Leonard R. Kantor, 2008
Mr. Kantor is a member of the loyal oppposition. He is an advocate for the City of Bayonne as well as a critic of most of the officials that the Bayonne citizens elect to public office.
We know that Mr. Kantor has put in a lot of time and effort into his research and into his attendance at public meetings . We believe that his ideas and conclusions deserve a fair hearing.
We felt complimented by the fact that he agreed to appear on our program where he shared his vision and his ideas.

Betrayal
Assemblyman Chiappone and The Missing Paycheck, 2008
In October of 2004 a legislative aide to Assemblyman Chiappone found that he was missing a paycheck.
In April of 2005, the Bayonne Police discovered that the missing paycheck had been deposited into Assemblyman Chiappone’s personal checking account.
Mike Ransom filed an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request to get the details of the investigation into that misplaced paycheck.
In this presentation, he compared the official investigation reports from the Bayonne Police Department and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice to the public statements made by Assemblyman Chiappone when the news of the missing paycheck became public.
Mr. Ransom is also offering a method for interested parties to get a copy of the Digital Video Disk (DVD) presentation and the Compact Disk (CD) that has the source material for that presentation.
You can see some of the results of the OPRA Request at this link
