  At least the reporter spelled DePetro right. 
  
  The reporter did NOT quote DePetro regarding the

  I believe you mean, debunked, where you say 
  defunked (isn't that what Asbury Partners was supposed to do to the sewer

  saying it didn't mind getting held up at gun point by Fishman. He certainly 
  doesn't say it's not true. What did you expect them to say? "Yeah, I really 
  got screwed on this deal. Question is, where the hell will I hide the $100 
  grand plus per unit that I have to make back somehow?" 
  Hmmm?

Fredy fish,
It's I good thing your a faceless sissy, or other wise Rita could 
smack that ridicules smirk of your face. I myself, was taught not to 
hit a girl. You should work as hard as she does, still has time to contribute to 
her community, and all without being a one note player. I guess you would like 
all her other customers to disappear too, so Larry could land bank some more. 
Your comments shows how afraid of the truth you are.
 
It's sad when even the sissies attack old ladies to help Larry. 
Perhaps you are on the city payroll, because anybody who had a real job would 
respect people who work everyday.
 
You could of wrote, if the city had a du diligent 
council that did not trust Weldon or hire Reidy, Jordon and Aaron, the 
city would not have Hookers, Drug Dealers, and the Partners on a dilapidated 
beachfront in 2006, that would have been a true statement. Then, I would know 
you were not a shill for Larry.
 
It is not necessary to mention and defame Rita's name or her 
business on this List, since she does not debate with us. If you want to 
say something to her say it to her face.  
 
You got shit on your face.

2006-02-18 Thread jerseyjohn99
Any facade of a lack of marketing skills is just that. How can 
someone who appears so incompetent be so successful?

Sass/Lamle are NOT knights in shining armor. They are vulture 
investors. They've built billion dollar fortunes by finding a 
dollars worth of assets selling for 10 cents, then selling that 
asset for 40 cents as fast as possible. 4 times your money in 5 
years isn't bad for anyone. Using conservative leverage that's 20 
times your money in 5 years.

Knowing what the Waterfront is worth and wanting what the Waterfront 
is worth are two different arguments. In an unfavorable business 
climate with only another 2X upside in the next 20 years, some risks 
aren't worth taking. They'll cash out & go look for another Asbury 
Park circa 2001.

I hope council recognizes the vultures position, and milks them for 
everything before they go.

2nd News Flash: Fred Fish is a hooker-drug dealer, hanging out just
outside Rita's.  

Hope this doesn't jeopardize his new appointment at Larry's new speak

Fred is Fred Fishman, runt of the litter, raised by a shepherd and his
flock in the hills just south of the Golan heights, recently reunited
with his family of Fish, as a result of a visit to a local hospital,
which involved DNA testing, after being attacked by a pack of wolves,
which left him brain challenged from an infection resulting from

Larry has appointed Fred as point man in The Partners public relations

to JJ and Dan, they know. According to tsome folks, up til august, 
sales were "robust" at the north beach. Some 90 units "sold". See what 
happens when warmer weather approaches. I use "sold" because we all 
know that until it gets closer to completetion anyone can walk - like 
all those investors should prices "soften" and rates rise.

Tom, I am surprised at you making such an allegation. What I did is 
through personal connections get in touch with the NJ bureau and 
inform them that I thought there was a newsworthy story here. They 
looked. If there was no story, they would not print any. It is not 
easy to get the NYT down here as it often gets overshadowed by larger 
NJ cities. That is the extent of my involvement; come look and see. 
They were on their own from there. Cold calling would not work. But in

"Mr. Lamle, however, suggested that some of the criticism comes from 
those who sought to pay bargain-basement prices for development on 
prime real estate."

Was he looking in the mirror when he made this statement?

Flashback, June 2001:
http://tinyurl.com/dlyhb

I wouldn't be surprised if Lamle & Sass were looking at exit 
strategies right now. They have gone through a complete business 
cycle with all of the easy money (subdevelopers) made and no revenue 
generated from the Oceanfront for the foreseeable future. 

With an inverted yield curve, defaults surging, and personal 
spending exceeding income, "happy days" will be here again soon 
enough for the vultures. They are going to have plenty more 
opportunities to make fast bucks in other distressed property, 
especially when they put the "Miracle of Asbury Park" fable on their 
resume. Having the Oceanfront liability off their back frees them up 
to screw up some other town.

I'll say by April Fool's Day they announce they're out.

