This can't be true. The cult that I try to avoid at the Post Office now has a supporter in the Assembely! Protests are being organized at Gordon Johnson's Cedar Lane office. Is it time he starts drawing on his two pensions?
The following is the link to todays article in the Bergen Record:

Now its really time for the Suburbanite to go...
I rush home from work and run for this weeks Suburbanite, the highlight of my week. Almost like reading the Star magazine at the supermarket checkout.
In it we find the regular ranting of Ron Schwartz, this time in some silly sarcastic letter about donations from non-profits, as well as the regular weekly bash on either Gussen or Rudulph. Ever Since Rudolph got a quarter million for a handicapped playground they've laid off him.
So Prosnitz (did he work for the Sun or Star?) decides its Gussen's turn. He rips into him for his diversity comment which appeared in the Record (another winner of a paper) last week. He then want on to quote two township citizens using them as models to help his bash. Gussen can cure cancer and those two would still have a reason to be upset at him.
Prosnitz then said that Gussen claims the Record "terribly misquoted" him. Prosnitz goes a step further and then claims that Gussen makes the same statements about the Suburbanite. Prosnitz even points out an editorial that the Suburbanite wrote (10/11)about misquotes (you may have missed the editorial- its the first relevant one in years- most are about apple pie or the best way to hang a shingle on your shed).
So what's new??
I do not speak Hebrew other then a few token words, so I thought it was time to go to sleep. I get an email sent to me (teanecktruth@gmail.com) advising me to re-read the entire letter to the editor about Monica Honis and her nasty parking habits. It appears that Ms. Honis consistently blocks her sidewalk with the car, forcing people to walk (aka jaywalk) on the street. I do not doubt the letter writer's facts whatsoever, because it was very well documented, down to the type of cars in the driveway.
HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The letter was signed by " Ani Iparon". Who is that you might ask? Ani is Hebrew for " I am" and Iparon is Hebrew for "pencil".
Basically, this paper, which appears in our driveway every week, publishes a letter to the editor bashing a councilwoman (regardless if she was right or wrong that's not the point) and doesn't even bother to verify the existence of the write. Worst off it publishes it using as prank name!
Yet it defends its accuracy on all other issues............... Can we get this crap off our lawns now???

Next up....
I have been doing a lot of walking in the River Road/ FDU area lately- what can we do to make a college town setting in that area? Cafes, Restaurants etc.... Why are we not capitalizing on thousands of students?
Commuter Parking & FDU
I am back! After a few weeks of soccer and football, Teaneck politics is about to warm up with a return of an oldie but goodie- PARKING. This time, its the combination of parking meters in the business district, with many residents chiming in about commuter parking or lack thereof.
First- in regard to parking meters- the best line i heard from a township resident was if meters are on Cedar Lane they are just going to drive to the malls in Paramus. Hmmm, rather then park in the lots off of Cedar Lane which would not be metered (except Beverely Road & River Road outside of the district) or spend a quarter on Cedar Lane, these bitter citizens would rather drive in traffic miles wasting time and gas. My feeling- if you can't appreciate the turnover in parking that it would allow, or can't walk the 300 feet from the lots, you probably aren't needed on Cedar Lane and sure as heck not spending a whole lot of money.
Second- in regards to commuter parking. While i definitely understand the concerns of the residents who live on the blocks nearest the bus stops, there is undoubtedly some relief needed to those that need to get to the buses. How about the FDU lot? Anybody who drives through, to or from Teaneck knows there is a surplus of spots, and wouldn't this go great with the Councils non-profit give back initiative? Most major buses stop there, with the exception of the popular 167. My answer to that is the parking garage proposed for the Plaza district. Speaking of that, what ever happened there?
