Anyhoo, time to get a task force together of all the stakeholders (including residents) and call on our other elected officials to do something to help for a change, rather than just taxing us to the hilt - and by that I mean:
- Edison Mayor Tom 'Now 15.4% But Won't Debate' ChoiLankey
- 18th District Assemblyman Rob 'March on Trenton' Karabinchak, and
- Freeholder Deputy-dog Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro
Surely, they can do more than they're doing now!
Second, the Board of Mythomania will be having their Reorganization Meeting on January 3, 2018 and will be voting for a new Board President to replace Dr. Frank. Now, it doesn't take much to figure out that there are only two members who can come up with the 5 votes needed and that would be Jerry Shi and Beth Moroney. Both were part of Señor Lankey's 'You Got to be Kidding Me' team of incumbents in this past election and they both won another term. So, to the victors goes the spoils, I guess.
Now, in my opinion, neither has a record that I would consider beneficial to the taxpayers or would likely take back control of the Board from Super Dr. Richard 'Looking for the Exit Ramp' O'Malley and make sure we are $pending our tax dollars in the most beneficial and efficient way possible for all the stakeholders here in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison.
If I were a Board Member, I would Vote No when their names come up and would say why. I believe we will be getting more of the same with either of these these two at the helm rather than more of what we need over there on Mythomania Lane - Hugs & Kisses with O'Malley aside.
But the good thing is that I don't get a vote - and it becomes a simple choice of who will be more open and transparent with the People of Edison when dealing with the many challenges and opportunities facing the Board this year. Will that be Moroney or Shi? Hint: it's a tad bit not likely Shi.
And since you can easily see how the Board splits on this vote, it all comes down to the Vote of 2 Board Members, Shiva Prasad-Madhukar and Falguni Patel to make that call. If Moroney can get one of them to vote for her, she gets to be Presidente over there on Mythomania Lane. If not, it goes to Shi. Of course, this gives Prasad-Madhukar an opportunity to make a move and put her own name in for consideration. Hey, it could happen - and what a mistake that would be!
Let's get serious now, the only real choice to head up the Board (for all the stakeholders) with what's coming up in 2018 is Ralph Errico. The Board should rally around him if they want to move things forward in a positive way.
Finally, one last thingie - given the ugly politicization of this past election, the Board should give serious consideration to moving the election back to April when the opportunity arises to do so in 2018 (post moratorium).
Rather have the right to vote on the bloated buckets of money they call a school budget than have to put up with all the negativity that comes with campaigning for a November election. As I understand it, it can be moved back to April in 2018 by either the Board, the Edison Council or the People of Edison by Petition.
