You can be pretty certain that within a few minutes of this mayor actually taking “buy a board” money and putting it towards the pavilions, the first lawsuit will be filed.
From the APP article: “No one actually bought a board; they bought a board that has their name on it that’s on the boardwalk,” he said. (He being Mayor Doherty) Weasel words!
It is all still online regarding Buy-A-Board Campaign specifics.

Now read it and weep.
Signature Pavilions! You know that if you buy a named brand, you have to pay more. In the last FEW weeks, The flyers, posters and yes, even letter to the editor support spending 7 million for ( not two municipal buildings) the John Taylor Pavilion and the Howard Howland Pavilion. The brand , obviously is everything. Now you can spend 4 million for lovely, brand new pavilions but for a limited time only, for only 3 million dollars ( including shipping) you can have name brands.
“The first thing I have to do is protect the taxpayers of Belmar. There would have been no burden on the taxpayer had it not been for the lawsuit,” Doherty said.”
In other words: “We would have gotten away with breaking state law and keeping that money for ourselves if Kenny hadn’t told on us.”
The Mayor’s math….
The mayor took the amount not to be reimbursed and divided it not by the taxpayers but rather by the residents.
Good luck collecting. If the mayor had created the environment of arbitration and mediation with the folks he professes to “protect” none, I repeat, none of this would be happening. He has only himself to BLAME for the resulting lawsuits.

The plot thickens…
To bad the Press won’t mention the elephant in the room, namely the indefensible engineering costs. Time to write a letter to the editor.
When will they finally break out the silver bracelets?
The pavilions will never be built under this administration. Time for a change…

Hey, when our share of those “kids” pouring across the border get here, it will only cost us 45 cents!
