That was Undersheriff Gerald B. Green whose father is Union County Democrat chair and Assemblyman Gerald B. Green explaining that for what is now $10,000 per month somebody (or some team of people) come to the Union County Administration Building (possibly in the freeholder meeting room since he did say ‘here’) to conduct what appear to be weight-loss classes in the mornings and at lunchtime.

This sounds more like an intervention. Hi my name is sheriff Sleepy and it’s been 13 days since I last ate two double meatballs sandwiches for lunch and slept all afternoon in my car.

Almost three quarters of a million dollars for undersheriff’s daddy/assemblyman Gerald Green’s slum property on St. George Avenue in Linden … still a tax-payer grabbing noose on Linden taxpayers. No surprise son comes out to support another tax-payer grabbing folly.

Interesting(no it is really outrageous) that the freeholders would vote unanimously (they always do) to provide the sheriff’s department with an elaborate bennie for weight reduction in order for the speedier policing of their constituents that elected them; while their constituents have to get along by invoking a much less tech approach to weight loss–namely eating less! It never ends.

This 10 wk program is utilized by many employees in departments other than the Sheriffs. They go exercise on county time and with county funds. The old juvenile detention center on top of the parking garage is where they go to “exercise”. I bet some friends and family members also utilize the program given probably by a friend or family vendor. Only in Union Waste The Taxpayers Money County!!
