TINA RENNA: INEFFECTIVE c*** OR JUST INEFFECTIVE

[Guest]

Since she's using Cranford services to spread her nutty County Watchers nonsense and wasting valuable time at our TC meetings to take advantage of the Republican government we elected here its about time we had our say. She's making Cranford a laughing stock--a homebase for her rabid, ineffective witchhunt that becomes a more cringe-worthy enterprise with every turn.

[Guest]

She's certainly rousting the jerk-offs like yourself out of the bushes. I'd say was effective!

[Guest]

I'd say was effective!

And you say it so well.

[jbken]

Why this obsession with Tina Renna? It's unhealthy.

Aren't there any other Cranfordians with a personality? Aren't there prettier women? Are you all mindless automatons bitter with your lots looking to knock down anyone who's succeeding? Could some of you Democrat apparatchiks be looking to create a scapegoat to divert attention from the $124 million in Bond Anticipation Notes coming due next month that will likely need to be rolled over under onerous interest rates that could lead to mass layoffs? Are you all that petty, mean, and small?

Does this ever happen to you? You're confused on a subject and start writing down random thoughts and then, suddenly, it all becomes obvious.

I'm OK with Tina.
I don't know why others are threatened or agitated.
And, yes, she is a hottie.

[Guest]

if hot means HARPIE

I don't know, John. I am glad that you are finally seeing that your obsession with Tina is unhealthy. The first step is admitting that you have a problem.

Aren't there any other Cranfordians with a personality?

Hopefully you also see your obsession with Cranford is also unhealthy.

Aren't there prettier women?

Do you want names? It would probably be a much shorter read if list the women who are uglier than Tina. The only two that come to mind aren't from Cranford. Susan Boyle and Queen Elizabeth.

Are you all mindless automatons bitter with your lots looking to knock down anyone who's succeeding?

If we were, we wouldn't bother knocking down Tina The only thing I see Tina succeeding in is making my skin crawl. YOU live in Kenilworth....what the f*** do you know about people succeeding???

Could some of you Democrat apparatchiks be looking to create a scapegoat to divert attention from the $124 million in Bond Anticipation Notes coming due next month that will likely need to be rolled over under onerous interest rates that could lead to mass layoffs?

Could be. Some of us could also be republicans, democrats, green party, libertairians, or not politically minded, who think Tina is petty, mean and small amongst other things.

Are you all that petty, mean, and small?

Nope, just Tina is.

Does this ever happen to you? You're confused on a subject and start writing down random thoughts and then, suddenly, it all becomes obvious.

Yes, John. Writing can be very therapeutic. It's nice to see you working through your problems. Hopefully you will overcome your obsessions with Tina, Cranford and the Watchdogs. There is sooo much more to life.

[She is GREAT]

Tina tells the truth and that scares the hell out of a lot of people, especially the originator of this topic. For the topic originator to resort to such lowbrow posting she must be very effective.

For all she has done,Tina has actually added to the payroll of the county and cost us money. All those O.P.R.A. requests have handled by a paid employee who was added to the county staff. While her intentions may be honorable, she has yet to stop what she views as questionable practices. The only thing that she has accomplished thus far is to be the subject of investigation herself.
Perhaps,someday she will find the smoking gun but that is unlikley.
As long as the freeholders pass the laws, they can't be found guilty of breaking any laws.

It's been about 7-8 years since I've followed this stuff (what can I say, the title drew me back in)... My impression back then was that the folks in Elizabeth were probably up to no good considering the amount of noise and chatter on the board and on other county blogs. I figured it wouldn't be long before they found the 'smoking gun' considering the stacks of famous OPRA requests that I remember hearing about.

So after a quick refresher, I'm learning that after all these years, there's still the same volume of chatter and nothing to show for it? AND the same government keeps getting re-elected? I voted for ineffective and I would have voted for unpersuasive if given the option as well.

I've got to tell you, it is really funny to see that she has a show on TV35 too -- this after getting hysterical emails from her complaining about the discussion about her when SHE ended up being the subject of an investigation. I didn't really read much about that, but how's that for irony? She had the chutzpah to suggest that she does not fit the legal definition of a public figure! OK, well I still didn't delete anything.

