Dan -
Thanks for reminding everyone of these facts. And they are facts, which are backed up by transcripts from the meeting where Loffredo made these comments. I have the tapes if anyone wants to listen to them.
Also, I played the tape on the show that covered this issue. Anyone interested can check the archives on RestoreRadio.com.
Thanks again, Dan.
Maureen

"Loffredo is savvy and knowledgeable, and he understands the need for both patience and for the long view. Mellina, though a lightning rod for much of the anti-redevelopment criticism, has been a tireless worker and understands better than most that the city's only hope for building a better life for everyone in the community is to expand the ratable base."
Loffredo is obviously savvy enough to know which side his bread is buttered on. The APP is a joke. They repeatedly refused to print my response to Loffredo's public reversal on the Triangle sale and his lip-syncing for Al Faiella, Asbury Partners' attorney. The Coaster also refused to print it. The other day in NYC, Charlie Rangel apparently reversed himself on the West Side Jets stadium. Every local paper took him to task for it. I guess things in NJ are different and the papers let elected officals betray their constituients. Remember on May 10th that Loffredo tried to sell you a bill of goods. On Dec 15 he stated that the values in both appraisals for the Triangle were too low in his professional opinion. He brought up none of the "facts" that he one week later tried to convince you really meant we were getting $33 million for the Triangle. Contrary to his later advertisement for Asbury Partners, he either was "not up on the facts" when the ordinace was discussed, or he chose to purposefully withold them from the public. In the end, his and Faiella's facts are hogwash, they have nothing to do with the price we are supposed to get for the Triangle. Remember on May 10th, this is the last real estate asset we have left to sell or give away to Asbury Partners. Its worth several millions of dollars, not the $400,000 Loffredo and cohorts are ready to give it away for, and certainly not the $175,000 Asbury Partners wants to steal it for. Why is this issue so important, because it reflects how the majority voting block on the council has handled everything with Asbury Partners.
