Republican council members defend use of most of surplus to avoid higher tax increase
The veteran Republican members of Point Borough Council say they have left enough money in surplus for next year and have adopted a sound budget. Councilmembers Bob Sabosik and Toni DePaola are refuting Democratic Councilmember Chris Leitner's opinion that too much of the surplus was used in the municipal budget adopted on Tuesday night, which may lead to a higher than necessary tax increase next year. "We went over this budget with a fine tooth comb," DePaola said. "It's a sound budget. And I believe the town is left with enough surplus. That comes from tax dollars and the best way to use it is to give it back to the people. It seems silly to raise taxes even more when we're sitting on that money." Sabosik said the new budget uses $1.2 …

Council members, state legislators and business owners teach in borough schools
Point Borough Councilman Robert Sabosik came to school prepared. He had re-read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Animal Farm by George Orwell so he could help Megan Fritz teach her Borough High School Language Arts classes on Wednesday as part of the school district's "Teacher for a Day" program. The "teachers" were invited by the Point Pleasant Education Association (PPEA). Interviewed in the classroom that afternoon, Sabosik said he was impressed with students and teachers alike.

But Jerry Dasti's experience makes him worth it, says GOP
Jerry Dasti, the new Point Borough attorney, is charging thousands more than the quote from last year's attorney, but he's worth it because he has more Borough and municipal experience, said Republican council members. "Jerry Dasti is the best attorney for the town," said Republican councilman Robert Sabosik. "I have nothing but the best interests of the town at heart. We're not doing anything political." Dasti, of the firm of Dasti, Murphy, McGuckin Ulaky, Cherkos and Connors, based in Lacey Township, will be paid a maximum of $79,850 for February through December, according to a copy of his contract. Dasti's original quote was a maximum of $93,500 for 12 months. Dasti said in an interview last week that the fee of $79,850 will include …
