Well the results are in and the outcome is telling of what the people want and who they are fed up with. This is the beginning of the end for the Barrella bloc. First Reid and Cortes take care of business tonight. They will roll in November. Then next year comes the bombshell. Corbally and Tooker will have to run as independents against guess who ?? I'll keep you all guessing on that. This is a great night for the Republicans and this town in taking the first step to regaining our once proud and beautiful town. All the misfits with the Loder signs better brace for a huge turn around in the next two years. After next year it will be Barrella and Gordon on an island !!

Oh what a night!

...good news from Wisconsin. . .Walker Wins according to CNN and FOX projections. . .Public unions unable to recall Governor

Denise DiStephan: The subtitle of your article is incorrect. It should say "Challenger Loder loses for [the] THIRD time." He also lost to Tooker and Cervino in the 2010 Primary election. Please do better background research and publish ALL the facts ma'am. Thanks.

Where are all the haters now? Cathy Kelly? Vanessa Rudd? Corbally? Barrella? Seems they've scrambled away---just like the rats when the lights go on.
CALLING ALL HATERS: Come out, come out, wherever you are---your silence is deafening! How about we hear this from you now: "Congratulations Mr. Reid and Mr. Cortes!!!!!" Even Mr. Happy has the guts to say it----LMAO

negotiator,hahahahahahahahahahaha

I am still laughing over Mr.Reids comments..."I'll probably vote in favor of it which I know sounds silly because it's illegal, but I'd have to do that," Reid said. "I had said I would vote against it, but if it gives the bars the opportunity to stay open later, then I'll have to vote in favor of it................that is just classic!!!!! haha

You really are a hater. LMAO---haha

Congratulations to Stephen and Andy on their victory tonight. I want to thank George for putting himself out there for what he believes in. I look forward to the candidates coming up with solutions for the issues we are facing. The process works. Let's enjoy the summer.

To many are getting way to excited for a primary election. Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. It will be an entirely different race in November.

Wow, what a bunch of children here.

Ms. Kelly---if the problems in District 4 are so bad can you tell me why the majority of voters in District 4 did not come out to vote, and of those that did come out to vote, the majority voted for Reid and Cortes? And if you had a little more experience (or just did a little work researching of facts instead of just spouting your bias) you would learn that there has never been a turnout or a margin of victory like this in any recent primary. That says something about the so-called silent majority in PPB. And what it says is your boy Barrella, and his puppets Tooker, and Corbally and Gordon are done done. They have been exposed and the people have seen through their lies. As for Reid’s quote, if you were not so twisted you would easily see Mr. Reid thinks closing bars is no solution, staying to pay open illegal, but better than closing them. Not so hard when you keep an open mind, is it Ms. Kelly?

For anyone who is ASSuming that I am posting under an alias,Obviously you have not read any posts that I have made... I would not stoop to that level for anyone so don't flatter yourself..and I guess to reid it is better to vote for something illegal that to close the bars early,like I said,that's funny..

Cathy-would you stop with the denial comments about you posting under an alias. You are losing any credibility you have left to your shrinking email audience. You were puppet watcher until you mistakenly posted a reply under your own name. Everyone knows it and now you try to come across as this out in the open person who doesn't post under an alias. Hahahaha just sayin

Status que............Just saying.

PPB- do you mean status "quo " ?

Status quo.........Just saying

I didn't know juveniles were allowed to comment on here? Some comments on here make the Beach seem even nuttier than, I hope, it actually is. It seems intelligence and affluence don't necessarily go together.

Good one

piecekeeper- your wrong on Cortes losing in November! Cortes even got more votes than Reid. . .At this point in time if the election were held: according to election party data provided here, Cortes would win. . .now grant you it's about 5 months to election day and things can change. . .but the issues are drawn here. . .have been from the day they started with Barrella's recall, Christie getting elected, his tool box, the union attacks on elected officials. . . rising property taxes, increasing cost of personnel...your now almost 14% municipal tax coming on August 1st...growing day trippers and partiers, the never ending parking issue. . .I could go on and on? Unfortunately part of the solution lies in Trenton where local town voters have less influence. . .including Barrella?

