03/27/08 Hamilton Avenue Parents Say Frank Mazza Was Publicly Caught in Lie

Last night, at an off-camera, no media meeting, called an "Open Forum" for Hamilton Avenue Parents, it appears that Frank Mazza was once again caught red-handed in a bald-faced lie.

At one point during his answer to a question, Frank Mazza stated that "the project is now one year behind".

He said it twice.

Mazza had told the parents waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back at the beginning of the project that from the start of demolition to completion date would take 18 months.

Everyone and his uncle knows that demolition commenced in July 2005.

Even using the "new math" that would have made the completion date around December 2006.

Everyone heard Mr. Mazza say last night that the signed contract that he signed has a completion date of May 2007.

It looks like the Board Of Education and Frank Mazza never intended to complete this project in 18 months, it appears that it all was a lie from the get-go.
