   Thank you for providing this article. I could not remember how the bond question was worded since I had already returned my ballot to the Board of elections. Now I know why I did not feel confused over the wording….it is not confusing. I also fail to see how it abridged my civil rights. To me this is just another good example of obstructionist tactics. I find most Belmar residents to be quit intelligent, you know, capable of making an informed decision all on their own.

   I too find most residents “quit” intelligent. However, Tom Burke isn’t one of them.

   #1 The point is a judge found it confusing according to law. You will vote yes….no matter what. Why not “quit” now?

   #1. Burke continues to ignore the obvious that the judge ruled due to the FACT that appointed officials did this without proper involvement of the elected council. Thus he is signaling how he would behave as an elected official in short,”what difference does it make ?”

   The civil rights of all Belmartians was violated …. even those who drink the kool-aid.

   Burke’s comment shows how as a council member he would ignore the LAW and just do what he likes, he fits in perfect with the mayor.

    “Ultra vires” is modus operandi for these people. Now, how to get the sleeping voters to wake up? Perhaps a theoretical example of losing one’s civil rights that resonates for everyone? Once it starts, when does it end?

    So if Belmar residents can make informed decisions why did our Mayor feel the need to “explain” the wording on the ballot? Without due process to the public. The ruling was to throw out the entire explanation and if I’m reading the decision right the civil rights aspect hasn’t been decided yet
