"City Council appointment draws controversy in Beverly

By Jeannie O'Sullivan Staff writer | Posted: Thursday, December 27, 2012 9:19 pm
BEVERLY — A City Council member who lost his next term in the contested Democratic primary election in June will still be on dais in January.
Council President Luis Crespo was appointed Thursday night to fill the seat vacated by Brian Perkins, who has resigned with three years left on his term.
The motion to appoint Crespo was made by Councilwoman Barbara Kelly, seconded by Councilman Hal Robertson and blasted by Councilman Robert Thibault.
“Outrageous” is how Thibault described the action.
“The voters of this town have made it clear. They’re asking for a clean break from the past and move it forward. This is simply a maneuvering tactic that’s just unconscionable,” he said.
Frequently challenged during meetings by Thibault, Crespo has also been a target of criticism from meeting attendees who decry the city's financial difficulties and employee lawsuits.
Crespo didn't comment about his reappointment during the meeting and didn't immediately return a phone call afterward.
The legality of Crespo voting during the roll call came into question. City attorney Albert Marmero said after the meeting that state law mandates that elected officials recuse themselves from voting on matters that would net them a financial benefit.
“In this case, there is no salary so it’s a bit of a gray area,” Marmero said.
Crespo, Kelly and Robertson are finishing terms after losing the primary Lawrence Carlbon, Robert Bancroft and Robert Lowden, a slate of former public officials and volunteers who ran as "The Original Beverly Democrats."
Crespo had waged an unsuccessful write-in campaign during the general election in November.
To fill Perkins' seat, the city’s Democratic Committee had submitted the names of Crespo, Robertson, and former council member Scott Williams for consideration. Appointed council members sit until the next election, when they must be voted in to continue service.
Perkins' letter was not read aloud during the meeting.
Before the vote to appoint Crespo, Robertson said he respectfully withdrew his name from consideration. “I’ve had enough,” he said.
Williams, who was also at the meeting, offered well wishes to the new and outgoing members."


It appears that the letter of resignation from Brian Perkins was discussed in Executive Session at last nights Council meeting as well as the letter from the Beverly Democratic Committee that recommended three names to replace Perkins. This needs to be looked into because if this action was not listed on the meeting agenda or in the resolution for holding a closed executive meeting, then the council is in violation of the OPRA law. 
This action by council needs to be verified by any of the council members that were part of the executive session held last night so that the violation of the law can be dealt with. This illegal action may even cancel the unconscionable act taken by the outgoing council last night.
King Louie's actions during the past as a public official and in his personal life, has brought numerous lawsuits and embarrassments to the residents of Beverly City. This is why he lost in the Democratic Primary as well as in the 2012 General Election as an Independent Candidate for Council. The Beverly Voters sent a message loud and clear that they want the King off of Council!



Stay tuned for more and Happy New Year,

Beverly must pay $35,538 for overtime lawsuit

By Jeannie O'Sullivan Staff writer
 Sunday, December 30, 2012

BEVERLY — A Public Works Department employee has won a $35,538 judgment against the city in a lawsuit over overtime pay.
The City Council last week passed a resolution to pay $7,156 to Public Works Supervisor Daniel Schoen Sr. and $28,382 to his attorney, Thomas Barron of Moorestown. According to the payment schedule, Schoen was to have gotten his money by Monday. Barron was to receive $10,000 by Monday and the rest in monthly installments by March 31.
City Attorney Albert Marmero said that although Schoen, a current employee, is the department’s supervisor, much of his work is labor, which by law warrants overtime.
“There’s a federal law that requires overtime for all employees unless you’re an executive employee. Despite what your title is, if the bulk of your day is done doing labor, you’re considered a laborer. So he won the overtime he was claiming,” Marmero said.
The money took awhile in coming, according to Barron. When reached for comment, he said Superior Court Judge Susan Claypoole had heard the case in late July in Mount Holly.
"It was a struggle to get paid," he said.
Legal fees for the city's 2012 budget had risen by $100,000 since the previous year. At the time the $2.9 million budget was adopted in June, Council President Luis Crespo had said the Burlington County Joint Insurance Fund raised the city’s deductible as a penalty because the city’s previous fund commissioner failed to follow certain required directives.
In addition to retainer fees from attorneys and the overtime pay lawsuit, other legal costs included a $75,000 settlement for a former clerk-administrator who filed a harassment lawsuit against the municipality in January 2011, although it did not admit any liability in the case. City officials agreed to that settlement in April.

Crespo is a slippery snake, a serpent, reminiscent of the HYDRA in Greek Mythology, the multi headed serpent like creature that if you cut one of its heads off it would grow 5 more in its place, Hercules was the only one that could kill the Hydra, we have to call on Hercules to rid Beverly of this evil trickster....Hydra had poisonous breath and blood, so evil even its tracks were deadly[ That is Crespo personified ]....His presence in Beverly City Hall makes a mockery of this town

You must be pretty full of yourself to think ANYONE would want your sorry broke-a** back on Council! Crespo has bankrupted this town and all the residents and their children will end up paying for it for years.

If this doesn't beat all Council voted to forgive all penalties and interest if people who didn't pay their taxes would pay their taxes by the end of the year. The irony is four of the Council people who voted for forgiving the debt were on the tax sale list this year FOR NOT PAYING THEIR TAXES. A little self-serving don't you think??

