This is a wonderful day. A low life, loser and another corrupt animal out of a position of power.

Tony,

It is going to be hard to see you go. You are a great man both personally and professionally and I am very honored to know you. You have done a wonderful job here in Parsippany and will truly be missed. Take care and we wish you well.

I wonder how much the Chief is getting in his payout by Mayor Barberio?

I bet the chief is getting at least 10,000 a month for his pension for the rest of his life!! And I believe he will be getting at least $500,000 in a payout at the taxpayers expense. Thank you Mayor Barberio for giving the Chief a sweet contract at the taxpayers expense!! He should be smiling in that photo. He is truly the poster boy of greed!! Keep up the great work Mayor Barberio you are draining the taxpayers!! Im sure he is going to use that money to by himself a boat for his summer home in LBI. Thanks Mayor!!

Time to promote the next one so he can also get a nice retirement package in about a year or two. Of course no mention of his unused sick and vacation day bonus, maybe he didn't get one?

It is good to be a cop in Parsippany. :-)

Good riddance! Don't let the door hit you in the rear on the way out Chief! Hopefully this Mayor won't be too far behind.

Maybe we can get some REAL law enforcement around here to crack down on rampant burglaries, solve maybe SOME of them, address the prostitution problem at hotels along the Route 46 corridor, aggressively enforce vehicular laws by getting the pencil pushing, mayoral yes-men carrying badges out of their offices, and put more boots-on-the-ground officers/detective on the streets. That is what Parsippany residents deserve, need and have been without for too long.

Mayor Barberio's Blunders and the hits just keep on comming at the Taxpayers expense!! You can't make this stuff up!! Maybe Toni could help out the Mayor with campaign donations? He at least owes him that much for that FAT PAYOUT!!

Thanks mom forvsaying that

This is great new for Parsippany. Worst chief ever.

The following are some of Mayor Barberio's Blunders:

1. $500,000 payout for retiring Chief of Police. Just remember the Mayor negotiates privately his fat contract.
2. Allowing a greedy commercial developer destroy the beauty of Lake Intervale.
3. $1,000,000 a year in attorney fees for his good friend John Ingelisino!
4. The police department is 30 police officers short and houses are constantly getting burglarized!!
5. The town is losing millions in ratables due to dozens of vacant commercial buildings.
6. The Mayor is allowing very lenient stacking enforcement in the apartments inorder to get votes.
7. The Field of Dreams disaster at least costing the taxpayers a $100,000 in attorney fees.
8. The referendum for the failed Field of Dreams another $40,000
9. Lawsuit by clerk who only worked 4 months and got paid $250,000
10. Nepotisim jobs for his good friends??
11. Driving around in our township car for personal use!!
12. Flooding the homeowners out in Lake Hiawatha!
13. Making promotions for the Chiefs pals before he retires that were not needed!
14. Writing a liencey letter for a convicted drug dealer in our town.

What I need to ask the taxpayers does the Mayor represent the Governors agenda on wasteful spending??

Mayor the taxpayers of Parsippany can not afford your blunders anymore!! See if the Chief could help you get a job in the county or go run for County Clerk!! We the taxpayers need you out of office for our childerens future!

Just sad to see someone take the position of chief not seriously and retire after a short time of only a couple of years. This looks like he took the job only to pad his pension.

Mr. Tushar please give the taxpayers the benifit of the doubt concerning your comments. You state Debbie and Diane points are real issues that need to be adressed. How are they twisted? And please explain to the taxpayers of Parsippany on how the sysytem work? Because Mayor Barberio has no clue! Please go thru the 14 points and expalin yourself. You sound like your a young attorney going to Law School that is very close to the Mayor. But we will give you the benifit of explaining.

According to Star Ledger - Retiring Parsippany police chief to get $132K a year, state says. What a job - cant wait for him to find another on the public dime.

That short run as he noted - not even two years - is sure expensive.

Mrs. Medugorie

The 14 points that have been discussed concerning Mayor Barberio's Blunders I can't agree enough too. Its truly ashame that our town has suffered some much under Mayor Barberio's Administration. Spending has gone totally out of control and the taxpayers are suffering!!

I am very disappointed with Mayor Barberio with his out of control spending.I am a senior citizen that grew up in this town and have seen all the drastic changes. I can no longer afford to live in this town anymore. I'm not sure how this younger generation is going to be able to raise their family in Parsippany.

