Edison's 2017 Racist flyer - 'Committee of the Hole' needs to be terminated for cause

 Well, saw this piece here in the NJ Globe about Mayor Lankey and Councilman Diehl's press conference on the 2017 Racist Flyer.

Apparently, they're still calling for the State or County to step-in and investigate the 2017 Racist Flyer. Seems the County says it's with the State and the State won't confirm or deny any investigation.

Never been much of a fan of the 'Committee of the Hole' that is still searching for themselves 3-years later. On a good day, it's like watching a baseball batter call balls and strikes and on a bad day watching the Keystone Cops.

So, this latest plea for help by Lankey and Diehl strikes me with a sense of uselessness. Doesn't seem anyone outside of Edison is interested and they seem to know it. 

Based on what this 'Committee of the Hole' has put together, I can't tell for sure who is behind this 2017 Racist Flyer and neither can you, if you're honest with yourself. It's still an unknown.

Now, we are left with the politicization of a horrific event by all those Mayor wannabes.

You know, I'm just a beancounter but here's where I'm at on this 2017 Racist Flyer fiasco - 3-years later:

  • You can't investigate yourselves or your own Party.
  • You can't make allegations in public without proof or a chance for rebuttal.
  • You can't rely on testimony from someone who was part of the investigating committee and failed to timely disclose direct knowledge of the event without corrorboration. It doesn't strike me that a tape that mysteriously shows up at a Local Newspaper after the fact qualifies.
  • You can't send stuff to the local papers without giving those being implicated a chance to see what you're saying and given a chance to respond. 
  • You can't have members of the 'Committee' jumping out and making their own conclusions when the investigation is still on-going.
  • You can't be a Kangaroo court.
  • You can't allow Councilmen Patil, Diehl and Joshi to remain on the Council.
  • You can and should terminate this 'Committee of the Hole' and put an end to this fiasco.
  • You can and should Not vote for any Local Democrats in this town.
Anyhoo,  what do I know? I still can't figure out why you'd still take sides in this internal Local Dem-party war when the Stench Still Lingers over this town and those behind this disgusting flyer get away with it.
