PART TWO: Woodbridge Town Mayor or Town Bully?
In response to OPRA Requests, the township has confirmed there are "no responsive" (read: apprasials) documents related to the township interests in acquiring private homes/properties at 107, 114 or 116 N. James Street, despite John McCormac's expressed desire to acquire those properties in order to further his latest scheme to replace those homes with apartments and a Transit parking garage.
The other home he needs, aside from those three and two small businesses on Amboy Ave., is located on Ross St.

As noted in my previous writing, McCormac personally wrote to the owner of that home; a senior citizen who states her family has owned the home since the early 1900's.
That lady emphatically states she has rejected McCormac's blunt offer and wants to remain in her family home. She is working to resolve her mortgage difficulties; difficulties McCormac through in her face!

To show just how 'unfair' ( I am be polite) McCormac can be, copies of the appraisal he obtained from one of his favorite apprsiser, for a cost of $1,500.00 taxpayers money, is shown above.
Does anyone really believe that home is only worth $200,000.00? Jesse James would offer her more, and he carried a gun!
Perhaps, if needed, a "Go Fund Me" page should be started to keep this woman in her family home, and to block McCormac's land grabs for apartments our town neither needs or wants!
For those you do not want downtown Woodbridge to be one big Transit village filled with apartments, or just don't like McCormac's tactics, call or text him. No doubt he would welcome your opinion on transforming Woodbridge in an apartment complex.
