Louie the lock is back at it again? "Responsible Republican who signed a letter republicans for Luther! You say your conservitive how about you voting on Dr Sietz contract while on the Boe? Putting up signs for MiMi against rosemary ? You got a funny way of showing your loyalty

Patchitup1

Stop your whining. At least Republians who have had it with this Mayor and the downward spiral off how this town is doing business have another option to exercise. Great News!

valori is only doing this because he was not promoted. These guys are only out for themselves. Looking forward to learning more about Milin Shah - Parsippany can use an outsider without any selfish interests at stake."

The million dollar question is who does Peluso / Valori endorse for the Republican Candidate for Mayor.. Will they back Mayor Barberio or will they support Paul Carifi.. Inquiring minds would like to know...

These guys are with the "i" team crew. People these four are not a good mix for Parsippany. In case you forgot...there's no "i" in team but four in Carifi's. Maybe Jamie isn't the best for Parsippany but these four sure aren't.

I've known Milin for a long time. He genuinely cares about Parsippany and the people who live there. He'll work hard to do right by the town.

Very excited to see Milin Shah on the ticket. I am very proud to say I know him personally as a friend. He has proven many of times that he is a very strong leader, and a very knowledgeable person. I am very confident he can and will do many great things for this town!

Will these people spell out what exactly they will do.

He pointed to challenges he aims to tackle, including rising taxes, traffic, flood issues and creating thriving businesses.

Great but how will they accomplish this. I would like to see precise details of the actions they will take.

Will they stop the tax increases? Will they reduce the taxes? Will they reduce spending? Will they tackle the waste that goes on in the town?

Milin: resigned from Planning Board: didn't have time; resigned from high school basketball coach: didn't have time; member of Municipal Alliance Commitee: never shows up, didn't have time. Running for Councilman? Why? Barberio puppet. What happen to Tiedemann and buddy Vinny? Afraid of another Democrat on the council?

Jon he is still on the par hills coaching staff for basketball. Just saw there game tonight. Check your facts before you say something please.

As a lifelong resident of Parsippany an having been an active member of this community through a number of different roles, I can't wait to see what Milin will bring to the table.

That's true; he was telling me about the game yesterday. How did the boys do?

They won. They beat whippany park by 1 point.

Mayor Barberio or should I say patchup1!!

You will be voted out on June 4th!! The residents of Parsippany can not afford you anymore. Your BLUNDERS have costed the taxpayers millions of dollars in Attorney fees and for lawsuits all based on your poor leadership!! And Mayor do you really even have a college degree?? And I would love to see your resume and references for who you worked for in the past. Becuse, it very apparent that those skills did not prepare you to be a Mayor!!

Well said? Jaime, Paul, Louis, Robert, and Milin. None of you will be getting my vote as the five of you are probably the five anonymous posters on this story. If you aren't, then it is someone very close to each of you. None of you will be receiving my vote because none of you deserve it. What a sorry lot of candidates this is.

I don’t know how Louie or Robert can call themselves loyal Republicans with a straight face. Everyone knows that both Valorie and Peluso were caught red handed helping the Democrat candidates in previous primaries and general elections against the Republican candidates. At least Peluso does his Judas act covertly, but Valori, well that’s another story. In the 1995 primary Valori signed a letter that was distributed town wide entitled “Republican’s for Luther” and actively campaigned for him. He was also caught brazenly putting up signs for Mimi Lett’s against Agostini in the 1991 election. At Johnathan Nelson’s swearing in it was a love fest between the so called loyal Republicans and the Democrats in the audience. Let me ask you folks; are these the actions of loyal Republican?

Now everyone who is a Democrat, don’t get your panties up in a wad. I do not care what party anyone is registered with and believe that despite party affiliation average, ordinary citizens should vote for the best possible candidate. My problem here is when people proclaim to be loyal to a party, are seeking the endorsement of that party then they should, at the very least, really be loyal to that party’s beliefs. Neither of these guys are and that is a problem.

