More Budgetary Incontinence

Volunteer budget bloodhound Ted Ehman has sent me a new list emergency expenditures that he can not find in any of the bonds, and amazingly, can not find in any of the FEMA claims.  So it looks like we’ll be paying these this year.

Look at some of this stuff.  $13,000 for “Ringers Authentic” gloves.  @$20 each that’s 650 gloves.  $5000 for bleach.  And I don’t have any idea what “Structured Borker Boots” are but they must be great because they cost you $41,000.

All this, $1,283,037  in total, is on top of the tens of millions in spending that has been bonded already.  Just with this nearly $1.3 million every one of Belmar’s approximately 2500 families could have bought a new dishwasher.  A nice one.

    I thought the shop rite gift cards were donated.

    The cards were purchased and distributed at the direction of the mayor. This was before there there was ever a dedication by rider vote on the expenditure. It was not even known about until Jim Bean found the check to Shop-Rite in the manual check register. I believe most, if not all, were handed out at the senior bldg.

    It has not, to my knowledge, been made public if the funds for them were donated or from tax money. Even if they were donated however, they become the property of the town and must be spent openly, publicly and according to the law.

    “Mar-13 Jersey Barriers $15,815”

    Do you know what this line item is for? I have heard that the cement barriers were loaned from the county and once they were painted, the township was required to buy them. Any idea if this is true? if yes, were there any other expenditures & who authorized? just curious. thank you
