zerO wants to extend unemployment benefits another 3 months for all his zombie followers .zerO doesn't understand that no employer is going to hire someone who's been attached to their couch for the last 2 years. This is part of zerO's grand idea of redistribution. Inititive, motivation and self determination are not in zerO's vocabulary.

So sometimes people can't find work. Either they've been out of work too long, or companies aren't hiring enough workers to employ everyone. You got that part right, and that's why your snot-nosed disrespect for people who have been out of work makes no sense. You don't even seem to realize that you contradict yourself. All you see is your rigid ideology.

I see that you've been listening to the Fox crowd again. Try to do some independent thinking for a change. Most of the people who have lost their jobs aren't sitting around waiting for their checks to arrive. These people in most cases are older workers, many with College Degrees who own homes and have expenses like you. The amount of money they receive barely cover their expenses.

To you they are lazy but the fact is they have to compete for jobs with younger people who start out making less money. I personally know one who lost their job when the Company re-organized and after looking for months took a job at minimum wage. You think it's easy starting over at 58 years old.

What is really sad is that you think everyone who's on unemployment is lazy. I'll tell you who is lazy. You and your ilk. You're to lazy to check your facts.

Try it sometime you might actually learn something.

Cry me a river. zerO is turning the USA into a socialist nanny state. The Founding Fathers would spin in their graves if they knew what was happening to

our once great nation. Free cell phones, food stamps and unemployment payments for 2 years. No wonder China's eating our lunch.

China is eating our lunch because their people are poor and are willing to work for peanuts. To them, that's a step up.

The Founding Fathers would indeed be appalled at what is happening today but not for the reasons you seem to think. They were practical men who understood abuses of power. They would be appalled that the corporations have gained control of everything, and are so abusing the people and destroying the form of government they worked so hard to create. They were more than smart enough to recognize that government assistance to the poor is small potatoes compared to the abuses of those who are pulling all the strings with legalized bribery of our government.

Sounds like you're beginning to realize the POS that zerO is.

It was all apparent at the BOE reorg meeting and at lasts nights special meeting that Bernadette McDonald had and has NO intentions of ever working with Kearny's first non-political, call them as I see them, student and tax payer accountable Superintendent in a long time.

When McDonald was removed as BOE President back in June 2013, for reasons of not be able to work with the Super, obstructing district business and outright disrespect, she denied all charges. Now minutes into her reinstatement as the "new" board President she moves to a vote of "no confidence" and removal of the districts past years Super, who has made tremendous advances in one years time, while consistently being challenged by BOE members, initiating a Strategic Plan, implementing programs to improve student achievement, moving the High School construction project, moving the Midland Ave building, conducting a Risk Assessment (forensic audit), forging relations with the community, appointing students to serve on the BOE, moving BOE meetings to schools each month, implementing a "time accountability" system, (which the NEW acting Super has sent out notice the day after being appointed NOT to use it), restructured central office to operate and make more efficient use of employees, (one employee who the morning after the NEW acting Super was appointed was moved BACK into the Super's office making $90,000.00 + a year)

Now you also have 2 new BOE members, Paris and Sherry, both voting to remove Ferraro, how can this even be possible. Both members are minutes into their term and vote in favor of his removal? Big deal they attended BOE meetings for the last 10 months, what knowledge of the inner workings at the BOE and the work ethics of Mr. Ferraro do they have........NONE.

This was nothing but a step backwards, back to the FRIENDS and FAMILY days!!!! A total disgrace, no regard for STUDENTS or taxpayers. Retaliation for a firing of a BOE members brother, who was a sitting BOE members for (4) years while having FULL knowledge that his brother was ineligible to work at the BOE and did NOTHING about it. Not to mention never receiving authorization to start working from the State of NJ, not being truthful on application........Oh but where were all the applications? Ask the employee who was moved back to her old desk, seems she had her own file system.

McDonald sites she has no confidence in the Super because he could not hire a Truancy Officer, nonsense, this goes back 2 years, there has been (3) quality candidates, all were held because McDonald did not want them. Her boy, who lost his politically appointed job, is now waiting to get another political appointed job as truancy officer, with NO experience at all in handling investigations or appearing before a judge.........watch who gets this job next Tuesday, it will be a joke.

McDonald held up the appointment of an English Dept head at the High School, stating she needed more information on the candidate, who happens to be a Kearny resident, when she was presented the information all was in order and then she and her flock went out in public and voted down the appointment, no regard at all for the candidate who was in attendance. The next day (director of curriculum) now the NEW acting Super approached the Asst Super with a candidate for the job from Freehold......amazing, I guess McDonald did not need the information and that her request was just a ploy.........watch who gets this job next Tuesday, it will be a male from Freehold.

Now, because all these phonies want "their" person at the helm, so they can DIRECT their person what to do and who to hire, Kearny goes back to the dark side and our students get screwed, not to mention the $500,000.00 Ferraro is owed plus what ever the Civil Lawsuit filed against the Board turns out to be.

Yes, this is a sad time in Kearny, but oh so typical.

PS- Ms. Paris what is going to be done with the DP case. He has been on suspension with pay for months now. He is telling everyone that you were going to take care of things for him. I guess that will be your second wrong doing. Keep up the good track record you started so soon.

Can there ever be a Board that puts their differences aside at the table and work to make the district the best and educationally sound district for our kids? We owe it to THEM.

No big fan of Ms. McDonald or the BOE generally but calling the Sup't. appointed by the Five Stooges non-political is in itself political and partisan in the extreme. Happily, it's unlikely those clowns will ever hold office again, now that the BOE elections are in November.