The reason for the tv35 show is to help the republicans locally. Why else would someone continually preach to the choir--the majority of cranford voters repeatedly vote for republicans.The attacks on aschenbach are obvious. Not only have the county republicans help fund the watchdog group, the group has also been helping raise funds for the republican party. How much in time, effort and money has renna and this guy from kenilworth cost the cranford taxpayers nevermind the county expenses? When will our Mayor Smith and the other republicans limit the 5 minute rule on mike night before our township committee for renna and the kenilworth guy? Why would they sit silently as these two (one of which is not a cranford resident) attack a fellow commissioner who like themselves volunteers an enormous amount of time in helping the town?

Their silence alone speaks volumes and is embarassing. The group is nothing more than the mouth pieces for our local republican candidates and the county republicans.

So you blame Tina Renna for your refusal to heed her.

The best surgeon will be ineffective operating on the brain dead.

It's out there:

http://unioncountywatchdog.org/page.asp?ID=2047

And more is coming. You think a $124 million Bond Anticipation Note is normal?

Imagine Union County without Tina Renna. A start would be to look at your county tax bill and doubling it. Without restraints a political machine guaranteed re-election with two Abbott districts overwhelming everyone else would run wild. It's only people pointing out that million-dollar dog parks and multi-million-dollar golf clubhouses are being built with money siphoned from DDD funds that keeps their legalized larceny somewhat bounded.

[Guest]

Yet the freeholders get elected with a huge mandate every time. I haven't ever seen an instance that suggested they were legislating with the fear of the COUNTY WATCHERS in mind. What a joke!!!

Tina is all about finger pointing, unless the finger is pointing at her. What fun it would be to see those emails.

[Guest]

speak at will about Tina----she doesnt read cranford talk so this is all just between us

I don't read it either.

She doesn't need to read it. Joe, John and Bruce aka Tina's bitches, all read it and report back to her.

please don't waste my tax dollars any more with this including the time and energy of our township committee members.

[Guest]

Yeah, Tina doesn't read CranfordTAlk, that's why she sent hysterical emails to Dave demanding that other peoples' post about her being investigated for committing perjury be removed. Tina doesn't miss anywhere she can see her name in print!

i thought that was covered previously. dave said no go when tina complained so she quit reading this forum years ago. what didnt you understand?

[Guest]

I understood just fine. The emails that he is referring to were in reponse to postings in the last few months. She not only reads this board, she attempted to control its content.

[Dave]

I almost believe that she doesn't read the board regularly. She said she heard about the Cranford Talk discussion of her being investigated for perjury from a friend. The emails didn't indicate much of an understanding about the site; she sort of dismissed the speech here as not valuable because people do so anonymously and not to her face. I'm sure jbken keeps her well apprised of the happenings here if there is actually anything to warrant discussion.

And now, because I love my users here at Cranford Talk so much, I went back and found the emails and there's one part you're going to fall over yourselves laughing about:

My address, phone number and email address can all be easily found on the Internet, I also walk around town often, never has anyone said a negative word to me, I am only complemented, most times by complete strangers.

So next time you see her walking around town, you know what to do.

[jbken]

I'm sure jbken keeps her well apprised of the happenings here if there is actually anything to warrant discussion.

Quite the contrary. This site doesn't come up between us except when it's fairly obvious that it's Seb D'Elia. Don't apprise her and even actively lobby to keep her off here which, I reason, allows me greater tether.

Selective leaks? Let's see it all or do you require an OPRA?

Better yet, considering it's fundraising season, why not put them all in a separate folder only accessible to those who donate?

I didn't actually think there would be anything here to warrant discussion. I am pretty realistic about the type of discourse here. But then again, I get the impression that Renna seems to only think of Cranford as a tool to gain a foothold in her battle with the county, so I wouldn't expect that she would find much interest in the goings-on in town and what her neighbors think. Well except the ones willing to flag her down in public like she's a celebrity.

Good idea, it is fundraising season at Cranford Talk! Since I haven't got enough donations yet, here's another clip sure to produce loud guffaws throughout the town. From dusty cubicles at Town Hall to the fancy mahogany lined computer rooms of the north side, gossip-hungry Cranford Talk users will soon flood our bare coffers with enough hosting fees sure to overflow into extra beer money for me! Must get more Renna material!

