Any thing strike your Fancy? 19655[/snapback] Harrison is a town where there are billions of dollars in redevelopment projects taking place. Is it a coincidence that the head of the redevelopment agency is also the chairman of the mayors reelection campaign? That the mayors brother-in-law is the attorney for the redevelopment board? We live in a town where every public contract is for sale, the garbage, town insurance, town appointments, legal services, board of education, every contract requires a contribution to the towns, democratic organization, headed by the mayors campaign manager. It is also noted that in other posts on this board that the Harrison Democratic organization also gave two hundred thousand dollars to the Hudson County Democratic Organization. Who until he was elected state senator was headed by Bob Menendez. Even a blind federal agent should be able to make a case here. I think we should support our local politicians by getting out to vote for them so they can keep things rolling just as they are. After all, we have been doing it for years.

Why would a man who has already been indicted in criminal activities be offered and given a public service job making 95k????? you tell me, but now at least we know they are all being investigated... and to Higgins, and Bennett better start thinking about that double, triple and quadruple dipping....watch your backs... and stop the shady shit....

Most of them even call you by name, and know your family. Some of them are new to town, but they have been chosen to be part of the select few. Some have been in town for years, and you knew them when they were children. The amazing thing is they can all keep a straight face while they are picking you pocket. The purpose of taxes is to enhance the communal good. In Harrison the purpose of taxes is to enhance them and their families, at your expense.

Larry Bennett was working at PVSC before the Mayor, and Villata. Bennett has over 25 years experience at PVCS, none of themare there as long as he is. Why was that not mentioned? Before anyone starts pointing fingers, let us point them at the people who are working there after they became an offical for this Town of Harrison. Where ever the Star Ledger got this information they should have had their story straight before they printed that article. Point your finger at yourself, and get the facts right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
