    What do all 3 mentioned above have in common? It’s not that hard to figure out. Besides being superstars in their own minds…..they are leaching copious amounts of money from the tax payers in addition to the hefty pensions they are collecting….go figure who has more dirt on who?

    So do other towns not have traffic lights because they don’t have “connections” to Monmouth County and don’t have access to the services of an electrician?

    Well that answers my first question I had for Brennan on the zoom meeting about the misleading “confidential assistant “ position given to the incompetent acting chief Huisman. I wonder what the state thinks about an unlicensed electrician hot wiring traffic boxes? I also assume that he doesn’t care about the free boat slip Boatgate involving the other two. Brennan will not be re-elected. Vote for Jerry.

    A way above dumb statement number one. I’m sure you could have contacted a licensed electrician to perform the task. Shows your absolute above average desire to hire your “buddy”.

    My comment applies here as well:

    There is a story that goes something like this, simplified: a drowning man treading water was praying for God to rescue him. A boat came near to help but the guy refused the help, saying that he is waiting for God to help him. Duh…what is wrong with simply being thankful for help in whatever guise it appears? Nitpick and gripe all you want out of hatred for the current administration, but I am grateful for the actions by these guys.

    This must be Brennan’s idea of pre-damage-control prior to his lockstep yes vote to hire Huisman.

  12. #4 Aggrandizement is the perfect word for all these clowns! #9 -This is definitely a preemptive move by Mr. Brennan to try to shine a positive light on some overpaid borough employees. He just lost my vote – among many others. Do we really need someone to repeatedly “ask” JCP&L to come? Agree with you, #10. That whole post would be laughable, if it wasn’t so deplorable.

    #10 JCP&L spent plenty of money for updates after Sandy. I think their updates weren’t good enough.

    13 – As a note, JCP&L made those upgrades after being approved by The Board of Public Utilities to pass their costs onto the rate payers.

    Brennan’s only saving grace to get re-elected was to denounce this hiring and say he is looking into the free boat slips for all escapade. He has not done so and will not be re elected.

    The borough has interlocal agreements as well as agreements with the county emergency management that you use during times of crisis and storms like the tropical storm that just passed. This has nothing to do with inside connections or anything of the sort. Any municipality can call the county for assistance like sign boards, lighting, law-enforcement – realistically anything they need – that’s part of municipal emergency management and county emergency management agreements. nobody really did anything special don’t let Tom Brennan fool you.

    Did Belmar violate NJ Labor laws by letting our friend work without workman’s compensation insurance? This should be asked at the next council meeting. We should also pull Drew’s time card to see if he was paid for this day as well.

    If Belmar workers were provided free slips that should be taxable income at both the state and federal level. Is is possible to opra emails related to boat slips with the person who managed marina at the time to see if workers were offered to use the slips at no charge?

    You should all make sure you join the “Belmar/Lake Como/West Belmar Residents” Facebook Group. A lot of your favorite ‘bad actors’ are all there in one place and we take them on regularly. It’s a group made up of local business owners and residents exclusively. Eleven-hundred plus strong and growing. They can no longer ignore us.

    Grow a pair and take them on in a public forum like our Founding Members and concerned residents do regularly. Take a look at the “updates for group members” topic section and read the “1000 member update” first and you’ll be believers. 😉

    Maybe they should’ve just given him a different job at PD, some special assistant position, so he could help with DJai’s and alike.

    This isn’t the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy where tourism & Mayor were “Come to Belmar, we’re open”. There’s so many disregards for the locals who may be immunocompromised and living their best lives here by those BENNYs. Shut down the bars and rentals because no one seems to care about anyone more than themselves. And before he says anything, yes, sexist old man Dilberger, I’m a woman.

    The Djais Fencing Encampment is a joke , did this get town approval? Simple question should be easy to answer . Did they require a variance to the fence height ? Again should be simple enough. Did they have a Building inspection Before / after or during Construction? If the answer is no to all then why is it Permited ? Let’s not even get started to an unlicensed electrician working on state DOT equipment, what if his fixed failed and as result we had a traffic accident with a fatality? These are serious questions that need to addressed. If they have time to come up with a phony job for One if there own than this should should easy.

    Djais is in constant violation. Power washing of their porch, patio and sidewalks on Saturday and Sunday at six in the morning. Noise and music which can be heard all the way out to the waterline. Did Frank get approval for the giant old Djais sign to be be placed in the back of the parking lot? Where is the Shush Patrol which is a condition for Djais to operate their liquor license?
