CHRISTMAS IN DOWNTOWN EDISON - 2015


Christmas in Downtown Edison – 2015

Twas’ a few days before Christmas and those sly little elves,
 Edison’s Karabinchak & Russomanno again labor to benefit themselves.
Not caring a wit what the people might think,
they again place Politics before People in spite of the stink.

And putting his thumb to the tip of his nose,
Councilman Karabinchak said ‘Dems’ my way and Assembly is where it goes.’
He thought Russomanno’s campaign would make for an easy sell,
but didn’t count on his fellow councilmembers bringing out a concerning yell.

He wasn’t concerned about disrespecting the public per se,
dubious transparency and mean-spirited rhetoric is the Karabinchak way.
His use of political surrogates of the Russomanno faction sway,
is sadly over used so he can conveniently stay in everbody’s way.

So while we all scratch our heads and say What the Hey!,
His council performance has gone the ‘Mythomania Lane’ way.
You can bet that Karabinchak is working hard on going to the State Assembly,
bet his charming political personality and open-mindedness they can’t wait to see.

He actually thinks he deserves a move up in the Local Dem Party pecking bin,
while ignoring Councilmembers’ Diehl & Shah who also want a spin.
Filled with groupies from the Local Dem Party failed re-cycle bin,
it’s ironic to see he can’t even get past his fellow council kin.

In this season of giving, Karabinchak is again trying to take,
a seat the State Assembly would be a huge mistake.
While it seems the public will not be his anytime priority,
he will most likely bring forth his disconcerting self-serving mentality.

If in this feeling I’m not alone,
take up your pen or pick up the phone.
Let Karabinchak know that true public-servants pave the way,
not disrespect the public when they disagree with him and want to have a say.

With a ‘Maybe’ Assembly seat soon to open with a Dem Party pick from town,
don’t give it to Karabinchak’s and then watch his face for his usual frown.
And I heard him exclaim with all that maneuving in hand,

Merry Christmas to Edison, and let all the Karabinchak believers be scammed!?!

Edison Board of Education - Current Staffing Data

Well, just received the EBoE's current salary data. This file has total salaries of $131,672,374 for 1,948 employees. The file is by name, location, department, title and salary. Put some summaries of the data together and added a couple of tables so the data can be sorted by any of the main groupings above.

PARCC Results are in here in Downtown Edison - Heads Up!

Well, just caught a piece of the November 18th Caucus Meeting. According to Super Dr. Richard 'Looking for the Exit Ramp' O'Malley, the school and district results for both high schools were sent to the principals and the individual results will be sent to parents in the first week of December.

For Grades 3-8, the school and district results were sent to principals on November 23rd and the individual results will be forwarded to the district sometime between November 30 to December 11 and those individual scores will be sent to parents by the December break.

The Board of Mythomania will give a presentation on the results sometime in January 2016. Bet you can't wait for another one of Señor O'Malley's presentations. Not for nothing but he should be kept away from presenting anything that has to do with numbers.

So, you might want to check out the scores for yourself. Since I have an interest in seeing the summary results by school and district for Grades 3-8, I have requested the info. When I receive it, I will share it with you.

Here's the PARCC State Summary Report for Grades 3-8 from the DOE's website:




Uh..Oh!?!


Anyhoo, at least we're comforted in the knowledge that Señor O'Malley uses a Mac Book at the meetings and Board President Iyer uses a Loose-Leaf Book - kind of sums it up.

The People Have Spoken here in Downtown Edison - You want More of the Same!?!

It's amazing how popular the Local Dems are here in this one-party town, isn't it?:

Anyhoo, at least we have Rob 'March on Trenton' Karabinchak to look out for himself, oops typo..for us for 4 more years.
