OPRA the Contract

Why not?

After the HHA meeting, someone sent me this:

It was Carmelo's contract that stated that the Ex Dir. has the "sole appointing power"... but Carmelo won't let anyone have a copy of his contract... Mello, Burrell, and Lincoln have NEVER even seen it... how the f*ck do they know what it says?  

Hmmmmm. 

 "Carmelo won't let anyone have a copy of his contract"

Well folks, its easy to OPRA a document- like the HHA Executive Director's contract. I suppose you can file an OPRA request at the HHA, but you might as well try the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) first, they'll (probably) give you less hassle.

You can do it all online- it takes a minute.

1- Click here: https://www16.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/department.jsp

2- In the 'Choose a Department' field select "Community Affairs"

3-In the 'Choose a Division' field select "Division of Housing and Community Resources"  (I think)

4-Fill out the form- it looks like this:

You must fill out all the blue fields PLUS this:  

Select One: Under penalty of N.J.S.A. 2C:28-3, I certify that I   Have Not   Have   been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, or any other state, or in United States.

Request the documents be emailed- it's free.  But you still need to put a number in the "Maximum Authorized Cost" field.

So anyone who's curious to see what the BIG SECRET is all about by all means take 60 seconds and file the OPRA.  The HHA ED is paid with public money and you have the right to know.

I'd be curious to compare the contract the DCA has on file to the one Daglian wouldn't show Chairman Stuiver when he asked to see it the other night.  Instead Daglian tucked the contract in his briefcase.

Maybe that's why they've deployed the  scummiest thugs to go after Jake- he asks way too many questions.
