A bunch of crying sissys. Shut up and do the the job you think you are qualified to to to.

Seitz is all about the money.

Perhaps he can leave on May 1st instead, and give back the vacation days as a kind gesture. The money could then go to the school fields which were ignored during his tenure.

Maybe he can leave tomorrow. I really don't think anyone would care or miss the selfish poor excuse for an educator.

I am with you Patrick H. and Sick of the Bull, the earlier this Poster Boy of Greed goes the better.

This township has paid too much money for this ineffective Poster Boy for too long. And this township has NOTHING show for it.

When renewing Seitz's contract in 2010, then-board chairman Mr. Anthony Mancuso may have thought that "the majority of the board is very pleased that it is able to secure a proven leader like Dr. Seitz to continue the wonderful work he has done in the district" (source: nj.com 11/11/10)

Well, Mancuso was and is dead wrong as the other board members who voted to extend Seitz’s contract with pay raises. Mancuso and all other Seitz supporters who currently sit on this board need to be ousted for their incompetency and disservice to students.

While past BOE's were lining Dr. Greed's pockets for YEARS with an over-bloated salary-- above the state salary cap -- the following is what our township got in return for residents' hard-earned tax dollar:

1. ELEVEN of Par-Troy schools FAIL to meet federal No Child Left Behind proficiency standards for 2011. Dr. Greed basically advises the district to dismiss the findings. Majority on the board say NOTHING.

2. The disparity of student educational performance scores between the two high schools become more apparent with the east side markedly lower than the west as highlighted by NJ Monthly's biannual ranking of Top 100 High Schools:

2012 - Par-High 86 Par-Troy Hills 23
2010 - Par-High 84 Par-Troy Hills 50
2008 - Par-High 104(not the top 100 anymore) Par-Troy Hills 87
2006 - Par-High 84 Par-Troy Hills 87

(Part Two)

3. Instead of spending his energy carrying out the district’s legally mandated responsibility of providing quality education for all students on all sides of town, Seitz instead focuses on a “legally mandated ban” on selling PTA ice cream in schools. A measure that gains national headlines and not in a good way.

4. Two years without a teachers’ contract.

Really?? Is this what our money paid for?

Much like our departing Police Chief and hopefully soon our Mayor, good riddance Dr. Greed. THESE are the children that need to be left behind for Parsippany to move forward in the right direction.

Parsippany has to stop the inertia and start holding school and town officials immediately accountable the minute they step into office or start a job.

Governor Christie has done more to warn township residents, taxpayers and students about the ills of this superintendent than our own school board, our own township council and our own mayor.

Residents have got to stop waiting for the inflicted damage to surface at the hands of unaccountable school and town officials before realizing something is amiss.

Our township’s future well being relies on it.

Agreed. Lou Valori was one of the BOE members who voted for Seitz contract renewal and increase in salary! Now he's running for Council - I don't want this guy anywhere near my tax dollars!

Hi Tom Kenol!!

You still sound like a winning little boy that is doing everything possible to help your pal Mayor Barberio cling on to his job. But I'm sorry you need to have a reality check! Your good friend Barberio has failed the taxpayers of Parsippany and your facts are so clueless. However, the following information is factual about you pal Barberio and his crew:

The past 3 yrs of failures of Mayor Barberio

Over $3,000,000 in attorney fees
Empty commercial buildings and increasing tax rates
Chief of police payout of over $500,000,which the Mayor negotiated
A pay out of a $250,000 lawsuit for bulling a clerk
Appointed of Indian liason 3 months prior to his election. The same Jigger Shah investigated for absentee ballot scandal. Only to manipulate the Indian vote!
Running mate Vinnie Ferrera who likes bullying little girls and making racial comments about Indian girls on his soccer team.
Milin Shah who is the reborn again Democrat. Who campaigned for the elcetion of Barrack Obama with his uncle Jigger Shah. Please see attached: https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gpg925
http://www.politickernj.com/tags/milin-shah

Just curious ...

I see that Barberio has endorsements from:

- United States Congressman Rodney P. Frelinghuysen
- Sen. Joseph Pennacchio
- Assemblywoman Betty Lou DeCroce.
- Assemblyman Jay Webber, and a host of other politicians.

Is anyone aware of any politicians behind Paul Carifi?

He may not have any of them, but what he does have are the regular people of Parsippany and a lot of them

Hey Webmaster,

The list Barberio's “endorsers” you cite consists of only one township resident and I am confident not any of these endorsers have looked closely into how ineffective this mayor is as well as who actually is running this town. The endorsers likely failed to examined how the quality of life in Par Troy has precipitously declined since this ethically-challenged town hall incompetent took office.

Just like Seitz, Par-Troy needs to show him the door YESTERDAY.

Webmaster, Par Troy voters will support and vote for a leader who has the people behind him/her rather than the politicians who attend the Kumbaya cocktail parties and political functions for notoriety.

