Nice......

Can anyone tell me why the lawyer who advised the Council to do these things everyone says might not be legal is the one defending the Town? Shouldn't the residents demand a different lawyer who could give them an unbiased view as to whether these ordinances can and should be defended and how much it will cost? Isn't Gertner just gonna spend a lot of taxpayers dollars defending his own bad advice? Why does PPB have to be defended by the political hack who helped get us into this mess? Why can't PPB have a real lawyer like the rest of the Towns?

And the hits just keep on coming. Ye shall reap as ye shall sow. Is that the correct wording?

Nothing for nothing, but didn't Point Beach bring up last year that they were thinking of buying back the beach? Maybe this is their way of puting the Boardwalk businesses out of business. Too bad Jenk's couldn't afford to just close for a week during the height of the summer, so Point Beach could be reminded who is their biggest ratible and who draws the summer crowds that support all the business in town.

How many lawsuits is that so far, I'm losing count. 3 ? 4? The funny thing is Barrella and Tooker think that businesses should just open their lots up to people and the problem is solved. Nothing like people in government trying to run a private sectors business. This is right out of the Obama mentality. Next they will be telling the restaurants and bars what they can and cannot serve and telling them how much to charge.

I remember a while ago, that Ms. Kelly was raising Cain over a letter from the Boro's Attorney being shared with the BW's attorney. I think it's referenced in the BW's attorney's letter to the Council right before the vote on the parking plan. If the BW got to see that letter, then maybe the residents should get to see it, too, to see exactly what types of legal advice the Governing Body is getting. I know that the Govering Body gets to pick the attorney they use, but we're paying for that legal advice, and all that legal advice seems to be getting us is more lawsuits. I guess with all of these lawsuits, we'll know just how good a lawyer the Boro Atty (with Barrella's help) is. Looks like there are plenty of lawyers willing to take them on in court. We shouldn't forget that, despite extensive litigation, Barrella did ultimately lose that Recall lawsuit.

So we should all just sit back and let the town run amuck...
Sometimes you have to fight the movement...
I would rather spend the money in court rather then sitting back and watch our town turn into seaside.

By the way Part Timer, based on my experience in District 4 it looks like the extra cops are working---we aren't going be Seaside anytime soon. And don't give me that crybaby nonsense about paying for the extra police; your taxes are still lower than the rest of the County. Tourists pay for extra cops. If the Tourists did not pay for the extra cops your taxes would be higher than the non tourist towns, not lower. Why is that so hard for everyone to understand?

Part timer - who said anything about letting the town run amuck? The bozo's could have dropped the illegal ordinances and accepted the 800k and put double the amount of cops on the street and avoided this entire fiasco. Penny stocks sounds like a d4 squeaky wheeler or a Barrella crony.

Barrella Tooker Gordon and Corbally can't make a deal now, no matter what the BW offers. The BW haters who put them in office would hang them if they took the money from the evil empire and abandoned the parking plan and bar closings. They have to keep doing what the State is going to void. They are hoping voters will blame the State and not the people who will truly be responsible when we have no money and bars open until 2: Barrella Tooker Gordon and Corbally

one man's opinion,
You say it is extortion on Barrella's part but at the same time you are ok with the BW owners offering a bribe to stay open later...
You say the odinances are illegal... How do you know?
Haven't other towns closed there bars at 12?
Do we not have a parking ordinance in our town already? District 3 (behind the ark)

Everyone says EXTORTION...
But does anyone question the motive behind the BRIBE that is offered from the BW owners to stay open later...

Well folks, it's now in the hands on the courts now. We could blog and post and write all day, but it comes down to one thing. If the town wins these cases, it will affirm the rights of a town's sovereignty. If the BW wins, you may as well change the name to The Republic of the Boardwalk. We will be ruled by special interests and big business. I wonder if the anti-gov't forces considered that? Change that could happen every election day, will be gone; it doesn't matter who sits on the dais, the BW will dictate policy or sue. Does anyone really want to live in a town where business and courts control the lives of the people or should the people control their own destiny through the election process?
On a lighter note, I see Spooner has weighed in. If you care to access the Thomas Davis story, 8:59 entry you will see where the editor, Ms. D., publicly reprimanded Spooner for publishing false information. Read that post and you can then skip over any further Spoonerposts.

