Camden County and Gloucester County The Truth

Gloucester City Fails to Follow Chapter 84 of the City Code - TOWING

You might ask why they fail to follow the code, well it could be that Councilman Hutchinson claims to live with the owner of the only city authorized tow company???  Mr Hutchinson uses this address to keep his place on council??  So you see why would the city follow the code for towing, the owner of the towing company is doing them a favor so the keep him in business???

If you read the City's towing code you will see that they clearly refuse to follow the city's own LAWS. I requested all documents that must be filed under this code and only received an application applying for the tow licence, no inspections and no other documents,

Read code:

C106Chapter84Towing -  

No licence issued just this application. The city clerk  left the ss number so I redacted best I could 

I also asked for the last few years of these documents and again this is all they had to send.

 

Camden County Freeholders bringing in former N.Y. police director to help create countywide police force

The Camden County Freeholder Board is expected to hire a New York Police Department veteran to help build a county-wide police force.

The board will meet Thursday night, where the freeholders are planning to vote on a one-year contract for the Cordero Group, which will bring Jose Cordero, the former New York City Police Department Inspector, in to build the Camden County Metro Division.

Over his tenure as a law enforcement official, Cordero has gone from patrolman to the top law enforcement official in New Jersey, officials from Camden County said.

“The time has come to start the process of forming this department,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “The details of the structure and the organization of the assets must be set and it is time to bring in a renowned law enforcement officer to facilitate and implement the construction of the Metro Division of the Camden County Police Department.”

John Timoney, former Chief of Police of Philadelphia, Miami and currently a security consultant in Bahrain, recommended Cordero to the freeholders during his time in Camden County last year.

Timoney served as a consultant for the county last August to help outline a countywide police force.

“Mr. Cordero is an experienced and seasoned law enforcement official who will bring a high degree of leadership and professionalism to the Camden Metro Division,” said Camden Mayor Dana Redd . “His understanding of the many complex issues and needs of an urban environment makes him a great fit for the position. I welcome Mr. Cordero and look forward to working with him to help keep Camden’s families safe.”

Scott Thompson, Camden City Police Chief, worked with Cordero in 2008, when he served as State Director of Law Enforcement.

“Jose Cordero is a mission driven, task oriented individual who has vast experience in urban policing and a familiarity with the extraordinary challenges of Camden,” Thompson said.

Cordero retired from the New York Police Department in 2001 after 21 years with the department and rising to the rank of Police Inspector, overseeing eight precincts and more than 2,000 sworn officers.

In 2004, he was appointed Police Director in East Orange, where — officials said — he held bring the crime rate down by 71 percent in four years.

In 2008, the governor and attorney general appointed Cordero the State Director of Law Enforcement. Then in 2010, he formed the Cordero Group to offer his expertise to police and security forces seeking to improve cost efficiencies, reduce crime and increase productivity.

 

Camden County Freeholder Meeting 6/21/11

Did Runnemede Prosecutor and Norcrat Supporter Robert Del Sordo Violate Federal and/or State Laws?

Gloucester City and Camden County The Truth has obtained the below letter sent by Runnemede Prosecutor Robert A. Del Sordo to his tenants telling them who to vote for and if they do not vote a certain way there rents will go up.  In it he cites that incumbent Norcrats Anthony Beatrice and Mike Kisielewski are committed to keeping property tax assessments at a minimum and implies if they do not win his tenants rents will go up. 

 

As a lawyer, Mr. Del Sordo should be aware that councilmembers have NO control over property tax assessments and raises the question why would he send this letter and in doing so did he violate any Federal or State Housing Laws?   Mr. Del Sordo owns multiple rental properties in Runnemede.  In addition to that he also serves as the Prosecutor in Runnemede and is the immediate past solicitor of the Runnemede Planning/Zoning Board, where he was replaced by David “Flip-Flopper” Carlamere, who now holds eleven public jobs.  In addition to being employed by the Borough of Runnemede Mr. Del Sorodo also works at Camden County College.

