Political Signs In August?

What’s tackier than Christmas decorations before Halloween?  Political signs before Labor Day.

The Matawan Democrats put their signs out two weeks ago.  The Republicans responded by promising to pass a sign ordinance if they take control on election day.   A sign ordinance in Matawan wouldn’t keep this sign from being posted even on the 4th of July.  It’s in Aberdeen and is their, on Township property, with the blessing of Aberdeen Mayor Fred Tagliani who is very fond of the Cannon boys.

Republicans are taking orders for their signs on facebook.

Meissner forms exploratory committee for 2020 U.S. Senate race

Stuart Meissner, an attorney from Bergen County, announced today that he has formed an exploratory committee for the 2020 GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Cory Booker.

Booker, a Democrat candidate for the 2020 nomination to lose to President Trump, has not yet indicated if he will also seek reelection to the Senate.  Under a recent law signed by Governor Phil Murphy, it is now legal for a former Newark mayor to run for Senate and either President or Vice President simultaneously.

Meissner has run against Booker previously.  He was an Independent candidate in the 2013 special election that Governor Chris Christie scheduled for August to fill the vacancy which resulted upon the death of Senator Frank Lautenberg,  Meissner ran on a platform on alimony reform, according to NJ.com

Welle holds a party in his neighbor’s yard without permission.

The stunt Welle pulled in Rumson last weekend is downright bizarre.   He held a party in his neighbor’s backyard without her permission. Kathleen Patchell Manning returned home from church to find that Welle and his guests had set up a party with tables, chairs, grills and a badminton net while she was worshiping.  Manning’s trampoline was moved within her property to be closer to the Welle action.

By Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone

Freeholder Director Tom Arnone

I hope everyone is having a great summer! I cannot believe we’re just a few weeks away from Labor Day!

At our August 7^th Freeholder Meeting, the Board awarded a $9.2 million contract to Hall Building Corp. to complete interior renovations to the Seaview Building, a former commercial building the County owns next to the Seaview Square Mall. This $9.2 million award is a $2.3 million savings to the County and 22% less than we anticipated.  Read the rest of this entry »
