Summer time residents having a second home in Brigantine are frustrated not having the ability to vote for city council members.
I too, am frustrated in the same manner, and my year round residency is in Brigantine. With the current type of council/mayor government, we who live in Brigantine can only vote for 4 of the seven city elected officials. Yet all seven make dicisions that effect the entire island, not just their own Wards.
I have never heard, or been contacted by my Ward elected official (Ward 2) for a Ward discussion that afffects our ward directly.
Unlike the 70%ers, we who live in Brig year round can change government so we can all vote for all our dicision making Elected Officials.