 

It is also worth asking to what measurers will the Norcrats go to stay in power that they have to revert to threats and scare tactics? 

 

 

Gloucester Township Solicitor David “Flip-Flopper” Carlamere Opposed Pay to Play Before Supporting It???

For almost a year now citizens in Gloucester Township have  been figting a noble fight to end Pay to Play in the Norcrat controlled Township.  The effort began by a local watchdog group South Jersey Citizens and has gained support from many in Gloucester Township and surrounding communities including then Councilwoman Crystal Evans, a Democrat. 

The SJC and other circulated petitions and came up with enough signatures to force the issue but Norcrat controlled town has opposed the move, which recently resulted in a lawsuit which will be heard on June 8^th in Camden.  http://gloucestertownship.patch.com/articles/pay-to-play-petition-committee-sues-township-clerk

 

Leading the fight to keep Pay to Play alive and well is Township Solicitor David Carlamere.  Mr. Carlamere holds the following jobs:

1. Gloucester Township Solicitor
2. Gloucester Township Fire District #1 Solicitor
3. Gloucester Township Fire District #2 Solicitor
4. Gloucester Township Fire District #4 Solicitor
5. Gloucester Township Fire District #5 Solicitor
6. Gloucester Township Fire District #6 Solicitor
7. Pine Hill Fire District Solicitor
8. Pine Hill Planning/Zoning Board Solicitor
9. Berlin Township Planning/Zoning Board Solicitor
10.  Somerdale Planning/Zoning Board Solicitor
11. Runnemede Planning/Zoning Board Solicitor

Now to the interesting part.  Mr. Carlamere has dedicated this past year to keeping Pay to Play alive and well in Camden County but Gloucester City and Camden County The Truth recently learned that at onetime FREELOADER Dave Carlamere…that’s right he’s a former Freeloader supported an end to Pay to Play.  The question to Mr. Carlamere: Why are you Flip Flopping?

Support For Solicitation Ban Reaffirmed

November 06, 1987|By Thomas Turcol, Inquirer Staff Writer

 

Camden County Freeholder-elect David F. Carlamere reaffirmed yesterday that he would support a proposal that would prohibit county officials and employees

from soliciting county vendors for political funds.

With the three Republicans on the seven-member freeholder board already supporting the ban, sought by the county Ethics Commission, Carlamere's vote would provide the majority necessary to have it included in the proposed new county ethics code.

During a meeting yesterday, Ethics Commission members, who have likened the solicitation of county vendors to a form of extortion, reiterated their intention to push for an end to the practice.

The commission will submit a new county ethics code to the Board of Freeholders for its approval in January.

"The whole thing creates an inference of intimidation, the appearance of conflict," said Carlamere, a Gloucester Township councilman and one of two Democrats who won freeholder seats in Tuesday's election.

Carlamere said he did not believe there had been any evidence that county employees had threatened vendors. He also stopped short of saying that it was wrong for county employees to solicit county vendors, unless those employees intimidated the businessmen.

He said, however, that the practice of employees seeking political money

from companies doing business with the county "tarnishes the image of the county government. If you're going to raise campaign money, it should come

from the party organization itself."

Before Tuesday's election, it appeared unlikely that the Democratic- controlled freeholder board would support the prohibition on fund-raising by county employees. The proposed ban was opposed by the county Democratic Party organization, which has depended on the fund-raising network of county employees and vendors to help remain in control of the county government since 1972.

But as public pressure for an end to the practice mounted during the course of the just-completed campaign, Carlamere and his running mate, incumbent Freeholder Joseph F. Carroll, broke with their party's hierarchy and came out in favor of the prohibition.

The Republican freeholder candidates, who were locked in a close race with Carroll and Carlamere, intensified the pressure by making the fund-raising controversy an issue in the campaign.

Carroll could not be reached for comment yesterday.

The process, directed by Democratic Party officials, includes most of the county department heads, division supervisors, aides and other employees. Typically, each department head or his surrogate is responsible for soliciting campaign donations from the companies doing business with that department.

