after attending Thursday night's board
meeting where I had typed questions in
English and Spanish and despite the
board attorney Mr uh zimer saying we'll
give him the answers and no one could I
did a little more
research and what I've seen is a few
things first of all in an opah request I
got something called proposed
legislative changes this is what they
were talking about on and on the board
uh the board attorney they're going to
somehow get trenten to change
legislation about busing this has been
something going on for at least 3 to 12
years uh it should be changed but let's
not Bank on that then I actually
reviewed through an Oprah request I made
of the township an email an email
between Mr aara and Mr lonstein Copy to
commissioner hesie and other people in
the state and it's almost amazing if it
wasn't in writing it's almost not
believable if it wasn't in writing Mr
Zara tells the township committee that
he never needed and nor did the district
need the $6.2 million he asked for in
the
referendum now I checked I went on the
scoop I saw that was the referendum
everyone knows that was the question and
he says right here on February 11th at
1147 a.m. Thursday he says for a number
of strategic and legal reasons we felt
raising the full 6.2 million would be in
the best interest of the district but
yet he acknowledges they only need 2.5
million in the same email now again I'm
not here to fight Mr aara because I kind
of like him but the fact is just like in
the toaya case and many others someone
is giving him wrong information because
how do you go out to the voter how do
you affirm for a referendum to be
printed and to go through the Ocean
County Board of Elections you have to
affirm the monies you're asking for are
legitimate this email shows something is
strange in Lakewood in Trenton in New
Jersey how could you ask for 6.2 million
and you really only need 2.5 and I have
to give credit to the township committee
Mr lionen who is spearheading this whole
thing
his dedication to this fight has saved
taxpayers because now there is a quote
unquote deal on the table we no longer
need 6.2 yes we just asked for that in
January no we didn't win the lottery but
because of Mr lonon in the township
committee's Valiant efforts to get to
the bottom the state is now saying Mr
aara who said publicly who said in a
referendum he needs 6.2 he own only
needs
2.5 now 2.5 is still 2.5 let's not
forget we already have the million
dollars the township committed so it's
an additional
1.5 we would have never known this but
for apparently threatened litigation as
Mr aara says himself are you speaking
with enzel buuk now again I'm not sure
inel book here inel book there the fact
is the taxpayers whether you be a seni
your citizen Orthodox africanamerican
Latino whoever you are you were all
almost duped if you would have voted for
the
6.5 we don't need it we only need 2.5
how do you explain that you
can't and I then went and looked got it
through an Opa request the auditor
report as of June 30th
2015 now at the meeting you know that
auditor nice guy I guess reads off a a
script then he leaves so he can't answer
any questions that was almost amazing
and everyone else couldn't ask any
questions and then the superintendent
who I know it's not popular but I got
along with she's sitting in the
background she doesn't get to talk to
that she asks Gus to answer questions he
doesn't have a computer to answer
questions not allowed on his own
computer and no one has questions or no
one has answers I had questions and I'm
looking at the audit report and it does
doesn't match what Mr aara is writing
here Mr aara is writing in the series of
emails at least it doesn't appear to
again I'm you know just a Lakewood High
School graduate so I may not read or
write well and I may not do math well I
probably don't do math well but now he's
saying this money we need not the 2.5
not the 6.2 but there's eight or9
million that have been ongoing
Transportation debt for several years I
don't understand how that could be how
could they be carrying 8 or n million in
debt and let no one know about it I saw
the board president I saw Mr zaken they
all are saying correctly so they didn't
know about this and the board attorney
until December well Mr aara knew about
it for several years the auditor I'm not
sure what he
knew but something is strange and then I
went and looked at Mr Zara's contract
which I got through Oprah Mr aara it
says is appointed by the commissioner
the department of Ed and one of his
duties on page two paragraph B2 is to
direct all business office activities
including but not limited to the
preparation of monthly Financial reports
now let me get
this Gus and Tara Tara being an
administrator of busing and this other
person Frank rank all of them um well
Gus can't get onto his computer so but
they put together these routes after the
August C2 agreement the way it works in
every Board of V is you book them on the
computer and the computer line item
tells you if you have money or not now
all of these contracts presumably were
approved in
September and you only found out in
December you didn't have enough money
doesn't make sense but what does make
sense is that the commissioner in his
contract with Mr aara which by the way
we pay for we pay it says that we can
get rid of the state monitors on Page
unnumbered by paragraph 5 termination
removal for cause in the event the state
monitor shall commit an act or Omission
I don't think Mr aara purposely did this
again he's a nice guy he means well out
in Pennsylvania he's going to come
decide how lake with New Jersey works I
got it but the only thing I don't
understand is how did he and the state
not know that we were short these
millions not just in busing but in
everything if according to his emails of
last week which I might add were only
written because his first email to the
committee on let's see when this was was
Wednesday Wednesday at 7:13 p.m.
Wednesday February 10th he says before I
put anything in writing Mr Zara says
please indicate that any negotiations or
discussions will be serious and in good
faith as you can see below inel buuk by
the way my first name is Michael as you
can see below inuk on behalf of bus
companies has already made demands and
legal threats to the superintendent and
already mentioned discussions that
occurred at our meeting this afternoon
no now Mr lickstein didn't tell me
anything about that meeting people from
the state told me about what happened at
that meeting because they sat there and
watched the commissioner refer to in
other emails as Dave he'll remember that
the special Children's Center he'll
remember the emails between him and
Helen toaya that were produced or he was
copied on something is wrong here what I
suggest wrap this deal up now 2.5 you
already committed one 1.5 is nothing to
sneeze at but I have one more point for
you as the attorney for four of the
vendors who transport more than
85% of the public and non public school
children my strong advice to them is and
will continue to be unless something I
don't know comes up do not go and rebid
you know all those new bids they just
put out changing routes but they're
really not changed but they are changed
don't do it forget about the tearing
problem we spoke about last time how can
you trust the Board of Ed if they give
you a contract put something in writing
that they won't change it again that's
what they're doing now so the answer
is there's no magic from now through
June 30th keep the busing the way it was
find the 2.5 million that Township
already committed a million to their
credit 1.5
million ain't a little but it's going to
go a long way
