Mr. Spellman, for what its worth, you have my word. But more than that, if the team I support…Read More breaks its promise to bring real reform to LB City Hall & Government, I will be one of the first to criticize them or anyone in office who continues the practice.

Mailers from City Council, if they need to be sent at all, should be from The Council and have a…Read More stock photo of the entire council or no photo. Whether it is this postcard mailer or the glossy about the City's great financial condition put out by the prior admin right before 2 elections' back, it is blatant politicking and we cannot afford it. Legislate the rule and let's move on.
MikeC. May 4, 2013 at 10:24 am
Sadly, the truth seems to be that the job at hand is beyond the capabilities of the people we have…Read More chosen to manage it. I had high hopes that after the last administration imploded we would get a higher minded group, but that does not appear to be the case. I won't call them corrupt, just in over their heads.
mom in town May 15, 2013 at 04:48 pm
Take note that Spring Lake, a well managed and wealthy town, has the lowest cost per mile. A…Read More similar straight run of boardwalk in nearby Asbury Park, poor and corrupt, is $12 million per mile. Trust me the corruption exists.
barry greene April 25, 2013 at 10:44 am
well said Tideline. doesn't seem to be any cognitive or cohesive plan here. just a mad dash to…Read More look good before an election. so many photo ops around town with Jack and Gordie, but little in the way of the plan. at the last few board meetings mandel just brushed questions off at an alarming rate. either he is clueless or actively covering up the real facts.
at the heart of the matter are two things, 1-why is there no real effort to help the homeowners whoare still not home (many) and 2-why was the entire boardwalk ripped down and a $44 million contract given out before fema and the army corps gave the town confirmation of funds and planning? this is alarmingly similar to last year's budget folly when they sent out mailers thanking politicians for the deficit relief when they never had it. will slimfast mandel bring petitions against fema and the army if we come up short? will he refuse to answer those questions? are there funds budgeted for Frans next fall? or Happy Len's next generator? very sad

What are the qualifications needed to be a member of the ZBA? Mr. Hennessy, I do appreciate the…Read More information in your blogs even though I believe you are a bit biased. One thing I have asked you time and time again is what is the answer? How do we go about getting Long Beach back on the right path?
paul.d.spellman April 16, 2013 at 10:48 am
Mr Hennessy, I was asking about the applicants appearing before the ZBA, not those applying to be…Read More anointed member of the board. If a landowner goes before the ZBA are they represented by an attorney or expeditor? Is that representation publicly available? Any chance you can list each of the representatives and their batting average over the years?

I'm not justifying what he did but I think he got sucker punched for not toeing the party line and antagonizing the opposition.
As someone posted not too long ago where is the mob ,like the one in Frankenstein, torches and all, that should be descending on City Hall?

Where's the $30,000? Has she been prosecuted? That was $30,000 not $30 or even $300. A very serious…Read More felony.
Re FOIL why hasn't the lone Republican council member been heard from?? is this a bipartisan coverup?
Why hasn't the media gotten their teeth into this?

Where does the good guy part come in? If that was happening under any circumstance to you or your brother or your son... Would you say... "Hey...that's a stand up guy! He just pokes a little fun at other people's expense? I am not sure I see any correlation to the discussion of his voting preference.

The City of Long Beach need a competent person to be the Comptroller.
Doesnt have to be a CPA but…Read More has to have a business head and can efficently do the job.
Not some political clown who was owed a political favor.
ZAPSON, MANDEL, ADELSON, TORRES you gotta go.
Need to run this CIty by the people who support it and who care about it.
TIME TO TAKE THIS CITY BACK BEFORE IT BECOMES A GHOST TOWN.
The current government of the CIty of Long Beach is only interested in its family and friends.
I thought they were about being up and up with the people of the CIty of Long Beach.
LIKE THE BOARDWALK DEAL $44 MILLION DOLLARS
HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT
JACK AND THE COUNCIL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION?
BET THEY ARE GOING TO BOND BUT THEY HAVENT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION EITHER.
THEY HAVE THE VOTES TO DO IT AND ONCE AGAIN THEY WILL STRAP THE COST ON THE TAXPAYER WHETHER HE OR SHE IS A HOME OWNER OR RENTER OR COOP /CONDO OWNER.
REMEMBER NOVEMBER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
Jessica March 1, 2013 at 10:15 pm
I thought the city has no money yet they hiring for a deputy! That's outrageous! Lies lies lies!!