1.The Depitro lie he didn't confirm.
2. He said some councilmen, that means three he only talked to two 
Keady and Bruno. Bruno didn't go where Keady went, so that leaves one 
so why didn't he talk to the other two? Maybe because he was trying to 
mislead. Only a thought.
3. March 15th is the deadline not March 30th.

I think the columnists all do their jobs well; however, the "news" in that
supposed newspaper is truly lacking.  There are a million stories happening
in the Monmouth County area every week and it seems like they never reach
Tri-City unless a press release is faxed over.

Sorry, but I prefer my "alternative papers" to be like the Village Voice
where writers launch their career from.

Easy there Gary!  You won't find anyone saying triCity did a story 
because they "called in a marker."  There is no such quid pro quo for 
journalism at triCity.  You have to go to the NY Times to find writers

Asbury Park Gives Developer a Deadline for a Project Long Overdue 
By RONALD SMOTHERS
ASBURY PARK, N.J., Feb. 15 — The Asbury Park City Council, under 
pressure to show more progress on redeveloping 56 acres on the 
blighted oceanfront, has given the master developer one month to 
negotiate changes in its agreement with the city to speed progress 
and prove its financial ability to fulfill the plan.

The attempt to push things along comes some four years after the 
city entered into the agreement with Asbury Partners, the developer. 

But it has been a battle of more than 15 years since the town's 
first ambitious efforts to revive its oceanfront became mired in the 
bankruptcy of a developer, protracted litigation, corruption 
investigations and indictments of some appointed and elected town 
officials.

There has been some progress. Construction is under way on three 
condominium projects by major developers brought in by Asbury 
Partners within the redevelopment area, just blocks from the ocean: 
the whimsical South Beach-style Esperanza, 224 condomium units in 10-
 and 16-story buildings in the center of the redevelopment area; 146 
town houses to the south on the shore of Wesley Lake; and a 156-unit 
condominium at the northern end of the redevelopment area.

The units, which areslated to sell for $400,000 to $1.1 million, 
represent 525 of the projected 3,100 residential units for the area.

But the resort town's trademark boardwalk buildings — the Convention 
Hall, pavilions, and the Casino and Paramount Theater buildings — 
which were the direct responsibility of Asbury Partners, remain 
ghostlike and largely vacant structures beside the Atlantic Ocean. 

And while Victorian mansions in inland areas have been bought up and 
given new life, the defining symbol of the city today remains the 
rusting steel girders of an unfinished high-rise condominium 
building near the ocean that was abandoned 10 years ago when the 
first developer went bankrupt.

Since 2001, when Asbury Partners, a Lakewood-based real estate and 
development company, offered to take the reins of the redevelopment 
effort, there have been so many delays and other problems that they 
have spent only $5.5 million of an estimated $60 million in 
preparation work on the infrastructure of the area, city officials 
said.

This week, council members voted to give Asbury Partners until March 
30 to amend their agreement with the city to create clear timetables 
for the redevelopment of the boardwalk buildings, produce a concept 
plan for their marketing, show clearer proof of financial ability, 
and set sanctions for failure to comply with the timetable.

Both city officials and Asbury Partners say they are making progress 
in their talks, but both sides have declared a "news blackout" on 
the negotiations and will not talk about specifics.

Deputy Mayor James Bruno, a member of the five-member City Council, 
said that the new deadline was established "because we were just 
sick of looking at those buildings down there," referring to the 
Beaux Arts Convention Hall and the other structures that the 
redeveloper bought from the city.

It is unclear how much leverage the city has to force Asbury 
Partners to speed things along. Further, there is a palpable fear 
that to push too hard could result in a round of litigation that 
would dwarf the nearly 10 years of delay and bankruptcy-related 
lawsuits that befell the city's first redeveloper.

"Maybe we should have demanded more from them earlier, but we are 
not out for revenge now," said Mr. Bruno, a two-term councilman who 
was part of a reform slate that welcomed Asbury Partners to town in 
2001 when they offered to put up money to clear the properties from 
bankruptcy proceedings. "We just want them to live up to their part 
of the agreement."

Some other council members are more skeptical.

"I don't think Asbury Partners shares our vision for the town," said 
James Keady, a recently elected councilman who is one of two members 
pressing for the amendments. " And I don't think they have the 
ability to perform."

It is not just the city or developers who have much at stake in the 
progress of Asbury Partners. For the last several years, individuals 
have invested heavily in the hopes of Asbury Park's rebirth and 
bought up sagging properties in and around the oceanfront 
redevelopment area at bargain prices in hopes of a future bonanza.

