that took all the old appliances and I asked them they said hey we get paid to do it whatever whatever the work is getting done in there they almost done that house is going to catch on fire with the shoty workmanship of these two guys that can't speak English so they can't read the instructions on putting in electric pluming and all the other goodies when they put all the big refrigerator dryer all that in bof and it's a girl next store shy but is going to get it nobody has Mr St is going to out one time one time never followed up there's no stickers on them doors whatsoever saying stop work

now it's another separate incident there's the story of me being this and that and the cop and one $2,000 $5,000 I was put on Facebook and I've been threatened many of times by people in the belmare area and whatever the  is I don't do that I don't have time for that whatever toilet paper you buy at Walmart I don't care whatever drapes I don't care me give me one second Sir Chief is there a pending matter in our Municipal Court yes involving this gentleman yes sir as a complaintant or a defendant defendant okay sir you know when you approached me outside I told me I had an attorney I told you I couldn't speak to you and and you can say whatever you want I would caution you that if you have charges pending against you you may want to consult your attorney before you do that because you're a defendant in our Municipal Court this group can't Prejudice that court process in any way by having a dialogue with you so I can can speak to your attorney or your attorney can speak to their municipal prosecutor but I can't let these it would be unethical for me and or for them to engage you and it would be appropriate for me to to inform you and I can't stop you can say whatever you want I'm not trying to stifle I appr no I appreciate it sir I just want you to be very careful of what I consider about maybe not speaking unless you got specific permission from your lawyer to do so okay can I go yeah sure number one I I have that attorney hired for the house next door 16 Park Drive I am not hiring that attorney for this crap that this woman spread about me I'm coming and defending myself you would do that in the Municipal Court not the front of Mayor and counsel they don't have any jurisdiction at all I I understand that but it's a problem going on with our streets you can say whatever you want sir telling you that than you resolution this is what I this is my code I go by all right it's hard enough remembering the truth let alone remembering lies so I can come at you like a machine gun because it's all true I prefer you not reference weapons and oh well okay I'm sorry I'm sorry what a pistol sorry I'm sorry it's I'm not a l we all got to be lawyers when we walk out the front door but anyway let me finish and we can get out of here and go watch whatever TV or whatever Giants Cowboys eight: hope they both lose anyway um my pet peeve town is when people shoot the grass in the street and when with their mowers and they leave it there and it looks crappy looks poopy I won't say the word because I don't know if that's allowed or not so with that I always call Highway Department I get Mr SI siano and or Kim or Pat Gallagher and they send somebody out it's usually Jacob pone and through the week it's taken care of they get they get the landscaper or the owner or whatever and they say oh you can't do that blah blah blah and I've seen many of landscapers throw it into storm seers to get it out of their truck they don't have to pay for it well that was working and then I came to Mayor Chuck sorder and I said Chuck we still got the problem in the weekend they come in on the weekend and they come from Kramer Hill they come from Camden they come from all like that area and they don't care what they do or how they do it as long as they get it cut blow it in the street get their money and go from the old people it's not where I live on Park Drive there's a lot of older people there now I'm 62 and I'm saying they're older than me so so Chuck I said it to Chuck he goes Pat I can't hire a policeman to look for people putting grass industry I said I understand that I get it but still it's a problem and it is a pep peeve of Pat gger is also the highway superintendent so Chu you said come up with something I said all right took me about an hour and a half two hours I thought about it I didn't know I don't know your husband I I've known him but I didn't know him to have the position nice guy great guy and I said to you why don't we get the code enforcement guy to print up the code nobody knows it really what the words are it's not a popular thing so 8 1/2 by 11 and you took a little like a week or so and then you had it and you gave me three print it up Chuck and I get what how about 25 and I gave them out to different landscapers and I gave them to the guys that were good too like Cutting Edge and the local guys so they know it's an even playing field now and they could say to the passing the buck on saying yo pal you can't do it did you see that gave out 25 got out of hand no I didn't get out of hand one person one person was out of hand so then I I got 25 more printed up a barrel Hall and with that I got into 15 more and then Union Avenue happened right around the corner from me all one side is green except for like every third house or fourth house they're mostly Hispanic I knocked on the first order lady was very polite says no too much just and I went over and I picked up the grass I said and she said okay and I approached them and I all say I always say hello my name is Patrick reck I'm I live in town I'm a volunteer and I'm letting you know about this and you said to say you your code enforcement passing that he said you can say Pat no I said do not you'd be impersonating an employee and you were after the fact he said and you were not getting hired as an employee I didn't say I was getting hired I was a volunteer yeah we had you cannot do that and say that position all right well I told you that and then you stopped I I stopped yes so but with that went down and there was one girl one lady and then she was very mean nasty uh she said why are you knocking on my door I'm on the phone I said well you shouldn't have answered and I we wouldn't be talking so I walked away he's talking to the case may so you could not respond too too far into it or yeah and you're your limit okay but I just want to say I'm firmly Behind These Guys right here whatever they're great guys they're overworked they got a lot going on and it's a shame because they only have a limited amount of time when they come out and they say Pat we got to go right because I got the house on the other side me that shooting them little rubber B things whatever the hell they are those two kids are monsters but anyway I get it okay and with the grass I totally got it MH so I got another one and give me 10 minutes I'll think of it now yeah your time thank you mayor can we res back to Communications just because we have a juvenile here that would on the communications we needs to get home okay he's real quick we'll

an easy one I like easy give me okay all right all that's done I have an email address called stand together as one at alb.com the whole idea of standing together Unity right is that we're not alone right I made it an address so that you could sign up to uh what do you call it go against the national debt as you all know that's my main that's my main Pursuit for the last 10 years or so um October 1st next Tuesday is n uh what do you call it New Year's Day for the United States fiscal calendar and there was an official uh what do you call it sign up if you want to write sign me up to stand together as one at outlook.com I know that it's impossible to ask uh what do you call it as many people as I need to in order to sign up for this however the reason that I do is Because unless you say that there's something wrong with the system that loses value every day it's just going to keep coming and I don't I don't like working to go backwards I I don't I I don't like to use money that's fake right people are more important than the money that that we have to use that's why we have situations that we have right I figure if we eliminate the root then we can get on with the solution so um I'm going to send an email to each of you at your Belmore um email app address just urging you I know that you already have mayor and I thank you and for anybody else here that has signed this petition thank you because I don't remember so well but I know that I presented this at nauseum anyway the only way that I know to continue to work toward this is to promote it at meetings like this