Several lower-level county employees also are assigned either to solicit the vendors or to collect the money from the vendors and deliver it to their supervisors.

Rabbi Harry B. Kellman, chairman of the county's recently revived Ethics

Commission, has been the driving force behind the drive to include a prohibition against the practice in the new ethics code. Rabbi Kellman said yesterday that he was confident the freeholder board would support the proposal.

Rabbi Kellman, of Cherry Hill, said the "climate was right" to push for the fund-raising ban. He said he believes that the freeholders and county residents "have reached the point where they don't think it's the right way" for a political party to raise campaign funds.

The commission also decided yesterday to choose one of three lawyers to

serve as its special attorney in drafting a final ethics code. The commission launched a search for an independent lawyer after deciding that the county legal staff was not in a position to give the most objective advice.

Rabbi Kellman said it would be inappropriate to name the three lawyers being considered for the position. He said they were all county residents and had no political allegiances.

Among other things, the lawyer will recommend to the commission whether it can extend its proposed revolving-door rule to cover county row offices and quasi-independent county agencies and commissions.

The revolving-door provision would prohibit the county from rehiring or awarding a contract to a former county official or employee for at least two years after the employee has left the county government. The commission has decided to permit exceptions to the rule for former employees with "special skills or expertise."

Rabbi Kellman said yesterday that the commission would undertake a ''stringent investigation" to determine the need to rehire or award contracts to any former employees that the freeholders seek to rehire.

"We don't want anybody taking advantage of the revolving-door situation," Rabbi Kellman said.

The commission would make non-binding recommendations to the freeholder board in those cases.

 

 

 

Taxpayers can save tens of millions by cutting out political middle men

Gloucester Mayor and Council should look into state health care benefits if that would save the Taxpayers of Gloucester City.

I will Fight for this if I am elected.

Lou Cappelli Now In the Business of Controlling BOE’s, When Does It Stop?

It seems like good old Lou Cappelli and Jim Florio, both puppets of  Czar George are not happy with the amount of control they have over the people of Camden County whose lives they ruin every day.  They are now in the business of representing school boards.  That’s right, Cappelli’s law firm applied to become Gloucester City’s School District’s Solicitor but they did not get it.  It went to the law firm of Parker McKay, where King George’s brother works.   Czar George wants total control of everything, he wants it all and he wants it now.

 

 

 

 

And here is a small taste of what the Democrats like to do in formerly Regime controlled West Deptford.  

 

"Pine Hill Gone Wild" Loosing Career Political Hacks One OPRA At A Time

Over the last year numerous OPRA requests have been submitted to the small sleepy Borough of Pine Hill (home to a little over 10,000 people) by a few courageous Open Government Advocates.  Gloucester City & Camden County The Truth has posted only a portion of what has been uncovered.  These OPRA’s have exposed years and of corruption and back room shady deals including those made with Donald Trump.  Sadly, there is so much more.  However, the current elected officials seem to want change, possibly because they are afraid of what may come out about them or they truly want what is right. 

Readers of this site have asked what favor did Pine Hill owe to now Council President Ruth “Heavy Heart” McCullen?

Pine Hill Council President Ruth "Heavy Heart" McCullen.

Why Councilman Charles Warrington, Director of Public Safety is still carrying around a gold police badge?  

Councilman Charles Warrington (D-Pine Hill).  Warrington also serves as a paid member of the Board of Fire Commissioners for the Borough of Pine Hill.  

Why MUA solicitor David Patterson is also allowed to be the municipal solicitor? 

And why is a retired Police Officer who is on a disability pension working as a civilian police officer but has been seen doing police work? 

 

Retired Officer Maguire, Now known as AGENT Maguire. On a cold, rainy afternoon, one of our informants snapped this picture of Retired by injuries sustained on duty Officer Maguire, now known as "Agent Maguire". While this "Agent" is collecting a disability pension and lifetime health care from NJPFRS, he is working as an "Agent" at this accident scene, with a telephone pole snapped in half. Do you think this is legal? Could't this be some type of "Disability Fraud"?

 

These are some of the many questions.
