we come up to another Opportunity to do what's right and give this town back to the People and put a Stop to that Political cesspool wasting all that money over there over on Mythomania Lane, you have to properly deal with 3 mistakes:

• A Mistake You Want to Avoid - Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos for Council
• A Mistake You Want to Correct - Shi's 'Edison Students First' slate and,
• A Mistake You Can't Afford - Sam 'Bubble-boy' Joshi

A Mistake You Want to Avoid - The hypocritical Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos running for Council on Joshi's ticket. Here's a guy who went to Council Meetings complaining about Joshi and his 'Pocket Council' and all of a sudden he's now coalescing around, running  and campaigning with Joshi.

What did he have to agree to stay on the ticket? Or better yet, what does it say about him and why would he expect anyone to vote for him?

His quote - 'I have achieved what some thought  was impossible at one time, including me.'

Yeah,, right - at what cost? No thanks

This guy is all about himself and you can never trust someone like that who so easily flips. That's a hypocrite.

A Mistake You Want to Correct - Send the Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed, Mr. Pac-Man, Mr. WhatsApp's 'Edison Students First' slate of S. Peng, V. Patel and R. Azzarello into Forced Retirement. They will only allow Shi's dictatorial and inept leadership to continue to Waste more money while failing to Properly address the Overcrowding. Shi's 13+ years and Peng's 9 years is enough to still be sitting with an Overcrowding Problem. Their just Shi-bots and part of his 4 P's (in a Pod) Keeping the School District from Moving Forward, (S. Peng, A. Patel, R. Patel V' Patel).

Desperately Need Effective Oversight on this Board and the end of Inept Leadership that has no problem with Conflicted/Flawed Members when they run with them - only when they run against them.

A Mistake You Can't Afford - As much of a Malleable Marionette Joshi 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 the '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 that be' want that what you want and need.

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. Let's not forget that we're now the Permanent Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer because the 'Committee of the Hole' he ran is still in search of themselves. This guy was never ready for prime time and it drastically and embarrassingly showed.

Joshi needs to be Expeditiously Voted Out of Office to Stop the embarrassment on the Town and to the Dem-party persona.

Anyhoo, Remember the 3 Mistakes when you Vote - No Boo-hoo, P's in a Pod or Bubble-boy.

On Nov. 4th, Seems Pretty Simple - Integrity vs. Dem-party dishonesty

Well, after 3 3/4 years, Mayor Sam 'Bubble-boy' Joshi is demonstrably the Most unqualified, inexperienced and immature person to ever be forced upon us by the Dem-party Powers that be and it Embarrassingly shows. 

Please, Put an End to this Embarrassment on November 4th - the Party bosses should of Reconsidered their hand-picked puppets with this guy.

Clearly, after 3 3/4 years with 'Bubble-boy' embarrassingly taking this town and the Dem-party persona down - obviously never was or never will be ready for Prime time at this level.

Anyhoo, Bring Some Honor Back to this Town and Vote for David Tingle for Mayor on November 4th.

Poster-child for Edison BoE Term Limits - Shannon Peng - Shi's 'Edison Students First' slate

Well, after 9 years of failing to properly address the Overcrowding, time to say adios to her on Nov. 4th. Not for nothing but Nobody should be on any Board for 9 years. 

Be that as it may, this 5-year piecemeal nonsense they got going does nothing but waste all that state aid money while not properly addressing the Overcrowding.

Further, their bogus claims of no tax increase for 5 years comes without context. You see, what they don't tell you is that they didn't have no tax increase over the last 5 years because they reduced costs in any way, they actually increased costs by millions because of all that extra state aid ($342.9 million over the last 5 years).

When that state aid runs out and Stops coming in, and it will, you're gonna be in a for a huge school tax hike thanks to their pissing away all that money with these nonsense projects.

 

Time to put an end to Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed, Mr. Pac-Man, Mr. WhatsApp's inept and dictatorial leadership over there on Mythomania Lane by forcing his 'Edison Students First' Shi-bots into Forced Retirement on Nov. 4th.

Anyhoo, until you recognize the Board of Mythomania is where the bulk of your tax money goes to get wasted and insist on some effective Leadership & Oversight, you're gonna see millions of your tax dollars go down the drain.

JPS - Class of 2026 Nominations for Hall of Honor

 Well, saw this piece on one of the Facebook Groups. Seems they're now accepting nominations for the JPS Class of 2026 Hall of Honor. 

The last induction into the Hall of Honor was in 2022. I know, it took me going to the Superintendent to get the information about this process.

Now, I put this up here so there can be another heads-up about this nomination process other than just those made over there at JPS and the process can be made public.

Clearly, after doing a deep dive into the last nomination & selection process back in 2022 (See April 26. 2022 Post - JPS Hall of Honor Class of 2022 - an arguably tainted process) I'm clearly not a fan of what and how this works. Seems to me that there are some serious people out there in the world that have done some remarkable things that should be honored and not what I saw happen in that last process. Let's open up the process so it's not limited to the insiders.

So, if you know anybody who should be considered for such a selection, please nominate them. Looks like you have until November 17, 2025 for nominations.

 

Anyhoo, let's hope they do a good job and the entire process is made public and is void of any taint, bias and or shame.

Current Edison Board of Ed Salary File (10/08/25) - Start paying attention to the Largest Expenditure in the School Budget

 Well, usually request the salary file twice a year or so. It'a important since School Budgets are now up to $378 million and half of it is in salaries and benefits alone. 

Important because they don't provide any headcount with their budgets or any other reporting so you don't know how many employees they have by location, department and title. 

So, I ask for the information by name, location, department title and salary amount and put together an Excel table that you can sort or drill down on by any of those headings to see what you're interested in. There's some questions about this file I'm still waiting for some answers but you should get the list of what's happening over there. 

For example, with this table you can see the number of teachers by location with salary or the number of principals with salary by location etc.

Here's a summary of the latest file by Salary Range:

Here's a screenshot of the table sorted for the the Top 25 Salaries:

Anyone interested in having this file, just hit the 'Email Me' button above and you're welcome to it. It's important that you know what constitutes over half their Ridiculous $pending School Budgets, which are now up to $378 million - with very little accountability for the largest expenditure in it.

Anyhoo, you should really take a look at this salary file.