Those investments sparked further hopes that this time, Asbury Park 
was on its way back to the kind of heyday it enjoyed from the 1920's 
to the 1940's, when it was a seaside playland for the wealthy and 
the upwardly mobile.

In the last few years, renovated Victorians arrayed around three 
small lakes in the city have become visible signs of those hopes. 
They, in turn, have triggered a bustle of activity in the downtown 
area six blocks inland, where new restaurants and stores are popping 
up and a community of gays and lesbians has s

To 
   
I don't think the story was totally negative. Depitro lied in it, he 
   
didn't win anything last month, Metro  defunked what Depitro said 
   
about negotiations with the Partners, that story could of been a 
lot worse. 
The reporter got a few things wrong. I'm not impressed.
Could you explain  why you think Depitro lied, he  did win 
something(s) in court and still appealing other things in court that will 
actually help other land owners in the redevelopment zone. Are you spending any 
of your money in lawsuits to protect your property rights.
Could you explain why Glen Fishman could not connect with the the reporter. 
He connected well enough with Malina, Lofferdo, Saunders, Bruno, Weldon, and 
Aaron.
Do you think Dean Geibel 
was actually encouraged by the way in which Partners dealt with him about 
the C-8 site. You have not heard of any stories of other people doing 
business with the Partners in AP.
 I wonder what Dean will say about the Partners in a few months, in the 
next year, and what law suits will come between them in the next few 
years.
 
   In an interview, Asbury 
Partners' principals, Glen Fishman and Hugh Lamle, declined to   
discuss their dealings with subdevelopers like Mr. DePetro. Mr. Lamle, however, 
suggested that some of the criticism comes from those who sought to pay 
bargain-basement prices for development on prime real estate.
On the issue of the boardwalk buildings that 
they are supposed to develop under the plan, the two said they had conducted 
marketing studies, but they would not disclose the results. They said only that 
there was "great interest" among developers for the properties.
The builder of the Esperanza complex, Dean 
Geibel, president of Metro Homes, said he was satisfied that Asbury Partners had 
dealt fairly with him. He said that development fees and infrastructure fees, 
which affect the selling price of units, are commonly the subject of 
negotiations in such deals. He also said that he had agreed to deed over some of 
the commercial space in his planned buildings to Asbury Partners and that it was 
justified by the redevelopers' need to "control the type of retail and tone" of 
the area.
"It is the way for them to make sure that 
the beachfront area is what they want," he said. "I was actually encouraged by 
the way in which they dealt with this part."

I agree.  I don't understand why people AREN'T MADDER.  This isn't a story
that should be pushed aside for fear that it will make things worse.  This
is a story that should be on the front page of the Asbury Park Press.  It
should be in the Coaster, the Star Ledger -- even Tri City should wake up
and print some truth once in a while.

Asbury Partners may (and probably has been) hindered by too many regulations
but the fact is that they ARE moving slowly... Too slowly.  Things need to
change and only by telling the truth will that happen.

I didn't know either. Fred, I don't know who you are, so do me a 
favor and say it to my face. As for trying make the story negative, 
why would I do such a thing? What would be in it for me? In fact, I 
would only have something to lose since I am a property owner, not a 
speculator, but a house for my family. As for the pictures being 
negative, whose fault is that? The photos don't lie. They show the 
failure of Partners to live up to its obligations and those in power 
who are responsible for making them do so. I don't hide my goals; to 
make sure this city is developed in a responsible manner with the 
greatest benefit to citizens. If that calls for bringing pressure on 
the City and Partners to live up to its obligations or ousting 
Partners, then so be it. I firmly beleive that latter will be 
necessary because I cannot see Partners doing it. I'll say it again; 
the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. I think we know what it

[AsburyPark] “war, environmental deregulation, poverty”

2006-02-18 Thread Skip Bernstein
War has yet to prove capable of limiting human numbers (I suppose
nuclear Armageddon would do the trick), degradation of the environment
is an outcome of explosive growth and poverty is a double edged sword,
shortening life expectancy while increasing reproduction (look at the
third world).  

Like all species we like to do it, we're good at it, and it looks to
be our ultimate downfall; seems to survive and succeed, we need to
learn a behavior no god, culture or genetic program has ever
considered, make love for the fun of it, not to go forth and multiply.

Is not the Trust for Public Land active in NJ? A number or orchards 
and older farms have been purchased (for millions) and life estates 
given to the seller to stay on and continue and the property stays as 
open space. Of course, the funds have to be raised.

[AsburyPark] Thanks to Bruno, Keady and Johnson

2006-02-18 Thread bluebishop82
I've been giving speeches all over the County the past 2 weeks.  I'm 
very comfortable in front of strangers, and by all accounts I've 
been doing pretty well.

