With ineffective Oversight over there on Mythomania Lane - You Knew a Big School Tax Hit was coming

Well, the inability to control Out-of-Control $pending while pissing away all that State Aid money and nonsense piecemeal plans yet still not properly addressing the Overcrowding - look to the incompetence of Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed, Mr. Pac-Man and his band of P's in a Pod for bringing us to this point.

Here's the State aid over the last 6 years:

Where did all that money go?

Here's the notice they put out when sending the Preliminary 2026-27 School Budget down to the County Super for approval:

This shows the taxes to be raised of $263,214,748, which is a Whopping $28,201,580 increase or 12% over last year's school tax levy.

Here's what they're showing on their website last I looked:

From this, you can tell what the School Tax Rate is that's built into this 2026-27 School Budget.

They're saying the Proposed Preliminary Annual School Tax (2026 Calendar Year) is $6,510 on the average home's assessed 

value. They also tell you that average home assessed's value this year is $186,900.

So, if you divide the $6,510 by the 1,869, you'll get a School tax rate of 3.483. When compared to last year's School tax rate of 3.139, you get an increase of 34.4-Cents or 10.97%.

You can verify this by taking the school tax levy of $263,214,748 and dividing it by the Estimated Rateables per township of $7,556,614,900 and you'll get a school tax rate of 3.483.

Got a request in to see the 2026-27 School Budget once approved by the County Super.

Three things are undoubtedly true in this one-party town;

1. Thank Shi's inept stewardship and his cronies over the years for the current Board of Ed position.
2. Mayor Sam 'Bubble-boy" Joshi should stay on his own side of town. With that Rin-Tin-Tin Can down on Central avenue - he's the last guy that should be talking about fiscal responsibility. And the hypocrisy of this guy goes to no end - he actually tried to take credit for the school tax reduction as his own when he had a tax increase. Arguably an incompetent buffoon and Malleable Marionette of the powers that be that could only survive his inept stewardship in a protective bubble. A Mayor who has turned the town into an embarrassment.
3. Oversight is everything and when it doesn't exist, this is what you get on both sides of this politically-corrupt town.

Anyhoo, you get what you vote for - Enjoy.

 

Bubble-boy lied about it, his 'Pocket Council' won't put it on the ballot - so, You have to do it if you want to have any hope of removing the Politically-corrupt Dem-party Stranglehold on this town

David Tingle - For Edison's Future

February 11 at 7:30 AM · 

Edison residents, if you want to see real change in our township, this is where it starts.

We need 4,892 signatures to give voters the opportunity to decide on a Ward System.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about representation. It’s about every neighborhood having a voice.

If you believe Edison deserves fair, local representation, reach out and volunteer to help collect signatures. Every signature matters. Every conversation matters.

Let’s put it on the ballot and let the people decide.

Message me if you’re ready to help.

 

Anyhoo, it doesn't take much to ask the People of Edison what kind of representation they want to have. Get out and help collect the needed signatures.

'Bubble-boys' 2026 'Pocket Council Leadership' - Joe 180 & Joe 180 # 2

 Oh boy, with this 'Pocket Council' Leadership - let's hope Bubble-boys day-care provider will (this time around) finally make an effort to teach Bubble-boy how to upgrade his outright childish lies to at least twisting the truth, telling half-truths or better yet - being truthful but misleading - and at least Stop Embarrassing himself and the People of Edison while he destroys this town.

Anyhoo, enjoy four more years of incompetence, dishonesty and embarrassment with an inexperienced, unqualified, incompetent and embarrassing political neophyte who has to live in a protective bubble from his own inept stewardship and constituents scrutiny - leading the 5th Largest town in the state.

Without a 'Pocket Council' - 'Bubble-boys' Inept and Incompetent Stewardship Could Never Survive the Truth

 Well, all hand-picked by the Dem-party Leaders in 2021, all Never Screened and the 'Pocket Council' all served as Council President and all are now one-term 'Pocket Council' and done. 

Kudos to Margot Harris (as Council President) though for bringing some sense back to what were some seriously Outrageous Council Meeting Meltdowns with the Public and for trying to restore the Public's speaking and rebuttal times.

Governance for the Dem-party by Shutting down and Shutting out the People of Edison from any scrutiny and involvement into 'Bubble-boys' inept stewardship.

Anyhoo, ready for a second term of embarrassment with an unqualified, inexperienced, immature, untrustworthy, dishonest and incompetent political neophyte who turned the town into a National Embarrassment and, of course, to see who makes up the latest 'Pocket Council' to protect 'Bubble-boy from the Truth?'

As the Embarrassing Saga continues in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison

Well, you might want to pay attention to how Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos, the latest Edison Council addition votes come 2026.

Not for nothing but he may actually beat out Joe 'the Florist ' Coyle, aka Mayor of Clara Barton, Poster--child for Wards and Joe 180 for turning 180 degrees the fastest from bashing 'Bubble-boy' to Kissing his Arse.

But hey, you got to go along to get along in this politically-corrupt town.

Right Rob?

'I have achieved what some thought was impossible at one time, including me.'

Yeah, right Rob - at what cost?

Anyhoo, 'Bubble-boys' inept Stewardship couldn't survive the truth without replacing his out-going one-term 'Pocket Councilmen.'
