They Said That?
I will revisit the best little gems of insane foolishness brought to you by the brain trust of the Berkeley Heights Town Council and the Board of Education. “This isn’t about Liza” – LOL! We owe great thanks to Jeanne Kingsley (Council) for stating this multiple times, in response to the overwhelming number of residents advocating for Liza’s reappointment. At...
The Vote Surrounding Competent Town Administrator Remains Shrouded in Mystery…but not really
I will start this article by thanking Mr. Varnerin for responding to an email I sent to the Town Council last week concerning the decision not to reappoint Liza as Town Administrator. After almost two years of BOE members openly admitting they don’t read parent emails or having the personal experience of hearing BOE members accusing parents of bad actions...
Ladies and Gentlemen – The Real Jeanne Kingsley
Politics is ugly. We have endured manipulative, back-door dealings by our elected representatives over the last few years on the Board of Education (BOE) and Town Council. Ironically, these puppeteers, if you will, are starting to spiral out-of-control and we are seeing just how ugly and cruel people can be. For those of you who are somewhat ‘new’ to the...
KINGSLEY AND VARNERIN ENGAGE IN CREATIVE WRITING EXERCISE AS RESPONSE TO BACKLASH
The shock waves from the RMC vote to oust Township Admin Liza reverberate through our township. Statements made by Varnerin and Kingsley with disingenuous apologies embedded into failed attempts to reassign the blame have failed miserably. Instead of apologizing, they pull out all the stops to pretend this wasn’t their fault. The vote was political retaliation for a host of...
Competent Town Admin fired because the Kingsley Tribe is mad about losing another mayoral election
UPDATE: a petition has been created by residents encouraging the Town Council to reverse their decision and hire Liza back. As the number of parents who are questioning the competence of the Superintendent and District’s Business Manager grows exponentially (to the point now where the Board Attorney and BOE President appear to be infringing on resident’s rights to speak through...
THANK YOU, Berkeley Heights!
First and foremost, thank you to the Berkeley Heights voters for your support and confidence in me. From my Mama Squad, softball Dad brigade to the many Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who took the time to vote, my most humble gratitude. To the text groups who kept me laughing daily, with funny videos, silly jokes and even-keeled perspective (and you...
Mayoral Candidate Jeff Varnerin Gambles with Lies and Loses
Lies never pay, Jeff! This year was one year that I really wanted to vote straight line republican, “red wave”, and that is what I planned to do, UNTIL Mayoral Candidate Jeff Varnerin ran political ads based on outright lies. Jeff Varnerin blamed Mayor Angie Devanney for the problems with the Municipal Complex and with the 1408 new apartments...
Where We Go From Here
“The First Order wins by making people think they are alone. We’re not alone.” —Poe BHCW has, for over a year, provided a space for deep, fact based discussion about local government – especially our BOE. I have never been shy about expressing an opinion, but I have never done it at this level. BHCW was born out of the...
GO Out And VOTE!!!
First and foremost, this post is to encourage you to go out and VOTE. It is your privilege and right to have a say in local government. Although I have been opinionated and adamant in those I am supporting, I respect your decision to vote for the candidates you believe will best fulfill his/her role. So who’s on tap? MAYOR ...
