And therefore?
You asked me a question, and I gave you an answer.

Now let me ask you a question - when was the last time you checked?

That does not show any control of votes

When they lost school board elections.

There is no question that the politicians are able to easily influence many votes, but the days of it being a slam dunk are long gone.

I've been in Lakewood during the slam dunk days. I agree that they are now over. It doesn't take away from the fact that there are still THOUSANDS of BMG puppets.

If it wasn't the case, this town would look ALOT different . Give it a few more years, and the puppets will be the minority.

BMG puppets are the worst issue here.
The whole TWP management is retarted if it would be up to voting by people who actually voice their opinion and care about it Lakewood would be a whole different place. This place needs a major change.

There were plenty of times when all the "BMG puppets" boycotted the "BMG candidate", so believe it or not, most people do think for themselves. One example that comes to mind is Menendaz Vs. Karilos. The Vad/BMG endorsed Menendez, and Korilos won Lakewood by a landslide.

Anyone who votes for the Vaad endorsement is not doing so because they feel obligated but because they feel it is in their best interests.

BTW, I am not sure what everyone is so surprised about with this snowstorm. When was the last time Lakewood did a good job of plowing?

It's not that everyone is surprised, it just went terrible but manageable to impossible, my car was ready to go mtz"sh but I couldn't even get on to the street till after 3pm Sunday because not a single plow came by
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Nope. You may disagree with them as to whether or not they are correct, but the way Corzine and Menendez lost Lakewood in landslides belies your assertionthat they do it blindly.

Ok but it's still absolutely unacceptable. The reason why it became impossible is not relevant, if the would have done a good job every other time and now screwed up terribly it would be forgivable but since they never did a good job it's something that must be fixed (but I don't expect any change)
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You frikin lucky plowers arrived by me at 9 PM.
And sorry to say this but no matter what excuse people will give the way it was done makes no sense and is unacceptable. Enough of feeling bad for these people they have the management in their hands and its time they actually did something with it.

Lol. I'm not here to fill you in on how things work in this town. All I can say is - I'm have first hand knowledge about the  goings on in the "back office" that's running this town,  unfortunately I cant share any more info here.

I said what I had to say.

I'm out.

Maybe that's why. The township added a large percentage to their responsibilities which they were/are not required to do when they started plowing association owned developments. There is no way for that not to be to the detriment of everyone else.

BTW, I am pretty sure that the plows which were busty at the public schools have nothing to do with the township and did not make one iota of a difference to the streets.