PS: stop impersonating someone here that your not. . .hopefully 'patch' corrects their software and prevents others from doing that...

Congratulations to Cortes and Reid! I believe that options are good, especially in political candidates, and Tuesday's choices were clear in terms of political positions. Primary elections are held to decide who will be the party candidates in November. And, if you follow the national politics, then you know that, once a candidate is selected through the Primary process, no matter how rough those battles may have been, everyone in the party, friends and foes alike, come together to support that chosen candidate. Loder could've run as an Independent in November, like Barrella and Gordon last year. But, he chose to run in the Primary and submit to party guidelines and rules of play. Now he's lost, despite a good fight. So, all Republican Loder supporters...you should now be Cortes and Reid supporters. That's supposed to be how it works. That is what the Vogel supporters did when Barrella beat Vogel in the 2007 primary.

Nick - that is supposed to be how it works except for the fact that Loder is not even a member of the Republican Club and Barrella is not either. They chose to form their own little group of Independents. I wondered myself why Loder even ran as a Republican. Why didn't he just run independent? Loder has already come out in support of another Barrella hack independent Davis. Your right though, he should be supporting Reid and Cortes but the truth is he is not because he is part of the Barrella team as is Davis.

Now that the promises/deals made toward district 4 are well known to all the citizenry and the votes yesterday confirmed it, is it possible to again recall Barrella along with his minions? Tooker, Corbally and especially Gordon. I think the outcome would be quite different this time

Tooker is finished! She is next to exit from the world of Barella. Her playing games, deceit, and abandoning of the local Republican party, being Vinny's stooge, will all end her less than illustrious political life.

Carl Rove?? Carl? Honestly, you rubes are starting to irritate Mr. Happy.
KARL ROVE-is that what you meant? Everything you posted becomes null and void.
As to Tooker, look up her record C(K)arl. It's too voluminous to post here.

Obviously yesterday's results have done damage to Mr. Happy and Ms. Kelly's sense of humor

ATTENTION ALL LOCAL GADFLYS: BREAKING NEWS ALERT!!!!!
According to Mr. Happy's newly defined Patch rules... all local gadflys MUST remain within the city limits where they reside. The boundary lines have been drawn quite clear. Do not violate them or you shall be sanctioned with strict penalties!
Therefore, YOU...Laura Beeden....are only allowed to comment on Point Boro politics from now on, and you must remove the Beach from your point of focus at once. After all...Happy's Rules. Besides, we already have our fair share of sycophants over here to cover the Beach politics, so we'll do just fine without you. Mr. Happy's new plan will work well for you. It frees you up so you don't need to worry about the Beach anymore, and now you'll have plenty of time to attend to your Point Boro Council Meeting minutes and your Animallovertoo blog. So...OK...just so we understand each other...you stay in the Boro, Laura. We have Wacky Cathy Kelly and Diamond Dave Cavagnaro over here espousing their radical opinions to the Beach folks. I'll even make you a deal...We'll make sure that Cathy and Dave stick to the Beach stuff and don't encroach on your turf in the Boro.
Fair enough?

007,how about these FACTS,,the taxpayers are STILL footing the bill for the Police and Extra Police needed to handle the tourists and we the taxpayers are STILL footing the bill for the garbage pickup(which is twice a week for a resident)but 7 days a week for the BW (overtime on Sundays pickup)is still being PAID FOR by the taxpayers....how about those facts.....

Beach Politics and posts just gets worse everyday. You are a bunch of adults who are acting very childish. Some that either have or had power who held or hold a political positions at one time in both the beach or the boro is acting very childish.

Obviously from reading some of these posts. There is males posting some remarks. Unfortunately I would not consider them to be a gentlemen. In fact I find them to be loud cowardly obnoxious fools and liars who are making our town look bad.

Carl, 007,Uranus, etc-more enlightenment to you's taxpayers...Thanks to your Greenies headed up by Ann Lightburn. . .you got screwed when they enacted the "Open Space" tax ordinance there.

