looks like many of the secrets these guys thought they bought silence for are leaking out. at this point if the prosecutor fails to act i would think the state should come down and set up a special investigations unit in wildwood.

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 10:39pm

Here are some solutions.....

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 3:46pm (Writer Has Issues with Davenport’s Letter)

demarzo solutions don't include, spending money that you don't have (Wreck Center, Doo Flop just to name a few) hire friends and family (Breuss' brother his son as a temp at the FD), no bid contracts and box seats at the Eagles games (thanks rem and Ver), does ET enjoy the rent that he gets from the rent paid by rem&vert for the building they rent (oh yea that his dads) Doing side work in town with out permits, purchasing fire equipment from a captain of the FD (hey Chris D. you been in the PO's office three time now) when are they going to keep ya. Promoting more than a half dozen PD brass 30 days before the election. WD RA loves that new side walk that the tax payers paid for. Can I put a basket ball court in front of my house. WD why don't you lend every tax payer $5000 grand we will vote for you two. If I give you Flyers Tickets will you promote me too? Bring shame upon the city with rumors of an affair, cursing at kids, covering up for his son ETIII and Cryin Ryan' actions, (the anger management twins). Give ways to Joey M. who has feed ET and WD for years, (***) Fire trucks and fancy gifts, when does it end. How about the 45% raise he gave PW, oh ET who is going to pay that???? OH YEA WE WILL... I sure demarzo's plan does not include those things. One more thing thing Google Video the 09/26/07 minutes 33 minuets into the video, nice way to treat the guy paying your paycheck.

I heard demarzo said you can't spend what you don't have that sounds like a start. I say support the recall and if demarzo fails to make progress WE throw him out too.

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 10:37pm

Now that we lost the 5 million how are we going to pay for this post??

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 4:19pm (Wildwood Mayor Calls Letter Writers 'Liars')

RECALL DEMARZO NOW ,____HE NEEDS A PAY RAISE,

IF WE DO IT AFTER JANUARY 1st THEN HE GET AN ADDITIONAL 4% FROM HIS POLICE CONTRACT. THAT WILL PUT HIM IN THE LOW $80's FOR A BASE SALARY. PERHAPS HE COULD ABUSE A PRISONER OR GIVE SOME GIFTS TO A COMMISSIONER TO COMMISSIONER, THAT WOULD PUT HIM A $90 FOR A LIEUTENANT AND OVER $100 FOR A CAPTAIN, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WE WOULD PAY FOR A FULL TIME CHIEF WHEN THE PAR TIME ON THAT WORKS A TWO HOUR DAY MAKES $135 BASE A YEAR>>> SOME ONE SAID WE EVEN HAVE A SECOND CAPTAIN AT THE SAME PRICE, (HEY MAN) WHAT DOES THAT GUY EVEN DO. HE DID GET DIRECT DEPOSIT SO HE DID NOT HAVE TO COME IN ON FRIDAYS.

TAX-UM TROIANO & WD YOUR THE BEST FRIEND A CITY EMPLOYEE EVERY HAS AND A TAXPAYERS WORST NIGHTMARE...

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 6:30pm

i havn't heard it from gary, but i'm sure some solutions would be not hiring dozens of family and friends, and not buying others brand new city vehicles to buy their silence when they get supoenaed. he probably would not spend millions a year on remington and vernick without getting competitive bids. and i'm sure he would do the right thing and help to convict davenport and troiano!

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 11:39am

WHAT ARE GARY'S SOLUTIONS THEN?????????????? DOES ANYBODY KNOW??????????????? I KNOW!!!!!!!!! HE DOESNT HAVE ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 1:35am

