Jim Mangin Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 CHECK IT OUT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The article fails to mention one very important fact. The Mayor and Council borrowed $3.2 million in bond anticipation notes in Feb. 2005. The notes came due in Feb. 2006 with no money appropriated to pay them off. So, they were renewed for another year and are now due in Feb. 2007. To borrow money via bond anticpation notes, you need a bond ordinance. What the article fails to mention is that the bond ordinances that this $3.2 million was borrowed for go back to 1997! That means that in 1997 Mayor Vartan and the Town Council adopted a bond ordinance, but didn't borrow the full amount of the ordinance. So Mayor Santos borrowed the rest. Likewise, in 1998 and 1999 Mayor McIntyre and the Town Council adopted bond ordinances but didn't borrow the full amount for those projects either (DPW equipment, Police Dept. communication system). So Mayor Santos borrowed the rest. My question to the Mayor was when will this new debt be paid off? His answer was in the next bond sale, slated for 2009. That means that in 2009 the Town of Kearny will sell 20 year bonds (to be redeemed by 2029) for projects that originated in 1997. In 2009 Kearny taxpayers will be finished paying off debt originated in the Vartan administration, and perpetuated in the Santos administration. The Mayor's love affair with bond ordinances continues - even those started by previous administrations. Jim Mangin ps - You can't make this stuff up.

Jim Mangin Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 no one cares jim. now shut up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wrong. A lot of people care. There aren't nearly as many short-sighted individuals in Kearny as you, or the Mayor may think. Under Mayor Santos our annual debt service payments are already about $1.6 million higher than before he became mayor. In 2009 our scheduled debt service was going to drop slightly and give taxpayers at least some small relief. Except now Mayor Santos has revealed that 2009 will see another bond sale. This way he can postpone debt service for one year (the year he is up for re-election) and then pay substantially higher annual payments after that. He's "banking" on people like you to either not notice, or not care. Anyone who plans to stay in Kearny for at least the next 5-10 years should pay close attention to what's going on.

Jim Mangin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jim, There is no viable canddidate to oppose Santos. You may be one, but you cannot win without a substantial organization of people behind you that knows how to run a campaign. Who knows when to get the press releases out, who knows where you should walk and why stays on top of the campaign 24 -7. Those types in the Democratic party are long gone and I just don't see anyone else on the horizon. An entire townwide ticket with county committee in all district in all 4 wards has to be put together. Not to mention the money needed and since Santos is now behaving himself and is controled by the c ounty by reason of his employment, they won't kick in so there you have it. Sadly, it's not gonna happen any day soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever complains so they get no bad publicity and at this rate you could be stuck with all of them for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Jim, I'm glad to see you're still asking questions. I believe in the two party system and when the government is made up of all one party, as in Kearny, it's not good. They become arrogant. Questioning keeps people honest and diverse opinions often lead to good judgments. This is just my observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people in Kearny still believe in the two party system. They just believe harder (and in larger numbers) in the Democratic Party. Same Democratic Party Mr. Mangin claims to be a member of. Just my observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