The Beach and its supporters say the reason for this ban is to curtail offensive behavior that takes place after patrons are at BW businesses. But the big flaw in the argument is that there is no proof that the behavior is a function of parking. If the parking relocated, doesn't that just put the neighboring areas more risk than they currently have? And, if parking tags are going to be hanging from rear view mirrors, how many of these individuals who are already violatiing property will be breaking into cars to get the passes? More police needed to prevent car windows from being shattered. Except, that will be at the Beach's expense.
The behavior is the result of irresponsible dolts being overserved not cars being parked on the street.

Nonsense Mr. Happy. I know you are unhappy, after all you told us all the ABC would never hear it, wrong on that one, eh? And as for sovereignty, in what universe does a small part of the State and County get to dictate to all? The bar closings and parking plan are statewide and Countywide issues---that's why the law says PPB does not get to make the decisions on this one, the State and County does. And that empowers all the people, instead of catering to a select few. Kinda like the problem with catering to the squeaky wheels in district 4 instead of leading the whole town. What ya think, Happy?

All of this talk about PPB becoming Seaside and the BW owners not seeming to care, well, has anyone been to Break Water Park in Seaside Heights? Many PPB residents love that place and it looks like what the PPB boardwalk used to look like. It's an oasis in the middle of Seaside. It's an example of what our BW owners can do and will do if they are able to get some decent cooperation from a Governing Body. Read the BW lawyer's letter. The BW doesn't deny that there's a problem, and seems more than willing to help restore PPB to the place everyone wants. They said "Here's some money. Get some police." It's crazy talk for people to think that the BW wants to see PPB turn into Seaside, especially since they live here, too.

...Happy: you finally caught up with the rest of us. . .It's about Time!. . .Glad to read...you had something to contribute..besides your trite of me... that your obsessed with. . .and Flappy you got to delve into the fine print of Barrella's BS on the day of the reorganization meeting(January, 1, 2012). . .Oh that's right...Your one of those know it alls. . .You don't have to read his crap. . .

PS: your out of your league here with your most recent post. . .those people you refer too have spoken on Tuesday. . .Another nail in Barrella's, Corbally's, and Tooker's coffin. . .Eventually Barrella will be marginalized . .maybe he'll do those people a favor and retire from politics. . .and Tooker: she could spend her summers in Florida again?

THEN TELL THEM TO OPEN THERE PARKING LOT TO THE LATE NIGHT CROWD....

PT ---that's Tooker's idea. It was inane when she suggested it and it is just selfish coming from you. Don't you think it would be better if you moved away from the place the tourists you don't like have always been, rather than having the tourists you don't like moved to a place they have never been before just to accommodate you?

Part Timer, I don't know whether your solution to open up the Jenkinson's lot works, but I will say this...telling property owners to do something doesn't seem to work. If Corbally, Tooker, Gordon and Barrella understood how to work with people, then perhaps opening up the lot might've come up during the negotiations. We're such a small town, though, that every decision, every change, has some type of effect, both negative and positive on someone. What you think might work to resolve a problem might cause others a lot of problems. I do wonder whether the Boro Atty considered this Public Trust Doctrine problem when he advised the Governing Body that they could go forward with the parking plan.

Beach_N8iv
Once again, i did not know when i bought my house that also had to keep the BW employees from having there hours cut,pay cut or from even being cut period.
Remember that if district 4 turns to $%!^ the other districts will follow..

PT---night time bar patrons have been a part of PPB since before you were born and were there when you bought your house. Remember the line in Jersey Boys where Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons were at the "Sea Breeze"? That was a reference to Martells. It is unbelievably selfish for you want to move night time tourists out of a place they have always been to someplace they have never been, just because you don't like them. The bad apples have also been here since before you were born and the answer is, and always was enforcement. For decades those like you who couldn't deal have moved. You should learn to deal, not that tough, lots do----Reid and Cotes won District 4 you know

One mans, Everyone acknowledged that there is a problem(even the BW) so to say this is how it has always been is ridiculous...The BW,the Council,The residents all agree on one thing, That there is a problem!!!!!

The problems,lawsuits and power struggles revolve around how to fix the problem Not whether or not there is a problem....

A problem created by your boy Barrella and the equally misguided Dyer and Hennessey cutting cops. And we have already solved the problem, as we always have, by increasing cops by an amount that is both effective and we can afford. And only those who are unaccustomed to the season by season ups and downs of the tourists in PPB over the decades believe anything else. You say you have only been interested the last couple years. You can go back to what you were doing. We got this.

