This behavior can not and should not be tolerated. Stevie is and has always been a bully. He should be forced to resign after what he did last night.

I did get a huge laugh when he accused the council of appointing political hacks. Just what do you think Bellu is? What do you think Lacey is?

No wonder Brick is in such bad shape. Politics and political favors before the taxpayers. And for Scott to get up and walkout because Steve told him to because Steve didnt get his way, maybe its time to replace him too. We cam surely see where his loyalties lie.

Please tell me this whole thing will be on BTV? It will get better ratings than Honey Boo Boo!

This is the ideal replacement for MTV's Jersey Shore.
Imagine Acropolis accusing someone of wanting to eliminate township positions to appoint "political hacks".
Toth now wants to eliminate these expensive/unnecesary positions, but does he get a free pass, for not speaking up when they were put there in the first place and his helping hand in the liquor store problem, could raise one's eyebrows on that connection. Wish he would have spoken up when township employee's cars were photograpghed because they had D's bumper stickers on their personal cars and told they couldn't use the township parking lot.
Ducey who disappointed us with his flip flop on taking insurance, did to the Mayor, what the Mayor had done on several occassions to Scarpelli, reminding him he's a "guest" a these meetings.
Imagine the position that poor cop was in. Think he was worried about being employed the next day ?
While the Mayor may want to leave the meeting, to insist the township BA & Attorney
leave also, was disgraceful and a slap in the face to the taxpayers.

The meeting was like watcing an off,off,off, Broadway Play .Bad actors and all!

For those who were not in the audience, when the Mayor was being approached by a good natured and frightened special police officer to be escorted out, Acropolis yelled, “Vinnie, if you put a hand on me, I'll sue everybody here,”. AT THAT POINT OUR POLICE CHIEF, WHO IS A RELITIVE OF THE MAYOR, went up the side of the chambers and whispered into the Mayor’s ear. I can imagine what was said and IMMEDIATELY the Mayor backed off a confrontation with the special police officer. Thank you Chief.

Wish I could of been there to see the newest Democrat-Dan Toth

business as usual in Brick

Is anyone else embarrassed and ashamed that this is what we have running our town?

Funny how short the Mayors memory is. He forgets tell Mayor Scarpelli to sit down and shut up Becuase he was a guest of the council.

From the beginning I wondered why we needed another head of the Recreation Dept. who when hired was making $90,000.00. We had a director there and many workers who did the job to run the dept. This new hire was a friend of Mayor Acropolis. This position was not needed. Yet, he has been in this position for many years making over $100,000.00. My husband has been working in the same job for 29 years and is not making that much. Mayor, it's time to move on. The people spoke at the last election. You have not saved us any money over these years you have been in office. I did vote for you thinking you were going to do a good job, only to see how you lied right to people and became a bully.

I cannot believe the comments I am reading about this story. Either these are from all the same person posting over and over again as different people or we have a truly sad state of affairs in this town when people after being at this meeting, or reading this article, find it appropriate to bash the Mayor and namecall. This Council is acting outside the law repeatedly. They are repeatedly warned by the township attorney that these votes they take can result in lawsuits, but THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want to punish Acropolis any way they can. It's a microcosm of what Obama is doing via Executive Orders! Forget Congress, forget the Constitution. There are rules and LAWS for a reason. I cannot believe the behavior and disrespect shown last night for the LAW and the OFFICE of Mayor. Ducey should step down from office!!!!! He does NOT deserve to hold the honorable position of Council President. WHAT A DISGRACE!!! Acropolis never treated Scarpelli like that!!!!! Anyone applauding this behavior should be ashamed of themselves. It's not all about politics, people. It's not all about winning and losing. This is about our town! We should not stand for this type of bullying of our Mayor and our laws! Unbelievable!

I now know from reading this that apparently threatening an officer is now something accepted in Brick. Our Mayor does not respect authority, or the council, not to mention the people in our town. He should step down, doesn't he realize that his power is dwindling down. I just hope this doesn't end like last time. You know where the council was standing up to our corrupt mayor and finally caring about what out town needs and they backed down, after some sort of understanding that council president and the mayor came too. Something needs to be done and I hope the council doesn't cave to our mayors bullying. Lastly, please let there be a fine at the very least for threatening a police officer!!! Unless our goal is to let the people of Brick know, the police officers do not hold authority and do not deserve respect.

