August 19, 2010 Thoughts

Cory Storch it is five years too late to be asking me to ‘cease and desist’ from my actions, after you have spent five years with the New Democrats embarrassing me and my family with lies. Your family set up a real estate business here in the City, and has gained tremendously from those real estate sales. In my opinion, this is a conflict of interest.

You have now set up this non-profit organization, of which you are a founder of, and I wonder how much you make a year from the organization, how much goes to the patients, and how much goes to the program itself.

There have been times when other health agencies were denied funding so that Bridgeway could receive such funding, and I am sure your political influence had something to do with this. I live in the 2nd ward and I have no intentions of moving, so as long as you continue to do a horrible job governing, and use operatives such as Dan Damon and Bernice Paglia to disrespect others, I have no intention of stopping.

As an elected official, you are no different from me. People can voice their opinions whether they like you or not. The biggest mistake I made was supporting you in the last 2nd ward council race. You are the same person that Rashid Burney and his family believed in, worked with and trusted for the past four years. Yet, when Rashid was up for re-election this year, you threw him under the bus. How can you be trusted?

On election night when I saw the hurt in Rashid’s eyes upon his loss, stemming from your disloyalty, you have some nerve telling me I should be quiet, like you are some saint. I do not believe anything I have said or done has crossed the line. When it came time to give a developer downtown a rebate, you were first in line to support it. When it came time to build a low-income housing facility, again, you were first in line to support it, so long as it was not next door to you.

I have been asking the same questions for the last three years with no answers from you; what have you done as a council member to move the City in the right direction? When the BOE and Council had an opportunity to sit down and come up with a plan that could have helped the City and BOE, you decided to sit on the sidelines because you feared it would interfere with some of your friends’ job security.

The blogs you write regarding Bridgeway are like reading a comic book; it does not mention ANYTHING that you have done as an elected official. So then, if there is anyone that needs to ‘cease and desist’ in twisting the truth it is you, NOT Bridgeway, nor your wife, but you, Cory Storch.

Cory, it is time you stand up like a man and tell the public what you have done for this City, which moves or moved it in the right direction, as opposed to citing the greatness of Bridgeway.

The attack approach you use, accusing people of attacking you, is the same approach Republicans use (no coincidence). When you attack me however, you should expect a response. When I look at how our school buildings have been upgraded in our City, and I look at our office building, and the City receiving over the past 10 years over $1 billion from the State to education our children, when I look at the Nursing School where over 500 students graduate a year, when I look at the 2 train stops that have been upgraded, when I read about the Federal, State, and County governments working together to fight crime in Plainfield, knowing I have been a part of making this happen; and then when you, Bernice and Dan print something negative, it is like a big joke because your blogs and articles have brought more harm to Plainfield than anyone else’s.

I can understand why Dan is bitter, when the last administration lost, he lost his job that paid over $50,000/yr, his partner was let go from the PMUA, but I have yet to figure out why Bernice has allowed the little bit of respect from her Courier News days to be flushed down the toilet by you. I have no respect, at all, for her writing. Therefore, nothing she writes surprises me.

As a man, I cannot believe how you have used this woman. And because of the way you used her, I have lost respect for you.

Ps

I read a blog today from one of Cory Storch’s number one cheerleaders. I guess the reason why he has come out to support Cory is because no one has been negative about Bridgeway or the services they render. For example, no one criticized the United States when their friend, former President George Bush, was flushing the country down the drain. So no matter how they try to twist this issue, Cory has personally hurt a family and has done nothing for the City of Plainfield.

I am hoping this councilperson, along with the other council members, stop throwing mud at the current administration, and discuss the budget, school issues (loss of $8 million in funding). So far, all I have seen is them come to City Hall once a week to pick up their paychecks.

So now that they have shown this great love for Cory Storch, maybe they can now begin to show some love for the City of Plainfield.

In my 30 years of politics here in the City of Plainfield, I have never seen a Council like this one spending more time being negative, rather than moving the City in the right direction. Back in the first of the year, Cory said by March, this Council would be moving the City in the right direction. To the contrary, I have only seen fighting and bickering over issues that have resulted in embarrassing the City.