Ms. Kelly, one more thing: if "everybody" thinks there is a "problem" in District 4 why did the majority of registered voters in District 4 not come out and support Barrella and the parking plan last November and does the fact that Reid and Cortes beat Loder in District 4 on Tuesday mean the residents of District 4 know Barrella has the wrong answer?

one man's opinion
Why should anyone in this town have to deal with the problems, you say call the police and let them handle it, they are very good at what they do. I am sure they are but again why should we have to deal with it in the first place....

Because living so close to the Ocean and expecting all summer tourists to be well behaved is unrealistic. The police actions will lower the frequency to a tolerable level as they always have in the past----like before you got here and started complaining.

Was trying to stay away from this BUT,
You try and put a spin on most things I post back to you and to me that sounds like a Liberal spin...

Does everyone like to have one man's opinion speak for you...HE DOES
one man's opinion
6:59 pm on Friday, June 8, 2012

The full time residents who love PPB and are humble enough to understand radical change for squeaky wheels leads to ruin.

Nice try Part Timer---but I was responding to your question “Who is we” i.e. who do I think has and will keep our tourists in line, without the help of part timers and carpet-baggers like you---I never suggested I speak for all the residents-----but we, the residents, will take care of the tourists by funding the cops necessary for enforcement as we always have.
You obviously have decided not to even try to understand how and why PPB has always worked---typical carpet-bagger-----why should anyone listen to you?

Part Timer, obviously, you had the wrong impression of PPB even when you moved here. Definition of tourist: "one that makes a tour for pleasure or culture." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tourist Did you not realize that PPB has had fireworks for many years? Fireworks can only occur after nightfall. Many come just for the fireworks, at night. Others used to come at night for the Father Alfonse concerts. I understand that you're bothered by the night time bar patrons, but if you really thought that when you bought a house in PPB that you'd only see tourists going up to the BW during the day, and wouldn't see them heading up there at night, you were truly mistaken.

Oh, and of course, I am only

one man's opinion

Ms. Kelly, what are you talking about? You say "the fact is that lately anyone that separates themselves from your club (R) gets elected." Did you miss the election results on Tuesday? Loder ran as an Independent Republican in the Republican Primary and....lost!!! Mayer ran last year and was the biggest vote getter. But, you're right. Those Independents did well last year. So, riddle me this....why exactly did your boy Loder decide to run in the Republican Primary, and risk being knocked out for November, rather than just run as an Independent with Davis? It sounds to me like Cortes was right. Loder's whole plan was to create political chaos. Or, could it be that Loder and the Barrella clan were hoping that if Loder won, Barrella could gain control over the Republican Club and hope to re-establish himself as a Republican with the hope that someone might actually listen to him on the County and State political levels?

Part Timer, I can tell you one of the things that has significantly changed since your birth in 1964...the number of people we have in NJ. It boggles my mind, to be honest, considering all of the forms of contraceptives out there today, but we have approximately 2 million more people living in NJ than we did in 1960 (sorry...there was no census in 1964, so I have to use the 1960 figure). 1960 = 6,066,782 residents in NJ. http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=34&year=1964 2011=8,821,155. Nearly 400,000 more people between 2000 and 2011, too. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/34000.html

I find it comical that everyone on here complaining about the failed negotiations is neglecting to mention that Bill Mayer and Bret Gordon were the ones doing the negotiating...It was never brought to a vote..Tooker,Corbally and Barrella had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it...But I guess,that fact is just omitted because it helps your argument by blaming those three....So many people know the truth yet you few who love to distort the truth believe the more you post it,than people will believe it....Again,you underestimate the residents........

I cannot believe some of the things people are posting here. Don't you people get it? These ordinances are going to cost people their jobs or at least seriously hurt their incomes. This law suit was brought by fishermen, among others. Fishing is a very dangerous and difficult job, and one that none of you college-educated snobs probably ever think about, but it puts food on the table for many who don't have the means to have gone to college, and it's been a staple of the NJ Shore forever! My girlfiend is a single mom with 2 small kids. She works the late shift at a PPB bar because it's good money and she can leave her kids with her mom at night. These aren't people who are lucky enough to own vacation homes in PPB. These are people who are barely getting by, paying rent for an apartment. Burglary is on the rise in NJ because people are stealing to eat. It must be nice to have such comfortable lives that you can worry about people peeing on your lawn, when so many others are worried about paying their rent and putting food on the table. PPB used to be a lovely community, but it's clear that many have no heart here today.

