Fargo nomination held

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo (D-Sanzari) has cancelled another vote on the nomination of his friend, quadruple dipper Nicholas Fargo, to the Hudson County Board of Taxation. Fargo didn't get enough votes to have his nomination released when the panel met on November 23, causing the Senator from Sanzari to lose control, declaring: "That's bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit." Sarlo will ask the committee to again consider Fargo, who is the Chief Financial Officer of the town where the double-dipping Sarlo is Mayor.

Fargo is now the Business Administrator of the Hudson County Schools of Technology, the CFO of Wood-Ridge, the Woodridge schools treasurer, and a member of the Hudson County Board of Taxation. It appears that he has four government jobs and participates in two pension systems.

Check His Time Cards

Could someone file FOIA requests for Mr. Fargo's time cards and pay stubs. There's no way all of his employers are getting their moneys-worth from this crook.

Stimulus Pigs Sanzari and Sarlo

I was driving on Route 80 yesterday when I ran into a detour at 1PM because they are redoing the Exit onto 20 and 21. This exit does NOT need redoing. I saw at least 20 to 25 Sanzari trucks moving around doing little and the usual with construction workers hanging around. All of this caused a traffic nightmare and elevated safety risk! Sanzari is one of the biggest swines going and his shill Sarlo doesnt fall for from the trough of government slop. That Route 17/4 merge that moron built also blows.

Small Jobs, small towns

Sarlo said the two jobs are small, and that is why he can take a few other jobs (those two "small" jobs pay a combined $130K a year).

Why aren't these folks at least a little bit embarrassed when they are called into the light? I suppose it is because there is little we can or will do about it.