I will admit it, I voted for Ducey in the last election. But in actuality, I would've voted for a clown if he was on the ballot. Oh wait, I did vote for a clown. I'm ashamed. Ducey seems to have some serious power issues!

See what happens when you squeeze a pig, they start to squeal real loud. Political hacks??? LMMFAO, Juan is the king of hacks, Denny D has been asking for two years what he does to earn 150k and no one can answer, must be nice to collect 3k a week for a no show job, and then not pay your taxes on top of that. Time for Steve and Juan and Dave and Jim and this hack attorney Jean to leave, Brick is sick of your arrogant, pom-pas, bullying, tax payer strangling ways, the PEOPLE have spoke and they are saying loud and clear we are sick and tired of this administration from Foodtown scam, red light camera scam, Traders Cove scam, Ice Palace scam, we've had enough!!!! Step down immediately or be forced out. Wonder who took money from Federal Hill Risk Management aka Frank Gartland when the Brick BOE and Housing Authority had insurance policies with this crooked corrupt insurance provider??? Inquiring minds want to know????

I wonder if a citizen in the audience was thrown out of the meeting and said this to the officer if the results would have been the same. I have a feeling they would have been thrown out and arrested. How does the mayor get away with breaking the law in front of hundreds of witnesses?

The pair’s voices grew louder and louder until they were shouting at one another, at which point Ducey asked a special police officer to remove Acropolis from the council chambers.

“If anyone puts their hands on me, if you put your hands on me,” Acropolis said, at which point Ducey cut him off, shouting, “He’s threatening an officer! You can’t threaten an officer!”

“Vinnie, if you put a hand on me, I'll sue everybody here,” said Acropolis, referring to the officer

Good for John Ducey and council members for standing up to the Mayor. It must have been a heated meeting. Look forward to the seeing the re-run on TV.

I'm taking my ball and going home, I won't play unless I can win every time, some things never change.

Just out of curiosity, When is the Mayor and current council members up for re-election?

This is just my opinion, BUT everyone needs to forget about whether these people (councilman, mayor, etc.) are Democrats or Republicans. The truth of the matter is that in local gov't neither sticks to the core principles of either party. For example, the Democrat council members are looking to reduce the size of gov't which is part of the Republican philosophy. Our Republican mayor in the past has always pushed for tax increases and gov't expansion, which is part of the Democrat philosophy. In local gov't, politicians typically flip-flop in whichever direction to maintain the support of the taxpayer and get re-elected. Therefore, I think we all need to forget about who's a D and who's a R when it comes to our town. We need to pay much closer to what these people are doing, as opposed to what they are saying.

This political clash is not good for us-this is not a partisan issue. Everyone wants a cost savings but doing it illegally or refusing to compromise is not helpful nor is it going to save us money. Lawsuits by or against town officials are not free. Guess neither really cares.

@DennyD - Maybe I'm mistaken. Did Acropolis have Scarpelli escorted out of any council meetings? If he did, then that was wrong. Maybe I'm naive, but the office of Mayor should at the very least be respected, regardless of who holds it. You don't have to agree politically with that person, but you should be able to coexist and cooperate, for the good of the town. That is not happening here.

I'm sick of this SH*TT. To all that we have elected ...... REPRESENT US and not that of your political origination. I'm proud to be INDEPENDENT and want to do what is right for Brick. We MUST HAVE elected officials that will openly debate issues, present facts and do the best for our community. I'll see you guys at the next Council meeting.

As long as Acropolis is mayor we're not going to see and big cut backs in spending or in gov't because his record of decision-making says he doesn't believe in all of that. The council should do what it can to reduce spending while we are stuck with Acropolis. But what we really need is someone to run against Acropolis in the next election that is the polar opposite of Acropolis when it comes to spending and the size of gov't. Personally, I would LOVE to see someone new come in, meet with all the department heads and say, "take a look at your budgets and present me a plan were you can reduce your department's budget by 20%. You reduce it or I will do it for you." That is the attitude we need.

And anyone who says their department can't cut back in any way b/c they are operating with the bare minimum is full of crap. If the taxpayer has to re-work their personal budgets constantly to deal with the loss of a job, inflation, tax increases, etc. SO CAN THE GOV'T.

*** p.s. Pardon my spelling and grammatical errors. There's a few in that last post.

From the article:

"If anyone puts their hands on me, if you put your hands on me,” Acropolis said, at which point Ducey cut him off, shouting, “He’s threatening an officer! You can’t threaten an officer!”

WTH???? Acropolis should have been arrested on the spot!

