Mike is one of the owners of some key properties throughout the City of Brigantine: the old Steak 38 building, the Circle Gulf Station, the Rod and Reel liquor license, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In the associated video, Snyder pleads with City Council for some movement on his months-old request for clarification on the parking behind his recently rebuilt Steak 38 property. For some reason, certain parking areas are no longer a part of the 10 year deal that Snyder thought he owned through the purchase of said property. &#8216;Legal issues&#8217; was the reason submitted by both the City Manager and Councilman DeLucry on why this issue is stuck<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surprisingly, Snyder also shares that he offered to donate $$ to fix up the adjacent public works yard;<\/strong> aka city dump\/recycling center.

Hmmmmmmm&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>At one time, Brigantine had 7 restaurants that served alcohol. Today, that number has plummeted to just two.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brigantine Councilman Pullella (a competing developer\/property investor) stayed relatively quiet during this back and forth. Instead, the smart but often nasty Council DeLucry snapped on the respectful and polite Snyder.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/84270966?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0\" width=\"350\" height=\"267\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As readers of BrigantineNOW know, \u00a0boosting the economy of Brigantine is something that benefits all.
