This has been going on forever. That’s why we have no service but pay high taxes. Be sure what you are voting for in the upcoming . elections.

Unfortunately this is the system in NJ. At least Santiago was found guilty and maybe he will think twice before he does it again. You can notice at the commission meetings now Santiago does not vote on certain police matters that he would have in the past. Quinn was found guilty of ethics charges a few years back when he was a commissioner and it still bothers him.

The AUTHOR JOESPH SOOY keeps hiding behind this blog ( created by Gary Meyer) owner of GEM Enterprise on Columbia Avenue (best friends). Wow, talk about over reaching for votes for this next election. And he said “ the Democrats do dirty stuff”. I guess “it’s the nature of the beast, trademarked by JOSEPH SOOY”

For the record I, Joseph Sooy, do not now, nor have I ever, written this blog. I wish I were able to write this eloquently. Those of you that know me, know that if I were the author, I would gladly tell you. While running for office sort of makes me a public figure, and for some reason incomprehensible to me, allows you to lie about me, which you are doing; it may open you to civil liability to do so to someone who is not a public figure. Consider two things: You may not be as anonymous as you believe and he is a pretty smart guy. I will bring your comments to his attention.

This was brought to my attention as I am Gary Meyer and I do not write this blog not did I create this blog. I have no interest in allocating this much time to Millville's politics, in fact I am on vacation and this was forwarded to me. Your comment does open you up to civil liabilities and I would encourage you to remove your post and think before you comment accusing someone of doing something, much less disparage them and or this business. I'm a small business owner, I'm not from Millville originally and have tried to be my best to make this city better as much as my resources allow. I would not allocate this much time to this blog, in fact I rarely read it, no offense to whomever writes it. Instead, I focus on my business and charitable endeavors, mainly for animals. Yes Joe is my friend 100% and a good man, that's true. I've worked with Democrats and Republicans from the city on issues relating to making the city better so your accusations are simply incorrect.

ANOTHER LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY

 Chief Farabella was just reappointed for another 3 years even though a lawsuit was filed against  Farabella and Pepitone by a city employee.The lawsuit is worth reading.  The allegations, if true, are startling. These allegations also raise the question should Farabella have been reappointed at this time? Did the commissioners look into the allegations prior to voting? The lawsuit involves the departments of Parent and Pepitone who both voted to reappoint Farabella. Did they do their due diligence? Of interest is line 55 in the lawsuit. It clearly states that Doug Long was performing legal duties for the city in 2019. Didn't the commissioners claim that Mr. Long was not involved in the city, only Marmero and Grace. Remember at election time the lack of transparency, the lies, the lack of due diligence and the waste of your tax payers money. Millville needs commissioners who are transparent, who do their due diligence and have the interests of the citizens of Millville at...

Team Santiago Raises Your Taxes Again!!!

It is no surprise that Team Santiago raised Millville’s taxes again. Last year it was by 4.5% and this year it is 5%.   The county and the school board also raised their taxes so the taxpayer in Millville is looking at a 10% increase in their property taxes. This comes at a time when many individuals are out of work due to COVID-19 and there is no end in sight. This affects not only the taxpayers but every citizen in Millville as landlords will have to increase rents and businesses will have to charge more to meet expenses. So what did Team Santiago have to say for themselves when they voted for the tax increase –nothing. As usual they did not answer the public’s questions and did not explain their votes. Mr. Pepitone once again voted for the tax increase even though he is behind on paying his own taxes. He should understand the burden of taxes as it seems to be a burden to him. In his ending comments Mr. Parent said this was the toughest budget he had to work with (wh...

WHO WILL FILL QUINN'S VACANT SEAT?

Now that Quinn has resigned for the second time, what happens to his empty seat? The commission has the option to appoint someone until the next election which is November 2022. Who do the new commissioners think that person should be? The last time Quinn resigned, Commissioner Sooy held fast to the belief that the person who came in 6th in the election should fill the seat. This time the 6th place person is Robert McQuade.  This is the only fair  scenario as the present commission has not even been sworn in yet. Hopefully Commissioner Sooy and the new commissioners will agree that Mr. McQuade should be appointed. Robert Mcquade put the time in to run for the office. The voters had enough faith in Mr. McQuade that he came in 6th with over 2000 votes. It seems fair that he takes the seat.  In November 2022 anyone can run for this open seat and then the voters will decide who the commissioner will be for the remaining three years.   Comment and post who you believ...