Now it gets a little technical, but this is how the Beach ordinance worked when you got reevaluated. . .instead of the tax rate being reduced...it actually went up a bit...but the biggest disaster...was that it was applied to the increased percentage of property assessments. . .For instance: take Barrellas' home...where he was paying about $16 in 2006[the rate was.009 multiplied by the assessment in 100's($1750)... now he's paying about $67 in 2011(.010X$6740)...that's over a 400% increase. Whereas, if the ordinance had been written like the Boroughs...there wouldn't have been any more money taken out for open space tax with the reval change. . . So thank the "green gang" and the politicians for screwing you over!

007,CR, Uranus- the real carpetbaggers in these small towns have been the police. . .Over the decades their unions have been skewing the laws and regulations to their benefit. . . and at the expense of tax payers. Here's a more overt picture of how the true carpetbaggers operated...when 100's of them descended on a Boro Council meeting one night over two years ago...using children, hand bills, mass intimidation(both inside and outside) and fear threats to persuade residents and Council members in attendance. . .that they were going to control the towns budget, at the expense of the tax payers if need be...

http://starnewsgroup.com/weekly/2010/03.19.10/cops_confron_03.19.10_65690.html

I feel it is the real carpetbaggers are the politicians and leaders of most organizations. Both private and Public organizations are at fault and stems from greed.

Well, now Ms. Kelly we really have been here before, haven’t we?

1. You have no one to blame for the fact that PPB doesn’t have a contribution from the BW to spend on police and garbage except Barrella Tooker Gordon and Corbally who did not even bring the BW 800K offer we all saw in writing to a vote.

2. You may think it is unfair for the residents to fund police and garbage, but in the absence of legislation in Trenton to allow these expenses to be passed on to business it is illegal to do so. Barrella, a lawyer, always knew this. He pretended he could get away with it just to win votes. In fact legislation to include all such fees inside the 2% cap is now law.

3. PPB pays for police and garbage but has the lowest taxes in the County. The reason for that is that the amount we collect from tourists more than pays for police and garbage.

Cathy Kelly------When you start crying about how poor PPB residents are, and that they can not afford to pay for the services that are necessary in the summer you expose the problem with carpet-baggers, to steal Happy’s word, like you. You just don’t get it. We have been dealing with tourists in PPB since before you were born, and we know how to do it right. The only reason the last few years have been tough is because dumb arrogant politicians, like your boy Barrella, and the equally inane Hennessey, cut the cops. Now that the cops are back in District4, it is returning to the way it has always been-----and we don’t need carpetbaggers like you and Barrella to fix anything----it is not broke.

And for the record, by definition, Spooner is not a carpet-bagger because he doen't live here----the real carpet-baggers are you and Happy----"people from the North who moved South" ---just like you and Happy!

007- I have to say I like your style. It's been some time since I could read a post without cringing from misinformation and horrific grammer. I'll bet you even know who Karl Rove is. I think we will get along just fine. You mentioned you are a democrat, so I will assume you will be voting for Cadalzo. For the record, I have already endorsed Cadalzo. Welcome to MY Patch, we may have some fun! P.S.- I know it's spelled grammar, it's an inside joke I have with the rubes.

Laura, I see that some suspect that you are Laura Beedon from Pt. Boro. If so, please stop posting on PPB political stories. I don't generally have an objection to people posting on these articles, regardless of where they live, but recently, the Ocean Star ran an article about a Nazi swaztika that you had posted on your blog, along with a Republican flier. You were publicly cricitized by Republicans and some Democrats, who you had previously supported, because use of this image is simply reprehensible. The Boro has to deal with you, but PPB should not have to. It is public knowledge that Ms. Cadalzo is Jewish, having filed the prayer lawsuit in the past, and anyone who would so recklessy use any Nazi image doesn't belong in PPB politics.

I'm pretty sure the boardwalk has their own private garbage pickup.
Of course they are entitled to 4 cans for their tens of thousands of dollars in taxes.
Once again read the Tourism Study on the Boro website and then tell us about how Point Pleasant No Beach is paying for all this unfairly.
This will require real thought and effort!

...looks like they turned the tables on Wacky/Happy. . .calling him and others "carpetbaggers" Yeah I was going to correct Happy/Wacky. . .but I know how perturbed he gets. . .So now that a lot you have been carpetbagging. . .I guess you haven't milked enough from the town yet. . until you drive the tourists and BW businesses out?