Remember in the 70's the residents of Point Beach tried something? About that time, there was a movement going on to have the beaches have one price for residents and another for tourists and the town said that was discrimination, against the law and the town would be inundated with lawsuits. So how is this parking law any different? You want to solve the problems with the tourists without extorting the boardwalk businesses and solving the parking problem as well ? Get tough! Just like Fort Lauderdale Florida did when they got tired of being abused by spring breakers. It would cost less (of course the town is going to hate this idea as they won't be getting the money from Jenks and Martells that they want.) Here's how. First change the laws, easy to do and then make up signs in plain language that a dope would understand. Something like this:
Anyone caught peeing anyplace but in a real bathroom with a real toilet will be fined $1,500 and a weekend in jail (the weekend picked by the court, like July 4th or another three day weekend)
Anyone caught taking a dump anywhere but a real bathroom with a real toilet will be fined $2,000 and two weekends in jail. (weekend to be picked by the court)
Take any problem and do the same and then state that there will be no negotiations with the town prosecutor what the sign says is what you pay and do. Easy simple and the scum will be on their merry way to Seaside! The town is returned to a family oriented place to have fun .

Ms. Kelly, I cannot believe that you actually wrote that the negotiating was done by Mayer and Gordon and that Barrella had "ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it." Are you kidding? Everyone knows that Barrella was involved in the negotiations. If you read the May 9 letter from the BW attorney in the other article, he specifically says that there was a negotiation meeting that occurred on April 27, 2012, that there were three GB members present along with Gertner, and that "Mayor Barrella agreed to table" the ordinances. I think it's you who underestimates the residents. I cannot believe you actually posted that. I can't figure out whether you are so far gone in your political spinning mind that you don't even realize when you post what is a lie, apparent to everyone, or that you're just that confused or over-tired that you forget these things.

Wow. I did not even think about the commercial fishing industry and how the parking plan would affect their commercial business. Good for them. Hope they win.
As far as allowing residents to park in Jenkinson's north end lot- that is crazy. That is private property. I remember when we owned the Idle Hour and people were falling in the parking lot outside and suing the heck out of us and the insurance company having a field day....Jenkinson's- TOO MUCH liability for you to allow overnight parking etc...and Idle Hour insurance costs becoming outrageous.

I also have been thinking about this issue for a few weeks now and the one thing that does bother me is this. Is the government body educated or advised on what a conflict of interest is? I have annual ethics training working for the federal government and I thought everyone knew what this was. Well, conflict of interest from a layman ( not a legal definition) is anything that could be perceived as an advantage ( financial or non-financial). For example, Mike Corbally who is a part owner in a real estate firm CAN NOT vote on an issue which is directly impacted by his business (financial gain) rentals in District 4. Kristine Tooker and Mayor Barella who I believe live in District 4 and they are voting on a plan for a limited number of residents in comparison to total residents in the town in my opinion for personal gain (quality of life for them individually) and since their voters voted NO last November. This also is a conflict of interest in my opinion. Lawsuits are going to cost the taxpayers of Point Pleasant Beach lots of money. Someone better be monitoring all the legal costs of each law suit and when it gets outrageous - overturn your decision. You all appear to be stubborn on this quality of life issue. Governing body-Be business people and make decisions, but if it is not fiscally responsible - CHANGE YOUR DECISION...

Now that everyone has spoken, I hope no one has gotten blue in the face. Sounds like someone needs to start a new petition for recalling your problem children before the cost of all the lawsuits bankrupts PPB. Maybe another recall effort may distract your "leaders" long enough in order to get some semblance of order.

I am confused on the Mr. Jackson attorney's argument Doesn't the fisherman park in the lots where they keep their boats? Why would they park on the streets? When does the fisherman start fishing? Where do they live? Wouldn't they get the passes that they are given out? Parking is from 12 pm until 6 am, is this the hours fisherman start? Can't they park at the inlet parking?

Mayor- Please Read...PPB Borough have over a period of many years activity induced and solicited the public, in particular non-residents to come to PPB for purposes of partaking and using the public beach and the public boardwalk...

