Not sure how many people have heard of this and i'm just throwing it out there as food for thought and wondering what the thinking was.
Every year the Township gives the Poricy Park Conservatory (overseers of Poricy Park) an allotment of dollars towards its annual budget. This money goes to support the Poricy Park Conservatory's operating expenses. This year's $25,000 allotment instead was placed by the Township in the Capital Improvements budget, not the operations budget. This caused a deficit in PPC's FY 2014 budget since they were not told about it until last moment.So, let's think about this a minute and speculate a little.
Why would the township suddenly place money that is earmarked yearly for operating expenses into the capital improvements budget? One, it saves the town $25K in current cash. Two, assuming that "capital improvements" equates to debt issue, it allows an additional $25K to be raised in debt and moved outside of the 2% cap.
"Capital Improvements" may not mean debt issue, though. it could mean the delegation of town staff to do work at Poricy Park. Or it could mean that the township pays contractors of its own choosing in lieu of letting PPC decide. This puts control of the spending in township hands.
Meanwhile the Middletown Arts Center keeps getting more money.....

You mean the library in Middletown that Susan O'Neal had to resign from after her emails to democratic candidate for town council Linda Baum were subpoenaed. Thanks for reminding us about this before the election Mike.
Assuming this means additional debt will be raised – and a move to the capital budget probably means that – the effect is to defer expenses to the future.
anon 11:48,
Turn around is fair play. Shall we itemize the transgressions of all your buddies on the TC,especially Scharfenberger and his ILLEGAL conduct at Monmouth University during the past election cycles endangering the university tax exempt status !!
As far as the library is concerned , who Susan O'Neil talks to and about what on her own time is nobody's business but her own! This is still a country that recognizes free speech.
Susan contributed GREATLY to the success of the Middletown Library along with Randy Gabrielian and his fellow board members.
WHAT HAS THIS BUNCH WE NOW HAVE DONE TO ENHANCE IT? NOTHING !! They are spending their time in collusion with the TC conniving how else to rape it of funds !!!
Longtime Resident -
That's pretty funny sh*t right there...
Delusional, paranoid and self serving, but still pretty funny!
I heard that the TC and he Library Board are colluding to sell the Library's books to ISIS...
What will they think of NEXT?
Lol
Yeah I recall Fiore swore confidential stuff was shared but it turned out to be nothing but public info that people can talk about anywhere they want. But Fiore never corrected himself. Maybe what we should be discussing is his willingness to lie, a stellar quality in a public official.

What the matter,you can't stand the truth/ Just read the Asbury Park Press Editorial "Tongue Tied For a Reason " and also the reports about Scharfey's transgressions at the University. The false accusations against Gabriellan and the former board and Susan by these integrity challenged Repubs....
None of that is funny nor is the damage done to our Library by the self serving Republican politicians in Middletown ! This gang will do anything for a buck...
Not delusional by any stretch of the imagination, FACT THAT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE!!
If there's any SH#*T slinging it's your pals and you slinging it !!! Could not tell the truth if your life depended on it !!

You mean the Library that was named Best in Monmouth County for the last two years and has the highest circulation in the STATE?
Judge Lawson pretty much cleared up that pesky email issue. Never was appealed, go figure!
Good one here Mike! Still LMAO