Holy smokes, I always know Toth was hiding something. He is in the liquor business and lets see. He wanted special favors to push his stuff thru..............HMMMMMM

Well if the Mayor vetos the ordinance it would need a super majority to be overrules. That would be 5-2. the vote went down 4-3. So if he does veto the measure, it will not matter they do not have the super majority to pass it. In any event this will be in court for years , nothing will happen for a long time.

I think the mayor and entire council are an embarrasment. They all need to go. Just a bunch of babies. Who needs any of them. Forget doing what's right for the township and citizens. They just do want is right for themselves and their friends. Losers one and all.

The good people of Brick Township elected the Mayor and the council to run the town honestly and efficiently. We understand that being in elected office is a very tough job. It takes a commitment that most citizens either aren't willing to make, or they are just unable to make, because of time and resources. We entrusted these public representatives to do what is best for all taxpayers, not what is going to make the most money for the Republican and Democrat parties and their members.

To the Mayor and Council, thank you for serving and thank you for your time, but please do what is in the best interest of the taxpayers, not your political parties.

Most of all, Please be Honest.

The comments posted show the feelings of many townspeople… pro Acropolis/Republicans or pro Ducey/Democrats. If Democrats are really reorganizing to create positions for their own friends, then nothing has changed except for the players. And most residents are fed up with the same old, same old! If real change is wanted, consider the following: non-partisan government; term limits (would need a change to the charter approved by the Legislature); election by wards and at-large so each section of town could have their own representative; a cap on capital spending beyond which public approval would be needed; a true ethics committee that does not consist of politicians, but rather members of the clergy and registered independents of the community to avoid partisan bias; (continued below)

(continued from above) a complete review of all township jobs by a competent and independent consultant; a plan to phase out superfluous jobs in a way to cause minimal impact to those being displaced; consolidating departments such as the Public Works, Board of Education and BTMUA garages to avoid duplication; create an environment where suggestions by the people are considered seriously, with rewards given to those ideas which result in tangible savings to the township; hiring qualified professionals competitively on the basis of lowest cost rather than partisan affiliation; any new jobs created must pass the scrutiny of a citizens advisory board and the ethics committee; etc. Some may say such change would intrude on why we have elected officials, but considering the quagmire our local government is in, we know the status quo isn't working. We can change it from the ground up and give Brick a fresh start!

And you people get upset when i say Bricktucky is the greatest show on earth! !!!!!

Bye Bye Bellu

A question for anyone to reply to: Why doesn't Mr. Bellu attend any Council meetings? Isn't he like the second highest paid person on the Brick dole? Maybe his Brick position demands him to be in foreign countries or incognito or some other clandestine persona. Just a thought.

So does anyone know what postiton Ducey wants to put old hack Kathy Russel back in town hall at?

just watched council meeting on line....can't find part where mayor was asked to leave.????????????????

I hope the mayor does not order the meeting to be cut and snipped and allows us to watch the entire meeting.

i found it...............lololo

bellu doesnt attend cause he is probobally sitting on steves yacht or in the other so called businesses they own together

Stevie Boy and Little Scottie sure are fighting very hard for Juan Bellus job.....so much so they are willing to give up the last of their reputation to so.....do you wonder why ?

I wasn't there, but threatening someone with a lawsuit if hands were put on them is not a crime. If physical harm was threatened or physical resistance was met during an attempt at removal of a person from a public meeting as a result of causing a disturbance occurred, then charges could be forthcoming. It doesn't appear to have reached that level from what I am reading. The situation sounds like it was ugly, but not a crime. It also sounds like some tact was used by the Chief to diffuse the situation, nothing wrong with that.

http://brick.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=436 Here is the meeting. At the 3hr 06 minute Mr. Scott(a regular) goes up and simply asks a few questions of the Council. Watch the next 6 minutes.

Remember... there is a quid pro quo with Bellu and Acropolis...
Bellu sits as a commissioner at TRMUA...
If he loses his job at Brick... Bellu will remove Acropolis as GM at TRMUA...
That is why Stevie boy is fighting hard..
he is fighting for his job at TRMUA.

Mayor Accropolis is a terrible person and life ruiner. He will get his day along with his good buddy Juan. They both need to go from ALL of their jobs. Stevie is the king of appointing political hacks to jobs and he should just learn to shut his mouth. Obviously he's got something to hide here and we'll all sit back laughing when his day comes.

