    Well the good part is that AC is so screwed up even this guy can’t screw it up any worse. His biggest problem will be the drive home after happy hour.

I’m sure he’ll get caught up in a scandal down there. I’m sure the GSP aka the trail of tears will not be friendly to him. Maybe he can advise theb AC beach patrol on how to do their job and they’ll tell him to take a long walk off a short pier…..game on….Drew & Colleen have a nice Summer!!

    Gotta love the sign in front of McMurphy. What it should read is” Saving Belmar Taxpayers”….. by giving McDirty a Political $250k job (bennies, car, pension) over the 100 other a-kissing hacks that were on their knees applying for this BS job. We need someone strong to right this ship and McGovern is not the man. Continue to vote these puppets out, do not forget their wrongdoings, lies.

    Was it a package deal? Is Ms. Connelly going too? Please let there be a hot mic somewhere in the next two years. He is bound to make Gov. Murphy aware of what a fool and jackass he really is.

    As much as I am thrilled that Doherty will not be our mayor if this goes through, I for one am appalled that he gets rewarded for the chaos he created here in Belmar. Murphy obviously owes Kivvit and Maggie Moran. Doherty will now have access to even bigger public till then he had here in Belmar. What a political joke these people play on us, the tax paying public.
    Just remember when you vote in November who voted in lock step with Dorehty. Brian Magovern is totally incompetent and Jennifer never had an original thought in her head.
    When the day of financial reckoning hits the fan remember who put us there!

    Amen Katrina, but at least he’ll be gone. Let’s think about our future. We can’t let Colleen become CFO, and we can’t allow McGovern to be mayor. Anyone know a decent person who will run, and one who has a CFO license?

    He will be appointed before he has to run. So he will be sitting as Mayor until the Election in November.

  19. Thank God Doherty is out of here. I hope he takes Colleen Connolly with him. She is very rude and unprofessional. Maybe she can go back to Merri Makers making hors d’oeurves.

    Hmmm. Average Joe I think you’re right. I’m calling it a CFO license but it could be called something else. Colleen is taking courses to be eligible for the job I hear.

    Background check for all financial position(s) in Belmar should be the first requirement, especially an applicant who a Superior Court Judge deemed as NOT CREDIBLE.

    #10 Katrina, your comment is spot on. First thing that came to mind when I saw the news was the public till he will now have access to in his position with CRDA – he is probably drooling at the prospects of that.
    Financial reckoning for Belmar is just around the corner and I sincerely hope the Belmar residents work hard leading up to November to right the ship of this precious little town that is tilting into some rough financial waters under this current administration.

    #24 My understanding is that Executive Directors and Deputies are not allowed to hold public office, but the Murphy Administration has agreed to let Doherty stay on for a few more months to wind things down. The good news is that I don’t expect him to stay past June. The bad news is that he can, and no doubt will, do a lot of damage between now and then.

    Ken, Are the rules that govern the dual office holding so lax that Doherty can be given 90 days to cover his tracks and as you say do a lot of additional damage? What is there to ‘wind down’ that is so crucial that only the one who made the mess can do it?

    Would a Governor get involved with us?
