City Council President King Five Finger Louie and Beverly Police Chief Wannabe Car 54 JB, what are your answers to the questions being asked on this blog about you and your conduct?

The comments you sent today and shown above, are typical of your past comments to this blog.

We have listed several questions below that you still have not answered and are a reflection of your arrogance and abuse of your elected position.

Why is the Council President King Five Finger Louie allowed to have building permits open over two years after taking them out as a result of being ordered to apply for building permits by the courts for not doing so as required by City Ordinance?

Why is the City Council President King Five Finger Louie receiving a paycheck from the Beverly City Taxpayers when a property he co-owns is on the tax delinquency list?

How can City Council President King Five Finger Louie be appointed to the Police Committee when he was given probation for an assault charge in 1999 and why wasn't this disclosed to the public?

How is it not a conflict, when the Beverly City Council President King Five Finger Louie votes on a redevelopment agreement for a local developer, when he had worked for that developer and did not disclose this conflict when he was speaking to the Land Use Board about changing the agreement requirement for the projects street lighting and other changes that saved that developer money?

Why are the rest of the City Council Members, allowing the City Council President King Five Finger Louie, to chase away the good employees that worked for the City and always did the best they could for the residents of Beverly?

So again Council Prez King Five Finger Louie and Police Chief Wannabe Car 54 JB, what are your responses to these questions and others commented on about you in this blog?

Calling people stupid is not an answer, telling the truth is.

To the residents of Beverly City, this is an example of who is running the city. Small wonder that the city is in a deep decline and guess what, Council Prez, King Five Finger Louie along with the Mayor and City Council have changed the City type of government and have under the new form and fixed it so they will not have to run for election for four years. This was done with the passing of City Ordinance #2009-8. Gee Beverly residents, did you get to vote on that change?

The vultures have come home to roost Beverly!!!

To you Edgewater Park Residents who complain about the Beverly stories, just look closely around Edgewater Park. Does it look like Edgewater Park is improving in its quality of life? Well, Beverly City has a big influence on what happens in Edgewater Park to home values and quality of life issues.

Nightmare on Broad Street and the effected Electorate

Fw: The Green Cafe @ Whitebriar, now open 7-7 every day with healthy living programs from 7-9pm

The following are Carol Moore's messages emailed to The Reporter this week with a date of 5/8/09, 5/24/09 and 7/31/09. I guess Carol's computer is 6 to 8 months out of date.

Is that like a day late and a dollar short. Maybe the reason Carol would be a dollar short is because of the sewer bill she just paid.

We thought you would get a kick out of reading them because your gonna need all the humor you can get this year.

By the way, does Carol pay a commercial rate for the sewer bills on all of the Whitebriar Bed and Breakfast Inns she owns (3 in EP alone and only god knows how many in Beverly)?

Gee Chairman Dave, maybe you and the Sewer Authority wouldn't have to raise the sewer rates for us EP residents who are not politically connected, if your authority properly charged the Commercial Sewer Rate to all of your political friends who have commercial businesses like B&B, Apartments or Beauty Salons in residential homes.

Glad to see your looking out for us Chairman Dave!

Deapie,r Edgewater Park Reporter, I think you might have come in to our Organic Green Café the other day. You are "frumpy", "over weight", "slide your feet, instead of lifting them", "dress back in the 60's when we use to cover an over weight body with faded denim skirts that only come to above the knee. The reason I think it is you, is because when I tried to be "friendy" and ask if you were local...you said...."I came in to read my book not to be interogated"....well, it's a friendly town, here in Edgewater Park, and if you're local, we welcome you to sit before our twin fire places and drink your coffee, read your book or paper. If you are new to town, just drop off the name, address contact phone or e mail, so we can make up a "WELCOME BASKET", which will include some of the 400 brochures & business cards from locals, who wish to welcome you to the neighborhood. If you are "passing thru" we won't call you a stranger, you're "Gentle Visitor", and we welcome you to stop, sit, and relax in our 6 private dining rooms, with soft lights and lots of "collectibles" and "Estate pieces" which you can purchase as a very discounted price.

You see, Edgewater Park Reporter, we are an environmental, Organic facility, so to show the world that we didn't need to "gut this old bank building and fill our landfills with debri", we have used the entire bank just as Ethel Budden, Dave Parker, Bob Notigan, and Harry Van Sciver (God Rest his sole) left it....the teller windows are now (1) the Soup bar (2) Pastry bar (3) quiche bar (4) sandwich bar (5) coffee tea bar. Remember those offices where you signed the paper to take out a loan from the old Beverly Bank? Well, those offices are lovely quaint private dining rooms filled with antiques and collectibles that you can purchase. But don't take my word for it, stop in and get one of our "Green" post cards with the Menu on the back.

