Looking Out For Belmar’s Flooded Taxpayers?

Or looking to hose them? From the Morris County Daily Record: Belmar taxpayers lost out on post-Sandy savings Countywide program offered tax reductions based on damages BELMAR — Doug Sweeny should have saved $1,100 on his property taxes after superstorm Sandy flooded his borough home, but he never saved a dime. That money would still sit […]

VOTE TODAY

Correction

In yesterday’s post, a quote by a local mayor was mistakenly attributed to Long Branch mayor Adam Schneider.  We apologize for the error and we’re quite sure that Mayor Schneider would never say things like that about constituents that might oppose any of his policies.

Another Redevelopment Lawsuit

This time in Long Branch. From today’s Press: Long Branch residents file suit to stop townhouses from being built A group of residents who want to stop 11 townhouses from being built contend the City Council erred when it entered into an agreement with TDB Associates, Inc., the developer behind the beachfront proposal. The group, […]

“Story” Booker?

We’ve all heard about the Newark mayor’s imaginary friend T-Bone, but now its starting to look like a lot more of what we know about Booker’s life is pure fiction. Neighbors: Cory Booker never lived in Newark Newark activists say Booker’s fire-rescue story is all wet  

Economic Idiocy 101

In yesterday’s Press there was a feature story entitled “Treading Water: Will middle class wages ever catch up to inflation?”  Well if we follow the advice of the four college professors they asked, we will no longer be treading water, we’ll be sinking like a stone. I wrote a short rebuttal to it, but I […]

My Hidden Motive Unveiled!

The oft-repeated assertion by the other side that opposition to the mayor’s grandiose redevelopment plan is politically driven is something they may believe, but its certainly not true.  Maybe they just can’t believe that people don’t like the plan they all worked so hard on.  After all, its so beautiful, so perfect, how could the […]

Who Are The Radicals Here?

Don’t you think it’s kind of funny how the other side is working hard to characterize Jim, Tom and I as “radicals”?  I’d like them to name one “radical” change we wish to impose on the people of Belmar.  They call us ideologists, but the three of us are simply defending the ideology that’s already […]

Radical Tea Party Nuts Want To Destroy Belmar And USA!

There’s a letter in today’s Coast Star  supposedly written by Councilwoman Jennifer Nicolay.  I say supposedly because while she may have written some of it, there’s absolutely, in my opinion, no way she wrote the fourth paragraph.  It’s standard Democratic boilerplate and had to have written either by mayor Matt Doherty or Belmar Democratic chairman […]