This guy will stop at nothing to screw the people in Beverly and Edgewater Park. From a fake bomb he planted in his own truck, to sexual harassment, to borrowing over $2 million, watching everyone who comes into City Hall through the video cameras he installed, breaking into personnel files, pitting police officers against one another, causing many many lawsuits and using people in City Hall to harass people he doesn't like.

He is the lowest bottom-feeding piece of crap that ever slithered down the streets of Beverly but he's is followed closely by Gail Cook, Hal Robertson, Barbara Kelly and Scott Williams for all being part of this farce to force him up the backsides of the good people of Beverly. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

does lc have any couth at all??as a beverly resident for most of my life ive seen alot of bad things going on but never ever have i witnessed such a mockary as i did the other night at the council meeting,LC sure does want to stay on council for some reason and im willing to bet its because he has robbed the city blind and is afraid to get caught,everyone in this town knows that lc has been robbing city hall,and we also know that KG is also robbing the good people of this town too.weather he stays on council he wont be president,at most he ll be on decorating committee(that should be interesting look at his home)and he will argue everything that comes up,he s a little baby and has to have his way,but he could at least have some respect for his family how can his wife hold her head up and his children attend school with everyone knowing what a loser he is and what he has done to this town,the people of Beverly have spoken we do not want you! you should just walk away and let the new council try to clean the mess you made up!it is a shame and i feel sorry for those kids!!have some respect dude if you have any love and respect for your wife and kids just walk away...you are to us and will be to your family the biggest dirtball loser if you dont. your wife already knows were sure,but your kids are innocent in all this ,do you really want them hateing you one day when they are told what you did?you cant be that selfish???or can you???

Leave the kids out of it. It's bad enough they're stuck with this loser as their father.

If he does manage to stick this up everyone's butt, he has to run for election again this year. Just what Beverly needs, another election full of hate, lies, and that miserable S.O.B. coming to your house pandering for your vote.

I guess it wasn't enough to lose twice this past year but then again he's been a loser all his life.

LC is trying to stay in council he wants the taxpayers to continue to pay for his personal vendettas legal fees. LC continues to think that he is above the law, and continues to make a mockey of all of the residents of Beverly. Why does he get away from pay taxes ontime? And then vote on Tax amnesty, Again what a mockery. The people have spoken 2 times. LC was reported to trying to stand on the corner of Laurel & Third Sts to get write in votes with former Councilman P's brother. trying to scare the residents downtown into voting for him. I guess the joke was on LC. 50 votes, that,s prob is lowest amount of votes in City history

I wonder how long they, former council, had Councilman P's resignation secret. How can LC vote for himself? LC is scared because all of the illegal acts that he has done,and thinks he will be beyond the long arm of the Law. LC couldn't afford his own legal fees. LC check out NJ Title 14. You'll shit your pants. That peski other titles you'll be getting to know well.

See LC in the papers,the attention that he loves. LC is so arrognt but LC will eventually get what he has coming to him, for all that he does to others. The good thing about knowing he will not be in charge of council,LC will not be making all the decision for all the previous idots, the former council. LC be placed on the street light committe, spotted owls association, ETC. Hopefully LC be out of Beverly, hopefully wearing orange. One thing LC will learn is that LC is not above accountability, integrity, ethics. He doesnt run the show anymore.

Anyone wish to chip in on the next tax sale, buying LC out of town. I could come up with some cash.

luis dirtbag crespo may have stolen himself another year but inevitably the day will come when the worst display of a child in the costume of an adult will no longer be a part of our city government.
Shame on those people who say they stand for what's right for Beverly.
Shame on Gail Cook, Hal Robertson, Barbara Kelly and especially Brian Perkins for being the ignorant stooge of the Democratic Party. Brian, you sold out yourself and every one you pretended to represent as an elected member of City Council.
All voters be aware! Behind every election are the Democrat and Republican Committee's. Committee members are ELECTED. We change our town through the ballot box. Stay in touch and stay informed! Gail Cook-Democrat Municipal Chairperson and Luis Crespo need to be voted off of Committee and Council.

No one can stop the hands of time nor the wheels of justice.

....tick tock......tick tock.....

So, let me get this straight - Crespo had the nerve to report that the city's deductible for Joint Insur. Fund was raised due to the fault of someone else? Wasn't that $75,000 harrassment suit win because of him? WTH? And per today's headline story, the employee won $7,156 in back pay but his lawyer's fees were $28,382? Isn't that rediculous? WTH again? Maybe it's not just this town going to hell in a handbasket - there is something wrong in this country!

Feedup on Ashton said...

I understand the need to expose Crespo to Beverly City but how come no stories on Hal Robertson? Didn't he vote to exempt the late fee's on past due taxes and then pay his past due taxes without the late fees thus benefiting from his vote as a Councilman? Why is the press and County Prosecutor ignoring Hal's illegal votes a City Councilman?
No wonder Crespo and company continue to victimize the people of Beverly

Investigate this thoroughly, check out to make sure he closed off his doorways between each residence in violation of fire code which would have made the fire spread more rapidly and make it harder to contain...thank God nobody was hurt: owners or firefighters, just don't trust this guy, he is a bad actor, he has disregarded the safety of people when he pulled off the bomb hoax, even the prosecutor said he did it for reasons unknown but they didn't have enough evidence to put him away, maybe this will nail him, feel sorry for his wife and kids and neighbors[there is damage to Sgt Jims house with melted siding and probably smoke damage,,,,Don't let anything slip by Sgt Jim, If Gerber tries to protect him you know the channels to pursue...crespo is dangerous