We are Organic (no chemicals on the ground where animals are raised, no hormones/toxins in the feed they are fed,) and other "healthy" foods grown locally, and provided from South Jersey Organic Farmers. We serve only 3 sandwiches (1) Roast Pork Loin (2)roast Eye Beef (3) Roast Breast of Chicken, and we serve it with an Organic healthy slice of tomato & lettuce, but if you want to "doctor it up" we have a variety of barbque sauces to add. Today we have home made rice pudding with whipped cream, pumpkin pie, blackberry , poppy seed biscuits, spiced cup cakes, applesauce raisin/walnut, and chocolate chocolate cake. Our soups are always chili, and beef barley, but today I've made a terrific "Steak and Potatoes Soup" which will be ready tomorrow.

Our Coffee is Organic, and I heard some one at the "Blog" wasn't educated in just what was and was not Organic...It's a "seal" given by the federal government, and we have Organic coffee. Also we have about 30 Herbal Teas and fancy earl gray black teas, english breakfast, camomile, mine, and chai. Doesn't matter if you have a "cup" or ask for one of our "antique Tea Pots", the price is still $2.00.

So dear, Edgewater Park Reporter, if you were that "frumpy" old 60's person who came in, I'm sorry I disturbed your reading, but we in Edgewater Park are noted for friendly conversation. Come again, in a 1980's outfit and I won't recognize you.

Carole Moore, Owner, Green Café 1101 Cooper Street Edgewater park, N.J. 08010

The following is the second message and much like the letter published in the BCT.

Subject: Closing of Beverly National Cemetery and Wasteful spending

Today, I had 2 women who went jogging in the Beverly National Cemtery, as most of us have done in the past. They were approached by an employee who handed them a "brochure" stating that no one is allowed to job, run, exercise in the cemetery, and that there are federal charges of $500 for each offense. A day later an elderly couple came into the Café, and reported the same thing happened to them, as they were walking to exercise after a heart surgery. Both groups were very upset, so I e mailed Bev. National Cemetery Director, Mr. White, and as a result of my e mail he came to my "Green Café" with his "Handy" veteran employee.

After several words these facts came to pass. The Beverly Bee's Owner, Bev Haaf had already interview Mr. White, who said they are moving the head quarters to a gigantic new building at Washington's Crossing and that the Beverly office will be closed, it's employees replaced with "veteran own contractors" who don't have to hire veterans, or American Citizens to cut the grass and trim around the tomb stones. Other than "Veteran Contractors" who will visit the site for cutting, Mr. White said " his staff will have a presence at the Cemetery".

Now, It seems to me that just having spent several million dollars (with more to come) to dig up the grass, spray poison to kill the old grass, and they put sod on the cemetery, that it would have been worth keeping the cemetery open. Seems to me that the other million that was spent to "lift every tomb stone" and "re set it", almost as straight as it use to be, was indeed a waste of good money that could have been spent on giving better living conditions to our "alive" veterans and their families.

So we have it, now that the "stimulus" money was "blown" on the poison/sod/lifting, now we can't afford to keep a staff at this building. There was not enough staff to put a "flag on each grave", but we learned to appreciate that idea when Director Delores Blake, used the funding to put "teak benches" in the cemetery, so elderly, could sit and ponder. It seems the money is gone to buy new poles for the "Avenue of the Flags" that we put up in 1970's -- my grand fathers, uncles and fathers flags....gone for ever....Only a few were up this year and the cemetery looked vacant.

Mrs. Haaf interview Mr. White and suggested he do a "letter to the Editor" but as of yet, I have seen nothing that will indicate the National Cemetery System's "view point" on keeping Tax Paying residents from walking, and exercising in the cemetery, but allowing "non americans" in to cut the grass and trim, and waste money on sod and have nothing left to keep open the building. Please feel free to call the Beverly National Cemetery and find out for yourself how we are being "Abandoned" by the Veterans Administration for their "cushy, new, expanded Head quarters" just a few miles north.

Subject: Beverly Up in smoke?

Dear Edgewater Park Reporter,

I was reading my morning paper and noticed inside an article about medical marijuana bill, a story about the Assembly passing a change to Beverly's Charter. Perhaps it was an oversight or perhaps the reporter knows our former local medicinal provider.

The passing of the two bills could be renamed the "Lou Crespo Special" being the medical marijuana bill AND the radical changes to Beverly were approved. I have to wonder if the Assembly members took a smoke break and were in such a haze that the Beverly issue didn't even matter.

Mayor Cook wants to reduce elections in Beverly. Hello? it's called accountability. So if Beverly is going down the drain we have to wait four or five years before we can voice our opinions at the polls. We all have seen that public comments don't sway the members, they do as they please. But what if they Really got out of hand? Oh well, wait until 2015....

Also the article states transitional terms may be "one, four, and five years"? Really, why doesn't Crespo just ask for 10 to 20? I am sure he is used to hearing those terms.

I think I'll go have a democrat brownie now and forget all the troubles of the world...

Another overburdened Beverly Taxpayer

Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you for your support and comments during the past year. We hope that the new year will bring you peace and happiness and may God bless our troops!

Edgewater Park, Did You Get Your New Sewer Bill?

The new Edgewater Park Sewer Tax just jumped from $60 dollars at quarter to $81.25 a quarter. That's a whopping 35.4% increase.

