Brigantine Still Paying For Private Sports Teams, Unsure of Legal Standing

Brigantine Taxpayers questioned the use of public funds for private functions as it relates to some of Brigantine’s youth sports programs.

According to the Brigantine Beachcomber, Mayor Phil Guenther said the programs are run by nonprofit organizations that operate on a reimbursement system.

“The amount of money that’s being spent is on a system where requisitions are submitted and money is reimbursed when receipts are received,” he said.

“If there is a way to improve the process we would certainly be willing to look into it further.”
