nothing like a slap in the face for the township.Good idea get rid of the soliciter and get someone in that knows what they are doing.bring angelini back.you guys were supposed to save us money but with this decision sunoco will benefit with a 40 million payback instead of 15 million ,should have been open to the public.4 months in and docimo is starting to look like mayor of the decade come on guys think or your term will be up in 2 years

This is a sorry performance by Mayor Chintall, Committeeman Cianfarini, and the the new township solicitor for sure. Anybody that has read Patch could see this was going to be the judge's decision. Yet these three boneheads insisted on keeping from the public what the taxpayers had a right to know. Hopefully they get it now and will fully disclose the reasons for their support of the Sunoco settlement and the true cost to the taxpayers.

We can whine,complain,rant & rave about ever decision that the Township administration does now or previous and it doesn't do any good.
It seems as though they were told something different than what the judge seen.
Now it is either poor judgement on the new soliciters part or just a lack of what the residents should have been informed.
Now let's see how the coastal settlement going to be handled.
Tonight excuses will being running rampant throughout the meeting.

O.K., so now will the patch tell the full, true story. This isn't what happened and the Township can proceed. To J . Smith Mr Izzo and lawsuit guy claiming how wonderful Angelini is.....seriously? We will be waiting for your apologies.

PAtch, I have lost total faith in you, shame.

" You can't piece together compliance" - Judge McCaffrey. What happened to the promises of new transparency???

Thanks for the above article, Bryan. As you know, because you are at the township meetings, I have repeatedly asked Mayor Chintall the very same questions that now not only CAN be disclosed but MUST be disclosed. He stared at me blankly. Mr. Ogozalek, obviously, does not know the laws as they pertain to municipal requirements. Whatever we are paying him is not justifiable considering his flawed legal advice. I also suggest that Mayor Chintall direct his Riverwinds Advisory Committee, especially "leader" Jeff Hanson (yes the Republican Committe candidate) not to base his opinions regarding OPMA compliance on our solitors's flawed legal counsel otherwise many other lawsuits may await.

AND since you are all talking about OPMA, let's talk about OPRA as well, and another division in West Deptford Township, the West Deptford Township Police Department. They are notorious for VIOLATING OPRA laws. The West Deptford Township Police Department was fined $16,000 for violating OPRA. They were found guilty, and then proceeded to file an appeal again and LOST; hence, costing the taxpayers more money! Do you all know how many times they have violated and assaulted women in this township? A LOT! If you call the West Deptford Township Police to help you in anyway, BEWARE that they will violate you in some way and then they will LIE to cover up for themselves, and if you let them know that you are not happy for their actions, they will, in a heartbeat, sign a harrasment complaint against you; hence, VIOLATING YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO FREE SPEACH, because they THINK they are above you and you stoop before them. They are OUT OF CONTROL!

TERRY didn't see you last night so before you open your trap no the facts before spewing your guts about certain politically events.during the course of the last group your mouth was mum and they are the ones that put this township in the hole.
all you people that complain if you can do a better job step up to the plate and run for committee person or better yet MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN.
ALL YOU DO IS COMPLAIN. birds of a feather flock to g white.

Sam, Ray, and this clueless solicitor catch another verbal beatdown this time at the hands of the bigtime republican judge Eugene McCaffrey. Great job guys!

How fitting that the new remake of the Three Stooges is being released tonight by the motion picture industry; many in West Deptford can surmise that the remake is starring Chintall, Cianfarini, and this Ogozalek Jr character---these three stooges are trying to reinvent government and make up their own rules as they go along without having any clue whtsoever of what they are readily doing. The judge, a staunch Republican supporter himself, practically laughed these three out of his courtroom.

Where is the transparency that Chintall and cianfarini promised? Thank God that this judge shutdown Sam and Ray's secret, behind-the-backs of the taxpayer's dealings that they tried to commit! Why would Sam and Ray deceive the taxpayers that they supposedly represent in favor of a Corporate giant worth BILLIONS of dollars? It is truly unreal what these two are trying to so to West Deptford.

And this solicitor, how much more money is he going to cost the taxpayers for not understanding how munincipal law works? This solicitor absolutely has no clue what he is doing, did he get his law degree off of overstock.com? Oh my God, please help us as a Township, this is just another lawsuit that is costing the town thousands and thousands of dollars because of the incompetence of Sam and Ray.

You can't blame Greg Ley for this one! When will the madness end? And how is the Cromwell Court lawsuit going?

Amazing.

John Saber: Nothing in my comment required my presence at last night's meeting in order to know (not no) what I'm talking about. If you think otherwise, you do not know how to read. While reading your comment, I noticed how badly you need a refresher course in middle school English composition. Perhaps you should try that before you post again. Your phrase about my trap is laughable...it speaks volumes about your lack of class. Hmm, I thought Archie Bunker had left our midst...imagine my surprise to find he is alive and well and living in West Deptford!

I HAVE TO BUTT IN TERRY 90% OF THE TIME YOUR LIPS ARE GLUED TO THE MIKE WITH YOUR IDIOTIC STATEMENTS. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ANYONE.OH I FORGOT YOUR A PUPPET OF G WHITE THAT EXPLAINS IT.

All this complaining, blaming and buffoomery is just political gamemenship. Committeman's Cianfarini's analysis of the tentative Sunoco Tax Appeal settlement given on Thursday evening was excellent, factual and difficult for even the Democrats to fault. There was nothing being hidden, no smoking guns. It is the same analysis that had been made and considered before Thursday's hearing before Judge McCaffrey and the basis for the earlier agreement. It shows both a reasonable and probably the best possible settlement of the tax appeal and will likely stand as the basis for the final decision. So are we talking about what's good for the taxpayers of West Deptford or all the drama stirred up by a few top Democrats to waste time, energy and taxpayer money to delight themselves and a few other of WD's hardened Democrats ?

Does anybody know who appointed this judge?

Anyone want to bet he was appointed by a Democrat?

Admittedly, I was not present at the meeting, my issue isn't with the actual settlement,and whether it is a good deal or not. What is scary is that it did take a Superior Court Judge to bring it to light. MANY promises of transparency in all areas was just one of the campaign promises made by new committee. My experience in life says if they were willing to do this on day one, they will attempt to bilk the public again and that is just bad government. It has to be in the open. The judge stated;" You can't piece together compliance". This was supposed to be a NEW DAY for West Deptford Twp.

I have to laugh at the responses given by the few residents that plague this site with various comments.Does it really matter if the presentation was given prior to tuesday's meeting.It's only a handful of people that show up at these meetings,95% of the twonship residents could care less how it's settled.Just settle it and move on.
I guess these frustrated individuals that didn't get there buddy in for office will say anything that will make the current administration look bad.However in a short period of time,they accomplished something that the democrats didn't.
