We're going to hopefully have an update on the situation a little later on. There have been a number of rumors.

No breach this time. I know that was a rumor but it is not true. We're going to post that as an article tonight once I get one other question answered.

At the risk of asking a silly question: Why is not this Barrier Island one municipality??
I live near Berkeley......In order to respond to a situation in "Midway Beach"(if "Midway Beach" is a part of Berkeley, or is it "South Seasifr Park?)", a policeman must swim across the bay, hop in a canoe, or travel through four or five municipalities in order to "get to" the ptoblem.........I grew up in Jersey City.........as corrupt as Frank Hague was, at least we knew where we were............God Bless us all!! Merry Christmas
