Monday Night: Scharfenberger Is Tongue Tied

As promised, this is the last video clip from the November 15th, 2010 Middletown Township Committee meeting. Resident Paul Jansen read into the record, the Asbury Park Press editorial "Tongue tied for a reason" which lambasted Middletown"s mayor, Gerry Scharfenberger for not disclosing his new job as Director for the Office of Planning Advocacy until after the November 2, 2010 election.

Again, throughout Jansen's address, just like the others, Scharfenberger's body language tells a story. He is clearly agitated with the proceeding during the night, which he should have been and keeps his head down seemingly writing (doodling) on some type of paper until Mr. Jansen is finished.

I only point this out because this type of body language displayed by Scharfenberger is at many meetings where residents have a difference of opinion from him. When he has had enough, he interrupts to interject the 5 minute rule (times up,sit down) as seen in other videos, or he tries his other method at silencing those at the podium, offer to speak with them after the meeting, which seldom happens due to the late hour in which the meetings generally finish, often after 11pm.

Scharfenberger is nothing but a two bit liar and should resign. His record alone was enough to vote him out, but the ignorant and uniformed voted him in. Has anyone looked into voter fraud? It's just unbelievable that he got re elected. Don't know anyone who likes him and they're mostly Republicans.