Really, Robert Peluso a viable candidate? If economic development is a failure in the town then Peluso is the poster-boy for failure. Do you really want to elect a guy to the council who at previous town council meetings openly and for the record claimed total responsibility for the town’s economic development engine through his position as President of the Chamber and is now trying to use the inference of alleged economic development failure to his advantage? Do you really want to elect a guy who openly opposed and attempted to sabotage the town’s proactive attempt to create a foundational springboard for economic development simply because of his own grandiose ego, misplaced feelings of entitlement and maniacal self-absorption? Do you really want to elect a guy to the council whose support of his position as the sole engine for economic development was a former chair to the Democratic Party in town? Do you really want to elect a guy who methodically worked to undermine the town’s attempts to promote economic development for his own selfish reasons? Do you really want to elect a guy who proclaimed sole responsibility for the town’s economic development and is now attempting to create a false platform to deflect and shroud his own failure in economic development? Do you really want to elect a guy who can be so manipulative and misleading to make honest decisions for you on the council?

Really, Louie “The Lock” Valorie a viable candidate! If the Superintendent is the “poster-boy for greed” then Louie is his brother. Do we really want to elect a person on the Council who walked away with more than $120,000 in payout for his unused sick-time as per his generous union contract? Do we really want another retired police officer who is collecting $80,000 plus a year in pension, free life-time health benefits for him and his family and earned his PHD in Education (a field that had nothing to do with police work) on the backs of the town’s taxpayer due to his lucrative union contract making decisions for us on the council? Do we really want a guy who knew he was still technically an employee of the town while collecting his terminal leave and was ineligible to run for council but did so anyway making decisions for us on the council? Do real Republicans want a guy who has repeatedly and openly abandoned his party to promote candidates from the opposing party representing them in the primary and making decisions for them on the council? Do we really want a person who while on the BOE first voted for Seipt’s outrageous contract before he voted against it making decisions for us on the council?

Valori’s and Peluso’s best buddy and prime supporter is Jimmy Vigilante. Remember…If you lay down with dogs, you get up with flees. Need anything more be said.?

Sorry if I missed this in the article but does anyone know who is running for which seat?. I like what I know about both Mr Valori and Mr Peluso so far but if they endorse Mr Carifi as mayor that will be all the information I'll need to know to vote for their opponents.

Oh let's not forget Peluso's track record on community involvement and economic development. Instead of lobbying for the property next to the Long Horn to remain open space and continue to act as a detention basin for the overflow from the brook and high water table, he used his influence to successful lobby the council for a zone change so that a developer could construct high density town homes. Now he’s promoting himself to the public in his bid for a council seat as a champion of ideas to solve flooding in our area when his actions to promote the overdevelopment of this parcel of land directly contributed to the never before flooding of Rte. 46 and the Holiday Inn by Hurricane Irene.

Carol obviously you are a Barberio supporter. How can you support an individual who has paid our town attorney an outrageous amount of money. Barberio is the one who water our tax payer money on the attorney for the field of dreams. Then Barberio wasted our money defending the letter he wrote asking a judge to take it easy on a convicted drug dealer. Carifi has my vote as well as many other educated taxpayers votes in Parsippany

How many cops or ex cops (county/municipal,etc.) are currently on the council. Does anyone know? Not an issue, but just curious.

I thought Mr.Barberio's running mate was Inglesino Esq.

David C, I ask the same question only expanding to include BOE as well. What is the tally?

Currently, Brian Stanton works for the sheriff's office, as did Paul Carifi before his recent retirement. On the BOE, there are Parsippany Police Capt. James Carifi, former Passaic officer Tony DeIntinis and former Montville Police Capt. Gary Martin.

The seats up in this year's election are, I believe, Vincent Ferrara's and Jonathan Nelson's. The other three are up in January '15.

Hi Natalie,

I am all for supporting active police officers along with retired police officer in serving the public.