Re: 11/29/08 11:36 p.m. James Troiano writes "check the county records my friend. The truth doesn't hurt me, as I live my life in truth." He says he is a registered voter and pays taxes here and lived in the town 52 years. First of all, I don't believe you've lived in the town 52 years. You voted from your Mommy and Daddy's house at *** W. Leaming Ave. on 5/8/07 when your brother became Mayor. So you probably don't pay the taxes if you're living with your parents. And since you're so truthful, if you were living with your parents during this election you would then be aware that your niece Melissa and nephew Gary voted in this election from 130 W. Leaming Ave. which is across the street from you , your parents, and your brother Mayor Troiano who resides at *** W. Leaming Ave. Since you wrote "as I live my life in truth", you surely would report voter fraud if you were aware of it; right? Especially if you thought your niece and nephew really didn't live across the street? And you're aware voter fraud is a crme? And how about Commissioner Davenport's daughter Jennifer who voted from her parents home at *** W. Pine Ave. on 5/8/07 where she hadn't lived in maybe 5 years and was a lawyer working in Newark, New Jersey for years before this election. I'm sure your family is familiar with the Davenports. I'm sorry to say you sound as truthful to me as your brother has proven to be..

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 7:11pm

COMMISSIONER DEMARZO HAS NO WITCH HUNT, HE HAS SOLUTIONS, BUT WHEN YOUR OUT VOTED BY THE GOOD OLE BOYS ET,AND DAVEN YOU LOSE, WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND, THE DIRECTION OF THE MAYOR IS LOST, HE HAS NO PLAN, OH THAT'S RIGHT HIS PLAN TROIANO IS " TAX AND SPEND" HIT THE TAXPAYERS RIGHT IN THE POCKET, ITS OUTRAGEOUS.

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 5:18pm

James Troiano says he will "respect" us if we leave our name on the post. Yet he calls Davenport a schmuck and a small man. Does that sound like respect. James has nothing to fear from the current government, yet if we speak the fire department is "inspecting" us the next week. Maybe it will be some other code enforcement, but the mayor uses these tactics to quiet the voting public. Forgive us for not signing our names, but protecting our family's finances is not cowardly. This intimdation is childish, grow up high school is over.

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 4:58pm

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 4% CAP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED THIS YEAR. i CAN'T BELEIVE THAT AN EXCEPTION COULD BE APPROVED, GIVEN THE MANY TAX HIKES OF PREVIOUS YEARS. DOES MR. TROIANO UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T SELL CONTAMINATED LAND AND THAT HIS DREAN OF SKYSCRAPERS ON THE OCEAN CAN NEVER COME TRUE. WE MUST EITHER CONSOIDATE WITH OUR NEIGHBORING MUNICIPALITIES OR CUT DEEPLY INTO EXISTING PERSONNEL. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE. fAILURE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY WILL ONLY DEMONSTRATE THAT MR. TROIANO IS IN OVER HIS HEAD AND MUST BE REMOVED. TO ACT MAY SAVE HIS JOB. THE CHOICE IS HIS.

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 3:26pm

DEMARZO'S WITCH HUNT IS NOT HELPING OUR CITY. CAN GARY CANT COME UP WITH ANY SOLUTIONS AT ALL, BESIDES TRYING TO RECALL THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO RUN A CITY!!!!!! DEMARZO WOULDNT KNOW WHERE TO START. HE REALLY IS PATHETIC. THIS IS A BIG GAME TO HIM AND ITS OBVIOUS. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF AND ITS SCARY THAT PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING HIM. NOBODY IS HAPPY ABOUT PAYING TAXES AND GARY ISNT TRYING TO HELP THE SITUATION, HE IS ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE!!!!!!!!! FELLOW TAXES PAYERS, PLEASE FOCUS ON THE FACTS AND NOT THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS THAT ARE FOREVER POURING OUT OF THE ENVIOUS DEMARZO!!!!!!

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 9:53am

I LIVED IN WILDWOOD FOR ONLY A SHORT 5 YEARS. I OWN PROPERTY IN CAPE MAY COUNTY, BUT ONLY RENTED IN WILDWOOD. THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO VOTE THERE, I THINK I HAD TURNED AND GOT ONE FOOT OUT OF MY CAR BEFORE I WAS BOMBARDED BY PEOPLE REQUESTING MY VOTE FOR THE SHADY GUYS RUNNING WILDWOOD NOW. I WISH I HAD STILL BEEN THERE TO VOTE FOR DEMARZO. HE SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY DOWN TO EARTH AND HONEST GUY THAT CAN SPEAK TRULY FOR THE PEOPLE OF WILDWOOD. I HAVE A VERY GOOD SENSE, SORT OF A 6TH SENSE ABOUT PEOPLE, AND ET , WELL, IT'S NOT GOOD. I MISS THE OLD TOWN, THE WAY IT WAS AND WHAT IT WILL NEVER BE AGAIN. ALL IN THE NAME OF GREED.

