You totally read my mind Tracy!! I'm cracking up right now!

Hahaha...me too Stacie! Great comment Tracy.

That's a pretty ignorant and childish remark and totally uncalled for. I may not agree with everything Kevin Nedd says but we need some voices of dissent in this township of fools who are happy to be led around by the nose every year by the same incompetents. And Stacie - I used to respect your posts but you have lost me now. All your talk of being "nice" and standing up against bullies on your blog has just been shown to be a lot of hot air. Would you want someone to treat you children this way? Shame on you!

I agree with "the word go." And Lazorchak....you're not in a position to be making fun of anyone. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Not much to add except how residents of Washington Township deserve the incompetent leaders they continue to elect. Besides this…it is currently 77 degrees and sunny in Honolulu. On Friday, it's projected to reach 79 degrees with a low of 70. The frigid personalities of Tracy, Stacie, and Linda should be right at home during Long Valley’s projected low of 18 on Friday.

79 degrees? Wow, where are you, Mr. Nedd? You and your wife are lucky to be out of this cold. Brrr!

Nedd--what is this overwhelming, narcissistic need you have to mention in almost every comment of yours, where you live? Who cares? We're not impressed. Are you that insecure that you can only validate yourself by assuming readers of your posts are green with envy? Not.....

If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't bother commenting. Enjoy the snow this weekend!

Mr. Nedd, I could not follow why someone living 6000 miles away commented so much about Washington Township. Then someone said you that actually your home is here, and your wife lives here? Was she here all alone during the power outage?

Given the taxes I continue to pay for the propery I own in Washington Township, my comments are more than justified.

I am trying to understand why this was so personal to you. Was your wife here alone during the blackout? There were warming stations and food available.

My "personal" concerns are simple...I expect competence and good judgment from elected officials charged with spending my hard earned tax dollars. The whereabouts of my family during the storm or otherwise are none of your business.

This entire storm internet flame thing has suddenly become crystal clear. Nedd, you left Venus here alone the entire blackout? WTF is wrong with you?

The whereabouts of my family is none of your business. However, I can say my spouse wasn't in the arms of another man. History tells us the same couldn't always be said for Gail.

Seeing as they were elected unanimously by the three guys you mention, clearly they were the best two for the job in the minds of their fellow committeemen, who would be in the best position to know.

As for the comments above, I think it is in poor taste to poke sticks at the village idiot. He is too be pitied not teased. Let us hope the level of discourse on the Patch can rise in 2013.

I think the town should investigate the cost of a low power AM radio transmitter in lieu of digital sign boards. The AM radio transmitter would be a lot less visually obtrusive, and it would be able to reach EVERYBODY in town instead of only those people who happen to drive past a sign. Also, you can convey a lot more meaningful and detailed information via radio than you can via a sign. In fact, if the sign has enough information to be useful, it's probably a hazard because someone will be trying to read it while driving instead of watching the road. Also, if the idea is to convey emergency-related information on the signs, then it's only minimally useful, because if there really is an emergency, people should be staying off the roads unless the travel is absolutely necessary anyway. Everyone with a car most likely has an AM radio available at all times (in the car), and everyone should have a battery operated or crank-up powered AM radio inside their home anyway. We got plenty of highly useful and detailed information via WRNJ radio (1510 AM and 104.7 FM) after Sandy, and until the town gets its own AM transmitter, we can make very good use of WRNJ. They seemed quite willing to put "regular programming" on hold during the storm and just broadcast storm-related stuff until things were all cleared up.

First, if it's an major weather event where everyone is told to keep off the roads, a sign in front of the town hall will serve very little purpose. Second, while radio broadcasts are helpful, how about that new fangled invention called the internet??? While there was much helpful info on the Long Valley Patch during Sandy and its aftermath, there was virtually nothing on the town website. Why wasn't that utilized to pass along information to residents??? Lastly, while we received long-winded phone messages about school closings on a daily basis, there were messages concerning general information (ie; road closings, JCP&l updates, etc.). Why doesn't the mayor and council use the Honeywell instant alert system to disseminate information during times of crisis?

From all reports, the “Draft Tracy” momentum reached a frenzy pitch and Tobin fed it by arriving fashionably late, only to quash the hopes of the faithful. All newly elected officials and municipal new hires left en mass shortly after induction waking Jason in time to get home to file his Patch report. :)

Well, here's what I find curious Tracy. During the election season, we get any number of phone messages from local, state and federal candidates who are seeking office. In fact, in 2008, our good friend Kevin Nedd gave up on the road signs he used in 2005, and utilized phone messages instead to get his word out. I don't understand why all these political candidates (as well as our schools) somehow find a way to send out these phone messages, but our mayor and council supposedly has great difficulty doing so. What I also find ironic is that during the November 2011 meeting with JCP&L, Mayor Short blasted the utility company for not using Honeywell system to keep its customers informed, and yet the mayor did not take his own advice and use it during Hurricane Sandy. Even if Mayor Short had nothing significant to report, I think if all the residents sitting in their cold, dark houses knew that he was doing everything he could to work with JCP&L to get the situation resolved, that would have gone a long way.

The Mayor didn't have access to the proper resources to report he had nothing significant to report (with respect to his actions). The 2 phone lines from his suite in Aruba were tied up calling room service and making reservations for another round of golf.

If you don't care then why all the questions? Kinda hard to undo looking like a nosey fool!

"Honolulu is a cesspool, one of the most crime-ridden cities in the US, most of it unreported for tourism purposes and kept within the Asian gangs."

You must have graduated from the Lotito School of Facts & Figures. Your hogwash "unreported" claim notwithstanding (as if other cities don't have tourism or ethnic gangs), Honolulu doesn't even rank in the top 100 dangerous US cities.
