[AsburyPark] Re: It does matter

2013-04-30 Thread oakdorf
I tailed off - 

It may not matter who gets elected is the point without being able to deliver 
a real plan of action.

Note the real plan of action. 

Not living in AP, but being there everyday more or less and having some 
interest (not as owner) in a building or 2 - there HAS been a difference - as I 
said - in the people that buy OR rent AND take pride in what they have. 


That's what you need.


I never understand the create jobs stuff - is that government jobs or public 
sector jobs ? 

One of the largest employers is right down the road - Jersey Shore Medical and 
all the doctors and related businesses. Do any of these already funded programs 
or the school have any programs towards a career in the medical field?

[AsburyPark] Here's a thought... Long Branch takes step toward Transit Village Zoning

The main area around the Transportation Center, the gateway to AP by rail and 
bus - is no doubt a __. 

So take a few notes from Long Branch and begin going for a transit zoning under 
NJ DOT

According to the NJ DOT, the Transit Village seeks to reduce traffic congestion 
and improve air quality by increasing transit ridership. One of the goals of 
the Transit Village is to bring more housing, businesses and people into the 
neighborhoods around transit stations. A benefit of the Transit Village 
designation is that it will allow for grants

[AsburyPark] ALL BUT A-TEAM DENY AFFILIATION WITH 42 BALLOT MESSENGERS

2013-04-30 Thread asburycouple
Every single allegation of sleazy and potentially illegal campaigning has been 
about the A-Team.  Asbury has a long history of shady politics that the Council 
over the past ten years has worked hard to fix.  Above all given that history, 
Asbury needs to be a place that businesses, vistors and residents feel is 
honestly run.  Is the A-Team who we want leading our city if this is how they 
are campaigning?



ALL BUT A-TEAM DENY AFFILIATION WITH 42 BALLOT MESSENGERS
TWO MORE MESSENGERS SIGN AFFIDAVITS

By Molly Mulshine
 

Three of the four tickets in the Asbury Park council race have denied 
affiliation with 42 people who are acting as ballot messengers in the election.

Campaign managers for the AP Out Front, Forward Asbury Park and One Asbury 
tickets have said their candidates are not using volunteers or paying workers 
to deliver messenger ballots to voters. Voters may designate a messenger to 
bring them a ballot to complete, which can then be mailed or hand-delivered 
back to election offices for tabulation.
The remaining slate, the A-Team, has paid 10 campaign workers to act as 
messengers, compensating them $100 per person for gathering 10 messenger 
ballots each, candidate Duanne Small has confirmed.

Two more of the people listed as messengers, Knowryl Hammary and Byron Hall, 
are named as chair person and treasurer, respectively, for all five A-Team 
candidates' personal campaign accounts.

The A-Team candidates refuse to disclose whether any of the remaining 30 
messengers are affiliated with their campaign. The A-Team candidates are Duanne 
Small, Jim Keady, Nora Hyland, Remond Palmer and Daniel Harris.

Following allegations of mishandling of ballots from the campaign manager of 
the AP Out Front ticket, County Clerk M. Claire French decided to require all 
messengers to sign affidavits affirming that they understand that breaking the 
rules governing the messenger ballot process is a third-degree crime.

French mailed the affidavits to all messengers on April 17.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office is now investigating the ballot process 
in the city as well, French said.

The Asbury Park Sun sent A-Team campaign manager John Napolitani a list of 
questions regarding the use of messengers by the A-Team campaign. The Sun asked 
about messengers' affiliation with the campaign, whether more messengers were 
paid, and how the group has ensured that ballots are delivered directly to 
voters as required.
The candidates chose not to respond to the questions, Napolitani said, and 
instead issued the following statement on behalf of all five candidates:

The A-Team is following all applicable election laws and guidelines as outlined 
by the County Clerk's office. We are committed to ensuring that the citizens of 
Asbury Park have a free and fair election.

Reached by phone today, A-Team candidate Duanne Small reiterated the group's 
statement, and added that he and his running mates are working closely with 
the County Clerk to resolve issues. He said he does not know who the 
campaign's designated messengers are, and he does not know who is in charge of 
his campaign's messengers.
Whatever the county requires, that's what we will abide by, he said.

Two more messengers signed their affidavits since last week, according to 
records in the election offices of the County Clerk. Those messengers are 
Jaisun Lewinski and Pamela S. Gideon. Thirty-five of the 42 messengers still 
have not returned their affidavits.
Since the affidavit requirement was put in place, no new messengers have 
stepped up to request ballots, according to the election offices, although some 
existing messengers have requested additional ballots.

If messengers do not return their affidavits, the Prosecutor's Office will 
follow up with the voters who designated those messengers, French said.
In total, 336 messenger ballots were taken by messengers to give to voters, 
according to records in the election offices. Ninety-six of those ballots have 
been returned to the offices by voters to be opened and tabulated on Election 
Day, leaving 240 messenger ballots that have yet to be returned.

In the 2009 Asbury Park council election, no voters requested messenger 
ballots. In that election, the fifth-place winner of the election received only 
83 more votes than did the sixth-place candidate, who did not win.

The 42 people may act as messengers for up to 10 voters. Voters can vote by 
messenger ballot by filling out a vote-by-mail [VBM] ballot application and 
designating a messenger, as well as an assistor if applicable. The messenger 
can bring the VBM application to the county clerk's office in Freehold, and 
receive a messenger ballot in return. The messenger must then go directly to 
the voter and give him or her the ballot.

From there, the voter can either mail the ballot to the county clerk's office 
or designate a bearer to bring the ballot back.

Election Day is May 14. Twenty-two candidates are vying for all five

Yup.  And the improper campaigning at the Asbury Tower early in the campaign.  
Just a whole series of things that just keep adding up.
