Hoboken Revolt

The Hoboken Tax Reform Coalition

Sullivan proves her incompentence

Real Results states:"Where could the cuts come from? Lots of places. The athletic budget..." Ms. Sullivan, YOU are the chair of the Athletics Committee.
Sullivan made ono cuts.
 
Real Resutls says "Despite an audit that pointed to lots of waste, the transportation budget is going up again, to $1.2 million," As the Chair of the Transportation Committee, why havent you recommended or looked into outsourcing this? What cuts have you made to this dept?
Sullivan did not recommend looking into outsourcing or made any cuts to this department.
 
Real Results says "But when the custodians' contract was being negotiated early this year, the board got virtually no concessions and agreed to over-the-top extras like a $750 annual clothing allowance for each custodian" Sullivan is Chair of the Custodial (facilites) committee. 
Sullivan signed the contact and did not make any suggestions or cuts.

I love the smell of the desperation on the eve of an election. It smells like.....
well it just smells bad.

Printing private emails for political purposes. Wow! Way to go Maureen.
Be afraid, be very afraid. Who goes under the Sullivan bus next!?

To be Honest rosethorn. Never saw that email before in my life. Who do you think I am exactly.

rosethorn said:
this email is really damming. just from the way KF has been voting the past few months, we already knew that they basically merged with the remnants of the old machine. now we find out that Carmelo was in on the negotiations over who to put on the KF ticket. We keep hearing that Carmelo backs three of the four KF candidates. Now we know why. He helped put together the ticket. Since when do reformers consult key members of the machine on who to put on their ticket? If voters elect KF tomorrow, all they're doing is bringing the machine back into power. Reform will be dead on the school board and the schools will continue to decline. Even if Minutillo wants to vote for a reform now and then, just to remember what it feels like, Rose and Irene will block her at every step, not to mention Carmelo.
And as for making up the email, Meatloaf, I'm betting you saw it at the time and this is no surprise.

Printing private emails is what's damning; nothing like burning a few bridges in public to inspire confidence and show everyone the depth of your character. Sullivan will be lucky if she ever receives another email in her life from anyone; you never know when you'll be thrown under the bus as she morphs into her next incarnation and from what some say that may already be happening. Well we keep hearing that Sullivan herself has a deal with a certain giant of the old machine to help her elect one of her slate who is now in certain circles promoting a yes vote on the budget. Is it already bye bye Reals Results and hello Maureen and the machine?

I have not been voting in lockstep with Carmelo Garcia, Jimmy Farina and Fran Rhodes-Kearns...Kids First has.

I didn't vote to give Peter Cammarano's running mate Fran Rhodes Kearns a junket to Chicago...Kids First did.
(remember, the executive county superintendent personally ruled that it was out of line and overruled it)

Carmelo Garcia wasn't "pushing" me to form a "fusion" ticket with him...he was "pushing" Kids First.

I didn't disrespect a good guy like Scott Delea...Rose Markle did. She has openly disparaged Revolt.

I didn't solicit this email from Rose Markle. She sent it to a number of people and cc'd me after I had quit Kids First. I have no idea why she sent it to me other than to prove something to her pals Mike Lenz et al. Is it email etiquette to keep a nasty email to yourself?

And trust me, meatloaf, if I were going to make it up, it would be a lot juicier. Like I said, I replaced the email addresses with names.

I have to wonder if you really are Maureen Sullivan. Your posts (rants) tonight are bordering on the bizarre - it is like watching a car crash in slow motion. Tony Soares can be incendiary, but he said nothing about your kids and where they go to school - just that they don't go to the public schools. The email you posted does not say what you claim it says. In fact, it actually shows the opposite, depsite the tortured interpretations/comments I have read. Your "woe is me" about getting slammed on the internet - I am sure Mr. Romano is having a great laugh at that comment after you annihilated him professionally. The whole "Republican" RR ticket thingy today. What gives?- Too much caffeine? You have put on quite a show tonight.

Actually it the email makes you look bad, if you read it.

Sling that glop baby!

Does anyone think Carmelo Garcia was successful in his request? That was back a long while ago. Hasn't worked out has it? ;)

Who needs to worry today? Anyone who ever wrote a private email to Maureen Sullivan!

Character over ideology.

Putting aside the ethics of posting this e-mail, maybe someone can clarify how it supports the idea that Carmello and KF are/were in cahoots?

If accurate, the e-mail clearly says that Carmello and Maureen were both pushing Scott Delea and KF said no. The implication is that Maureen and Carmello were in cahoots, not Carmello and KF.

Personally, I doubt this is true - in all liklihood Carmello was only trying to make trouble. But the Maureen/RR spin on this e-mail asks us to believe that white is black, and assumes either that we're all stupid or that we'll accept the mischaracterization without reading the e-mail itself.

If one is going to characterize the content of an e-mail as the opposite of what it actually says, it would be wiser to just lie and not publish the actual e-mail. You can't play a bluff after turning up your cards - it just makes you look foolish.
