Christmas in Edison 2018 - Jingle Bells..Jingle Bells!

Christmas in Downtown Edison – 2018

Twas’ a month before Christmas and those sly little elves,

 Edison’s Mayor Lankey & EBoE Prez Shi labored to benefit themselves.

Again teamed up to infuse politics into the education process,

despite Last Year’s Election Stench that left the town in quite a national mess.

One rules with No Checks and Balances while taxing away,

and the other tried to stack the board with his Single-minded way.

Not remotely caring a tad bit what the people might think,

they again place Politics before People in spite of the noxious stink.

One has a Council that let Sneak in a Forever Tax for Open Space,

and the other doesn’t see that blocking public scrutiny is a self-serving disgrace.

If Mayor Tom ‘Now 17.1%’ ChoiLankey is so quick to jump on Shi’s bandwagon,

then why is it the long-overdue Overcrowding issue is still so sadly a-laggin’?   

And putting their thumbs to the tip of his noses while laughing at You and Me,

Lankey and the Dem-Party leave a Hanging Stench over the town for all to see.

And Shi with his mind-bogglingly inept attempt at the authoritarian way,

doesn’t get that the People won’t accept it with millions of our tax dollars in play .

They’re not concerned about disrespecting the public per se,

dubious transparency, misinformation and misdirection is their ruling way.

Lankey knew it was the only way he could hang around and stay,

and Shi with Dem-party help was assured a chance to have his misguided way.

So while we all scratch our heads and say What the Hey!,

Lankey keeps doing it to you again and Shi is left blindly leading the way.

And then there’s tax-um up ‘Deputy-dog’ Charlie ‘I Abstain’ Tomaro again,

with the 23.5% County tax hike over the last 5 years you sure wanna befriend.

In this season of giving, Lankey & Shi are again playing to take,

Lankey continuing without any Checks & Balances remains a big mistake.

And Shi with a feeble but obvious attempt to hold on to a plurality,

needs to be Voted Out as Board President with the Board finally accepting reality.

If in this feeling I’m not alone,

then take up your pen or pick up the phone.

Let Lankey & Shi know that it's People Not Politics,

and make the Edison Board of Education election to April fix.

With a lot yet to be accomplished by those wearing the all Dem-party hats,

continue to believe in and fight for Democracy – just not the Local Democrats.

And I heard him exclaim with all their maneuvering in hand,

Merry Christmas to Edison, and let all the People be scammed!?!

Well..another year has gone by again over there on Mythomania Lane!

Almost time to put the tree back up again.

And while we're at it, here's the rest of my Mythomania Lane wish list for this holiday season;

(1) that Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi recognizes that he really, really needs to Step-down as Board President and really, really does so.

(2) this is November and we're into the 5th month of the new school year and it would be nice to have a set of Board goals for the 2018-19 school year - especially since it's kind of important to know what their priorities are before the new school year is over and, not to mention, the interim super stands to make up to a max of 14.99% when they translate those not yet done Board goals into his performance bonus criteria.

(3) we don't let another school year go by without a permanent superintendent.

Anyhoo, what do I know, I still can't figure out how we've made such a mess of things in this town.

Edison Nov 6th Election Results

According to the Middlesex County Live Election Results (Unofficial), Ralph Errico (I), Elizabeth Conway and Yunia 'Yuna' Chen won the Three 3-Year seats on the Edison Board of Education.

The Edison Open Space Question was defeated by a vote of 8,374 to 8,019.

Time to Change the Narrative in 'Downtown' Edison!

Stand Up and Be Counted!

On Nov. 6th - Vote to Keep Democracy Safe from Local Dem-party Politics in Edison!

Whether you see it or not, it certainly is being trampled upon all over town and arrogantly so - Right in Your Face!

Over there at 100 Oligarchy Blvd. - don't be sneakily tricked into Voluntarily Taxing Yourself For
Open Space

FOREVER!

Nice - letting this ambush Forever Tax ballot question fly under the radar for so long. Guess another 15-years wasn't good enough. A secret Forever Tax is better. So, let's see how that works - best I can figure out, even acquiring all the available remaining open space in town would take, let's see, a Tad Bit Less Time than

FOREVER!!

DON'T BE FOOLISH - VOTE NO! ON THE EDISON OPEN SPACE QUESTION

Over there on Mythomania Lane - Board President Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi is doing his best to fill the board with members who will continue his attempt to hinder and block board member involvement with those who don't agree with him and continuing to hinder and block public scrutiny of his stewardship - which is a mind-bogglingly inept thing to try and do with hundreds of millions of your tax dollars in play.

So, you need to keep Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi's opaque, inept and ineffective leadership from continuing on over there, with the help of the Local Dem-party, by keeping the stench of politics out of the education process and;

Vote for:
 1J   Elizabeth Conway

 2K  Ralph Errico

 1L   Shivi Prasad-Madhukar

You really need to Vote for Democracy in this captive one-party town.

Anyhoo, Remember to Vote in this election cycle - You have a Lot to Lose if You Ignore What's Happening on both sides of town here in 'Downtown Edison'.

Edison Local-Dems Ultimate Dream Tax - a FOREVER TAX!!

Vote NO! on Nov. 6th for Edison's Forever Tax aka 1-Cent Open Space Tax. 

We already have enough Forever Local Dem-party politicians and the never-ending taxes that go with them. Don't forget what they did with the last 15-year 1-Cent tax. They went out and borrowed against it and created more debt and debt service payments. Can you imagine the debt and related debt service payments they're going to create with a 1-Cent tax in perpetuity? Be budget-conscious, even if they are not.

This Beauty of a Tax is FOREVER!! And, last time I checked, forever is a long time!

Think we need some new town markers?

Anyhoo, who wants to be silly enough to be the first to SELF-TAX - FOREVER!! (besides Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro aka Deputy Dog, of course) here in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison.
