A Republican Point Borough Council candidate and two other Republicans have been nominated as possible replacements for Mitch Remig.
Council Candidate Bill Borowksy, Joe Furmato, and Pam Snyder are the three nominees the full Borough Council will choose from to fill Remig's unexpired term.
On Monday, the Point Pleasant Republican County Committee convened to pick three names for council consideration.
The county committee consists of one male and one female representative from each of the Borough’s 16 voting districts.
Virginia Brennan of District 3 nominated Borowsky and it was seconded by Terri Mount, committeewoman from District 8.
Toni DePaola, Borough Council President and District 13 Committeewoman, touted Borowsky’s qualifications, saying, “Bill has the business acumen and skills to fill Mitch’s position and serve the citizens of Point Pleasant with an unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility.”
DPaola is running for reelection in November.
Susan Rogers, Vice Municipal Chairwoman and former Borough Council President, nominated her 2007 running mate William Dikun, citing his qualifications as a previous councilman. That nomination was seconded by Brian McAlindin, District 9 Committeeman and former councilman.
An active community member for many years, GOP Club member Furmato was nominated by District 4 Committeeman Steven Blank and seconded by McAlindin.
Snyder, 2010-2011 GOP Club Secretary and attorney, was nominated by Committeeman Nick Scarpello of District 12.
Judy Block, District 12 Committeewoman, praised Snyder’s expertise as a lawyer knowledgeable in municipal law, government operations, and business finance.
The Council will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Borough Hall, at which time they will vote on one of the three names submitted by the county committee and swear in Remig’s replacement.

...kind of a for gone conclusion. Borowksy picked to replace Remig when he runs in his place in November. . .Democrats will probably vote against him(LOL). . .and probably Pam Snyder will run against Goss next year. . .now that will be an interesting race if Goss runs again?
Don't understand Susan Rogers supporting Bill Dikun after his brother did a number on her when she ran for Mayor. . .but Hey: what's politics amongst friends! Got my fingers crossed. . .
Now Cortland if your reading this: Hollywood has it's Academy awards...Television has its Emmy awards...and the theater has it's Tony awards. . .but there are NO awards for political entertainment?

Susan Rogers nominating Bill Dikun was her message to the Fire. She seems to forget that Bill Dikun interacts with the Fire and First Aid volunteers. They know she hasn't spoken to Bill Dikun since the day he voted against her budget. She is trying to communicate something other than the truth. I'm sure Denise could easily verify this with one call to Bill Dikn. It is widely known. She thinks she is being shrewd. Just as she took $24,000 from the old rec fund to start a traveling wrestling club that only lasted a year but gained her votes.
Former Councilman Dikun was never going to be one of the final three. He went against Rogers and you don't do that. She is still running the show. jmho

more residents interested in other things...like 8:1. . .Like I said along time ago. . .these Council meetings are staged events, just like those dopey hearings in Washington. . .It's really all about the money. . .even if it comes in different colors? And I still say: we need to have an "awards nite". . .for best story line or con artist...

whoever gets in is only going to be looking out for themselves and their cronies anyway. honesty and compassion are not in most politicians vocabulary. lol the point taxpayers are just the pawns who's hard earned money pays for the shananigans.