PS: the garbage pickup over at the BW the Mayor was crying about in Trenton...is a little complicated. . .the bungalow's garbage are the town's responsibility. . .from there it gets kind of dicey. You have garbage cans on Ocean, Arnold, etc. those are public streets. . .then there's the actual boardwalk which belongs to the town, with a lot more garbage. The tourist make the garbage, the businesses bring the tourist. The BW does have private garbage pick up. I believe garbage on the beach is their responsibility, along with their establishments. . .Hopefully if you lock out Barrella and Corbally. . . the town could reach an amicable solution with the BW businesses, helping to defray the public garbage costs during the summer,?

Cathy Kelly-----I see you have posted no response to this. Could this be because you know there is no answer?

Well, now Ms. Kelly we really have been here before, haven’t we?

1. You have no one to blame for the fact that PPB doesn’t have a contribution from the BW to spend on police and garbage except Barrella Tooker Gordon and Corbally who did not even bring the BW 800K offer we all saw in writing to a vote.

2. You may think it is unfair for the residents to fund police and garbage, but in the absence of legislation in Trenton to allow these expenses to be passed on to business it is illegal to do so. Barrella, a lawyer, always knew this. He pretended he could get away with it just to win votes. In fact legislation to include all such fees inside the 2% cap is now law.

3. PPB pays for police and garbage but has the lowest taxes in the County. The reason for that is that the amount we collect from tourists more than pays for police and garbage

Mr. Happy---I just knew you were a lawyer!!! There was document necessary. That was just a lawyer making work for lawyers. Withdraw the ordinances and see if they pay--if they do pay spend it on specials----if they don't THEN enact the ordinances. Chance to get the money you, as a lawyer like Barrella, must know the town can't get any other way, including by "document" because that is illegal. Donations are not. That is why Barrella’s threats returned no money. Nobody donates to one who threatens them.

Sorry---should be "There was no document necessary"

Mister Happy, have you read the tourism study pages 60-63 , conclusions and recommendation ?

Lman- Sorry I haven't read it.
Happy No More- Sorry, I'm still not a lawyer.
Spooner- Sorry, I'm not from the north.
I think that about covers it.

Lol. Yes it does appear to Cover it

That's what Barrella does. To get elected, proposes things he knows will never get passed, gets the lemur vote, and when the plan gets shot down, says "I tried, it wasn't my fault, but thanks for the votes!"

This Caldazo person, Instead of sticking her fingers in her ears, during the prayer, she had the bring in the ACLU. How much did her lawsuit cost the taxpayers? Does anyone think her lawsuits will stop especially if she gets elected?

Wacky- anything you say about yourself. . .raises questions of fact...since it's not a fact. . .they call that ipso-facto...that's another one of those latin terms from our ancestors. . .It's like putting the horse before the cart. You told us about the cart(not from up north) but we have no way of knowing if the horse is attached to move it (your creditability)?? Personally most of what you say gives me a belly full of laughs. . .that's why I mention if your performing at Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club.

Spooner, Spooner, Spooner-don't you mean "putting the cart before the horse?"
Lest anyone think I unfairly pick on the Spooner, read his 2:35 PM post.
It encapsulates all things Spooner. You just can't make this stuff up!

I think he meant locking the barn doors after the cart has left.:)

Why didn't Caldalzo file the suit when we had the previous borough lawyer? We change lawyers and all of a sudden the prayer now bothers her and the new guy gets a pay day.

Ms. Kelly--you there? I just re-read the Judge's decision. Be fair, tell the folks the 11K was for the first suit that stopped the Lord's Prayer, not for the actions of Dyer and Rizzio.

The Judge's decision has now been posted by Ms. Di Stephen---thank you for that. The decision says the Town paid the 11K because of the suit filed by Caldazo to stop the Lord's Prayer.

The truth is no one knows who is going to win!! With all the twists, turns and drama in the Beach it could be anyone.

I agree, anyone NOT endorsed by the gang of four, Barrella Tooker Corbally and Gordon has a chance. Did they endorse anyone other than Davis yet?