Hey, at least fundraising season here doesn't begin and end with episodes of Lawrence Welk.

I choose to ignore this trash because I don’t want to hire an attorney to fight it. But I could in theory. I also choose not to argue on asinine anonymous message boards with people such as Nancy Milenowski, former township commissioners and Sebastian D’Elia; however I would love for them to ring my doorbell or stop me in the street or even write a letter to the editor and sign their names to it.

[jbken]

Now you're thinking!

Now, make it work for you. Don't print the next excerpt until you reach some artificial fundraising goal ($50?) and start spewing. Parcel it out in $50 increments saving the best for last. Maybe imply that you have nude photos or videos that you will share (or not depending on which you feel would get more donations). All it has to be is someone who looks like Tina Renna and you can say it's dated.

Then there's the outings. For example, you could confirm who Sunny is (assuming some still didn't get it) if you hit $500.

[Dave]

Nice! You can be my fundraising chair. I'm totally clueless about all this money stuff, and since I think I've already burned through all the best material, I might need a more authentic product to put forward. With your help, Cranford Talk could go real far if you'd be willing to pony up the real thing... We've all seen the way she looks at you in some of those videos, John. You dog.

I can't work like this. You're utterly clueless. I hand you a goldmine and you piss it away.
Those two email excerpts could well have been the only truck you've ever had with Tina Renna but those ponying
up on Paypal to get more don't know that. I can't put it any better than Jack Lemmon did in this clip from 4:30 to 5:45:

Dave, my guess is that these anonymous bashers are too timid to approach a strong willed woman. you can see it in these postings how they act. Dave you are the first to actually have the strenght to suggest something like this. But you are also probably too scared to approach her, right? The best thing is to approach her with your friend as back up but she'd probably klunk your heads together and push you in the gutter. (the last sentence reminds me of a seinfeld episode). Good luck little ones............................

[Sunny]

I don't speak for anyone else but I don't give a patooti what renna does, thinks or says. irrelevant. however, I have posted here so infrequently over the past year or longer, that fact that jbken brings me up is pretty amusing. and just for the record, I really dislike the c-word and never think using it is a good idea.

how much is this republican political campaign being run through renna and the watchdogs costing the cranford taxpayers?

Anyone have any numbers yet?

[reasonableguest]

best guess is that it is nowhere near the $15 mill annually that the freeholders siphon off from cranford taxpayers to fund their county campaign and give "free" services to their dmocrat voting bloc towns, thanks to lunkheads like you enabling this system. I see tina musta klunked you and your crony's heads together when you approached her. That could be the only explanation of why you would want to hurt our neighbors like this.

so basically everyone everywhere hates every member of the renna family.

Wouldn't you have to OPRAH the town for that information about the watchdogs? Very ironic, don't you think?

[Guest]

Wow, I finally saw her in a video on Youtube. She is annoying, loud, and unintelligible. And that Joisey accent? Yikes. She needs to come up with more choice words. "Obnoxious" "Attacking" "Insulting"....Oh my goisshhh!

[Guest]

She's certainly rousting the jerk-offs like yourself out of the bushes. I'd say was effective!

Yes, and if Snookie could make it wit dat accent, so can she!! MTV should give her a show.

Isn't it ironic that Tina crusades for fiscal responsibility by the couty but has cost us $800,000 in O.P.R.A. requests.

She could better serve by this example:Cranford man sets example by picking up litter in park for more than 20 years http://www.nj.com/news/local/index.ssf/ ... ample.html

Just because the County windbag says Tina's OPRA requests have cost the County $800,000 doesn't make it true. She has won cases against the county. Maybe it's the County's secrecy that has costs the taxpayers money.

[Guest]

Or maybe it is true. I don't see you presenting facts that it is not.

[Guest]

picking up the garbage in the park will not help the renna's business. Being politically active have gotten them many government contracts. Oh, what a surprise!!

[Copy Cat]

Or maybe it is true. I don't see you presenting facts that it is not.

$800,000 in costs to make public records public would be a crime in itself.
It's an absurd amount, and hardly believable.
