  1. we will vote strongly against all incumbents so best of luck to you. it is high time we move out of the past and into the future.

  2. I would imagine that answers to the aforementioned questions will shed light on Mr. Ackerman’s abilities to successfully represent the best interests of all of Lakewood.

  3. Mr. Akerman –
    Lot’s of success on your new venture.

    Please stop using generic terms like “Da’as Torah.” It’s pointless.

    If you’d like to invoke a torah based source of guidance, please use NAMES, and let the people decide if they’re with you or not.

  4. This guy is a wonderful person. After what BS did to us with the taxes this, I connot imagine anybody voting for him again. I’m iy”h voting for Ackerman & I will encourage all my friends & family to vote for him, too. Go Isaac Go !!

  5. 10-1 says this goes down like it did with Langert. The Vaad will endorse Singer as the incumbant and Ackerman will agree with their endorement. Singer will see the handwriting on the wall and not run next time, allowing Ackerman to step up and easily win the seat.

    Of course, we all see how well that turned out with Langert…

  6. I’m fully for the idea of a candidate opposing BS but could we please get some specifics of AA’s campaign issues. Is he truly against wasteful spending and cutting taxes?
    Anyone with any info please comment.

  7. ISSAC….wow! Kol Hakovod. Having learnt with Issac in the past, i can attest that he has sacrificed l’man hatorah. If I’m not mistaken he is a musmach of yeshiva..at least he took a number of fahers in yoreh dayeh. Other than that he is fiscally responsible and held positions on the planning or zoning board in the past. In his own personal business he has also showed a tremendous achraious for yenems gelt. I just hope Kavod Shamayim comes out of this… Hatzlocha!

  8. I can’t believe the questions ppl r asking here ! U wanna know a plan ? Even no plan is better than BS ! Can’t u see that ?!!!

  9. For one I know he’s for open bidding on Township contracts. This should be a no-brainer but it’s seldom done. This can have a significant effect on expenses.

    For example: look what the new Board of Ed Guys did to Catapult. Because Lakewood voted for those three members it turned the tide and allowed for open bidding. It forced Catapult to lower their prices significantly, and it brought in some new companies at lower prices. Millions saved just like that.

    This idea was repeatedly blocked by the old guard.

  10. He is very anti wasteful spending. I spoke to him a few times over the years and he refuses to bash anybody when I speak to him but he has been against quite a few issues in this town. He’s been very bothered for a while by what’s been going on.

  11. i hope this canidate visits and learns about the emergency services of this town and how the current committee has done its best to destroy what is so important to all of the residents. Police and all EMS in this town provide invalauable service and both of these groups have suffered. know the facts so you can support all of us in town, i am a senior and proud to say i supported EMS. Make the change by knowledge not just doing what BS is telling people to do.

  12. He’s against higher taxes and wasteful spending. He’s in favor of increased services and city beautification. He’s strongly opposed to torture and wanton killing. He’s a big supporter of cotton candy and puppies.

  13. why do you have to be told by the vaad, think this guy is for one people and not all. wish all you people would think for yourself, read a paper, puy on the news , stop living in the passed

  14. He is a caring person who is easy to get along with. The committeemen and others will hate him for doing this but will thank him if he wins.
    Shtillerheit he is a leader and a great influence on people. There will be no games and extra spending with him around.

  15. i agree one should think for himself, but listen to news read papers ? there also all bias. so yes lets hear the vaad out then decide for ourself’s

  16. I’m not voting for any of the incumbents due to the unfairness of my tax bill(Westgate house values didn’t go up so much more in relation to the other neighborhoods in Lakewood as the tax bills make it seem)but still I can’t vote for anyone who doesn’t give over a clear plan and vision of what he intends on doing.

    I do vote and vouch for Akerman being a great guy on a personal level.I’ve known him for many years

  17. I met him last night. He is definitely intelligent and has great ideas. I told him that the public wants to hear his plan and ideas and said he will address the public shortly.

  18. He has a very strong platform based on open bidding, pro-active money management, fiscal responsibility, government disclosure, peaceful co-existence and getting rid of corruption.

  19. Your going to run Lake-town tonight!!!! Your Das torah backing is rock solid and irreproachable. Your conceding to the desires of the afore mentioned Das Torah, of being kept anonymous, is highly commendable. Love the way you dont lie.