Wed, 11/26/2008 - 6:31pm (Wildwood Mayor Calls Letter Writers 'Liars')

BACK BAY DEAL DEAD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hats off to you KATHY.... Daven*** and ***aino have been exposed for what they are small town men with small ideas and big dreams with someone else's money. Secrete meeting, backroom deals, egos the size of cruise ships. Both men are not self made, ET is a shadow of his dad, living in dad's house with a company that was given to him by his father that he has destroyed, WD, took everything he could from the City for 25 plus years living through his wife's money. Trying to be like his brother, a real leader. WD no matter how many sporting tickets you take or how many personal loans you give to your PD, LT you will never be respected by this community. Wreck Centers, Doo Flops and the Back Bay give away in the middle of the night I sure as soon as that guy gets a whiff of your snake oil he be packing up too. Constant bad moves all on the backs of the taxpayer, conflicts and family hires, did ET think we didn't know his second son Ryan was put on as a temp in the FD. We have had enough. We have had enough of you broadcasting your lies on that radio show, where the host is about to get booted from NW Rec for theft. Enough of the Broadway show that you and your puppet have been putting on for the last 9 years. I suggest you both stop at acme and pick up some boxes so you can clean out your offices.

How many more times do we have to hear " I pay taxes too", well we don't get $20,000 a year plus a $15,000 medical package.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 9:57pm

Jimmy,

Perhaps you should take a walk throughout town DeMarzo is just one of many that can' t stand your brother. Or is your whole family to blind to see what is right in front of them. The mayors term is coming to an end very soon. It will be a Christmas present to the whole island.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 9:26pm

SUGGESTION TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION:
Let's take a look at the status of Wildwood's financing and where the monies that the taxpayers have paid were spent since ET has been Mayor. Along with that the taxpayers of this city are intitled to explanations of expeditures. Let's also see each fiscal year budget plan and outcome for years in question. Change the hiring issues in City Hall and downsize staffing as it is unnecessary in all but the police and fire depts.Then maybe the citizens will start to believe that there is nothing to hide.

QUESTION:
What gives any one person or two people the right to make all the decisions for what is best for this city. It appears that it is being run like a company. It is a city, you don't own it. What it appears that you have forgotten is you WORK for ALL taxpayers. And ALL taxpayers should have a say in what is done here, whether it be construction, destruction, purchasing and/or selling within our city. Trying to network with ALL the taxpayers and feeding off ALL the citizens, as they too have a vested interest in this city I'm sure would be greatly respected and assist you in making headway to a more positive outcome.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
All this NEGATIVITY that is being viewed and seeing the behaviors is a real turn off to anyone living here as well as anyone viewing it. No one should blame that it is videoed as the culprit of bad press for Wildwood Mayor etc.-----all you have to do is sit in on the meetings and well, it speaks for itself. EMBARASSING to say the least and well noted in newpapers all around. This cannot be blamed on the commentors of articles as it is the only place to start to have people finally listen to what is being done here. And the taxpayers are smart enough to not believe it all but know that there is alot of QUESTIONABLES that need to be clarified for them. It is the right of the taxpayers to be able to have this knowledge.

Let's get rid of the penis pride and get on with what is important!! .......................................

WHICH IS THE CITY OF WILDWOOD AND THE TAXPAYERS/CITIZENS IN IT!!

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 7:54pm

Jimmy,
2-1,2-1,2-1,2-1,...

Every vote is 2-1 yet you want to blame Demarzo. You say that Wildwoods problems go back decades. They you want to blame Carter and Clinton?

I don't get it. Bring on the recall.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 6:03pm

To: Sun, 11/30/2008 - 3:24pm, why dont you leave your name when you post??? Oh thats right we all already know that it is Gary DeMarzo doing so. All of the responses in reference to Troiano and Davenport are only done by Demarzo or his lil cronies. Thats why none of them leave their name.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 6:02pm

WHY ARE OUR TAXES IN WILDWOOD GOING UP EVERY YEAR, I ASK THAT QUESTION TO JAMES.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 5:48pm

JTroiano
Do you pay property taxes in Wildwood?

