Special Library Board Meeting Scheduled for Sept. 11th


A special meeting of the Middletown Library Board of Trustees has been called for Wednesday night at 6pm in the Community Room of the main library located on New Monmouth Rd. As you can see from the note below issued by Board President Brock Siebert, someone's head may be about to roll!

This is purely speculation on my part, I have no information to confirm my suspicions however, I would think that the staff person in question just my be Library Director Susan O'Neal. Tony Fiore and his hand picked Board of Trustees have been gunning for her for a long time now and they just might be ready to make their move after last month's meeting which can be viewed ... HERE.

I hope i'm wrong and if I didn't have to go to work Wednesday night, I would be at the library to show my support for whoever this mysterious staff member may be. I hope that some of the readers here could show up in my place instead to show support.

The raiding of library funds and the systematic dismantling of the former library board and the defamation of certain members thereof and its Library Director, who only wished to protect the library's best interests and mission over the past 2 years, is a travesty. Middletown is better than this, unfortunately members of Middletown's Township Committee aren't.

If that is the case this band of phonies probably have a political crony who needs a job that they want to put at work at the library. Probably a friend of gov cc, as he gave scharffey his political plum job. Why they are so upset about the library director communicating with members of the public is a mystery. After all scharfey has campaigned twice promising transparency in government. Maybe scharfey should drive over to the library and lookup the definition of transparency.

scharfey is the one that fiore represents on the library board. fiore is the mayor's designee, just as murary was before him and settembrino was before her.this all started with settembrino threatening the library with handing it over tot he county if the library didn't fork over the reserves.