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING 2012.
HOW MANY NEW HIRES HAS…Read More THIS ADMINISTRATION HIRED ESPECIALLY IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
LACARRUBBA IS NOT EVEN AN ENGINEER WHY THIS DEPARTMENT NEEDED EMPLOYEES TO RUN IT SHOWS HOW INCOMPETENT LACARRUBBA IS.
ALSO IN THE COMPTROLLERS OFFICE WHY NEED A DEPUTY TO THE COMPTROLLER
ONE COMPETENT PEROSN CAN DO THE JOB.
SANDRA CLARSON WASNT A CPA EITHE AND SHE COULDNT EVEN PASS THE ACCOUNTANT EXAM FOR CIVIL SERVICE.
THIS IS THE WORST ADMINSTRATION I HAVE SEEN.
THERE NEEDS TO BE MASSIVE CUTS TO THIS POORLY RUN ADMINSTRATION.
NEED BUSINESS PEOPLE TO RUN THIS CITY NOT POLITICAL PAWNS OUT TO ROB US.
SCHNIRMAN NEEDS TO GO!!!!! ENOUGH WITH YOUR ARROGANT CHILDISH BEHAVIOR! IF YOUR DADDY WASNT SUCH A BIG POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR YOU WOULD BE
NOTHING!
LACARRUBBA NEEDS TO GO.
NOBID NEEDS TO GO.
ROBINSON NEEDS TO GO.
THE WHOLE COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE VOTED OUT!!!!
THEY DONT HAVE THE COMMUNITY'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART!!!!!
AND FOR THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION
THEY WERE NO DIFFERENT
THE BLAME GAMES HAVE GOT TO STOP
START REALIZING WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE AND WORK TO CORRECT THEM NOT CREATE MORE.
IF IT MEANS CUTS THEN MAKE THE CUTS.
IF IT MEANS FREEZING SPENDING THEN DO IT.
IT DOESNT MEAN BORROW BORROW BORROW.....
IT MEANS SPEND WITHIN YOUR MEANS.
LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX TO MAKING THINGS BETTER!!!
HAVENT WE SUFFERED ENOUGH WITH HURRICANE SANDY
HELP THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY WITH THEIR INSURANCE ISSUES AND REBUILDING THEIR HOMES SO THEY CAN GET THEIR LIVES BACK AGAIN!
MORE AND MORE HOMES ARE UP FOR SALE EVERY DAY!!!!!
THIS ISNT WHAT THE PEOPLE OF LONG BEACH WANT TO SEE BUT WITH OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT SPENDING YOU MIGHT JUST TAX THEM OUT OF THE CITY!!!!

Elizabeth, what questions would you like me to answer? I'm still waiting?
Jimmy Hennessy April 3, 2013 at 05:26 pm
John, to your points one by one: 1) you show me the independent audit that shows there was a $10-15…Read More million deficit at the end of fiscal year 2012 and ill retract my statement. The audit was due in October but has not been released yet despite FOIL requests. What are they hiding? 2) holding LB Speaks session around town is nothing new to our city government. In fact it was my administration that began them in 2004 and they continued through the years including the charettes that were conducted around town when we wrote the city's master plan. Mandel is simply following a precedent we set. 3) paying down the debt? This administration came in and there was a total city debt of around $40 million, one of the lowest of any similar municipality in New York State. In short short 15 months this administration borrowed an additional $35 million!! That is outrageous and the interest on that alone erases any savings they claim to have made. 4) the Mandel administrations hiring of the, now, 25 family and friends will cost year to year over $1.4 million each year, that's a fact and you can wiggle your way around that. Bottom line, they made a promise, and they broke it. You are entitled to your opinion but not your facts.

Ok, yes, I believe we do better when the talent comes from within the community but the standards need to be equal to a true vetting. I would love to give Torres the benefit of the doubt with some of the blunders you fact-checked, like: perhaps he's being fed inaccurate info by sources he trusts to have his back? Basically it appears this whole administration is in the deep way over their waders.

Eddie October 19, 2012 at 06:28 am
The saddest part of this misinformation is that it affects every property owner in this City by…Read More reducing the value of his investment in Long Beach.
Is this ignorance or is it intentional block-busting? If you wanted to reduce real estate values to steal homes of city residents, this would be the way to do it.

Leonard Bauman October 9, 2012 at 11:52 am
Am I surprised? No. Schnirman did not send anything other than call his fried Harvey Weisenberg.…Read More Weisenberg's job was to convice the Assembly and Senate to vote for Long Beach. However, when the fact is Long Beach's 2012-13 budget represents a $5 Million increase over last year's budget. So, costs have increased and not decreased. Schnirman is claiming he saved $1.5 Million this year by laying off some city workers amongst other token cost cutting measures.
So, the case for our State lawmakers is this-- The City of Long Beach budget was not cut from 2011-12, but increased $3.5 Million with Schnirman's claimed reductions; so where's the cut from 2011-12 budget. There was no budget cut from 2011-12 where the budget was $82MM, and now is $87MM - $1.5MM= $85.5MM.
Lawmakers can see through Schnirman's fuzzy math that the City of Long Beach did nothing to get its out of control spending addiction in order. For if it did, the 2012-13 budge would be $75 Million, not $85.5 Million, and there would be no need to call Albany for help.

