    Yeah it is like looking at the Three Stooges... I want to see a visionary and it is time to clean house of the folks that haven't done a thing for thins community in years. Average taxes have increased yearly over 5% per year so this is a teaser no tax increase year. While taxes have gone up services have not -- I feel we are getting less and less for our money while traffic congestion increases and property values fall. Unfortunately this is a vicious cycle as ideal citizens and taxpayers are going to avoid this town and leave as things continue to decline. Think we need a new slogan. Great Place to Live Isn't Cutting It For A Slogan Any More.

    I think the news is as NJ Governor shouldn't he be required to have this surgery that would be considered elective surgery under most plans in the state of NJ. After all your taxpayers of NJ that you work for footed the bill of your health insurance so why would the procedure not be done here in NJ to support NJ commerce? Another example of Gov Christie's leadership and decision making skills in action.

    I agree with Thomas that the garbage collection in Parsippany is substandard. I would be surprised if the average sanitation worker was making $15.39/hour in Parsippany when we seem to overpay so many other public employees in this township. Of course then again watching 3-5 people sit around the recycling center in the town and do pretty much nothing probably doesn't warrant more than $15/hour. After all as a taxpayer I am paying you to do nothing -- based on this performance you are eligible to replace the current mayor who is also pretty much worthless and has done nothing to improve the quality if life of this community.

    What is this the Jerry Springer forum -- if the guy is guilty I hope he gets everything he deserves and more both in prison and when it is time to meet his maker. In the off chance he is being falsely accused I hope that the teen gets the harshest punishment feasible and that karma comes full circle. The only people worst than pedophiles are cold blooded murders and the crooked politicians that continue to steal from us blind.

    Nothing new -- hotels in Parsippany are routine areas of Prostitution, the new demographics love to stack and want everything for free and bring no value to the community. When the hotels aren't housing Prostitutes and Pimps they are gouging during the hurricane crisis. On the bright side traffic congestion will be at an all-time high after they rezone most of Parsippany (political kick backs anyone). Yep -- history does have a tendency of repeating itself.

    I would like to know the physicians on the take too please. Too bad government officials that get caught stealing usually only get a slap on the wrist. Oh that is right they write the laws so no shocker there for lack of accountability to the taxpayers.

    Just another fine day in the corrupt town of Parsippany. I read yesterday that Parsippany is lagging on home appreciation projections this year which makes me wonder if it is just time to take the hit and sell. Sure I will lose 6-7 percent now in fees but watching property values drop due to a rotten to the core, corrupt bunch of wannabe leaders who have done nothing to address qulaity of life, quality of schools and solid business growth (not on the backs of existing taxpayers is discouraging at best). The Mayor and town council clearly do not have the majority of the taxpayers as their primary concern which leads me to believe there is a lot of money changing hands in the good old boy system of Parsippany. FOr my neighbors that are stuck here due to being underwater, unable to take the short term hit or family obligations -- I truly feel sorry for you as the taxpayers of this community are very fragmented in dealing with what I would consider a true community crisis.

    Parsippany is led by the most corrupt -- I don't know if it is because of the diverse population not voting or keeping up on politics or just the corrupt to the core system here but good taxpayers continue to leave and put their homes up for sale as these crooked worthless pieces of garbage run this town into the ground. About time us taxpayers did our job and held these clowns accountable and vote them out and prosecute the corrupt bunch.

    It is no wonder there is very little getting done in this town in terms of progress as we are inundated with scandal, corruption, payoffs and personal favors. Makes you wonder who is in the driver's seat providing leadership in this town to improve the quality of life, control taxes, promote good business and help improve home prices. Guess it is true that we like to promote people to their highest level of incompetence and our mayor is one of the most incompetent and unqualified people that I have ever come across.

    Valori loses all credibility for endorsing the mayor in this manner. If he was a policer officer for this town for 13 years I am certain he had a clue how much integrity our mayor really has. Just because you have been in the reserves and spent 13 years as a town cop doesn't make you credible. In fact you almost certainly lose credibility for being a committee chairman in this corrupt town. About time to clean house and get rid of the corruption once and for all and vote people in that truly have the best intentions of Parsippany so we can hopefully honor that Parsippany is a Great Place to Be instead of a Great Place to Leave.
