Even the 'Big Kids' like Baseball & Softball!

Saw this piece here in TapIntoEdison about Ralph Errico, Principal of Franklin Elementary School in South Plainfield and President of the Edison Board of Eduction.

Congratulations Ralph E. on being appointed to serve as the Babe Ruth League's Mid-Atlantic Region Commissioner.


Anyhoo, Kudos Ralph E. on the recognition for your years of volunteering!

Edison Board of Dysfunctional or now Delusional - sneakily did this to you last night!

Words just can't describe their callousness in these dire times - You Should Be Outraged by their conduct.

Their indifference shown with this Prelim School Budget for 2020-21, to me, is the epitome of evil - and I told them what I thought.


First, he lost his Credibility by being a 'ShiReferen-DUMB-ER' and now this $282.2 million Twilight-Zone Prelim School Budget for 2020-21.


And just a Reminder to the Board Members - the only reason you send the school budget down to the County Super is for Approval, that's it. You'd be foolish if you thought otherwise!

Here's their Fiscal-Year Numbers:


Average Fiscal-Year Tax Increase from 2020-21 Budget - $375.48


Here's their Calendar-Year Numbers:


And here's what it Will Cost You if you Live in that Imaginary Home assessed at $178,300:


If you don't live in that imaginary home, take your home's assessed value divided by 100 and multiply it by .095 ant that will be Your School Tax increase in this Prelim 2020-21 School Budget. Or, drop me a note and I will send you this Excel file and it will calculate the numbers for You.

Anyhoo, Shame on this Board of Ed - their actions at this time are simply disgusting.

Really Council Vice-President Joshi - you're Not the Mayor of Edison.

With all due respect, this COVID-19 is serious business and the last thing we need is for the local politicians to be playing politics here in Edison.



So, Mr. Joshi - please don't be filling up the FaceBook Groups with information and Q & A's. This stuff should be done by the professionals so we don't cause unnecessary panic and confusion with the information being put out there.

The Mayor has releases multiple times a day, which are just the facts and without any sensationalism. He's not going to lie or panic people by trying to react to rumors or by trying to be the first with the news.

He'll continue to update the community with pertinent information through his communications.


For those of you who would rather see his face out there - he chooses not to do it that way. As long as we get the info we need, who cares how he does it?

As for Sam 'the Weathervane Millennial' Joshi and his FaceBook videos - please put your Big-boy pants on and recognize that only the Mayor should be speaking for the town now, whether face to face or through his releases - Not You! While you may think this helps, as a senior with considerable concern about this virus, it doesn't give me any comfort to hear from you.

Besides, I wouldn't take seriously anything you say anyway  - and I wish you'd Stop. I would of responded to you in the Edison Citizens FaceBook Group but I withdrew from that Group after someone deleted a response I had to one of your previous postings. So, I'm sure you can understand.

Anyhoo, this stuff is too serious for all the Mayor-wannabe's or other lower-level local politicians to be playing politics now. Please Stop it.

Thursday, March 5, 2020

The only thing less credible than the Board of Mythomania's Ridiculous $183.2m '2nd Bite of the Poison Apple' is the face they're attaching to it!?!

Given New Super Dr. Bernie 'ShiReferen-Dumb-er' Bragen endorsed this Bond Referendum before he was even hired, you should take whatever he has to say about it with a Big dose of salt.


Don't be foolish and don't drink any Bragen Kool-Aid before you first stock up and add a lot of salt to it.

Anyhoo, at least we're comforted in the knowledge that the Board of Mythomania continues to go to any means to try and sell this idiotic plan to the People of Edison.

VOTE NO AGAIN
MARCH 1O