Jimmy Hennessy October 17, 2012 at 03:06 pm
I FOILed the information about the missing beach park money however, I was told they would not give…Read More me any information because there was an "active investigation" going on. I also heard the investigation was being done by Bob Piazza the very man who is in charge of the recreation beach park money. So the person who may be investigating is the same person who may be responsible for overseeing the money. More questions than answers on that one. I have a blog coming out about that issue and a few more "investigations" people should know about in the coming week or so.

The contract for this form was just a few weeks ago and the council members were Torres, Adelson,…Read More Mandel, Fagen, and McLaughlin. I believe the measure was adopted in a 5 to ) vote all yes votes, but I am not 100% sure how McLaughlin voted.
Elizabeth Treston September 29, 2012 at 09:59 am
Could you let us know everyone that was on the Council during these dates? I'm assuming it was a…Read More majority of Democrats but it would be fair to know who voted for what when you "report".
Council members change a lot but I too notice the same names popping up for years from both "parties".
If you have a way of finding out who served when that would be great. Google doesn't seem to like the question.
Thanks in advance. :-)

Barbara J Lee September 29, 2012 at 06:54 am
It's always easier to hire whom you know rather than vetting viable candidates who respond to job…Read More ads... plus since the hiring parties are not terribly secure in their own jobs/positions skill/intelligence wise why hire from outside the "incestuous family bed" to be threatened by interlopers?
It's a more local form of the business/banking/financial world's "club" associations. In other words, it happens because we don't trust ourselves and, thus, the "others" and too the gene pool is definitely geographically limited and limiting. What's missing is honesty and the best qualities of "noblesse oblige".
TruthSquad July 27, 2012 at 07:28 pm
In speaking to high-ranking members of the Police Department, I was informed that no such policy…Read More exists for preferential parking. I was told that officers are encouraged to always use discretion when ticketing, which may indeed favor a delivery person or realtor over the average shmoe.
What does "discretion" mean here?: A cop might see the situation and take note. If the car is still there in 10 minutes, they'll ticket. This is perfectly reasonable, and is far more believable than your conspiratorial caprice.
Brendan July 27, 2012 at 04:37 pm
"when macys has a sale u stay away???"
Doreen, not to derail the conversation, but if…Read More this is what your sales approach is going to consist of, it doesn't bode well for you or anyone else in real estate.
The investment of a large portion of a person's lifetime accumulation of wealth, as well as entering into agreements that bind people to tax obligations for large swaths of time are being compared to MACY'S?
It smacks of desperation, which doesn't exactly lead me to believe that the prices have quite bottomed out yet.

Credibility Mr. Levy? I think Jim has shed some light on a portion of the backdoor deals that are…Read More happening underneath all of our noses. If you don't have a problem with handing someone a job that doesn't have the greatest track record in the world when it comes to working with children, a job that solely deals with children then you need to take a look in the mirror. Whether Jim has it own agenda or not, wake up and look at what's going on. Not as someone who has a political affiliation but as a taxpaying citizen of Long Beach.
LBLocal July 3, 2012 at 03:51 am
Checks and Balances, I think we are all in agreement that things could have been better under the…Read More coalition but being a Monday Morning Quarterback doesn't help. We elected a new party for a change and I think most points on this blog are that nothings changing and its actually looking worse. We can't change the past, the power we had were used in November but what we do have is the ability to hold the people CURRENTLY in office accountable for their decisions and promises- and unfortunately for all of us, there decisions are based on behind the scences old clubhouse politics and their promises went out the window the day they were elected. Let's stop harping on the past because there is absolutely nothing we can do about it and live in the present because that is all we have the power to change now
David Levy July 2, 2012 at 06:58 pm
Mr. Hennessy:
The listing of your articles on this site says it all. You're a partisan critic with…Read More no credibility.
Laura McCabe Brandt May 26, 2012 at 10:23 pm
That's misplaced blame. Clearly, he is talented enough that he remains in place while…Read More administrations change. That being said, it is up to the administration to 1) take his advice which he has most likely given and 2) enforce their own rules. It is the administration's managers and supervisors who have to act and who have to be consistent. It is they who need to inform City Counsel when action needs to be taken on an employee level. He can't be expected to babysit every person and every action taken by every person who works for the City. The focus needs to shift from one of blame to one of action. Preferably, action in a civil and professional manner.
Mad21 May 25, 2012 at 11:23 am
I totally agree Laura McCabe. The city's attorney Corey Klein should be dismissed and replaced with…Read More a competent hire he has been playing both sides for years. He is not looking out for the city but for himself. Ever look at the cost of hiring outside consultants to handle cases?

