Wake-up and Smell the Dem-party Stink that's long been drifting over to Mythomania Lane

 Without proper Board Leadership over there on Mythomania Lane, the Edison School District has been going nowhere and for too long.

Enough time wasted with inept and ineffective leadership - and Doug 'Mr. Hospitality' Schneider and Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed, the last two leaders going nowhere need to go.

Mr. Hospitality needs to be Removed as Board President when the new board is seated in January 2023 and Mr. Shi-shed needs to be voted out of office when he comes up for reelection next year.

Enough with the twisted Dem-party politicization of the Edison School Board.

Anyhoo, be smart - make the Edison School Board Responsible to You for a change.

Yeah..you Really want the Edison Council to give themselves and this Malleable Marionette of a Mayor Pay Raises while the Stench Still Hangs Over this Town - Duh

 Welcome to Edison - Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer:

Council President Joe 'the Florist' Coyle - Before he Rolled Over:

Anyhoo, You Get What You Vote For - Enjoy the Stink tomorrow night while they reward themselves for a job well done.

Edison Mayor Sam 'Mr. Shrink-flation' Joshi adds another Stench to Hang over this town.

 Well, it finally showed up on the Council Agenda (nothing like waiting to the last minute to post) for this coming Monday Night.

Remember that Ridiculous $158.1 million Muni-budget for 2022 that came with a tax increase, where Mayor Sam 'Mr. Shrink-flation' Joshi, aka Big-boy pants, the Weathervane Millennial put together those absurd appropriations which included more than doubling the Administration Budget?

Well, here you go. Looks like 'Mr. Shrink-flation' wants to take his salary from $75k to $150k. Seems back in February his was at $49k and then it somehow got raised to $75k at little later while you were sleeping and now wants it to be $150k. 

Of course, you need an ordinance for that and here so here you go.

Not for nothing but this guy wasn't worth the salary he was making when he was on the Council with his nothing record and raising his salary to $150k (from an already sneaky raise from $49k to $75k) is an insult to all the Edison taxpayers. 

He didn't raise salary during his campaign and nor does he bring anything of value to the table. He was too inexperienced and ill-prepared and he's only there because he was undemocratically hand-picked by the Powers that be from outside of town using the party line. 

Clearly, he Shouldn't be rewarded for being a Malleable Marionette for the Powers that be from outside of town - someone who sold out the People of Edison for a chance to climb up the politically corrupt Dem-party ladder.

It Stinks to no end and adds another Stench to Hang over this town along with the 2017 Racist Flyer.

And of course, he can't raise his salary without raising the all-Dem Council salaries too. They adopted his Ridiculous 2022 Muni-budget with increases for themselves too. Nice 46% increase from their current $12k.

Under the leadership of Joe 'the Florist' Coyle, aka the Flip-flopper trying to protect 'Mr. Shrink-flation' from well deserved scrutiny by actually trying to reduce public comments and allowing Department Heads to skip Council meetings and sandbagging a Council vote on Wards - yeah right, this is a Council that deserves raises.

Geez, for what Joe 'the Florist' Coyle' did for him by making hypocrisy his new middle name with his gone along to get along mentality, he should get Bob 'See No Conflict' Diehl's salary.

Anyhoo, you get what you vote for - hope you enjoy the Stink.