In addition, the PPB Borough over a period of many years activity induced and solicited private individuals, including those name as Plaintiffs, to purchase and invest into businesses and commercial properties within the Borough near the beach and boardwalk facilities, in order to provide suitable and legal restaurant, tavern, and recreation facilities so as to service and induce the public and in particular non-residents to come and utilize those facilities and businesses...and pursuant to such inducement and practices over many years, have responded and invested substantial amounts of money and investments into each of their particular business operations and facilities...

The PPB Borough's governing body by Ordinance 2012-12(District 4 Parking Plan) have now acted contrary to the inducements and practices over many years upon which the plaintiffs have relied and acted upon...

...a clear case for "damages". . .meaning that all those businesses that will lose money and investment with the implementation of the parking ordinance have a right to be reimbursed by the town because of the town's past action in encouraging individuals to invest in those businesses. . .

If the town doesn't own the beach and boardwalk, why does it hold the CAFRA permit? The owner of the beach should hold the permit. If Jenk's owns the beach, it should hold the CAFRA permit, perform all the maintainance on the beach and satisfy the parkiing requirements, by opening up its lots if the town choses to not allow anything but resident parking overnight.

In many towns up north, you can't park on the street overnight at all, resident or not. Businesses there have to provide parkiing for their patrons.

These negotiations with the BW must really be unpopular if Barrella’s spin captain Cathy Kelly is trying to convince us Barrella had nothing to do with them. Isn’t he the first one we all heard spout the idea the BW should pay more? Does anyone besides Ms. Kelly honestly believe Barrella had nothing to do with these negotiations and the mess that has resulted?? If anybody does, please, let’s hear it? Happy? Better Living? No? I didn't think so.

Ms. Di Stephan It's time for you to remind Cathy Kelly of the Patch rules. She is trying to guess the identity of Nick Carraway. She has posted 4 times all on June 8th,
deliberately referring to him by another name. You have warned others in the past about this. Read her posts yourself. She is not playing by the rules!

A couple of things:
Won't be Fooled Again- With regards to the Mayor's involvement in the negotiations,
if anyone was even remotely paying attention, you would know that he entered the process at the end. He did attend a meeting and agreed to table the ordinances. So, everyone is partially right; and if by agreeing to table the ordinances to continue to look for a solution makes him a villain in some people's mind, so be it.
Maggie Hart-Boro resident? As I recall from a past election, Sue Rogers supporter?
So, by definition that translates to Anti-Barrella. Enough said.
Spooner-Uhhhh, never mind. I don't have to keep an eye on you, Ms.D., Patch editor has superseded me.

To Cathy Kelly: Stop trying to guess the identities of commenters. Stop addressing commenters by names other than the ones they are using, real or otherwise. I'm getting complaints, again, and I had to delete a few of your comments. This is at least the second time I have asked you to stop doing it. There will be no more warnings. Next time I see it, your account is suspended. All other commenters need to remember not to do that and to stay away from sweeping, damning generalizations and unsubstantiated accusations.
And to all those who are poised to post, "Ms. D. reprimanded Cathy Kelly! Yahoo!": You know what? Save it! If you are that filled with hate that you would gleefully write that, you have probably been engaging in the kind of antagonistic bickering that just fuels more hate and creates more problems here. So, please resist the temptation, try to be more fact-based and constructive, and maybe I'll actually be able to have some time off this weekend. Or will I have to babysit comments all weekend long?

Isn't Mayor Barrella an attorney??? Maybe that "splains it all"!! You know how these attorneys are - all very poor except for each other...

Charlie Bogert

Mr. Happy, why are you trying to downplay Mayor Barrella's involvement in the negotiations? You know full well that he was involved in more than one meeting with the BW on these issues. Let's just assume, to make you Happy, that throughout the times when Gordon and Mayer were meeting with the BW, Gordon, you know, Barrella's former running mate and clearly his second in command, never bothered to call Barrella up on the phone after the meetings and fill him in to get his input. I think that's unlikely, but I'm willing to humor you on that issue. Even so, Barrella was clearly present at more than just the one meeting when he agreed to carry the ordinances. Again, look at 5/9 letter from the BW lawyer. Barrella was also at the 5/7 meeting. Gordon suggested the $160K per year. Mayer and Barrella were present. Further discussion on how payment would be implemented, then everyone took a "time out" and, when they returned, the GB members raised for the first time that the parking plan lawsuit had to be dropped. It's attached to the 10 Days to Respond article.

