I applaud your efforts, maybe it will shame the mayor into having the

town do it. On second thought, it won't shame him or the council, you have

to have a brain and a heart to experience shame.

Currently, Harrison is the only municipality in Hudson County that does not

record any of their public meetings. The resolution, had it been passed by the

Council, would have allowed for the installation of a state-of-the-art video

monitoring system that is similar to what Kearny purchased and is currently using

in their Council Chambers to record their meetings. The resolution would also

have required all of the Town Boards (the Redevelopment Agency, Zoning Board,

Board of Health, Board of Education, etc.) to hold their meetings in the Council

Chambers so that their respective meetings could have been broadcast and

recorded.

While the Mayor and the Town Council have found it necessary to give over

$56 million dollars of our tax dollars to millionaire developers to fund various

projects in the redevelopment zone, they did not find it feasible to spend $60,000

to purchase and install this equipment in the Council Chambers to give those

residents the opportunity who could not attend the meetings the chance to see

what really goes on there.

Mayor McDonough stated that he did not see the need for this because while

campaigning no one asked him to do this and 4th Ward Councilman James Doran

went as far as saying that he was speaking on behalf of the residents of the 4th

Ward and said that they would not want the money spent on this.

Go ahead and try to tape the meetings and you will be in big trouble. They will have the cops toss you right out.

In accordance with a ruling of the NJ State Supreme Court, it is completely LEGAL for someone to tape record any meeting of any governing body in the state.

Yeah, you're right Jim. We don't want to know what's going on, we don't want

to know about any shady deals being hatched, the good ol' boy politics of "I'll

grease your hand and you grease mine". Keep us all in the dark and then you

and your cronies can continue to run your "secret government". These two

characters are a joke, but the jokes on the residents of Harrison, they (not me)

keep re-electing them.

[Guest ABOUT TIME]

I just came across this website and I am glad as w

hell that finally the truth and the filth is coming out.

JOE GOOD FOR YOU! I lived in Harrison for over 25 years and the only way I knew it was the CORRUPT way. From the Harrison job posting till today I have never seen any to the meeting's that are not recorded. I have always seen it as if you aren't one of them, then you cant get in!

JOE - you got my vote buddy!

Keep up the good work.

[Guest slim]

The cops will not throw you out. If anything, they will be ORDERED under the the threat of disobeying a direct order which could lead to termination to ask you to leave. Lets not bring the the cops into this as bad guys.

By voting not to tape meetings we can all see where Doran, and Bennet are at. The public be dammed. All this BS about Bennet being for the people has come to light. What are you guys afraid of? Let the people see what JO they have elected. Let them see Dolaghan walk out like a little fairy because taxpayers are speaking harsh words. Let them see that our newly elected town officials don't even know the words to salute the flag. Are you hiding something? You claim it's too expensive to tape the meetings, but have no problem creating jobs for family and friends, and even council persons that costs much more, and are of less public service. Doran, your vote does not represent the feelings of your constituents in the fourth ward. Your vote represent yours feeble attempt to conceal your ineptitude from the public.

I have an idea. How about hiring one of the "IN " family members as town meeting taper. There would be no problem with finding money for that. Then they can edit the tapes to their own specifications.

And as far as not knowing the words to salute the flag, that is irrevelant. Only word needed to be known is "YES."

If you are waiting for cheers for what you are doing, don't hold your breath. Do you think most people really care. You have created this image of yourself as someone of importance, maybe in your own mind. Most people in town are only concerened about who is going to take care of them and make their life easier. I don't think you qualify for that job with what knowledge you have aquired at such a young age. You should be more interested in getting a life for your self and stop fooling yourself that you have a cure for what's ailling this town .

Thanks to an active citizen of Harrison, video of the NEBULOUS Harrison council meetings is the best news this forum has revealed all year.

As I've discovered this video here in KOTW, one of Harrison's most successful sons simultaneously sent me the same video information citing his own enthusiasm and commendation for the fact.........

Bravo Mr. Woods. Your efforts are applauded by Harrisonians that left town to make their fortunes beyond the Passaic river and the meadowlands, you may be sure.

Knowledge is power and this effort by Joe Woods puts it closer to the hands of the people, despite some dislodged anonymous stroonce cackling the quote above. It's ALWAYS an anonymous stroonce..........

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Mr. Joe Woods and to all decent citizens of my home town..........May we all soon read that you've ENDED the nepotistic feeding frenzy that Harrison taxpayers are famous for dishing up to it's parasitic leadership...............

GET ACTIVE and GET INFORMED!! YOU GET THE GOVERNMENT YOU DESERVE!!

I find it so difficult that the mayor and want-to-be mayor doran feel that we the residents are not intitled to see what is happening at OUR meetings. doran are you saving money just so you can hire more friends?
