As to their lawyer’s complaint about the new administration passing the ordinances….
Well how about we just point out that the last administration’s pro high density housing ordinances were antithetical to Belmar’s long standing pro single family homes building ordinances. Clearly the last administration made an error. Yay for the towns return to normalcy!!!
I agree with Mr. McEvoy about how the Doherty administration gave Chefs International a long, sweetheart deal totally eliminating any other venders throughout the entire marina. I say back door deals were absolutely made.
How about the sweetheart deal afforded to (Deleted by Editor.), storage trailers and boat storage on boro property. What’s the fee for all of that? Mayor Jerry? Harbor Commissioners Brennan and Levi’s?
How about the black van that’s been parked in front of the marina office for years? Never seen it move. I would love to know the deal here. Thank you.
It’s not an assumption, we all take em. It is those that don’t realize it, that are the ones so angry about it. Like it or not, you benefit, either directly or indirectly, from many of these examples. And before you say something like, “these aren’t handouts!” They are as much a ‘handout’ as any other tax payer funder government program. Including affordable housing subsidies. I know you aren’t happy about it, but it is true.

No, like YOU #9
#8 is an AMERICAN – from huge farm subsidies to SS all Americans receive some form of federal assistance. The tax breaks for billionaires – that one we should vote to undo and let them return to paying the tax rates that they did in “the good old days,” when America was great…
…and George McGill has already found two errors in the contract that the judge forced Belmar to agree to that the former Dasti Law Firm never even seemed to notice before signing.
They were too busy working on contracts and fees that entertained the developers and violated state laws. You know, like underground parking in a flood zone for the Repetti Family or charging businesses $1,500 for their tourism fees when the maximum allowable at the time was $100 and so on. We now have them to thank for the paid parking around the lake in our neighborhood being extended for at least a year to make up for the extensive refunds to local business owners.
It seems Walsifer/Kirschenbaum and “team” were even more inept and asleep at the wheel than previously thought. You really have to work at, be highly distracted, or simply not show up to do work to be that incongruent in the leadership category. Probably all three and then some. As my Jewish mother would say, Kirschenbaum isn’t a “klutz”, he’s a “********”.
#11 You are ill informed. Billionaires take tax breaks afforded to them by congress. I paid for SS all my life. My employers did also. What was the tax rate in the good old days.? When Kennedy was president? Then it was almost something like 70% for rich people. Then liberal Kennedy woke up and knew high tax rate =low taxes paid. Government’s fault
13…. The tax rates on the wealthiest Americans are public records and the top rate of 70% was cut massively in 1981 and again in 1986 a the Reagan eta not Kennedy.
My point is that WE are the government so voting and who you elect is a direct line to the policies we live with.
SS and all government programs are a good aspect of socialism that we employ in our republic and should benefit all Americans – not only the wealthiest when so many basic human rights are not being met by US – the voters who elect and form the government.
We only have ourselves to blame and to also force change.
#13 when faced with reality, people like you always cry ‘socialist!’. It’s your go to insult. And like all forms of insults, there is a healthy dose of projection. It’s easy to whine about social programs for the poor. They are an easy target, it’s what you hear in your echo chamber, and it helps you sleep at night. The truth is we ALL benefit from government programs. You, me, every American. You can bitch and moan all you like. It doesn’t change that fact. Roads, cops, courts, boardwalks, the military, and on and on and on and on are ALL forms of socialism. Trying to pretend that they aren’t? Well, that’s un-American
#16 a compelling argument. Let me guess, captain of the debate team in high school?
#17 ok, please explain how I’m ‘wrong’. You benefit from government programs. The most popular government programs are, by definition, socialism. There is a growing number of people in this country that confuse socialism with communism.
Even private insurance models are based on socialist practices. The well subsidize the sick. The good drivers subsidize the bad. You, like many others, think that socialism is bad, full stop. What you don’t realize is that a socialist model is behind most of the success of this great country.
#18 The success of this country is from capitalism. It’s not a matter of the well subsidize the sick. It’s because that’s the way the insurance companies make money. They play the odds. House / car insurance is rated by experience using statistics/math models. Your words concerning socialism is BS.
#19 I understand that this challenges your whole philosophy, but it is true. Yes, capitalism is our economic model. And yes, capitalism has many benefits for competition, wealth, and success. However, our government, while structurally representative, is, operationally socialist. Without our government’s many socialist programs (highway system, local roads, bank insurance, fema, social security, medicare, law enforcement, port operations, copyright laws, FDA, US mint, etc etc etc etc) our capitalist economic system would collapse. I get that it is hard to accept because, hey, who are you going to be mad at now. But you know it’s true. Every time you cross a bridge, drive on a road, use a bank, buy a stock, step on a ladder, eat a steak, or call a cop, you are taking advantage of a government program that is paid for by tax dollars, whether you use it or not. Socialism.
#19 yes, our financial system is capitalism. And yes, capitalism is unmatched for innovation, competition, wealth, and prosperity.
Our government, operationally, is socialism and you benefit from it every day.
Whether driving over a bridge (DOT), climbing a ladder (OSHA), depositing money (FDIC), filling your tank (oil co subsidies), eating a steak (FDA), or calling a cop (government security), you are benefiting from socialism. I know it is a tough pill to swallow when you’ve been told by your news source that socialism is evil!!!, but once you educate yourself you’ll see that it is far from it. Communism, Dictatorships, Theocracy, all bad. A capitalist economic system with governmental socialist programs, that’s the U.S.A. baby. And May God Bless it.
#22 – Well said sir. Alinsky was a commie agitator.
————————————–
The real catastrophe of our nation was when Pres. Wilson created the FED. That’s what led to our involvement in all the wars of the 20th-21st centuries that were/are none of our affair. Make no mistake, The FED is the stake in the heart of America and Western Civilization.
————————————–
In my lifetime, there have only been two true men who were President of the United States, Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon. The rest of them are all traitors. Maybe not this one we have now. It’s hard to tell because he’s so far into senility. But his advisers/handlers are certainly traitors.
#22 I think maybe you should Google it. It basically proves my point.
1.”Take control of Healthcare”. The vast majority of US citizens have private health insurance. In case you don’t understand, that means not government. Government insurance is Medicare (65 and over) and Medicaid (poor people. You must qualify and it ain’t good). Both Medicare and Medicaid are often administered by private companies.
No one HAS to enroll in Medicare. You can buy insurance on the open market. Go ahead and do that. No one will stop you.
3.”Increase the debt”. Well you have me there. During the Trump admin the debt ceiling was raised three times with no preconditions. And that was a one term prez. Damn GOP.
6.”Take control of what people read and listen to”- Ok that’s true, but that’s only in Florida.
7.”Religion remove faith and God from government and schools”- Again, you got me there. What the hell were the founding fathers thinking with that damn establishment clause in the first amendment?!? Oh right, they were fleeing the state run oppression of the Church of England.
You might like Iran. God is all up in their government.
Maybe read and try to understand things before you tell people to google them. Just a suggestion.
Nothing much last night. There was some talk of people who can’t afford to live in a certain area, AKA, “Affordable Housing.”
Why can’t we all just be the same?
Where’s Rodney King to bring in some sanity. Oh yeah, he’s dead.

#s 1&2 so happy to take your gov’t handouts but heaven forbid someone else does.
