I just told you out of the line, randomly, every 5th guy out of the book, look, yeah. Okay, so this is great. One moment. One moment. I'm just going to ask you about, you know, the endorsement. You know, what led you to choose him, you and your members, right? Your president of which law do you? I'm president of a local arts 12. Terrific, I picked the right guy. Give us one moment. We're ready, Bobby? Yeah, you're right. Okay, thank you. So, we heard you're good there. So, you know, we heard Senator Pozign, and we heard our brand against say, it was a lodge by lodge boat. Everybody had to say, you're president of the Newark lodge. What is it about Senator Pozign that you liked, overdubbed Forest, or apparently you spoke to both men? What is it you like, of Pozign over Forest? First and foremost, I like the interest in rebuilding the pension system. Currently, the pension system has issues that need to be addressed. I have five more years to go on the job.
And I like for the pension system to be solvent for the other officers that are coming up behind me. You think that drove the vote among a lot of FOE officers? That as well as the issues as it pertains to education, the citizens of Newark, as well as issues as it pertains to homeland security. So then, give me the top issues in a nutshell then in terms of why yourself, and many others, I'm presuming it wasn't unanimous, but you're probably close, but yourself and many others elected to go with John Pozign as an endorsement. Specifically, because of the issues of pension, as well as it deals with issues pertaining to homeland security. Norick is a large town doing a day. It has a larger group of citizens going back and forth as well as working. And we would like to see our fair shares come into the city of Newark for the protection of those individuals. Of course, you have the potential. We'll do a two-bombie. Sure, thanks. Of course, you had the potential situation.
Remember where those papers showed up in Iraq or someplace Afghanistan? Remember? I don't know. Yes, yes. And that's a major concern. Like I said, there's a lot of citizens and workers, employees, they filter in and out of Newark doing the course of the day. And we want to make sure that we have enough police officers, make sure that we have enough protection to serve, protect the individuals that are going back and forth. Terrific. Can you wait one moment? How long you've been on the force? What do you do now? And did you come up from a patrolman? I'm guessing you're not still a patrolman, maybe? I started patrol. I'm in March 27th of 1987. I served in patrol. I worked out of narcotics. I served four and a half years with our close-back old firearms, detailed out. We did a major gun and drug violators. And I've been the first vice president for 10 years. I remember we were in this league in which there was no one.
That's the one I was going towards. That's right. There's a voter for trans cuts. Right. I've seen it. There's a voter for trans cuts. Right. I've seen it. There's a voter for trans cuts. I'm assuming you're not trying to make a living. Right. Yeah, that was the one that was airing all weekend, by the way. Football, I was watching. Notre Dame and Giants. Yeah, right. Oh, Notre Dame. It was a heartbreaker. A heartbreaker, but it was a great game. We actually thought it was over. No time on a clock. Yeah, I'm going to take a walk through. Can we do this work through? Well, first we're going to talk to the senator right here. But that way, because then we're going to come walk through a walk through. It's a piece of con that I know will be. Time's winding down. Okay. You were saying that you were looking at the inquire. I don't know. Did that story run yesterday today? No, there was a front page article in the Philadelphia inquire today that says that my opponent was practicing pay to play, has taken no bid contracts.
In substantial, 3.4 million for the Burlington County special school districts. One of these no bid contracts by charging the highest price relative to three different vendors who provide the prescription drug benefits. And it was tied up with political bosses and commissions being paid to various individuals who are involved in the political arena. And my opponent talks about outrageous practices in New Jersey politics. And this is one of those outrageous practices. And it is why there is so much cynicism in politics because an individual runs on a campaign platform of going to end no bid contracts, non competitive contracts. So we're going to end pay to play.
We're going to end jacking up prices. He claims that he's actually saving taxpayers money when the price of these pharmaceutical contracts went up 37% from 2004 to 2005, while the national percentage was 15%. 37% versus 15%. He says it's because there's all kinds of services that he's providing. Well, you know, I don't think that cuts it with normal taxpayers. And I think they will be, they will be disbelieving that he's going to bring change. If you want to bring change, you ought to practice what you preach. Do you think that you'll be using this article and some of the points that it made and television commercials coming up? We'll have to look at it. I mean, I'm already made the point that my opponent has jacked up prices in no bid contracts and two communities here in New Jersey. And there's another one about to be filed in Philadelphia. None of this, by the way, none of this has been stimulated in and around.