Wow, lol you've got one hell of a mess there in Brick.

Here is the way I see the Toth deal. It is my understanding that he cannot have any financial interest in anything he votes on , hence the abstains from the votes pertaining to liquor lic. If this liquor store IS his client, then he in no way should have sent emails and or asked any public official to check on the progress of an application, because IF it is his client he would have financial gain in the process. When asked last night if it was his customer he would not answer. Either it is or it is not, which one is it Mr Toth?

Word is Ducuy-doo is gonna hire Russel and Cervasco.

My wife and I attended the meeting and the behavior that was displayedby by our governing body is a disgrace to our town. We the people, need to DEMAND more from our our pubic officials who should be acting as role models on how to handle conflict and disagreement. Instead they act like little children throwing tantrums when they don't get their way. If it wasn't already, it was very apparent last night that some of them are obviously more concerned about their own self interests and egos than for the improvement of the town. Time will tell if the proposed restructuring cuts the fat and ultimately will reduce or at least maintain stable taxes. If it doesn't work, then I guess we can all just expect a new ballot of clowns in the next election.

Councilmen Moore did the right thing last night In his Own words he stated when he stated in a meeting in feb, I keep a pad and a pencil by my bed. "I get it" I realy here were the taxpayers are comming from!

Councilmen Moore last night "You got it right!" your vote showed you are not a puppet of your party! "Bravo Mr Moore Bravo"

Toth, Ducey, Fozman and Lydecker. Remined me of the scarpelli team on the dais!

"TEAM SCARPELLIE HAS RISEN!"
"Toth, Ducey, Fozman, Lydecker and team scarpelli are perfect together"

TO DAN...It is very easy to find out if you are the salesperson to said liquor store. If i was you i WOULD EXPLAIN MYSELF QUICKLY AND TRUTHFULLY. Y ou want to know the the answer to how badly this will turn out please refer th tricky Dick Nixon or Bubba Clinton. OWN up Dan

Joe Kinnevy and Sal said it perfectly. THIS IS ALL A SHOW!! Only 2 people hold those titles they are eliminated and the township will just give them a different title. Everyone knows this including the council. The part you SHOULD be paying attention too is that they are already ADDING unneeded positions like in the Clerks office. As the Mayor said, there will be 3 supervisors now in an office of 6. And I doubt the new "Deputy Township Clerk" will be qualified but I bet they will be a Democrat.. And they are getting their advise from the attorney Starky, the same attorney who used to advise Scarpelli. Look how that turned out... All you people need to WAKE UP, let go of all your past anger and look at what is happening NOW. Stop being so naive and believe the half truths that you here from your friends or even the newspapers!

Dan tell us our you now a new democrat???? you must have cut some sweet deal to become part of the New "TEAM scarpelli"

"TEAM SCARPELLIE HAS RISEN!"
"Toth, Ducey, Fozman, Lydecker and team scarpelli are perfect together"

just fire Bellu (and as a bonus Pezzaras) and then everyone can kiss and makeup and enjoy the traffic and property taxes in Bricktucky....sure seems like one guy is throwing Brick thru a window ......wonder why / who is this guy ?

bring back deluca !!!.....well if you like being talked down to

Acropolis is done. His temper tantrum was plain to see. Do I think the Ds are great? Not really but Steve threw the Rs under the bus last night.

That must have been awesome watching sharks attack each other. You will never see that in nature.

Does anyone know when this meeting will be aired on TV?

After watching the meeting on the internet, all I can say is its a sad time in Brick. Our mayor us such a bully. Why is it he can create and
"appoint" "political hacks" and the tax payers if brick just have to take it in the chin? Why do we have no recourse for his arrogance? He is a mean, vengeful person. I want to make it clear, I am not a D or R, I am NOT employed by the town I just want some relief so I do not lose my home. This town is horrible now. I just don't know what to say, I'm still shaking my head with disbelief

I cant wait until the FBI comes and locks up the whole damn bunch.

Does anyone really think the Town's attorney cares if the employees sue? She, and her boss, are praying that they do. Cha-ching!!!! Does anyone really think that anything is going to change by writing in these blogs? Acropolis, Bellu, Pezzarus, and Lacey all read the blogs, then laugh all the way to the bank. Wake up people. You're being ripped off every hour of every day by this crew. It's hopeless. The crooks are here to stay. Get used to it, and get a second job to help pay for it.

