IN TODAY'S NEWS..................

Lillian Burry picked as Director of the board of Freeholders. It will be very interesting to see how things change under her guidance. I wish her good luck. I think she will need it.

Democrat Freeholder John DaMico promises tax relief. It will be interesting to see what services he cuts or can it be done with operating efficiencies? This bears watching.
While I hate waste and inefficiency I also do not mind paying for good services.

The Board of Elections dispute continues. Honestly it sounds as if both sides are screwed up.
The Board is not on top of things and the County is playing patronage games. Interesting how the Lanes have popped up in this. They have been friendly with everybody from former indicted Freeholder Director Harry Larrison to Party Maverick Terrance Wall to powerful assemblyman (now retired) Mike Arnone to reformer Anna Little. The list of people they have ticked off is just as long but they are survivors. They seem very adept at making a living as "public servants". Exhibit 1 as to why political patronage is a bad thing? Perhaps.

Not in the newspaper (yet) but reported in MORE MONMOUTH MUSINGS it's Baaack!
Yes Tyranny lives in Monmouth County the Screening Committee is alive and well.
I am sure that this will be addressed in more detail in future posts.

Ahh nothing gets the blood flowing in the morning like a good news day and a big cup of coffee.

Have a nice day.
