Denville needs a watchdog group to control town officials

Dear Editor,

The Denville Council gives our tax money to the head of the United Bowhunters of New Jersey, who was booked for illegal activities regarding deer hunting.

Marc Weiss of the United Bowhunters of New Jersey surrendered on July 6 to officials from the State Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife and processed at the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department’s Bureau of Law Enforcement in Wayne. His court date is pending.

He illegally operated a deer check station from his vehicle, using deer check tags acquired from his friend, which he then sold to the hunters making a profit from it. He also illegally kept culled deer that were never checked by the state-run deer check stations (50 in North Jersey) and used and sold tags which are only authorized by the state to keep track of the deer.

Denville’s hypocritical council are showing their constituents how they care for us by wasting our tax money by giving it to Mark Weiss to buy feed during the deer cull. The hypocrisy here is why the council did not appropriate more of our money to supply Mr. Weiss’s deer hunters with their clothing and equipment for their recreational sport? They also extended the deer hunt to four months, September to February, from last year, which was only three months too long.

By the way, in every year for which statistics have been kept, hunters have injured or killed more people in the state than deer or bears have. The hunters are violent special interest groups and represent less than 1 percent of the state population who seek to kill our wildlife for profit and pleasure. Visit www.abolishsporthunting.com for more information.

The second hypocrisy of our controversial council is issuing a new ordinance that bans smoking in public recreational areas and nearby sidewalks and parking lots. Statistics show that more deaths occur from obesity brought on by fast foods franchised in our town. Why? Really, this shows a lock of knowledge of the environmental, ecological system, health and abuse of human rights. It also shows a lack of leadership of many of our elected township officials.

To issue so many unimportant laws, infringing and abusing individual rights is ridiculous. Don’t we have bigger problems to resolve and to save our town from? Aren’t we missing the real problem here?

Attend council meetings, get involved and hold them accountable or replace them. They are not reliable or worthy of our tax money spent during these economic realities we live in.

Denville desperately needs a citizen’s watchdog group which many neighboring towns have for years and are much better at controlling their downtown hall officials.

'alleged'
She may have a serious problem-especially if Marc is acquitted (I hear the State' case is pretty thin). Her comments amount to defamation of character and are likley actionable if he in fact did not do what she says he did.

If anyone remembers the olympic park bombing in Georgia, the security guard that found the unattended package and began clearing the area before the bomb went off was chastised in the local papers for planting the bomb and then saving the citizens from it to become a selfv made hero. He was investigated and cleared of any wrong doing-turns out the guy is a real hero-yet the papers portrait of him immediately after the bombing is what people remember-those papaers are now paying for his retirement-he sued each and every one of them and recovered millions! good for him. This wack job better watch what she says

Hypocrite?

She points the reader to a website that wants to abolish sport hunting, then gets all preachy about infringing on individual rights. [confused]

Some people are just retarded. Unfortunately this state seems to be loaded with them. [wallmad]

He would need to prove damages as a direct result of what she said. Not likely he would be able to prove that and would probably just end up spending a bunch of money on a lawyer.

Not true. Defamation also carries "Nominal damages." (usually a few thousand to teach the wrongdoer a lesson)

Maybe I'm mistaken. I thought that you have to prove actual damages. If you found a sympathetic judge you might have a case.

I really would like to know how they can print something like that without proof.
Where did Felicia Grey get this information from? Newspapers are a joke anymore, they don't check their sources and should be held liable.[wallmad]

almaink it is called opinion mostlikely her statement was on the Opinion page and like they say everyone has an A--hole and an opinion (And often times they both smell the same).
The problem with most animal rights people is they try to palm off poorly thought out OPINION as fact.
