[AsburyPark] Re: Hamilton Jury In and Deadlocked
Mistrial in today's APP. I hope he's acquitted. Some in AP, wanted him out of the way, so we could have the debacle we have in AP! He was the voice for the voiceless and wouldn't accept anything from anyone, for nothing! Just as some support Weldon, I support John!

We have decided that will will not come to a unanimous decision on any of the counts, said a note delivered from the jury to U.S. District Court Judge Jose Linares. An earlier note to Linares asked what would be the case if the jury came to an agreement on some, but not all, of the charges. The second note, however, said they were deadlocked. The panel of six men and six women began deliberating shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday and finished the day without a verdict. Hamilton has been charged with offering public, no-bid contracts to a demolition contractor a role played by FBI informant Robert Duke Steffer in return for having a driveway installed at his home. Steffer was working for the FBI as an undercover informant, and his conversations with Hamilton were recorded. Steffer played a pivotal role in the investigation, culminating in the arrests in 2005 of more than a dozen public officials and vendors in the Monmouth County political corruption probe dubbed Operation Bid Rig. Authorities had Steffer pose as a corrupt contractor and loan shark in dealings with public officials in Monmouth County and several towns between 2001 and 2004. Hamilton is accused of accepting a bribe and bartering to get a driveway installed at his home in 2001; in exchange, authorities say, Hamilton was to steer municipal contracts to Steffer's fictitious company. Hamilton pleaded not guilty to the charges Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Van Zandt's School Music - We're a bit late
I agree! Why can't the method in the Charter Schools, be used in AP schools? It's Federal money, that should be used in the public school! Not knocking anyone's choice, where to send their child, but my parents PAID my tuition, no one gave them anything and it was their choice to send me to private school! Who pays my parents back? Asbury Park, HAD a sterling reputation! You can see it by the structure of the High School. The building, itself, rivals anything on Princeton's or Monmouth's campus! What can the parents do, to get our system, back in order? Without good teaching professionals, strict discipline, order and a good administration, it's no wonder the system is in the toilet! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: .

Tom I think that if you ever wanted to do the one thing in your life that could truly help Asbury Park, this might be the answer. I think many would support you in this endeavor.

I know this would be just an estimate. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, justifiedright justifiedright@ wrote: Oak it looks like we ended up agreeing in the end. I have no problm with choices people make. Go to private school, move to a good public district, etc. I support all of it. I do have a problem with government screwing things up by injecting themselves into it, which is what wrecked APHS - not parental choices. When buying a house, I absolutely avoided Asbury Park and the sending district because the High School is now segregated. I know that many, many other people did the same. That wasn't the case before the RBR ruling. I went to APHS with the sons of doctors, lawyers and millinaire businessmen. Yes, having that demographic was helpful to the poorer kids. That's gone thanks to the ruling. Look at real estate listings. Many of them list private schools on the listing so as not to list APHS. I laugh and cry everytime I see it. Since Avon no longer goes to APHS, their real estate has skyrocketed, now topping $1 Million on the MEDIAN house sale, and holding steady in this downturn. Everything changed when the Commissioner ruled that RBR having a better music program than Asbury Park is more important than whether a black kid goes to a segregated school. Read the decision that Mario linked. That was the ruling. It's the most bigoted, racist piece of government work I've seen in my lifetime, and it is shamelessly ignored. It's ignored because those with the political power in the area benefit from the ruling (like Avon); those without the power suffer from it (Asbury). Just imagine the classic busing issue: If a primarily white school in the area was suddenly going to be filled with poor black kids from Asbury, people would go berserk. There would be all sorts of lawsuits to stop it, with claims of government interference, social engineering, and claims that the school's natural demographic should be preserved. That ruling by the Commissioner is exactly the same thing with the colors reversed. The NATURAL DEMOGRAPHIC of APHS was racially and economically diversified, just as Ocean Township is now. The ruling destroyed that by busing the white kids past Asbury Park to another public school in Little Silver. Who is going to file the the Federal Civil Rights lawsuit claiming de facto segregation (can anyone claim that wasn't the result of the ruling with a straight face)? Are the white parents who are avoiding APHS going to do it? No. The poor black parents? I don't think so. AP Board of Ed? No, too busy gossiping and in fighting to tackle something so serious and important. If APHS was naturally segregated by race, you wouldn't hear a peep out of me. Since it is racially segregateed by the government with busing to another public school, I'm confident my objection is on the moral high ground, even if I stand alone. Standing alone though, I'm starting to feel like I don't care anymore either. The state can keep the school segregated, Asbury Park Board of Ed (Bored of Ed?) can keep taking the Abbott hush money and not challenge the segregation ruling, and none of it is going to hurt me. So why should I care? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakdorf@ wrote: TD, You and I can both stop, take residence in AP, and stick our kids there. but we haven't.

You and I have made it as well, by choosing to live in towns other then AP with a schools that are well diversified in race and incomes - that being Howell and OT.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: 10 hours on I-95
You are very funny. Maureen and I were the only ones that could see that the FCC was busting WYGG's chops for political reasons. Maureen is solely responsible for getting WYGG their power increase with her letter to Pallone. In today's world the FCC is deathly afraid of US Senators and Congressman becuase they tell the FCC who to grant licenses too and control their funding. This isn't the first time WYGG has applied for a power increase in fact it was their third. They applied for a two previously and were shot down by the FCC. This time they were granted the power increase in record time by FCC standards. They now have to kiss the AP zoning boards rear end for a waiver to put a small tower on the roof of their church. She is not on the air because they haven't even applied for the variance yet and don't have the cash to buy the new equipment needed to increase their power. They have three years to complete the project. Don't take my word for it why don't you ask Maureen yourself. Mike 2fine4u [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amen! What memories, this brings back!