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 4:43pm

JAMES HOW BOUT BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD? SO YOU DID NOT HAVE 52 YEARS IN THIS TOWN.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 4:37pm

James Troiano................you did not live here in Wildwood for 52 years........maybe you kept your registration to vote here is what you mean.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 4:12pm

stick a fork in Tax-aholic Ernie........he's done........the man is a walking disaster to OUR TOWN...and take his charge card AWAY from him...He has put the taxpayers in DEEP DEBT for years to come...No developer in his right mind will do business with him now that the BACK BAY SCAM has been exposed...Hello section 8er's.......we need you to pay our HUGE TAXES ......'cause no one will BUY our homes.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 3:24pm

Hey Jimbo as you enjoy your ET cool aid chew on this great posts from the past and sing a few of these songs with great lyrics..

SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY, SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY..... John Mayer &
VIVA LA VIDA by Cold Play (I sweep the streets, I once used to own)

POSTED Thu, 11/06/2008 - 7:06am (Unhappy Citizens Mount Wildwood Recall Campaign)

Look who is taking now and all he has to say is “let me play the BLAME GAME”
Presently, Commissioner William Davenport oversees the Construction Office. This office services all of the Wildwoods, yet our MAYOR and DAVENPORT contracted that if the construction office had any short falls, Wildwood alone would cover them. A shortfall in the Construction Office budget was covered by a $164,100 (for six months) transfer from the city budget. That means next year the Tax payer is looking to support the Construction Office with more than $325,000 in 09 that’s approx. (2 cents). City Clerk Chris Wood says, "The office is designed to be self-sufficient." Was this a contract for the good of the taxpayers or for the good of the mayor's and Davenports friends? This is just another example of how Troiano and Davenport are failing our town and the taxpayers.
More than a half dozen Police Promotions 30 Days before an election,WD took gifts from subordinates you destroyed the moral and the legacy of the Police Department. You have promoted the corrupt and inept. You’re a disgrace . I know your brother Sir, and you sir are NO Chief Robert Davenport.
You and your puppet master Troiano have full control of the Budget and the City, if Demarzo is a NO FACTOR then “what is the problem” It should be success after success. The truth is Demarzo is allowing us to make our own decision and the fact is that the City is looking at another 25 Cent TAX HIKE in 09 and your criticize him. You have a problem with an elected official telling the public information about our government.
You showed us NOTHING except failure and your and Troiano’s FAILURES have cost us MILLIONS over his NINE YEARS in office. You certainly took the credit for market conditions when times were good. Remember “Wildwood Update” or perhaps you missed it on the TV while it was torturing the rest of us. But times are tough and the cry is “hey is not my fault, is Demarzo”
You have taken everything you could over the past 25 years from this city, and you should have been well rested for this job since you were sleeping at the FD for that time. Now with your lies exposed it’s a flurry of Press releases and blame. It is too little too late. Fool me once Shame on you Fool me twice Shame on me.
I cannot sign the recall quick enough, I say “throw the bums out”

YOUR BROTHER DOES NOT NEED ANY HELP TO LOOK BAD, HE DOES A GREAT JOB BY HIM SELF...

Here is another post for your review JIMBO ( or are you as a big liar as your brother)

Fri, 10/24/2008 - 1:59pm (Davenport Responds to Criticisms)

Here is a big LIE... and remember, if you lie once what makes anything else you post believable?

"There are 21, yes count them folks, 21 individual lawsuits currently in effect from Gary DeMarzo to the city of Wildwood spanning several years."

Will you post the docket numbers? Will you list the suits, you can't and do you know WHY??? Because your a liar. You insult the posters by calling them "stupid" just what Wildwood needs another bully with a big fat mouth full of false information.

I wounder where Troiano, Breuss and Davenport came up with the idea to press a conflict suit against DeMarzo.... UMMMMM KARAVAN perhaps the guy who made over $350,000 dollars in billable hours in 07'.

I heard Breuss say that she was happy that she was out of politics, She not the only one that is happy, the entire community is clicking their heals.

