first of all, i'd like an example of my drivel?
second of all, i was referring to your judgement of an entire town by
what is posted by 15 people on an internet message board.
Third, i have been an advocate of not having political discussions on
this board.
Fourth, and this one is important - Memorial day for completion was
never a possibility. We all knew that and discussed it when that was
announced during the winter. It was physically impossible to
complete in that timeframe. It was done to create a buzz about the
town to outsiders and to force the hand of the local government to
act in a business like fashion and not a political fashion (I'm not
sure if you know about the 100k dollars Madison marquette had in
escrow to expedite meetings, decisions, approvals etc.. that the town
would have to deal with due to overtime to town employees). It was
probably also done so that everyone was aware of how fast the
developers wanted to move and they wouldn't tolerate "the kickbacks"
and under the table payments that have gone on in this town and
others in Jersey for generations.
I was not lied to by Madison Marquette, they spent a boatload of
money this summer to make things better. I am not going to be a
maniac over a date that was meant to spark enthusiasm and get the
wheels in motion.
We also live in a town that has drugs and gangs, so much for your
fantasyland. We came here to hopefully be a part of something that
improves. Why don't you do the same or go spread your cheer in
another town.