Carol M or should I say , Mr. Barberio (that's what you'll be known as in January 2014 or Liking Shah, or maybe the mayors other buddy Mr. Margotta, stop hiding behind these fake names. You can say what you want any educated person would know that Mr. Carifi would have to refuse himself on voting on a police contract, although I believe John Fox was able to vote on his son in laws years ago. That was according to Mr. Inglisino. Carol you really need to talk about the issues in this town. Mr. Carifi has always been one to listen to peoples concerns, not like Mr. Barberio who can't find the time to call people back, he forgot all the little people who elected him. That's why he won't be Mayor this time next year.

For all you haters and puppets for Mayor Barberio!! The following are facts as to why the Taxpayers of Parsippany can no longer afford Jammie!!
1. We have an overwhelming amount of vacant business space in Parsippany that means a loss to the taxpayers. He has done nothing!! One example the REALOGY bldg vacant millions in taxable rates!
2. Over one MILLION Dollars a year in attorneys fees!! Just to take care of his pals to fund him for his campaigns. Follow his election reports and follow the money trail.
3. Lawsuits that are costing the township several hunderd dollars a year to the taxpayers. Just resently we the taxpayers had to pay a clerk that worked for 4 months $250,000 come on we have folks that loss their job and homes!!
4.Nepotisim jobs for our career politicans that are milking the pension system.Our friend Ann Grossi Freeholder handling Workmen Comp Cases on behalf of our Mayor. Along with her pal John Cesario Freeholder who is milking our town as a public defender and milking the town of Montville all at the taxpayers expense!! The Mayors daughters boyfriend works at the water department with no interview!! So if you need a job go down to the water department if thats the new standard!! This is not the agenda that our Governor supports!! Thiese are career politican that can't make it in the private sector because their clueless.
5.Mayor the Field of Dreams cost the taxpayers over 200,000 dollars in legal bills. Are you a Democrat?? Oh thats Milin Shah!

6. The police deparment is short over 30 officer but your making promotions to take care of your buddies at the taxpayers expense! And what were you thinking of when you gave the chief of police a big fat contract!! Much more lucrative than chief Peckerman!! Wait to the taxpayers see his contract that the mayor approved!! This is Madness!!
7. I still for the life of me can't understand why would you write a letter on the Township letter head begging for leincey for a convicted drug dealer!! Who sold drugs to the youth in our town?? Jammie that letter is the property of the PEOPLE of Parsippany!! And to top it off you get reprimanded from the Morris County Prosecutors Office for your horrible decision!! You again embarrassed our town. Great job is that what the Governor would be proud of along with all your assembly friends?? Great job I just can't wait for all these elected officals who will stick up for your pathetic behavior. They will have alot of explaining to do to their constituetes!!
What is quite clear about you is your lack of education, leadership and experience. Your a nice guy but the wrong guy for the job you are way over your head and the taxpayers of Parsippany can not afford you anymore.

In local elections; why must we have the same "two" parties as our political cliche only allows under the big dome? Republicans and Democrats. A conservative republican? look at what they have done for the country since Reagan and impeding all business. When Peluso says; making a difference; guess that means him being the difference period. Flood problems and thriving business, can he get the bi-pass value on the Dam fixed or see to it that great weather events are cancelled? Thriving business; will he bring our nations' jobs back and fight for social justice; how about business that keeps Lake Hiawatha, free from trash, litter and garbage practicing "clean communities" principals in the community. WE ALL SHOULD KNOW BY NOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD FOR THE REST OF US.

It’s not because it is costing the town more money or taking police off of patrol. Truthfully, the Captains are on patrol right along side of the regular police officers and when the administration promoted the officer to Captain because he accepted additional duties the position that he held was eliminated. So where is the excessive spending? The real reason that Paul Carifi made such a big stink about the Captain’s position is not because we need more patrols or because of cost it was because having 4 Captains instead of 3 forces his brother James Carifi to compete for the Chief’s position rather than just having the Mayor promote him to the position. How does it do that? Well by filling the 4th Captain’s position forces Carifi to take the civil service exam, be ranked in the top three on the list and actually compete for the appointment. Let’s take a look at Valori. Everyone knows that Valori is running because the Mayor did not promote him to the next level several months before he was slated to go out on terminal leave.