Get your nose out of that wall paper glue and give use facts not Troiano thanksgiving blubbering, after that is how he got is nick name ERNIE ONIONS. Maybe he can by another friend like Burgess with $25,000 in tax payer money or perhaps ETIII can do the river dance on someone else's face, he didn't need that eye, but he has his now, ALL THANKS TO ET,JR.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 12:51pm

Everyone's missing the elephant in the room - this is what you get when you pollute indiscriminately. NJDEP should be forcing the cleanup of a KNOWN contaminated area BEFORE any development should take place. We've seen this movie before and the residents/taxpayers are left holding the stink bag. Same thing is happening to the Delaware Bay. Lobiondo allows it, even passes legislation, and he gets re-elected. Polluters keep dumping until it snowballs into the same situation in Wildwood and everyone loses. NJ and toxic dumpsites = perfect together.

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 9:37am

The cost margin is far more then expected to clean up the dump site ,costing 10.5 Million or more just to clean it up makes no sense. The cost is to high and there would be no profit in building homes there,further more even if homes where to built the likely hood of selling them is null as the tax on them would be to high. The city's statement saying land clear to develop is false. No Bank or Lending Co. would risk dumping money in to it ,it would be like dumping in to the toilet. With the Mayor seeking QUICK FIX'S for budget this will not happen and we face a .40 to 50 cents tax hike in 2009 plus it could be more do to state cuts maybe as high as .70 cent increase . This will result in more walkaway owners and more boarded up buildings. The future of Wildwood is grim Wildwood is the talk of the Builders and Developers saying investing there is a high risk . Just one thing to remember MAYOR YOU TURNED WILDWOOD INTO A DEAD ZONE. Your lies and dictator ship goverment are true and spread through the internet and investors like wild fire SAYING STAY OUT OF WILDWOOD. The only thing that will turn Wildwood around is if you RESIGN or get RECALLED

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 8:53am

If the land deal is to be re negotiated then this is the opportunity for Commissioner DeMarzo to get involved and see the details. If he chooses not to get involved then he cannot cry foul and act like a baby about it at a public meeting in front of a camera. This is what he has done in the past isn't it?

Sun, 11/30/2008 - 6:02am

The truth is we have many new condo's and buildings but a good 80%of them are emepty and are either in fourclouser or bankruptcy .Some have been fourcloused on 2 or 3 times and no one will buy them as per the Tax Rate is so high ,and the City is faceing more tax hikes in the future . Mayor Troiano seems to do nothing to cut back and bring are tax rate down the only thing he does is lie like he did to the back bay developer . Further more the high rise projects are in Bankruptcy and there are no investors looking to come into a city that is going backwards . No elected person should have personel interst in projects like he seems to do.The full truth is more people will walk away from there homes next year when we get the largest TAX HIKE in history.