I wonder how many worms the older school yard kids made him eat. Under his
delusional state of thinking he was a good chief, he will probably walk around with his badge pinned to his pajamas. I wonder if he still has his little red cowboy hat and boots.

Look mommy, I'm a real police chief! I wonder if I will be able to ride my horsey home at night?

Lets all just be a little easy on the Mayor!! You have to remeber that the town is approximately 27 square miles with a population of at least 50,000. We have miles of Interstate Highways that run thru out town and a budget of at least $60,000,000. So when you think of all these responsibilties for one man with no college degree and a lack of professional experience prior to becoming Mayor we need to give him a major learning curve. So please don't get upset that were wasting millions of tax payers dollars! Be pateint he has a major learning curve that he is trying to over come due to his lack of education and experience.

Mayor I have lived in this town for the past 20 years and my children have been very invoved with activities. I have been very patient with your administration over the past three years. But i must tell you that my husband work two jobs and we are struggling to make our monthly mortgage and tax payments. I know that being in a leadership position is very stressful. But what I must ask you is why would you negotiate a contract with our Police Chief that has given him such a large payout? From what I was told is that you and our township attorney negotiated his contract and no one else. And I was told the Chief could have told you that he didn't want the contract and would of retired as a deputy chief at a lower salary and less benifits. But you gave him a contract that was in his best interest for him only.I was upset about other town contracts in the past but the Chiefs contract tops them all. Please expalin to me and the taxpayers why you would do this? I have nothing against the Chief but this is outrageous!

Patrica H

I know why the Mayor gave the Chief a big fat contract is because he is clueless and he could care less about the taxpayers!! He won't even attempt to expalin this BLUNDER !!

Can you believe SABRETTI'S now serves ALLIGATOR SAUSAGE: Italiano Style?

Alligator sausage, Peppers, Onions & Potatoes on an Italian Long Roll.

Sabretti's is located on 22 Lakeside Boulevard in Hopatcong if you would like to test your taste buds, I glad I did.

Mayor,

I am very concerned as to whats happening to the middle class in our town?The responses that I read about and here are nothing but childish finger pointing behavior. There are so many pressing issues that urgently need to be corrected in our town.Mayor if you don't realize there so many people in our town that have loss their jobs, can't pay their taxes and are unable to pay thier heating bills. Please let the residents know what your going to do to make the quality of leaving easier for us residents

To "Phil L," I hope you wont be whining if the department starts "aggressively enforce vehicular laws." Actually based on articles in the DR and SL they're one of the most productive depts in the county....Just sayin!

Does anyone know if the sick and vacation pay the cheif recieved on retirement is based on tangible reviewable records or are they based on the recolection of the cheif?

Good riddens you waste of air. Corruption doesn't even begin to describe you. Hire back all the loads that didn't do anything when they were cops. Now they have cushy jobs to do nothing as civilian employees. How many of your load pals did you hire back anyway? Fred Knapp have fun with the load you're innevitably going to be hiring. Maybe you'll be able to keep him in the county where he works, while on the clock. Barberio obviously didn't keep a leash on this user. Dezenzo spent 90% of his time breaking bread in Newark, with his Essex pals and the other 10% assessing blame in every direction away from him.

So Mayor Barberio or should I say Patchup 1 you are truly a coward who hides behind his secret little name. I know you have many family issues to say the least but we will talk about them at another time. Just remember you have done nothing but disgraced the town and have used all you friends that helped you get where your at. And I cant't believe that you will be using Milin Shah just to get votes. All you are is a user and have no right to be representing the community. And your three mob boss wanna bees friends Vinnie Ferrera and Big Danny are truly another embarassment for the town. You guys just don't get it, the Parsippany residents are to educated to vote for you sub standard individuals.Maybe they should join your squeeze at the PAL for some special exercise classes! LOL!!

What ever will barney fife do without andy around to lead him aimlessly in angry and hatered.

To the delusional "1fairguy"--

I , nor the residents of Parsippany, will be whining at all when this department starts aggressively enforcing vehicular and other laws and get these desk cops onto the roads to work toward some real law enforcement. The lack of leadership in this Police Department and Town Hall is criminal in and of itself.

The township of approximately 50,600 people and 25.4 square miles has only two police officers manning the traffic division. What is their back up?? These two officers are assisted by signs, signs everywhere signs -- everything from "radar in use" notations on white speed limit signs, to middle-of-the-road stand alone signs and make-shift speed limit signs constructed by fed up, disgusted homeowners.