Only the FBI can clean up this mess. We need a massive federal investigation in this town.

yes i agree team scarpellie is back in power. so the fbi will not be far behind team scarpelli

Citizens should vote to merge with Point Pleasant or have a county government and get rid of all this unnecessary expense and drama. Want to reduce government then go all the way.

@KC, in the last 4 years, property taxes have gone up 64% and debt has risen by 60 million. Please keep in mind, if the fly by night company building the solar field, decides to book, that will add another 34 million to our debt. Also since traders cove is a "work in progress" you can expect another 20+ million of debt for that. Then you have foodtown, and who knows what is going on with that, and what Steves redevelopment plans for it really are.

@Jhill, taxes have risen 64% since 2008

@Sal, moonpool and his pal JD have been around a long time. They believe that anything involving democrats and independents should be abolished, or at the very least, made illegal.

Vinnie is a well liked and capable special police officer in Brick Township. From what I observed that night, both Vinnie and the Police Chief reacted as they should have in a very professional manner.

Yes the FBI is is town and they are looking to find who or whom accepted bribes from Frank Gartland/Federal Hill Risk Management Company, the disgraced former insurance broker who took down Mike Rittacco, I wonder who in Brick was taking bribe money to make sure Federal Hill got the insurance contract with the Brick BOE and the Brick Housing Authority, smells a little rotten, wonder who Mike R would enlighten to this scam of taxpayers money?? Please all the political puppets/trolls please let me hear your responses, the PIGS are starting to squirm. CAN"T WAIT!!!

BRICKTUCKY!!! TLC film crews should move in for the next council meeting!

Looking at an engineering firm, also...

Republican or Democrat, it doesnt matter-they should all be ashamed of themselves. Learn to control yourselves people. You are our elected officals. Agree to disagree is fine, but acting like a bunch of high schoolers is unacceptable. Im disgusted that this is what we elected to run our town. Complete embarrassment to Brick.

Art, do you really believe it's guilt? I see it as they were not going to entertain that fool and dignify his ridiculous ranting. He went in there with a clear agenda, to embarrass the council. Well he did, ...furthermore he embarrassed himself even worse. Regarding Mr. Toth, did the Mayor copy EVERY request emailed to assist residents or businesses or just the ones that bolstered his argument? Come in Brick, Acropolis has been a thorn in the residents side for many, many years. He threw around his hate and disdain from the council seats, now he has a God complex going on from the Mayors seat. I think it's time to clean house, starting with the mayor and working through town hall. Get rid of all the overpaid hacks that have clearly shown they have their own agendas.

Is there a schedule available as to when Council and Board of Ed meetings air on BTV?

Councilman Moore was courageous and demonstrated that he Votes with his conscience and with knowledge of the facts presented to him by the Professionals and input from the People. He Put the People's Interest First! His understanding and earnest desire to serve the people of Brick Township is commendable. Hopefully, he is not pressured for voting with his heart and mind.

Wholeheartedly agree - Councilman Moore is demonstrating his ability to represent the people first. Why would anyone want to act before all prudent measures are in place?

I just watched the meeting on the Brick web site, and all I can say is they should all be ashamed of themselves fot the tone of the meeking.

Kudos for those who voted no, for they had the sense to do what's right. To me it looked like a witch hunt by the new council members; how can you honestly vote yes with all the unanswered questions.

Acropolis;
Deluca, Matthews, Scaturro, Thulen, You four got creamed! Voters do not forget!
Melanie losing her political job yet? She disappeared, now she is back.
Deluca trying to put up a trailer on foodtown site?
Or is he too busy trying to get control of Bricks Board of Education?

Those of you who believe in sweet talking Councilmen Dan Toth are in for a rude awaking. When he was the council's representative to the Land Use Department, he set up a sweetheart deal that allowed his stepmother to purchase a parcel of land from the township at a bargain price. She needed this parcel of land to make a business property she had up for sale on Cedar Bridge Avenue and Hooper Avenue more valuable. Further, to my knowledge Dan Toth is a member of the Township Redevelopment Authority, yet his father and stepmother who are in the Real Estate Business have actively brokered the foodtown redevelopment development site. Finally, Dan Toth talks about being committed to Brick Township and the strugglings mom and pop shops who are having difficulty running businesses in town, yet he moves his own wine business to Farmingdale, NJ. FLIP FLOP DAN - HE IS NOT OUR MAN.

Council Bob Moore, you have shown strength and character by voting the way you did...keep it up!

