Not Surprisingly

Freeholder Scanlon claims that Union County will "rehabilitate" Oakwood Park.

Frankly it does not need rehabilitation. "New Providence has the land; the trust fund has the money," she adds.

The borough had already designed the park before it went to the county for the grant? The county says it was "disappointed" about that. Obviously, this has been in the works already.

After the meeting started 15 minutes late there were 45 minutes of laudatory speeches by the mayor and freeholders. Before any public comment, they announced that the discussion of the Oakwood Park resolution was done and have now opened the floor to the public.

First speaker, Tom Getzendanner of Summit, here to praise the county's cooperation with Glenside Park, and apparently using the opportunity to ask the freeholders not to take a pension holiday.

Next speaker I am not familiar with, asking a question about the Rutgers Cooperative Extension. What, did they convince people to come here and filibuster?

I'm sure they announced that they were opening up the floor for comments about the agenda items, didn't they?

Are we having fun yet?
