“Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge amongst the people” John Adams
Perhaps you have followed the legal case of the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority verses the Port Authority. This case deals with the sale of land to the Port Authority for $40mil under market value. Since that deal was made the BLRA reversed its decision to award the land to the PA due to public pressure [...]
I arrived at the Port Authority offices at 225 Park Ave at about 4:15PM. I was awaiting a call from Couselor Steven Gorelick, attorney for Stern & Kilcullen representing the Port Authority. However, Mr. Gorelick failed to call me to advise me to confirm if we were still on for 4PM. Therefore I made an [...]
As I mentioned earlier, the Port Authority subpoenaed me to a deposition that was due to happen today at 3:30PM in Newark, NJ. At expense to myself I left work early from Manhattan in order to make it to the deposition on time, only to be told that they had served me the wrong subpoena. [...]
I have been officially subpoenaed by the Port Authority in their case against the BLRA et al. This is a curious move to me, as I already have filed a complaint in lieu of prerogative writs against them looking to intervene and/or consolidate their case.

Even though I have been unsuccessful in getting news coverage of the case, I have continued to press my legal efforts. I have received a docket number (C.57.08) in the Hudson County Chancery Division of the [...]
Who doesn’t like a nice surprise? The public, that’s who. Last night BLRA commissioner Fitch bemoaned being “pounded by questions” from the public. However, what can the good commissioner expect from the public when there appear to be surprises around every corner with the BLRA?
Surprise #1: Congratulations, you just won $12million dollars! Well… not exactly. [...]
The meeting will be at 6PM this evening, April 17. Two topics expressed in today’s JJ:
1.) New ED might be announced at tonight’s meeting. Personally, I plan on sending an email to Ted, Tony and the Mayor about my opinions on the matter.First, Doll should be excluded. He wanted to retire from the BOE, let [...]
Today I filed a motion in the Superior Court of New Jersey Chancery Division Hudson County against the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority. That document is attached to this post.
