ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the Jersey consolidation idea?
ReplyDelete"NEW JERSEY ROCKS"
ReplyDeleteBUT THE PAPERS SUCK
ROCK ON JERSEY--AC
ReplyDeleteAnyone know when Gannett is going to do some cost reductions of staff in the Courierpost advertising and classified department? Far too many people for the business comoing out of there and overload of managers who do little
ReplyDeleteWhen is someone going to release all the details they've uncovered about the building problems? I want to see the muck-rakers in action!
ReplyDelete11:59 am: The building is old, fresh air doesn't circulate in (like every other closed office building) and people dump shit where they shouldn't. Like very other office building in the US.
ReplyDeleteAnyone with hard evidence of anything illegal (like photos) is encouraged to provide that evidence to the relevant law enforcement authorities.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
Anon 12:46:
ReplyDeleteI just thought the muckrakers would have blown the lid off this one by now. You know, public calling and all that. Or is that only when the muckrakers' asses aren't on the line?
I thought this building thing was over why bring it up again.So why are you using such hard language 12.46?
ReplyDelete1:02 pm: Blown the lid off what, precisely? That a 20-something year-old building, with windows that don't open, doesn't properly recirculate fresh air? Gee, there's a scoop.
ReplyDeleteOr that illiterate blue collar workers sometimes dump shit down drains that they're not supposed to, and don't otherwise properly dispose of toxins? Gee, alert the Pulitzer committee.
Hey, while we're at it, let's do a big expose on the fact that people don't always recycle paper! Wooo!
2.32 I find your post just a little frighting.I mean were is your regard for the workers inside.I work inside and happen to care for myself and others.Why are you so harsh.And you make it sound that you just don't care for blue collars.
ReplyDelete2:30 and 3:55: I care deeply. I'm just tired of, first, the constant reiteration of the problem, when many people here made suggestions as to what to do, and second, the implication that the reporters at the APP (which, I assume, is the building you're talking about) aren't doing their jobs because they're not "blowing the lid off" this.
ReplyDeleteJust what do you expect the reporters to do? What evidence do they have that anything actually happened? The bleatings of a person who was laid off, and who at least one other person has called a fraud?
And, if there is in fact this conspiracy afoot, do you expect the story would ever see daylight?
There are enough people with power in Monmouth County and in the state who hate the APP who would jump on any damning evidence in a nanosecond. Bring the pics to that Bennett guy, who still has a burr in his ass about stories done about him that led him to be dumped from the legislature. He'd love the payback.
But continually coming back here and implying that the reporters or whoever aren't doing their jobs because they haven't "blown the lid off" this "scandal" is non-productive. With the layoffs/buyouts and ship-jumpers, everybody has more on their plates, just to do their jobs. They don't need the added pressure of an imaginary problem.
From 3.55 I remember what some of the problems were.I don't think you should shrug them off so fast.I do agree with you however that there is nothing that our reporters can do.They would risk their jobs.But still it scares me and my coworkers.
ReplyDeleteDid ex-State House bureau vet TB land on his feet somewhere else? I sincerely hope so but havn't seen his byline anywhere.
