    Would want to know her stance on few things before giving her my vote ?

    1) The hiring of the form chief to a made up position?
    2) The growing backyard area at DJais along with non approved Wall and Containers ? That would be a good OPRA. All site plans since a year before Sandy
    The back area has grown like weed , you would think they would have had to file some sort of site plan if only for license renewal
    These are just two current issues that are at hand that anyone running should be able to address. I’m sure DR Kinney is reading this blog so she can feel free to respond.
    Also her feeling on the Bridge to nowhere at the lake .

    There is a $50 per quarter ($200 per year) assessment on all buildings/dwellings with more than 1 unit that do not have separate water meters. This is in addition to your normal water bill.
    I was assessed $200 for my unit.
    I would like to know if this is going to be a permanent fee ? We already pay for water and now the assessment on top of it.

    Campbell SR must go!!! Yesterday I pulled into the parking lot to pickup something from the boro and witnessed him screaming and cursing at one of his DPW employees. There were several other workers out there as well. It was shocking to watch this and I literally got back into my car without going in. I cannot understand how this man is allowed to treat employees in such a disgusting manner. I hope someone reports him but then again it’s nothing new to the administration and they are all friends.

    Ladies & Gentlemen, The point with Mr. Campbell is and always has been that he was/is a man who never did manual labor in his life given a job by people who never did manual labor in their life. So, in that he is in an area of work he has zero background in, such blowups are to be expected. Remember, a few years ago he had a crossing guard fired for doing his job the way it was supposed to be done.

    #9- The admin censored my post yesterday – understandably so because I offered identifying information about the victim. I agree with the admin’s decision because the story should be vetted before a victim is named by an anonymous source. My apologies to the admin and thank you for protecting this victim.

    Here is an edited version that I trust will not be censored:
    This story is even worse than you’ve imagined. I am friends with the family of the employee who you witnessed being abused.

    The story is EGREGIOUS. Campbell called this employee horrible names, screamed curses at him, and purposefully humiliated him in front of others.

    And this wasn’t even the first time! It will ALL come to light soon.

    Campbell MUST be terminated for CAUSE immediately. Campbell’s enablers have been aware of Campbell’s mistreatment of his employees and these enablers are COMPLICIT.

    ALL WITNESSES MUST listen to their consciences and COME FORWARD. REPORT them to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office!

    These employees are working in a hostile environment on OUR dime! I am FURIOUS that my tax dollars are paying for the abuse of our town’s employees!

    We must demand Justice for Belmar employees who are working in a hostile environment!

    TERMINATE Campbell’s employment effective immediately. Investigate the enablers and REMOVE*FIRE*TERMINATE ALL corrupt actors from our payroll.

    Are we not better than this?!

    Want to know why 3rd party candidates keep running in Belmar? Because the citizens can’t tell the difference between the political parties the way they govern. It seems like nothing has changed between Doherty and Walsifer. Same crap happening at townhall. At least Doherty didn’t raise taxes. My water bill is so high now I think twice about washing my car.

    There are some supporters on this site that will defend anything as long as it’s their political party doing it. They could be drowning puppies and you would argue that they might grow up and bit a child.

    Only in government do prices go up. inflation is caused by the Fed Reserve. Stop tell me I should be happy with higher prices, higher taxes, and crummy service. The town looks a mess. Garbage all over main st.

    Another well known Belmar family was affected by Campbell this Summer when their teenage son was fired from DPW after being with them 4 years for saying a word that’s not taken nicely in this day in age. In the kids defense. All teenagers use this word changing the “er” at the end to an “a” if you catch my drift. In no way do I condone this or approve but it’s what kids do in jest with each other. If this kid gets fired for that then Campbell should be fired for verbal abuse.

    Campbell was outed ONLY because a resident saw and heard his tirade against Colton. Colton was so upset he asked Campbell if he could call his Dad. Campbell went off screaming “Be a man you’re not calling you F’n Dad” then Campbell proceeded to make fun of Colton’s man bun implying he was gay. This man is one horrible human.

    No one should be treated so inhumanely. My heart goes out to Colton and his family. I’ve watched Colton make great strides working for the DPW and watched him grow into a fine young man. For Campbell to take away his dignity by mentally abusing him is in no way a representation of the type of employee we need in Belmar or anywhere for that matter. Campbell’s behavior needs to be recognized by the Mayor as intolerable and he needs to be terminated immediately. What if it was your son Mayor? Do the right thing for Belmar and more importantly for Colton. Let the employees know they are protected from this devil once and for all. Then get rid of Huisman and next Kirschenbaum. In that order. Then you may gain my respect.

    Well well well. I too agree Colton needs justice and the way to do that is to vote out Brennan and vote in Gerry. I assure you Gerry will not stand for this crap. He has no allegiance to a party. No allegiance to Wallie, or Hman or Campbell. A vote for Kinney, another republican is a slap in Colton’s face. She will do NOTHING but agree with Wallie and yes yes yes every vote. Has she even spoken up at a meeting? And I’m sure Gerry can direct Colton to a great attorney specializing in Hostile Work Environment lawsuits. I hope Wallie gets the message when Tommie leaves. Oh, mayor, what exactly is Hman’s employment status again??? Full time? Part time? Part time on a full time salary?? Criminal if you ask me. God rest his sole but didn’t Campbell fire crossing guard Joe LaTesta for using impropery language. Surely Campbell will know what justice is when he gets fired. Didn’t he once take an oath of “justice for all”?

    Lastly, when/if he is terminated a man should be selected from within the ranks of the existing DPW personell. There should be no more bringing in outsiders to the job.

    Hey HMM. I don’t know for a fact but assume the best in that the kids probably makes less than 40k and, being that he is probably a dedicated, hard working person, the remainder is overtime.

    I’m voting for Jerry too!

    What we don’t need is another YES person to add to this already failing council. We need someone like Jerry as an Independent, who will be a watchdog for all the citizens of Belmar.

    I’m sure you are a nice person Jodi, perhaps even a great mother and a successful business owner but, it’s not enough for what we need at this time. We have real problems in this town and the mayor is NOT doing enough. Worse yet, the council is NOT listening to US citizens of Belmar.

    I’m voting for Jerry because he will work for US. He has proven this already by standing up for US at the meetings and questioning the motives of this mayor and council. If you care about this town like you say then you should put your efforts behind Jerry as well.

    Ladies & Gentlemen, You’re not really talking about these particular men here. You’re talking about a misunderstanding of the idea of a man doing manual labor. Once we made the idea of work into the accumulation of dollars rather than doing the work well, the door was opened to these type men. Work is supposed to define a man. Once that concept is done away with as has happened throughout our society, the workplace and the standards of a well run workplace are destroyed and these unfit men seize their opportunity and are put into positions of authority by other unfit men like themselves.
