Subject: Steve Waszen: Hey Larry, I read an email from the NO DUMP group today and it seems that Waszen wasn’t even scheduled for another court hearing until six months from now. I thought that there were some issues about him not replanting and not removing the fence that the court had to address. Apparently, the October 3rd non-compliance hearing was only scheduled today, after Mary Hunt approached the court to ask whether or not Waszen paid the first installment of his fine.

RESPONSE As you no doubt know, GadFly had reported based on listening to the tape of the Waszen Court proceedings in August, that the $184,000 fine had a payment plan of $10,000/ month and the first payment would be due on September 15th. Also that Waszen would be in Court days later as the result of Mullica’s Code Enforcement Official at the end of the August Court hearing raising the issue of summons he had signed relating to the clearing of the property illegally ... (one cannot clear more than 1500 square feet of property without Pinelands approval). The Pinelands had ordered that the property that had to be replanted and there had been no action on that issue. Thus the Judge set September 19th as the date for steve THE SCOFFLAW waszen to return to Court on that issue. That fact is verified by the tape of that Court session and the written notes denoting where various aspects of the day’s Court proceedings start on the tape.

Some how, the matter fell through the system and no notice went out and thus the matter was not on the Court Docket/agenda on Tuesday September 19th. Of course Mullica’s Republican solicitor ($$$ tim THE GIRLY MAN SHYSTER maguire $$$ who was in Court when the 19th date got set, just allowed either through incompetence or collusion with the prosecutor Jim Curcio the matter to slip through the cracks, again. One has to wonder given the record over and over again how one person can be this incompetent...or is that two people whose allegaince seems to be more to the County Republcian machine than to Mullica who they are collecting a check from. Remember the last time Waszen was in Court for illegal dumping for the umteenth time, this after the $184,000 fine, and he had dumped illegally on the property, the two County connected Republicans who represent Mullica as Solicitor and Prosecutor, sold us out by agreeing to no additional fines being assessed. HUH? Oh, and this prompted the outrage of Mr. St Amour and his “vaseline” remark ...that seems a gentlemanly way of explaining what Republicans are doing to our town at every turn.

A note of clarification; GadFly had reported that Janet Forman was in Court on September 19th, it seems she was in Town Hall on other business. GadFly sincerely regrets that the informatin given was not fully correct.