It is a recognition that no bid pay to play practices are being done by Benacard, that company, that Mr. Forester owns. And, you know, he's going to have to explain to the public why their prescription drug prices are going through the roof far faster than they are at the nation or in the state. Can we get to them off? You said that you said that your campaign wasn't part of it. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. But you think it speaks to what he is. I think there is a pattern of the same one that I've been doing in that. I'm sure I know. We're going to get one more referral. And we're going to walk through it. That'll be for me. Thank you. Okay. What about your own head? You don't know whether you have anything new out exactly. We don't have any new sense.
Right. All the things that we have are consistent with what we've had up and you know beyond for a while. When these four... That's good, Jimmy. How you doing, all? You killed me. I remember there. I think there is a reason. I don't know. Oh my God.
I don't know. I don't know. Three, three, two, one. Coresign already has endorsements from some of the heaviest hitters in organized labor,
including the 192,000 members state teachers union and the AFL CIO with it's nearly 1 million members, but he says he hopes the police endorsements send a particular message to voters. Yes? Yeah, you ready? Yep. Good. Three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the heaviest hitters in organized labor including the 192,000 members state teachers union and the AFL CIO with it's nearly 1 million
members. But he says he hopes the police endorsements send a permit on rule. Okay, thanks. Says the police, but he says he hopes the police endorsements send a particular message to voters. Yeah, it's just like that. Okay. Good delivery. Sorry. Three, two, one. Okay. Thank you for up there. Hi. How are you? Okay. Three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the one more time. I'm sorry. Yes. Three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the shooting. Yes. Three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the heaviest hitters in organized labor including the 192,000 members state teachers union and the AFL CIO with it's nearly 1 million
members. But he says he hopes the police endorsements send a particular message to voters. Oh no. Let's get one more. Three, two, one. Three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the heaviest one more time. I want to be clear about three, two, one. Poor sign already has endorsements from some of the heaviest hitters in organized labor including the 192,000 members state teachers union and the AFL CIO with it's nearly 1 million members. But he says he hopes the police endorsements send a particular message to voters. Got it? Done? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Where did you grow? I don't know.
You got in with a fast crowd. I guess. I guess it was all pretty much people hung out. How old were you when you had this baby or when you grew up? I'm exactly 18 years old. It's every responsibility for a young man. But your mother-in-law or your girlfriend's mother is taking good care of him. Yeah, real good care. Well, this is far from me. They just sent me pictures. I haven't had a visit yet. What was the last time you saw him? My son? Yeah. I've never seen him. We've never seen him.
Just pictures. I've never seen him. But it was true. I don't see him any visits at all. I got one visit in fifteen months. And that was from my own family. Could they bring you something? Are you allowed to see him? Yeah, I'm allowed to see him. How did you go all through two days? I don't really want to see him here under these circumstances. So you were saying, what we have here is a voucher that the kid uses is done manually.
So let's say, for instance, a kid buys a hamburger and costs $1.50. What we do is we punch this off and then out of the count. We deduct the money. What we're going to try to do in the near future is go to a swipe card situation for kids. Similar to that of an ATM machine, most kids in here have no idea what ATMs are all about on the street or what we're trying to do is increase their skill level. Make them more familiar with what goes on by having an account, taking care of their account. And when things are deducted, they'll be able to see how much money they're spending each week at the campus shop. And I think it increases their skill level. It kind of brings them up to the 21st century when we start talking about money and deductions of money.
Let me stop you there. Let's try to hold a steady two, sir. Okay, as a tradition in corrections, we don't use money. We use a voucher system. This is done manually each week when a young man may come in here to order sandwiches or salads or whatever. What we're going to try to do in the future is we're going to try to go to a swipe card situation similar to that of an ATM. So we can teach the kids how to use an ATM card, how they can now they can look at how things are deducted from their account and make them a little bit more accountable and responsible for everything that they spend in the facility. Very good. Can we get more trial demanding? Well, I think that we need to teach them yourself. Yeah, if you had more time, I would have liked to teach you for what you do. So, I'm going to try to do a pass-on call, a valid call, a soft call, a soccer.
