Christie wishes everyone would forget this:Gov. Chris Christie Marks Second Anniversary Of Hurricane Sandy

 

But at least we all seem to have forgotten this:

    HaHa, district 4 got snookered by Matt Doherty and Mark Fitzgerald. Next I have water front property in Arizona if anyone in district 4 is interested. I guarantee it doesn’t flood!

    Does that mean we’re getting the $6.1 mil…or most of it?

    Dissent, even in the form of ridicule is not hate speech. It is political speech and exactly the kind of speech the First Amendment was written to protect.

    BTW, if sending a comment under a recognizable name of someone in town, please include your email so I know it’s really that person.

    I have discussed the blog with a lawyer who is a regular reader and was told what I do here is well within my rights. There is nothing here that would even come close to defamation.

    Mark I agree about using my real name and have berated Dishonest Dave, and others for the same thing. I would hope good dialogue and debate could be had between us and if it ever comes to that you will know who I am.

    Often comes close to libel and when you or a poster cross that line, you will end up in court regardless of what your lawyer reader says. Please remove my posts on this thread. You do not allow the feature for a commenter to edit or remove a prior post so it must be done by you as the administrator. Thank you.

    Mark, teddy ehmann ended up in court on a bogus harassment charge for using his name. And now again on the same bogus charge, so you can see Jim’s point, if you are fair you will see it if not I suggest the other Belmar blog is for you.

    Anonymous-what’s unethical about being truthful? what antics? don’t I have a right to speak my mind when my name is constantly mentioned? My sense is that you think people can post whatever they wish, and I don’t have a right to respond….

    #15 I was not referring to the unethical antics on this site I was referring to the council’s actions, if you need specifics you are really blinded by your ideology. I never said anything about speaking opinions and never said you did not have a right to speak.

    #1 There is not any waterfront property in Arizona that is guaranteed not to flood. If so please advise me.
    To others who constantly raise the issue of unethical behavior by various elected members of the governing body of Belmar, other than your disagreement with what those members have done, show me the proof and/or agreement by a judicial body of any unethical behavior!

    I am seriously trying to understand the comments back and forth. I figured out that on another post Jim Bean, candidate 2014 for mayor criticized Claire Deicke, the campaign manager for the other candidate for allowing a mailer to go out stating something blatantly false. Basically hardball negative campaign technique. Claire changed the subject and used her comments to prove her being a good neighbor to the Beans. Is that it?
    Mark Fitzgerald wrote a response, no longer on the site and now is threatening libel suits. Is that it?
    Mark is an appointed official on the Board of Adj. if anyone has a bone to pick they should contact him and resolve it. If Claire had nothing to do with the political attack, she should state so and refrain from changing the subject and putting Jim and Tracy on the defensive. Jim needs to stop giving poor advice and wearing his heart on his sleeve.

    Its a shame that the real children are not the Beans’! Seems to be very partisan and typical of Democrats unfortunately, can’t understand why they can’t respect an opposite point of view maybe they are very insecure?

    To be fair, what I put up here goes beyond simply a different point of view, I make public evidence of where I believe they fall short of best practices and transparency. But I don’t really like it to get personal, and I would prefer the folks on both sides just stick to the actual issues.

    Thanks to everyone for your advice-#21-wasn’t another point of view I responded to…..it was an incorrect assessment-for all who posted- I did answer what was needed to be answered in an earlier response, on another subject/ post..didn’t hedge-go back and check-as always, Thanks, Dave, for posting my answers to questions asked of me on this blog..you could have easily not posted my thoughts..I don’t like it to get personal, either-but, unfortunately, from the beginning, the initial post regarding these issues didn’t begin with me-as you well know..

    In my opinion, Belmar acting as a charitable organization and then disbursing those collected funds as they see fit is unethical. Here’s a gift card…please vote for this guy. What a joke.