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 11:36pm

Yes, I am a registered voter, and I pay taxes as would anyone who lives here. Where is a fact to prove otherwise on your part? I guess 52 years in this town proves nothing to all the years I voted since 18 as a registered voter. Check the county records my friend. The truth doesn't hurt me, as I live my life in truth, and separate myself from those who file blatant lies without the courage of signing their names. The reason I commented in a way that may construed as anger, of which I am not guilty of when I draft my letters, was due to the often nature of a mean spirited small group of Demarzo people who personally do not like Ernie. Now nothing due to a family relation by any means, do I say I haven't seen a mayor in decades who seriously cared about this town that was so unappreciated for his honest willingness to do good. This town has been in the dumps for as many years as I can remember. I've heard stories from people outside of this area that have called Wildwood a slum far far before Ernie came into office. None of what is happening is due to the actions of Bill or Ernie. It is an accumulation of the way this town was run for decades. And when the building boom came to this town, everyone was fast to jump on the train. Who wouldn't have? This town needed to be cleaned up. Then you have the administrations of Carter and Clinton with their BS community reinvestment act, and groups like ACORN promoted by Obama, that have given us the recession and downward path we are now living in. DEMOCRATS did this to every one of us. DEMOCRATS are the ones in the lead positions in NJ that are pushing the section 8 druggies and illegals into this town, and every corner of NJ. You wanna change things? Then vote out Corzine and Menendez, the illegal loving, sanctuary state promoting losers. It's too late to get rid of one of the bad seeds, as they re-elected Lautenberg back into office who was one of these such persons. People don't do anything to change their destinies. The good old DEMOCRATIC voters in the slums of the major cities keep voting them in to keep their welfare checks coming. And there is why you have the drugs, crime and malcontent living in this city. The roads of NJ avenue and Park Blvd. are county roads, NOT city. It is not Ernie who falls behind in this action. Lay the blame where it's necessary and call the county to complain. And those who opposed the wonderful recreation center are in my eyes very sad people, as a majority of the funds brought forth in creating this vital entity were donated due to an ever greater need for a new center. When it rains tomorrow, I guess Ernie will be to blame as well. Every one talks about fiscal responsibility, yet they praise one person in our local government who has done NOTHING to save the taxpayers of Wildwood a penny in his department. If anything, the excessive and abusive nature of one that suffers with Napoleon complex is nothing short of splintering. The key to a governing body, is cooperation. But that won't happen, as this 5 foot nothing has one goal in this town. And that is to make Ernie look bad whenever he sees it fit. You want a recall? Recall the arrogant self centered little dweeb that this small group sees fit as their leader. He and his loyal band of followers in my eyes, topples the scales of being pathetic on a grand scale. Who cares for the city, and who cares for their own selfish interest? Whi is costing the taxpayers tons of money? Who has 21 law suits against the city of Wildwood and individuals.Who is costing the taxpayers more and more money by his rat calling to the prosecuters office on an extremely consistent basis? It is clear to anyone with any form of intelligence that sees how this schmuck acts behind the doors, and how he is acting in the meetings, Can you not see the anger and frustration through the video of these meetings? Do you see how many people think this small man is looked upon as nothing but a dividing factor? He WILL NOT talk off camera to his fellow commissioner or mayor. He has an agenda of smearing tactics that get him the false publcity that his thrives on without facts. You all have ben duped. I hope the smart ones can see through his ploy. If not, then you are one of the sheep that he needs to have in his brain washed widdle group.

SIGNED ONCE AGAIN,

James Troiano~

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 10:32pm

This should not be a suprise to anyone. Again back room deals. I was told six months ago about this. They still tried to fleese someone else. Davenport and Troiano you guys are BAD-BAD=BAD. The state should lock them up.

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 8:17pm

Surely it can be appreciated that you would want to speak up for your family member. However, are you a registered voter here in Wildwood? Do you pay taxes here? What was said so wrong in the comments that warrants you to speak so unfavorable about commentors? Truth hurts I guess!

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 7:53pm

Your anger towards the commentors is obviously pretty well understood as Ernie and others are in a pretty tough situation right now with alot of investigation being done.But let this be understood, we are not what is scraped off the bottom of your shoes James Troiano. However, your description of the commentors is how the REGULAR taxpayers have been treated by the City Government of Wildwood.......AND an FYI it is more like we will be watching the names being SCRAPED OFF THE DOORS IN CITY HALL VERY, VERY SOON. And that will be the day when Wildwood will begin anew and start moving forward. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 4:31pm

Jimbo-
Some of have to make a living here. I don't trust this administration. I can't chance retaliation. I think the true coward is the person that hides behind the city and uses government as a weapon against their own community.

As for facts, come look at my tax bill. It continues to rise and rise while there are thousands of new dwellings in town.

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 1:20pm

What don't some of you people who posted on this article leave your names, instead of being anonymous cowards? If and only then, will I have any respect for those who love to run their mouths without fear of rebuttal based on FACTS. I find that while many have a constitutional right to their bear their grievances, they are also obligated not to make it personal. And in failing to do so, and the use your hit and run smear tactics, then you are what I scrape off of my feet after walking in a cow pasture. You have a point to make? Then make it and leave your name and be responsible, and not the coward you promote yourselves as. Backdoor deals and all the other BS are unsubstantiated, misleading and utterly false. Get a spine and face who you attack. Pathetic, the bunch of you. You don't even deserve a response from me

James Troiano~

Sat, 11/29/2008 - 8:27am

The only truth is, Wildwood can't afford more expenses. Holding the line may not be enough without making concessions- in addition. Will Ernie appoint his youngest son to the fire department, in lieu of city finances, and try to broker a deal with fire department contracts, which his other son is the head of the fire department union-can you say conflict? It may be a sad day when Ernie tells his son he cannot be hired because the city just can't afford it, or will he just say, screw the taxpayers, and do it anyway. My guess, he will do it anyway, therefore, he should go to jail.

