    Birdsall? Where have I heard that before? Belmar-Birdsall-Pay-To_Play, where have I heard the three in the same sentence before?

    Pay to play laws keep everything transparent. Doherty just took that all away with his revised ordinance weakening everything. Still very dark at Boro Hall.

    We know Birdsall Services appears to have been a preferred provides for Belmar, even after initial indictment information was becoming public knowledge our association with Birdsall continued. The recent guilty pleas I presume is an indicator of the volume of evidence gathered by the prosecutor’s office. What I don’t know is if in the eye of the law only Birdsall is criminally liable for their role in the pay-to-play scheme, or if the corresponding private individuals or municipal employees identified in the evidence against Birdsall are equally open to criminal action.

    You know there’s a reason why none of those contributions from Birdsall employees were made in Belmar.

    Birdsall was free to give. Candidates couldn’t accept without being barred from voting on development issues.

    And our council voted to strip ordinance when they couldn’t even explain why. Let’s not except this lying down

    I wonder how many council members voted “yes” because the mayor remained in the room after recusing himself. Was his presence intimidating to anyone?
