The Great Teaneck Theory

I am not sure who needs the medication or what type to prescribe. There are many that seem to be suffering from Bipolar Hypocritical Cynics Syndrome. They claim they want clean campaigning and then Teaneck Divided sends out nasty divisive letters, postcards and ads.

Other blogs kvetch in a post of "have yourself a cup of...." And then go on to post links to community hate meetings and recently attacks Mayor Katz for putting together a happy feel good Teaneck video (with his own money).

At today's Memorial Day street fair, Senator Weinberg's booth was giving out dirty, negative campaign literature about the upcoming June primary. To my surprise, it was the same graphics that was used in the May Council election. Is it TRUE that the Senator's office was behind a local, non partisan Teaneck election? Say it aint so!

Negative campaigning: Now that doesn't sound like the sweet Weinberg we all know and love.

Did I see our Deputy Mayor Parker's name on a Democratic County Committee election as a candidate?

So what is the moral of today's "truth" lesson? Hypocrisy is an active sport in Teaneck and our non partisan government is a great cover. It should really be called non participation government, oh, unless you are a Weinberg Democrat.

Monica in the Hot Seat

At Tuesday nights Council meeting Council member Honis was questioned again about her Gas Chamber remark and again she didn't comment.

The question I have is, the fact that she was just reelected, is her remarks a mute point or should our elected officials be responsible for their words and actions.

(We all remember Galluci and the fire dept comments)

I keep hearing excuses about her.

Ok, so let me understand this. She votes to raise our taxes and contributes nothing on Council (how many council listed items in the last four years did she initiate- i was just told none- calling Mr Abbot and Mr Sohn- please confirm)

Now she is insensitive to her constituents.

I wasn't the biggest Monica supporter before, but now, to protect the integrity of Teaneck, Monica must go.

Let's Move On

Results are in, the council format has been established.
Lets hear about what they should do next:
Build out American Legion Drive

Jitneys

Swim club ?.....

And here on in you need to use a registered "name" to post- the 250 postings of the last string appear to be from 10 people, bitter and hateful if i may say so.

The Results are in...

Toffler 3354- winner
Monica 2990- winner
Hameedudin 2905- winner

Rudolph 2851
Robinson 2830
Jackson 2571
Goldman 2126
Rose 1311

The Final Countdown

In less then 24 hours Teaneck residents will find out if the town will fall in to the hands of fiscally irresponsible management as demonstrated by years of Monica Honis votes and the vocal supporters of Teaneck Divided; or will Teaneck residents have proper fiscal management as demonstrated by Goldman and Team Teaneck.

Oh- Just in case the Abott Meter is broken, yes, Toffler's mail and ads have been negative.

So, who is going to win this wacko election.

Put your prediction on the record. And use creative names so I don't have to stop allowing anonymous postings.

Where is Weinberg?

Silence is deafening.


Loretta Weinberg has been a visible fixture in Teaneck politics for many years. (for the record I have never met her personally)

She sent out a mailing 2 years ago for Parker and 8 others in an election for four seats (we all remember it as the letter referring to voting for some people because of their gender).

She sent out a letter supporting Katz, Dworkin and Honis several years before that and two employees from her office were in attendance at the Monday night north east block association/ Teaneck United rally for Honis.

She also tried to create a forum this week with members of the Hispanic community for " her candidates" (I assume Honis, Toffler and Jackson- Inside Bergen.com has seemed to indicate as that they are Weinberg supported).

So my question is-- WHERE IS WEINBERG?:


Monica Honis probably said one of the most insensitive comments to the Jewish Community and probably all communities for that matter. A couple of key elected officials and supporters are noticeably silent.

This is not election fodder, this woman should not be on our Council.

Toffler made her NY Times comment that offended many in the Jewish Community:::::no apology

Honis makes her public comment about "the gas chamber"::::::no apology.

Does Weinberg really stand with them? And is this behavior acceptable?

New Poll

See the new poll to the left

I am speechless

"going to the council without my running mates would be like going to the gas chamber"

"I chose my words very carefully knowing full well there was a 98 percent chance that some person would take my words and turn them around to make them something they were not meant to be"

Sure monica

"And the Truth shall set you Free"

Calling All Hypocrites and Kvetchers

The Team Teaneck aka Katz Team has come under fire this week for an ad that was put out by Robinson. This was their "dirty" piece. To me, it was their "truth" piece. Honis has a horrible public record on taxes. Katz wrote in the County Seat and Suburbanite that she:
1) voted for a police hiring package that would cost taxpayers over 60,000,000.
2) voted against the financial advisory board
3) voted against the new Glenpointe office building that would bring in over 800,000 in new taxes.
4) Voted against the budget that will deliver a zero municipal tax increase

What has she done for the taxes?

So what's the problem with Robinson pointing out the "truth". Maybe because its combating all of Monica's lies. After all, it is Teaneck United that has attacked the revaluation at these forums, so I can't blame Robinson for pointing out another one of Mayor Monica's smoke and mirror shows.

And who has been slinging mud? Could it be negative campaigning when Teaneck United holds a public forum at St. Marks Church filled with lies and innuendos with the only purpose to defeat Team Teaneck. Or maybe its negative when Teaneck United goes on a writing blitz and attacks Team Teaneck in the Suburbanite and the Record.

Or is it negative when Honis attacked Katz at the Bryant school and in the Record.

No this is not negative campaigning.

So let's move on.

How about Teaneck United's Tooth Fairy Ad about the Council.

Has anyone seen the police report against a certain Teaneck United organizer that allegedly verbally assaulted and harassed a Team Teaneck supporter from the north east.( Ax of the Record and Prosnitz have the Suburbanite have them)

Or maybe you have spoken to the merchants on Teaneck Road that were allegedly badgered by a Teaneck United supporter and North East Teaneck Road Block Association President.

Or the countless emails from Bill Morning attacking Team Teaneck. How about the Abbot family assault machine? Does that count?

Have we been sleeping or is denial no longer a river in Teaneck.

I am glad to see Robinson finally striking back. I was beginning to think that Team Teaneck had no back bone.