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 7:22pm

Unbelievable ,discussed,sad,disapointed,sorry,

just a few words to express my self,what are they doing to us, such a small,town with big problems, were is our state gov. why isnt anybody helping us , this is a mess,who do we contact to help us , the recall is good , but a lot of people cant sign it ,that live here now , 1 cause they didnt vote or reg. for that year , oh and if you have a business , dont dare sign it , the city will do everythiong in it power to make your life he**

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 6:49pm

COMMISSIONER DEMARZO IS WASTING NO TAXPAYERS MONEY, YOUR MAYOR ERNIE AND BERT, OH DAVENPORT ARE THE ONES WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY, YOUR CITY IS ON THE VERGE OF DOOM AND GLOOM BECAUSE OF THEM.

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 4:09pm

Instead of naming the Wreck Center or the Doo Flop scam after Troiano we should name our TAX BILL after him, that will be his legacy. Nice to see that he gave his son's jobs in the FD though at least they will be able to pay their mortgage. May be the box seats provided by Remington and Vernick to Troiano and Davenport should be sold to pay off the taxes. The best kick in the butt was when he said the Wreck Center that cost approx. 6 million dollars and $30,000 a month to operate with TWO new hires is bringing in $4000 thousand to cover costs. Where was the long winded speech, where was the blame where was the fat mouth full of lies. GOGGLE VIDEO is the best. . WHAT A JOKE, ET and WD are, at least demarzo love or hate him as a verifiable information. Your a hater because he don't play those reindeer games. Tax'um-Troiano strikes again.

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 3:29pm

Quit blaming Ernie. Atleast he is standing up and trying to better the city. Commissioner DEMARZO isnt coming up with any ideas or a way to help bring in money. He is just sitting quit like the little wuss that he is. DEMARZO is wasting OUR money and should be ashamed of himself.

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 1:47pm

I guess this is a lost deal, what's next Ernie OTB parlor??

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 1:32pm

You would have to be a idiot to buy a site that is filled with toxic materials and in a town faceing a future of high tax rates .No smart developer would buy a property that will cost over 10 million to clean up and then cost another 10 million or more to build on it there would be no profit and nop one would buy a home on a toxic waste dump.Mayor your quick fix's are over RESIGN

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 1:27pm

RECALL TROIANO AND DAVENPORT! TAKE THE CITY BACK!

WHO COULDN'T SEE THIS COMING. INSTEAD OF FACING THE TRUTH, COMMISSIONERS TROIANO AND DAVENPORT HOLD BACK DOOR MEETINGS WITH LOU FERRARO AND A "FRIEND" FROM HIS HOME TOWN, AND SUPPRISE.....A DEAL IN PLACE. LAST TIME I NEW, PRIOR TO CLOSING A LAND DEAL, A NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WAS TO BE IN PLACE. THEN AT CLOSING THE BALANCE IS TO BE PAID. (NEITHER OF WHH TOOK PLACE) INSTEAD WHAT WE HAVE IS A VERBAL AGREEMENT OF DOWN PAYMENT MONEY, NO DEPOSIT, NO CLOSING, NO BALANCE TO BE PAID OFF(3 MILLION DOLLARS) , AND THE LANDFILL STILL IN OUR POSSESSION. OH YEAH.....NEXT YEARS TAX INCREASE SOMEWHERE IN THE 40 TO 50 CENTS INCREASE TO PAY WHAT ERNIE SAID HE SAVED US IN TAXES THIS YEAR, THE 15 CENTS FROM THIS YEAR, THE FIVE MILLION DOLLAR HOLE FROM YEARS PAST THE THE INTEREST THAT WE ARE GOING TO PAYFOR THE 3 MILLION DOLLAR LOAN FROM THE LOCAL BANK, TO PAY FOR THE AMMOUNT THAT THE BUYER WAS SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR THE BACK BAY LAND. WHAT A BIG *** ***. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM.........
