  1. Redistribution of wealth at its finest

    Taking money from non-resident, non-voting homeowners and redistributing it to Brig townies and “unemployable-in-the-real-world”, lifers

  2. Not only do the town “leaders” openly pillage the non-resident home-owners, but the public areas of the town are an absolute disgrace…a dump.

    The streets are like Dresden, Germany after WWII, the landscaping of the median strips and other public areas are a pathetic embarrassment, and who’s the imbecile that thought Astro-turf in the town square was a good idea (what a dimwit) ?

    The list goes one & on….

    Perhaps the incompetents running Brigantine might drive 10 miles south to OCNJ or another 20 to Stone Harber and see how competent and honest municipal leaders manage a town with taxes that are 1/2 to 2/3 of what taxes are in Brigantine

    Democrat or Republican…it matters not…”absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

  3. I would like to buy the beach passes so I can go on the beach how do you do that nothing here is letting me select that option
