ON JANUARY 1ST AFTER THE REPUBLICAN COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE SWORN IN, THEY CAN MAKE A MOTION TO DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST POLICE CHIEF FRANK INGEMI. ONCE SECONDED THE COUNCIL WILL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. AFTER DISCUSSION IT WILL BE BROUGHT TO A VOTE. DURING THAT VOTE MAYOR DIDONATO AND ROCKY COLASURDO MUST RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THE VOTE SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT BROUGHT THE CHARGES AGAINST THE CHIEF. THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE VOTE WILL BE 3-2 IN FAVOR OF DROPPING THE CHARGES. THE HAMMONTON DEMOCRATS WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT OUR TOWN IS SAVED ALL OF THE UNNECESSARY EXPENSES OF DEFENDING A SUIT WE CAN NOT WIN AND AVOID A COUNTER SUIT THAT WILL SURELY COST THE TOWN A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. BETTER YET, THE CURRENT COUNCIL SHOULD MAKE THIS MOTION AT THE DECEMBER MEETING KNOWING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN ANYWAY AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. THE SOONER WE END THIS NIGHTMARE THE BETTER. THEN THE TOWN CAN GO ON TACKLING THE IMPORTANT ISSUES WE FACE TODAY, THE HOSPITAL, FINISHING THE ROAD PROJECTS, NEGOTIATING WITH THE TOWN EMPLOYEES, RESTORING OUR TOWN SERVICES, CLEANING THE STREETS, PICKING UP LEAVES, RAISING THE MORALE OF OUR TOWN EMPLOYEES, GETTING THE TOWN HALL BUILT, DECIDING ON THE STATE BUILDING, DESIGNING NEXT YEAR'S ROAD AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, PULTE HOMES RETENTION BASIN, FILLING THE VACANCIES ON THE TOWN'S BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (BALANCED WITH REPRESENTATION FROM ALL PARTIES), FINISHING THE REMODELING OF THE HISTORIC TOWN HALL, AND MANY OTHER ISSUES FACING OUR TOWN. END THE MADNESS NOW OR END IT ON JANUARY 1ST, JUST END IT!!!!!
Jimmy Bertino runs the Highway Department. Why can't he do his job and get the trash picked up and leaves cleared? He bought a new trash truck which was supposed to save 6 people. He was given the same number of people as last year anyway. How come he can't get the job done?