That is why I voted, and will vote again, for Governor Christie who makes the hard decisions. That is also why I will NOT vote for this problematic Barberio, who is the antithesis of an ethical leader practicing sound judgment for the benefit of the residents-at-large. His record proves it, but the endorsing politicians are not looking too deeply.

Again, Governor Christie did more and said more to warn us of this Seitz than this mayor. Nothing short of taking a vial of the Governors's blood and injecting it in the unrproductive mayor will turn his disastrous record around.

Ha Webmaster, politician endorsements are all the empty-Barberio’s got. He can’t spotlight a great, or even a mediocre, record to date. So he props up the politicial buddies and last-minute liaisons.

This mayor and his buddies is what got us in this mess in the first place: Case number one, the Police Chief that couldn’t get a police department to effectively enforce laws. But Par-Troy taxpayers are paying a huge bill for years to come as the mayor’s derelict buddy with the badge walks out the door. And the mayor penned this contract so he's got no one to blame but himself.

Now wait a second Tom Kenol who posted above. Aren't you the same town worker Tom Kenol who posted on the Patch reporting that 100+ workers will be moving out of town if Barberio was voted out and Carifi voted in? And then you were forced to take the post down after some level-headed friend and/or union leader said it wasn't a good idea to keep the post up.

Hey Tom Kenol, who cares what the town workers will do. News flash -- there is not a huge job market for disgruntled township workers not held accountable because this distracted mayor can't stop himself from falling asleep behind the wheel.

And FYI, this week the North Jersey District Water Commission laid off 27 workers with more talks of more layoffs in the near future. Further evidence that municipalities throughout the state, especially Parsippany, need to put in effective leaders who will make the unpopular decisions that do not sit well with you and your township buddies. The leaders need to be accountable to the taxpayers and voters who gave them their jobs. This leader is a flat out flop in this department.

As this state moves forward, welcome in Parsippany only will be a leader who is willing to work for and display a effective record for all four years of their term. Not one that scambles to gather political friends to bail him out and cover up for four years of inaction and questionable governing practices.

Barberio can host as many highfalutin functions with as many political attendees as the struggling incumbent wants, it will NEVER beautify his UGLY record in office.

You people are overthinking these alleged "endorsements". They were just there for the free grub.... not the political slug trying to survive the election.

KEY
Lets just ask the question that needs to be asked and answered, is Parsippany and the people who live in this town better off now than we were four years ago? Are we getting more bang for our tax dollars, is this town cleaner, better managed and are the needs and wishes of the taxpayers and VOTERS being considered for whats right for the people rather the personal agendas of politicians? If we are being honest with ourselves the answer must be NO. It is time for a change, it is time to clean house and clean up this town.

Let's ask a couple of different questions. Has Mayor Barberio's term in office been defined by a self centered politician desperate to ensure his re-election? Have many of the appointments Mayor Barberio made and the projects he supported been driven by his need to surround himself with people who will owe him something at election time rather then by what was in Parsippany's best interests? Has the recent spurt of Mayoral activity been undertaken as a result of Mr. Barberio's discovery that the Republican party support, he until recently took for granted, has all but slipped away as once loyal supporters are looking everywhere for anybody but Barberio. Perhaps these are the questions Congressman Frelinhuysen, State Senator Penacchio, Assemblywoman DeCroce and Assemblyman Webber should have asked and answered before they so quickly jumped on the Barberio bandwagen which, right now, is on the road to nowhere.

Bob,

You state these folks "should have asked and answered before they so quickly jumped on the Barberio bandwagen"...

The fact is - they know both of these candidates very well....THATS WHY THEY JUMPED SO QUICKLY !!!

Webmaster
If indeed "these folks" know Mayor Barberio and Mr. Ferrara "very well" and they still believe that Mayor Barberio's and Mr. Ferrara's politics. performance and potential serve the people of Parsippany well then I would suggest that "these folks" have sacrificed common sense to circle around incumbents regardless of the future cost to Parsippany residents.
Unlike Governor Christie who understands the value of supporting ideas and talent that are not defined and limited by a knee jerk commitment to outdated orthodoxy and politicians soley focused on getting re-elected "these folks" need to step back and understand that by tying themselves to Mayor Barberio and Mr. Ferrara, they tie themselves to the past. Parsippany needs to escape from the past as defined by Mayor Barberio and Mr. Ferrara and look to the future as defined by leaders like Governor Christie,

I wonder if the endorsements will also be be coming via e-mail from all of the youth sports organazations to all of their registrants? I for one dont receive them but my belief is that is not something that should be done! After all Sports are "For The Kids" not the politicians.

If one was to read all the comments regarding the BOE and town hall it is fair to say that Parsippany is a mess!

wow! this was about Seitz and his unused vacation ,right?

Monica, that's because TeamGreed (a.k.a. 'the i-team' in town) hijacks every thread in patch in order to push their agenda. They will do everything and anything to get in office...

Does anyone know if this article in the Daily Record refers to the fourth i-team member?.....I hope not...Maybe Paul and James, sorry... i meant Conservative 7 could pull the full article and paste it here....
