Holding Ted Green Accountable in 2018

01/21/18

It has been 236 days since the June Primary, 75 days since the November General Election, and 21 days since the Inauguration of Ted Green as mayor of the city of East Orange, at which he presumably took an oath of office on a Quran (although no one seems to have made a public recording of that event). That is how long these little "gifts" of Ted Green and the Line A Democrats have been unlawfully clinging to our trees, public lamp posts, and traffic light posts in violation of Code § 238-4 of the city of East Orange.

City-wide Infestation of 'Rats

Before you whine and cry that the Democrats of Line A made feeble and half-fast attempts to remove portions of the signs, the question becomes how long are they going to keep from finishing the job? For example, Dwight Saunders (former code enforcer and property maintenance director under Lester Taylor) ran for mayor of East Orange in 2001, and the sticker he left behind on Evergreen place has been there for 17 years, and remains there to this day. Talk about half-fast work!

I took a total of 25 photos of 25 Code 238-4 violations and there were even more that I never got to photograph. The point is, Ted Green has shown that he believes he is above the laws that he and the council make for others. But notice that when they break this code, the laws are soon being broken by others. Now all kinds of businesses are sticking advertisements on our city lamp posts, traffic posts and even on our city trees. If the mayor and city council can get away with it, so can they. This is just the beginning of the breakdown in law and order in East Orange. Declaring the city to be a "Sanctuary City," open to illegal immigrants without limit, in defiance of the President's executive orders and without getting approval from the voters and taxpayers of East Orange is another example. Ted Green's biography published on the city Web site contains lies about at least one of his college degrees. How can we trust him to carry out his oath of office, if in fact, he made one?

Uniform Crime Report for 2016

Click here for complete 2016 report for NJ

In his December 2016 Message to East Orange Residents, the Lester Taylor, the previous mayor, stated that the crime rate has "decreased by 21% this year." The above chart gives the lie to that statement, showing that crime in East Orange has INCREASED by at least 4.2%.

Recently (May, 2017) Ted Green claimed that: "Over the last several years, crime has steadily decreased in East Orange.  The overall rate has fallen more than 70 percent over the last several years and is now in line with the national average." No statistics back up that claim, which makes it a deception for the ignorant... in other words, a lie. Here is the truth:

Promises, Promises from Ted Green

EO Mayoral Hopeful Ted Green Unveils Plan to Improve Housing in East Orange
By TAPINTO EAST ORANGE/ORANGE STAFF
May 18, 2017 at 10:30 PM

"Green indicated that the last Master Plan for East Orange, included a number of objective
(sic) that hold true for today and are included in his strategic plan, including:

· Change the public image of East Orange through rehabilitation and development of
new homes throughout the neighborhoods.

· Strengthen and recapture single-family neighborhoods

· Better promote the City’s housing initiatives, such as the homebuyers’ workshop and
grants, etc.

· Use transportation and access to primary business centers including Newark and New
York

· Consider municipal auctions to sell dilapidated apartments.

· Focus on new housing development for young professionals, seniors, and artists

· Anchor and preserve the character of single family neighborhoods."

*..........................*..........................*..........................*..........................*

You should be able to find this fictional "Last Master Plan" on-line so you can see if Ted Green is telling the truth. Oh, here it is:

The Last Master Plan was supposedly made in 2006 , the same year Ted Green was first sworn into office to represent the 3rd Ward. It looks like this: http://www.eastorange-nj.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/164

Are you impressed by a lot of blank pages?

There must be more... yes, here is a propaganda piece telling how wonderful the 2006 Master Plan is:
http://www.eastorange-nj.org/departments/Planning/PEOPpdfs/PEOP%20Newsletter.pdf

So now it is eleven years later and the same Master Plan that Ted Green and the other wastrals who occupy the elected offices of city council were supposed to be enacting. They must have been sitting on their hands all this time because East Orange doesn't look anything like that, does it? Now they want to get re-elected and promise to do the same things they were supposed to be doing since 2006.

Here is Ted Green's "Strategy" to address housing if elected mayor.

1. Use homeownership opportunities to retain and increase the Area Median Income and
net worth of current residents while attracting new residents.

2. Restore abandoned properties to productive use and place back on the tax role.

3. Work with the new Governor to be sworn in January 2018 and the NJ Economic
Development Authority to provide tax credits to developers to incentivize investment in
housing development and rehabilitation.

4. Replicate the "town center" models created around train stations like in Montclair,
Bloomfield, South Orange, and Orange.

5. Work with the State to create programs through the NJ Housing Mortgage Finance
Agency and other State agencies to obtain resources for existing homeowners for property
facade updates, upkeep, and maintenance.

6. Meet with absentee landlords and develop an action plan for improvements for
buildings under code or operating with substandard living conditions.

Forget that he should have already been doing these things as a council member for eleven years and council chairman for the past two years. Now we are supposed to believe that he will suddenly start working on these same initiatives and goals IF we elect him mayor. Remember how it was in 2015? Here's a reminder. This was supposed to be going on in 2015-2016 and we are still waiting for real results of all this. Why are we still getting the same promises from the same people who were supposed to have all this accomplished by now?