TO ALL VOTERS OF BRICK TOWNSHIP, TUNE INTO CHANNEL 20! SEE YOUR MAYOR SHOW HIS TRUE COLORS!

YAWN! LOVE MY DVR! Isn't Brando now employed with BTMUA? Water is now more expensive then milk! YAWN!

SMile Brando, When Bellu gets canned, perhaps you can fill in Stevies position! TRMUA! What a joke Stevie, You once again DID throw yourself and your classmates under the bus!

Heard Ducey and Toth had it out big time today. Ducey is boiling mad Toth abstained from votes to do with liquor stores, then goes ahead and sends emails out to expedite certain things. My little birdie told me Ducey was screaming at Toth about it. Oh well, it did not take long for Ducey and his merry band of flunkies to start the infighting. What business deals and land deals are Toth involved in this town?

The reality of this is that no one will get "canned" as you say. They will only be moved around in town hall to other area's. The Council and Mayor know this. That is a fact,.

Some of the older politicos in town should tell young Dan about the Brick Township councilmen that went to prison in the 1970s for doing favors for the liquor industry. Liquor licenses are Big business and there is Big money involved

New council one hit wonders..you have tried save the town money but have raised our expenses and going to change our township managers staff illegally..And you guilty with trying to put your dem,s into postions ..And when you get with business trying to open in our township by using your politcal power and what will turn into professional success is just a conflict of interest ..If it sounds wrong is because it is totally wrong..Shame on you for trying to make it sound like your a robin hood or a good guy...Anyone with commen sense reads right threw you...Phony..

Watched the meeting last night on BTV. My only comment is that the Mayor owes a public apology to Mr. Scott. Holding a public office does not give anyone the right to interrupt and disregard the man's time at the poduim to speak. I was raised to show respect to my elders, so should he.

I watched the meeting last night..Its a little scary to know that these people are supposed to be working together to make the best choices for Brick tax payers..I dont know how anything productive can come out of this group of people..Its clear they HATE each other. Its a shame and sad that the people of Brick will be the losers in this situation.
BTW...Im not a fan of the mayor but I dont think he threatened that officer..

I do not agree with the way the Town Council went foward with this proposal which will
cost the taxpayer's additional Lawyer fee's from all ends - not only from the Administration & Council but from all the effected employee's being effected by the measure.
With regard to the Mayor stating this change is for political payback jobs for friends of the Democratic Party, did he forget the long list of friends that received this same status by he himself and his own party:
Belu & Francese along with the created Parks& Rec Department and the tranferred " Freinds & Family members prior to the DPW layoff's, Mr(s) Sangiovanni (BOE) and Brando (MUA) and Mr.Matthews (Housing Auth.) - please before you speak next time Mr.Mayor just think what you have not only did for your friends but also yourself when you received your job at the TRMUA after Mr.Belu received his large salary increase.

Councilman Moore said it best - Bob, it's politics, and proceeded to vote "NO" on this ill-conceived Ordinance.

Given the cloud of uncertainty surrounding this Ordinance, I think that it would have made sense for more facts to come to light before action was taken. The explanation provided as to why a position was being created did not make sense to me at all. The claim that the clerk's office asked for more help doesn't equate to a need for another high-level position: DEPUTY CLERK. Apparently, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing or far worse it knows all too-well

It is a Sad State of Affairs!

No more complaining. Want change? The Democratic-Republican Party Candidates offer change. No political favors. Len Marshall for the 4th Congressional district, Scott Neuman and Tracy Caprioni (lives in Brick) for Freeholders. We're Independents. Give us a shot. And the Democratic Empty Chairs from the Primary that both dropped out in the last minutes are possibliy being given jobs in Brick in new made up positions. Tired of Politics as normal? I'll do my best for the next three years to stand up for what is right. I won't settle for what is left. Scott Neuman - Candidate for Ocean County Freeholder 2012. http://www.scottneumanforfreeholder.com

These people are not concerned about keeping your tax rate stable or lowering taxes at all, if you drew up a how and who has positions chart and listed their political affiliations you would certainly be amazed of the infinite amount of monies wasted everyday, and the only reason they fight so hard to resist change is they simply refuse to except they are the cause not the solution, the municipality and the mua are ridiculously filled with unnecessary positions and are nothing more than a funnel for our tax monies to their pockets, you talk about natural disasters this is a storm that never ends, they will exhaust every ounce of energy to resist change, you see it everyday, Mr. Acroploiis is certainly a great example of that!