Last night I gave a speech in Asbury Park in front of a crowd of 
people that in large measure, I knew. I've never done that before. 
Much to my surprise, I found myself feeling quite pressured and 
nervous. I can't explain why. I felt I gave my worst performance to 
date. 

Jim Keady, who I have complimented in the past as one of the best 
public speakers I've ever seen  (if I could be him in front of a 
jury in my next case I'd probably make enough to retire) came over 
and gave some much needed tips on delivery. He's a pro at this and 
makes this very diffucult endeavor of public speaking look easy.

I greatly appreciate the advice Jim. I have another this morning and 
I think I'll get some confidence back concentrating on what you told 
me.

By the way Jim Keady, Ed Johnson and Jimmy Bruno, none of them to my 
knowledge are Republicans, braved a room full of R's to be there for 
me because I'm an Asbury guy.  I love this City.  That they were 
there added credibility to what I was doing in front of the 
Committee people that have to vote next week.

Thanks again gentleman.

It doesn't; it stops that young family.  I'm for home rule JJ so I'm 
not trying to stop the Western Communities from preserving their 
open spaces at all. I have promised to support such initiatives and 
that farmer. 

I understand the issue of suburban sprawl.  When I bought my house 
in Howell behind me was a corn field and in the winter we could take 
the most beautiful photos of snow capped Winter Rye from our second 
story. A few short years later, and now we have 16 houses there, and 
due to an unusual configuration two houses front porches overlook my 
back yard.  Feels less than private when I'm waddling around in my 
bathing suit.

Now we have 52,000 people living in the town and the classroom sizes 
are in the high 20's.  Services have not caught up to development so 
I'm getting re-evaluated right now and have been told to expect a 
50% hit in my taxes.  

There is nothing in my platform that invades home rule and stops 
open space initatives in any town that wants it. I will support it 
in the towns that want it.

What I'm asking for is that when the County involves itself in 
creating open space, that it recognizes it will be pushing families 
toward our coastal and urban areas to live.  Accordingly, when we 
buy an open space out west, I want the County to have a CORRELATIVE 
program at the shore, like a facade program in Asbury, a-rehab 
project in Long Branch and Keansburg, buy Belmar a Beach sweeper, 
etc.  Right now the Freeholders are not recognizing the coastal and 
urban towns, despite the fact that the open space programs in the 
west will burden Urban areas. I want the farmer and the young family 
that needs a place to live both serviced.

I'm just looking for some parity for our area since we are expected 
to house the people Marlboro is keeping out now that they have gone 
to 5 acre minimum zoning.

Like I said I support him.  I will say though that his real enemy is 
the Estate taxes themselves.  If we didn't have this triple tax on 
money, he wouldn't have this problem at all.

When Jules and Donald owned the Asbury Park Press, they knew that 
when they died their Estate Taxes would be so high that their kids 
would have to sell the paper to pay it (just as your Farmer friend 
fears for his kids).  They built this extraordinary family business 
and legacy but thanks to estate taxes they couldn't keep it.  Just 
like your friend they knew their kids would be seen as overly-
motivated sellers due to the tax burden and the buyers could take 
advantage of that (there's that whole negotiation skill thing 
again).  Accordingly, they were forced to sell the paper.  In the 
worst of all possible worlds, now we have Gannett, Collins and 
Hidlay in our lives.

Many people have expressed exactly this to me on the campaign trail 
regarding age-restricted housing.  You seem very informed about this 
issue.

Thanks JJ.  It is hard to be seen as honest in the AP Press.  They 
did a story about the Frheeholder Candidates recently.  They 
interviewed me for more than 30 minutes.  I got two lines.  However 
several paragraphs were devoted to the 6 Republicans that were 
arrested for Bribery in the Bid Rig scandal last year. I don't even 
know those guys.  What does it have to do with me?

They did that all last year to Republicans during the election. The 
problem is Chris Christie arrested the same amount of Monmouth 
County Democrats as Republicans that day, yet I've never seen in a 
story about a Democrat candidate the names Terry Weldon or John 
Hamilton.  

Yesterday a reporter from the AP Press talked to me again.  I 
thought Hidlay was finally cutting me a break and going to give me 
some coverage for my campaign, particularly since I'm the only 
Republican with a platform dealing with our Urban Areas.  The 
reporter wanted to know my thoughts on the first anniversary of the 
Bid Rig scandal arrests next week.

Good Grief.
