"The only thing this study [Blue Shield Study] might have answered is the question some people have had as to whether the consultant, as well as the Mayor and Council would be fair and balanced in the end. Obviously not. First off, this so called "professional" analysis is anything but professional. I completed better analysis in grade school and wasn't paid $40,000.00 + to do it. But I digress since the townsfolk are already well aware of the lack of credentials of those doing the "studying".  

"In our opinion the study [Blue Shield Study] is so rife with errors, inconsistencies, and thoroughness that it almost laughable, not to mention being highly unprofessional. I worked as a consultant from 1984 to 1988 part time and from 1988 to 2001 full time. Had I presented such a shallow report to any of my clients, I would not have lasted for that duration and would probably been denied payment. Had I presented it any of my employers prior to 1988, I would have been fired on the spot. "

"After reading the analysis [Blue Shield Study] of shared services, conducted by Ted M. Ehrenburg of Blue Shield Consulting L.L.C., I am appalled of the lack of consideration to the safety for the residences in the Borough of Mount Arlington."

"This 28 page report [Blue Shield Study] is ambiguous, incorrect of some facts and unprofessional. We should have done this report in house and saved the residents the $43,000

"... Kerri Ann Mulligan, the council's liaison to the police department, said she was "not pleased" by the report [Blue Shield Report] because it lacked sufficient supporting data."