Mr Happy- Your comment about me is ridiculous. I know Mr Barella and I think he is an awesome tax attorney, but not a very good Mayor. He is arrogant and not looking out for the people of Point Pleasant Beach and being friends with Sue did not give me that conclusion. I grew up in Point Beach. My mother, Ceil Hart, Homes by Hart for 30 years and a very political activist in her day taught me how to look at issues NOT party lines. If you knew me, you would know I graduated from Point Pleasant Beach HS and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2003 and have followed issues in Point Pleasant Beach/Boro for years. I know Kristine Tooker personally also, and think she is a nice person, but she also is clouded on sound business judgement. I know Andy Cortes for years. I know Steven Reid for years. I am NOT ANTI- anybody. I am an Accountant/Price Analyst and I know a little bit about fiscal responsibility and I see that this is going to cost the taxpayers of PPB a lot of money and just want people to wake up before it too late. I worked at Fort Monmouth which was BRAC'd to MD, the economy in Monmouth County due to the closing of Fort Monmouth is terrible and the true results will not be in until Sept 15, 2012 - one full year of Fort closing so between that and the lack of revenue projected for Point Beach I am scared for all of residents of NJ what impact it will have the NJ state tax and services..... We shall see.

Most all of those, the marina and charter boats have their own parking lots?

I do not understand their suit.They provide their own parking.

The boat without parking, the "Ideal" is not listed in the suit.

Also most marina and boat owner were against the CAFRA marina access proposal.

I wonder if those lawsuit filers are paying the tab for the suit????

Hi Maggie Hart-thanks for your explanation, sorry I overreached as to your political sentiment. You have quite a resume, I'll bet the Repubs. secretly wish they had candidates with that type of resume. Let's face it, the 2 candidates they are running have a combined resume that is thinner than someone in the last days of the Bobby Sands diet. There's just not much there. Oh well.
I understand your concern about the economy in general, but here specifically, in D4,
people aren't thinking about state tax revenue at 3AM when the area is overrun with marauders.
It's interesting to note that you mention Barrella and Tooker, including a positive statement on each. Yet, when you mention Reid and Cortes, it's just that you have known them for years. Period. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but perhaps I am reading between the lines; sorry if that's the case.

Good Spin, Happy, but the people are not buying it. Those big resumes come with big egos, like Barrella and Gordon. Residents know they would be better off with “common sense” Andy than “big resume” Gordon. The residents won’t make the same mistake twice.

We have tried the alternate way for most of the more than 30 years. The others have recieved and seek political appointments, contracts and government employment for themselves family and friiends. As long as they vote the gillmore way they are rewarded!!! We have been making the mistake for years!!! As we tumble into the abyss!!

Mayor Barrella, you said: "that the town is allowing free parking in the 500 parking spaces at Silver Lake lot on Arnold Avenue from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m." in response to this latest lawsuit. . .Now Mayor why would anybody who now parks near and around Channel Drive, want to park all the way at Silver Lake. . .And that free 11PM to 6AM - begs an explanation! Let me see if I got this correct...you come here at around 4AM to go off shore fishing for the day and park over at Silver Lake. . .After the charters leave. . .am I to understand that you and your parking police will be putting money into the meters for their vehicles at 6AM, so they will not be ticketed for the day, or will they have to put money in at 4AM and pay all day to park(not free parking any more)...then walk to Channel Drive at four in the morning to board their boats..And after a long hot day of fishing...again walk back to their vehicles at Silver Lake with all their gear...maybe-possibly getting a taxis...Do I have this correct so far?

...maybe even the Charter companies should provide lot transportation...using one of those mini-buses. . .Is that going to be FREE too!

Mr Happy- Thank you for stating I have quite a resume. However, I am NOT interested in running for politics but I do like to provide input on fiscal responsibility/budget issues due to my extensive financial background in it and some common sense issues where I can.
In addiiton, yes, you are reading between the lines. I was pointing out that I am in favor of issues not party lines. I mention Barella, Tooker, Reid, and Cortes because they all represent different party lines. Thanks Matt Murphy - you must know me

You're welcome Maggie. We take care of our own.
