Public Notice of Contract Award, Chesterfield Township Committee, Jan. 17, 2010.  "Competitive" contract for legal services awarded to pay-to-play firm Parker McCay, the same vendor that received no-bid contracts in past years.

Public Notice of Contract Award, Chesterfield Township Committee, Jan. 17, 2010.  "Competitive" contract for engineering services awarded to pay-to-play firm Environmental Resolutions, Inc., the same vendor that received no-bid contracts in past years.

Public Notice of Contract Award, Chesterfield Township Committee, Jan. 17, 2010.  "Competitive" contract for auditing services awarded to John Maley, CPA, the same vendor who received no-bid contracts in past years.

Letter to Editor, Burlington County Times, Jan. 8, 2010.  Members of Chesterfield Township Committee dubiously distinguish themselves by holding annual reorganization on Monday at 10 a.m., drawing "the blinds on public participation."

"Pem. Borough swears in new mayor as towns reorganize," Burlington County Times, Jan. 5, 2010.  Township Committeeman Brian Kelly (who was re-elected to the Township Committee without opposition in 2007) appointed Mayor of Chesterfield without election in 2010.  With doormat Democrats like this guy (and crumb-bun Republicans like the other two), who needs democracy?  P.S. "All professional appointments remained the same."  What a shock (i.e., crock): professional service contracts awarded through "competitive bidding" to the same seven vendors who previously received no-bid contracts.

Public Notice to Persons Desiring Absentee Ballots, Chesterfield Fire District #2, Jan. 7, 2010.  Why does FD2 publish this bogus legal notice every year?  Are they trying to dissuade voters from voting?  According to State law, you do not need a "reason" to vote by absentee ballot.  That's your "right."

Public Notice of Hearing re: Affordable Housing Petition, Chesterfield Township Committee, Dec. 28, 2009.  TC petitioning the court to reduce Chesterfield's affordable housing obligations.  Taxpayer-subsidized housing is bad...but taxpayer-subsidized farmland (firesales, $mart Growth, and property-tax exemptions), that's good.  Huh, Larry?

Meeting Minute Highlights

Township Committee, Nov. 12, 2009Township Solicitor John Gillespie says it's a "waste of taxpayer dollars" for Fire District #1 to provide an EMS Engine at an emergency scene in Chesterfield.  You know what's a real waste?  Paying Mr. Gillespie's law firm Parker McCay (ranked fifth among "pay to play" businesses in New Jersey) taxpayer dollars to defend the conflicts of interest and self-dealing of township officials.  

Planning Board, Oct. 14, 2009.  Members of Planning Board make critical decisions about proposed townhome designs: "Remove dentil moulding on gable roof." "Add shutters to porch windows." "Eliminate railing on top of portico."  Mayor Kelly thinks roof line looks odd on Richmond model; developer has to resubmit design.  Question: why don't these dilettantes do something meaningful to police the developers, like adopting a Code of Ethics to prohibit shady Planning Board practices?


Board of Education, Nov. 18, 2009School Board awards competitive contract to lowest bidding appraiser, disclosing the proposed cost ($5,500), comparing it other bidders (whose costs are as high as $16,800).  So why didn't they disclose the same information when awarding the competitive contract for negotiations consulting?  What's the likelihood this second contract was awarded to the lowest bidder?


Misc.

♦Why is it that local officials on the Township Committee, Planning Board and School Board are on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter...yet they decline to post their e-mail addresses so people can contact them with their concerns?  Public office is not just a networking opportunity.  If you agree, let 'em know: send them an e-mail, attend their monthly meetings or join their private social network.  Update: Township Committee members have finally posted their e-mail addresses (bkelly@chesterfieldtwp.com, ldurr@chesterfieldtwp.com, mhlubik@chesterfieldtwp.com).