I guess the rumors of ufa and csea attending democratic meetings is a ploy to save your jobs .
Nathan Jessup May 12, 2012 at 04:10 pm
Mr.Gusler , nobody is saying that any of the ufa,pba or city workforce dont do a good job but come…Read More lets be honest here.The salaries listed above are unsustainable and the payouts are costing the taxpayers 3million more.Its time for all the unions to step to the plate then and take pay cut so we dont have our taxes raised 40 percent over the next 3 years. If the unions give back there is no need for this ridiculous tax hike bottom line. All i keep hearing is pba has binding arbitration,csea has contract and the ufa evryday is attending democratic clubhouse meetings.All unions need to stop playing politics and give back .Again those salaries are unsustainable period and the taxpayers have had enough.High six figures salaries and payouts of over 500000 have to stop.
Nathan Jessup April 29, 2012 at 10:27 pm
Hey mr.hennesey what would freeport charlie and sofield done with this hole in the budget. Would…Read More they raise taxes ,layoff workers,tell us.Its easy to run your mouth and complain what this administration is doing wrong. I think your administration hired and promoted people full well knowing there was no money and now these employees are getting hurt and will be fired, at the same you were touting moodys and how good we were while the city couldnt make payroll in december but still found it in your heart to vote for sofields payout. I hope you guys sleep well at night because from what i was told mr.hen is that you and sofield knew 8 months ago about deficit and hid it from people and there are emails to prove it. The truth will come out,spin stops here. I challenge you to argue my facts............
Eddie April 26, 2012 at 09:38 pm
Misty, you said: "The city cannot sell this land to the homeowners or anyone else because of…Read More the riparian water rights of the homeowners". What are you talking about? The owners have no "riparian rights whatsoever". Are you kidding? What do you think gives them these rights?
Misty April 26, 2012 at 07:09 pm
Dear "Who cares". At least 74 homeowners care because if they bought their home in the…Read More early 90s, they paid $50-$75,000 more for their home then say people in the President streets, Westholme, West End, and the walks because of the location. As such, the tax base has been higher then other locations. The city cannot sell this land to the homeowners or anyone else because of the riparian water rights of the homeowners. Incidentally, homeowners paid nearly $20,000 for the replacement of the bulkhead. Because of the city's fiscal mismanagement, they should not look into screwing 74 homeowners. Think of another way to generate revenue. I've suggested several ways on the patch and plan on bringing some ideas to the city council. Why don't you try that?
Jay Gusler April 23, 2012 at 08:27 pm
Enough already Jim. No one but you is interested in the average $100 per taxpaying unit that would…Read More be saved by eliminating the paid force.
Where were your cries to eliminate us when YOUR administration was hiring 5 new FF's and promoting 4 more LT's? It is only since that 'bribe' attempt failed to secure our endorsement that you now call for our elimination. I guess when we backed the Coalition we were vital, but since we backed the Dems this time around we're now a "lot of waste". You can call for eliminating the paid FD under all the false names you want (and there have been dozens), it's still not getting any traction. Maybe you should just let it go already, no? Hell, a year and change from now you'll be seeking our endorsement for your slate yet again. Good luck with that.
Publius April 23, 2012 at 06:34 pm
john p. -- it not a party issue. it is a politics as usual issue. both parties have layered on…Read More jobs for years and years and years. changing parties is not the issue. changing the attitude and what they do are the issues. go to city hall for the next two meetings and offer your suggestions. offering it here will not affect the city council. they need to hear that the taxpayers will not stand for tax raises with no effort made to address the structural infirmities with the City's cost structure (headcount, compensation level, benefits).

It is not a fair charge to make unless you are not involved in Long Beach politics. That charge has…Read More zero credibility coming from a Republican.

Join the Club. You are not the only supporter that has been turned off by the actions of the…Read More present City Council. They think we are stupid. Sounds like the North Park group are not happy campers either. Dan, I don't want to wait two years to get them out. I want to point out the lies and political tricks that this group is involved in now. Maybe just maybe they will realize that their political future is over if they don't straighten out NOW.
sam weintraub April 6, 2012 at 04:26 am
Dan, the charge against this current admin about hiring friends is a very fair charge- Their main…Read More election platform, along with their biggest promise was to end the hiring of friends and family and as soon as they are elected, that is all they do. I voted for a change, but after seeing their campaign promises broken time and time again in 3 months in office, I will not vote for them again.
