Jackson Update: Theft, Lies and OPRA | Seth Kay

Do politicians lie? Do ducks have beaks? Are Rob Nixon and Mike Reina doing all they can to fight their own Jewish residents?

The answer to all three is yes, so don’t be fooled.

Here are some facts:

Q: Did Nixon claim last month that he received the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s resolution about a local hate group too late to post the resolution?

A: Yes.

Q: Did Nixon Lie?

A:  OPRA shows that he received it 12 days before the meeting. In case you forgot: Nixon teaches a course in “Good Government” at the University of Pennsylvania. You decide if he did or didn’t lie.

Q: Did Nixon claim that hiring Marci Hamilton to fight the Orthodox could be covered by “insurance?”

A: Reina and Nixon both said “insurance has it covered.”

Q: Does Jackson have insurance to pay for routine expenses like hiring a lawyer to fight Jews?

A:  No.

Q: So who is paying for this $800 an hour lawyer?

A: You are.

Q: How much will Marci cost?

A:  There is no, cap, so her services to battle local residents can cost millions.

Q: Does Jackson have a surplus to pay for this?

A: No, Jackson just told their unions that they have no money. Jackson has no money for cops, for services, for filling potholes, but it found the money to fight Jews. And insurance is not paying for that – there is no insurance that pays for expenses like lawyers.

Q: Did Jackson have no choice but to hire this high priced lawyer?

A: Jackson already pays huge monies to Gilmore’s firm and to Jean Cipriani, who represents the Township. They also already have a land use specialist lawyer named Howard Mankoff who they (and you) are paying for. Now they hired yet another lawyer -and one with a lousy track record at winning too.

As the saying goes, some things are sure and some are more sure than others.  Jackson’s Mayor is the champion of destroying bridges and he and Nixon are lying to their constituents about a most critical issue – bias and legal discrimination and the misuse of public monies for private agendas. At a rate of $800 a hour they seem bent of bankrupting Jackson.

It’s time for the citizens of Jackson to speak up. Call and email Reina at [email protected] and or email Nixon at councilmannixon@jacksontwpnj.net. Let them know how you don’t like being robbed.

Jackson deserves better. Jackson deserves politicians who are honest and keep their words. Jackson residents do not want a bankrupted town filled with litigation, investigations, subpoena and expensive attorneys.

Q: When will Mr. Reina stop talking about bringing people together and actually do so?

A: Only when the citizens of his town speak up.

As a last Lakewood resident and current Jackson resident. I applause Jackson for standing up and attempting to protect the precious land in Jackson. People move to Jackson for land trees and no traffic. Let’s keep it that way!!!

That’s ok and I feel the same way. I’m a Jackson resident and I also would like to preserve the land and limit overbuilding. BUT that’s not what this is all about.

This has nothing to do with the evil DEVELOPMENT word rather with Nixon and Reina hating Jews

Just wondering…Did Reina and Hamilton have any sort of friendship before he hired her? Maybe this is also a way to get big bucks to a friend…