Just one year ago the sewer tax was $50 dollars a quarter so the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority has raised your sewer tax by 62.5%.

Wow, what a great job you have done running the Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority, Chairman Dave Levay, Co-Chairman James Hall, James Daly, Lester Holley and Geraldine Wing. You have done such a fantastic job increasing our sewer tax by 62.5% in the short time you have been in control of the EPSA.

I guess you lied Chairman Levay! The following is what was reported last year in this blog on Monday, July 14, 2008 (link to story).

Chairman Dave goes to great lengths to explain how all of the additional expenses for moving, new employees, additional hours for payroll, additional cost for the employee benefits, additional utility cost, additional rent, additional legal cost and potential new equipment, are not going to affect the current sewerage rates.

Chairman Dave is right on this point, because what he didn't tell you is that the rates have been set for this year (2008), and it is next year that the rates will see the affects of all this new spending.

Chairman Dave also explains that the move was

provided for by surplus funds in the budget. What Chairman Dave didn't tell you was that the Auditor stated in his verbal comments, made while presenting his 2007 audit report to the Authority Members at the Authorities 2008 budget meeting, that the Authority lost money during the 2007 operating year, and based on the expected increases in operating expenses for 2008, the Authority should consider increasing the sewer tax to offset those increased cost. The Auditor's comments were made prior to the unplanned additional cost associated with the move, additional employees and legal cost Chairman Dave spoke about in his article.

Chairman Dave and the Authority are about to do to the Edgewater Park sewer tax payers, what the Township Committee did to the Edgewater Park taxpayers over the past 4 years. Chairman Dave and the Authority, will deplete the surplus for day to day expenses and then increase the sewer taxes next year to cover the additional operating expenses for this year.

Did you also see were Chairman Dave and the Authority also want the Sewer Authority Rate Payers to also pay to expand sewers to areas of Edgewater Park that do not have sewer now? This is a great deal for Developers, so now they can build residential high density housing on land that was supposed to be preserved for farmland or open space, and who now will not need to pay for that expenses, and we the Sewer Tax Payers get to pick up the tab.

See what happens when you keep electing and re-electing politicians who raised your local municipal property taxes 87.5% during the 10 years they have controlled our township committee and who appointed the current Edgewater Sewerage Authority Members who raised our sewer tax 62.5% in 1 year!

Keep it up Edgewater Park, keep rewarding financial and managerial incompetence and see how long you can afford to live here and pay your taxes!

To JB and other anonymous critics, give the readers a good reason why the facts presented, are not factual or why these tax increases are an example of good governance.

I can't wait for your response and yes you are right, this is about sour grapes. Sour grapes about how our town being mismanaged!

Beverly City Council President doesn't have to follow building inspection laws

623 Broad Street (Block 46, Lot 8) is the blue half of the twin house and 625 (Block 46, Lot 9) is the white half of the twin. (Check the date on the photo)

If you go to the Burlington County Web site, click on Departments, then click on Board of Taxation, then click on Tax Record Search you enter the District via the drop down menu as well as the Block and Lot numbers for the properties to verify the information published or click on the following links, Crespo and Crispo.

You will see that Beverly City Council President Louis Crespo owns 623 Broad St and Co-owns 625 Broad St with Council Woman Elect Barbara Kelly even though Louis's last name is spelled different (Crispo instead of Crespo).

Now if you look closely at the addition that has been built on the back of the two properties, you will note that the addition does not have a party wall between the two properties. This lack of a fire party wall is a violation of the NJ building codes as well as a problem for the mortgage holders. It is also known that a doorway has been cut between the two homes without a building permit.

Mr Crespo was taken to municipal court (case was held in EP because of Mr. Crespo being on Council) and was found guilty of not applying for a building permit and was fined.

Mr Crespo then filed for a building permit but after two years has not called for an inspection and closeout. This means that the City of Beverly has not received any additional tax for the improvement and no inspectors have verified the workmanship, safety or conformance to building codes for the work done by Mr. Crespo.

Why has this flaunting of the Beverly City Zoning and Building codes being allowed?

Because Mr Crespo can do what he wants and there is no one in Beverly who will hold him accountable. Now that Mr. Crespo has won re-election and his co-owner of 625 Broad St is about to be sworn in as a new Councilwoman, just think of what other laws he will exempt himself from.

Those of you in Beverly that have run afoul of Beverly City Council President Louis Crespo in the past, better look out. In fact you may want to move quickly because he is about to make his new neighbor JB the Police Chief.

What is hard to understand, why are the rest of the City Council going along with Louis's antics. Many of the Council Members are fine upstanding, law abiding residents who would never think to abuse their authority like Louis.

We will be asking for copies of the outstanding building permits for 623 and 625 Broad Street as well as any public records. We will publish copies of them for your information.

One last comment! Just you try and build an addition on your house and see if you can get away with what Louis Crespo ala Luis Crispo has! Oh I forgot, he won re-election and so he is now King Luis or is it King Louis?