This township is severely under patrolled on every level while the taxpayers are robbed blind as they pay the lofty and fraudulent police retirement packages/accumulated sick and vacation days when they leave. Everyone -- just wait for the news coverage on what the Par Troy taxpayers have to shell out to this useless Chief. And we can all thank this useless Mayor for that contract deal.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid delusional "1fairguy" while resorting to your "just saying" comments and media references as evidence support. You are wrong and ill-informed. Get your nose out of the newspapers, butt off the chair, and be more aware of your surroundings.

Well said Phil L!

Yeah, I bet that news coverage will send many taxpayers over the edge when they realize what they are funding for.

So what is wrong with this town hall? You know, our Governor has courageously, admirably and tirelessly been speaking loud and clear to scrap these payouts all together and yet THIS Mayor is obviously NOT paying attention, NOT keeping faith with the taxpayer, NOT keeping his personal and friends’ agendas out of township business, and NOT running the township effectively for the benefit of its residents.

I am frustrated because this Mayor can not even follow the sound guidance of one of the best governors you and I will see in a LIFETIME. Let’s all write a letter something like the following:

Dear Mayor Barberio,

Hi, it’s one of the THOUSANDS of annoyed taxpayers who voted for you in the last election but have had enough with your reckless tactics for which residents will be paying for years to come.

There is not much thinking to do here, Mayor. This Governor has drafted a clear blue print regarding state, county and municipal reform and all YOU have to do is follow along. No fussing, no mussing and no need to add water. Just don’t get distracted by trying to reward friends who don’t accomplish anything for the township. Find a friend who can actually do something to benefit the taxpayer and their hard-earned dollar.

Par-Troy resident/taxpayers are just asking you to read carefully and follow the directions of our effective state leader (for clarity, I am not referring to you, Mayor).

Don’t follow your own gut, Mr. Mayor, because you are and have been getting it all wrong and taxpayers can’t afford your continued mishaps and side agendas! Mayor, take careful note, every tax dollar that is used to cash out police unused sick and vacation time should be going to limit tax increases to the taxpayer. That was the Governor speaking to this issue, not me. Please follow directions and stop ripping off the taxpayers.

Voters should be sending you, Mr. Mayor, into retirement just like this Police Chief. Unfortunately it sounds like the outgoing Chief will be cashing in big time on the taxpayer dime. I am not looking forward to hearing what we will be paying to this township employee as he heads out the door with absolutely nothing accomplished for the taxpayers and homeowners.

Signed,
Don’t be too sure about your reelection

This costly contract is one that residents will be heavily paying for a long period of time. Thanks Mayor…. For absolutely nothing but big bills to pay! You should be cited for screwing the taxpayer for your buddy's contract which financially straps the community with nothing to show for it. Barberio, you are to blame for opening up the taxpayer bank vault for your useless, derelict pal without requiring your pal to reform the department, address its ills and be accountable to the community and its taxpayer residents.

Under your watch Barberio, the PD has increasingly become a knee-jerk department that just takes reports AFTER crimes have been committed and files these reports away hoping for divine intervention to solve them. This department also fails to actively enforce laws and gets caught literally sleeping on the job for all to see on You Tube (yeah, I know it was under the lead of former Chief Peckerman- but there are lots more out TODAY in their trusty hiding spots snoozing away on township time and money).

Additionally, this department continues to blow off residents' outreach, not return their calls or tells residents "we can't do that" when taxpayers have the audacity of asking for some real law enforcement for their tax dollar. No thanks to you Barberio for your bang up job.

Mike M, you only got HALF the story here.

When you call the Mayor's hotline to report problems with the police or other department heads caught not doing their jobs, Mr. Barberio's office ignores it, sweeps it under the carpet and lets the administrators’ derelict behaviors continue.
This mayor is responsible for these recent years of allowing the lazy, unaccountable and cavalier culture of all departments to continue, looking like an unprepared do-nothing at town council meetings and accomplishing nothing during his term.

That's why Mr. Barberio is scrambling to align himself with and use anyone, near or far, who can artificially spike voter counts in his favor as a last-ditch effort to maintain a job he has proven to be egregiously incapable and unwilling to handle properly and ethically for the welfare of the township.

If I took some time off to spend with my family, I would be foreclosed on, my electricity would be turned off, and my car would be repoed.

Later to you, chief sitting bull!

Feeling proud that you have acccomplished nothing, left nothing good behind that you have done for the town that even one person would remember you for in the future and talk about?

Loser.