These guys keep shouting about how loyal they are. Well their loyalty is not focused on doing what is in the best interests of the town, but what is in their best interests. Open your eyes folks. These guys are the same old, same old crew who worked against Agostini and the Republican party in town. They are the ones who are the go along, to get along crowd and those who don’t become targets for elimination. Keep calling the council a rubber stamp. It simply isn’t true. That is what is happening in our town and these people are being influenced by persons outside of town who have other ambitions and do not like the perceived power that Parsippany has when we are a untied Parsippany. Be careful Parsippany. Your decisions in November will speak volumes about where Parsippany is headed.

Is it true that the Mayor and his buddy Inglisino have Ann Grossi comp cases for the township to pad her income and now be gave Cesaro a job as a public defender to pad his. Now Grossi is running for county clerk to then her pension into a 100,000. This is why she needs to go, time to end her time. This mayor continues to waste our money enough is enough.

Your really something. Keep changing your name so you can keep spreading bad info. Cesaro does not get a pension for his public defender job. Grossi will not be padding a pension if she is elected Clerk. In 2006 The pension rules were amended to exclude newly elected officials from joining the pension. So your comments are bald faced lies. Both Grossi and Crsaro are attorneys. It's what they do for a living. they are performing legal services for which they are licensed. They are being paid for services rendered. If Grossi is doing workers Comp it goes through the insurance company. The insurance companies have s pool of attorneys they, not the town assign cases to for their various clients. I'd say educate yourself but we both know that your comments have nothing to do with education.

Ann Grossi and Cesaro would be grandfathered because she's been a politician since 2006 so she's already in the system, so you should really educate your self.

Ok boys and girls we get it,
Larry for (Not Barberio) Parker for (Barberio)
Let their bodies of work speak for themselves,Not sure but if the people were polled on the last year of hijinx we have a clear winner!!

Wrong again. There is no grandfather clause.

Why is it that Barberio's buddies make allegations against police officers that had served their community in a distinguished manner and can't prove their allegations. They are based on childish rumors and conspiracy theories. Obviously Mayor Barberio made up these allegations for his cronies to post for him. He is to incompetent to write these very scripted posts himself.
FACTS
1. John Cesaro is appointed by Barberio at the taxpayers expense. Is their a conflict of interest that he was an elected councilmen for our town and shortly afterwards rehired for the Mayors payroll. This ethically stinks!!
Fact, our good friend Ann Grossi was approved by the Mayor to do workmens comp cases for our town she now gets paid by our tax dollars.
Question what experience does she have with workmens comp cases? Fact none! Why werent these jobs given to competent attorneys with experience.
Ceasro not reappointed to Denville, Why? Cesaro not reappointed to Hanover, Why?
What will be intersting is will they openly endorse Mr. Blunder? If they do the residents of the town should be outraged that these two officals are paid by our tax dollars and would be a conflict of interest and would stink as corruption!!
FACT
1. One million in attorney fees a year! Johnny is getting richer and drives a nice BMW with a big house!
2. Vacant bussiness= Loss of revenue
3. 250, 000 pay out for clerk
4. Promotions with 30 patrolmen short
5. Letter for convicted drug dealer
6. Nepotism jobs

Natalie-
I just want to throw out there for everyone- take a look at the elect report for DeIntinis and Carifi. How is it he(DeIntinis) spent nothing for his run at the BOE? Mr. Carifi onlyreported spending $2,252.30 for his party at the Sheraton. Who paid for the 300 dble sided 4x4 signs? The full page Parsippany Life ad? The door hangers? Post card mailers? Robo-calls? Small signs? I think you get the picture...a private non-reported donation from the deep pockets on the hill-Mr. Colangelo? or perhaps Mr. Mossberg? Maybe payment for Carifis chauffer duties during Sandy for those Bentley gas runs to the head of the line.I think Mr Messmer needs to wake from his slumber and start digging...

Let's see if Barberio gets Mr. Inglisino to fund his campaign, everyone knows that Barberio or should I say our taxpayer money has funded Inglisinos pockets.
