Give him a break - he didn't say he had a good track-record!

For those unfamiliar with the case, if you would like to find out why Mr. dOTY will never run for the BOE again, just click --> here

Maybe he'll run for mayor again?  Nah....

Wow.  Look at that.  Two gramatical errors by our resident-genious-who-is-better-than-all-of-us.  I believe usage does not have an 'e' in it Mr. doty.  And I also believe, there's only one 'a' in 'I was a BOE member'.

My, my, my, how far the perfect have fallen.  Imagine, ted making both spelling and grammatical errors in the same statement.  We didn't think it was possible.

Sorry about the typo and spelling error in my previous post.

Anyway, you folk need to find more pertinent issues especially if aim is to be hurtful.  Actually, my ethics complaints were well founded.  The problem is that the Ethics Committee is a group of educators passing judgment on other educators.  It’s a little difficult to get them to rule against their own (it was probably foolish to try but they’re the only enforcement agency we have.)

All of my complaints revolved around the fact that the teachers union has too much control over the district and the BOE.  Most of you probably believe that as well; if you don’t, you haven’t lived here long or had a child go through Copeland.

My last Complaint involved the non-renewal of Peter Elbert who was, among other things, resolving the respect for authority issue.  Thirteen months ago the Union had a private sit-down with board members to bitch about Elbert and a couple of months later the board canned him.  I lost the Complaint and got fined but at least I got involved.  A couple of you moaned about the fires at Copeland.  Where were YOU when I was trying to improve things?…On the couch?  

Last summer I wrote a letter to the editor, it was in response to a letter Ted had written which appeared to be in favor of the CC application. In this letter I said Ted has had some interesting and valid points in the past, some of which I agreed with, but this time I think he is completely wrong.  I still stand by this statement.  Ted is not the issue here.  Ted has had his battles with various issues in town, he tends to see things from a far different position then the majority. 

The problem began with the CC matter when he choose not to look at the facts or hear his neighbors concerns, thus he has his opinion that will not change regardless of the facts.  You can say what you will about Ted, however you are feeding what he seeks most, your attention.  Efforts are better placed focused on the applicant, the issues surrounding CC and the majority of people in Rockaway Twp.

Infrastucture, environment, traffic, taxes THESE ARE THE ISSUES.  Please show up on March 11 and bring your neighbors with you, be part of the process.

Sincerely,

Lisa

Thank you Bystander. 

You know Lisa is correct; I’m not the issue here.  But did you notice how I was (in Karen’s opinion) Baited yesterday with an onslaught of personal attacks.  Then Lisa makes the comment that I like to draw attention to myself..  Hey, I didn’t bring “me” up; Lisa and my attackers did.  Oh well, better folk than Lisa have tried to discredit me using the same tactic

Lisa, way to go.  Did everyone notice how she drew attention to herself by telling us what she wrote in a letter many months ago?  You see Lisa on her last few minutes of her allotted fifteen and she needs the accolades she was getting early on.  If you stroke her a little she may raise her hands in air and strut across a stage begging for money, like she did at Copeland  

And Geez Lisa could you be anymore cryptic about the point of my letter?  For those who care, Lisa is trying to have me bring up the issue of race.  That way she can stir things up, make me more of a lightning rod…. and probably beg for more donations.  Clever girl, huh?

Ted, you are wrong again.  What the %^(% are you talking about the race issue???  YOU JUST BROUGHT THAT UP for no reason but to drag that BS back into the conversation.  Let me state VERY CLEARLY - RACE HAS NO ROLE WHATSOEVER in this application.  Those who see race as the issue are really stretching to find fault with a towns concern over ENVIRONMENT, INFRASTUCTURE, TRAFFIC AND TAXES. 

Ted, I have tried to be respectful to you however it is clear that YOU are not deserving of this respect.  

To those who have been stating their opinions about Ted... go for it.

Lisa
