Yes, Eustace is “Useless”. But this Point Still Needs to be Made…

Every week, a different town is in the paper for receiving a grant for generators through FEMA.  All the articles tell the same story:

1)      In each town, the administrator or the Office of Emergency Management applied for a grant through FEMA in the aftermath of Superstore Sandy.

2)      FEMA issues the funding.

3)      There are requirements and restrictions on the types of generators, types of energy, and locations where they are to be used.


Here is one article about Wanaque in Sunday's Record:

Here is an article about Little Falls from last month:


Absent from all the other town’s articles are a photo of a self-serving
assemblyman, taking credit for a grant he had NOTHING to do with.



Kim Lueddeke, of the Bergen Record, was right to do her own research on this matter and not report on lies told by Marc Schrieks.  Tim Eustace’s photo was no part of her story.



Marc Schrieks lied to the public at the October 15, 2013 meeting.  He stated that Eustace was bringng this money to Lodi and that he wanted to throw a “party” for him.

This situation was discussed at length during at the October meeting.  Eustace even spent time responding to it during the hearing of the citizens.

This was all left off of the October minutes.  Why?  Because Marc Schrieks told one lie after another in his pursuit to impress Tim Eustace.  In return, Marc expects Eustace to use his assembly seat to land Marc a better political job.

Dishonest politicians can run dishonest campaigns.  That’s a given.  But public meetings belong to the public.  If Marc wants to stage and then act out a work of fiction, he should join the theater.
