Edison Board of Mythomania hires New 'Director of Security' - $130,000

Well, just heard that the Board of Mythomania just created a new position, Director of Security - and hired Mr. Patrick Kissane, a retired police office for $130,000.

As a newly created position, this position is obviously not in the current 2018-19 school budget. There were an additional 15 security guards added to the existing 10 in the security budget for 2018-19.

This represents just another in the long history of non-budgeted additions to staff over there on Mythomania Lane that you don't get to have a say on.

But hey, thanks to Edison's 'Cluck..Cluck' Council who cowardly cancelled out at the last minute on their public meeting on moving the school board election, you don't get a chance vote on the school budgets again and they'll just continue to $pend your money any way they want.

Don't you just get a kick out of all the transparency over this entire school security issue on both sides of town?

Be that as it may, in order to understand the background of this new hire, I just made an OPRA Request for his resume along with any applicable contract and will post if and when I receive it.

Anyhoo, welcome to 'Downtown' Edison where one hand washes the other and both hands pick your pocket.

Not for nothing but maybe the Council will consider this change that the Board of Mythomania made back during the Dave Dickinson era I think - changing the BoE meeting dates that conflict with the Council meeting dates.

Look at all these Edison Council and Board of Ed meetings this year where you can't be in two places at once! Who says we don't have open and transparent government here in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison?:
