On that day, voters decide the fate of Brigantine&#8217;s Public Safety Director position, something the DEMS want to keep, but the REPUBS want to eliminate.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Brigantine Democrats likely believe 2nd homeowners will be more inclined to keep the Public Safety Director. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Democratic majority of Brigantine City Council wants more cooperation between the City Manager and local Police, Fire & Emergency Services. The Public Safety Director position is a go-between that helps accomplish that goal. Presumably, a PSD would also lead to more financially sound operations within the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, are the DEMS wooing these potential voters for a quick hit at the polls? Maybe.<\/strong> But we&#8217;d also like to think they&#8217;re acknowledging the obvious: Brigantine is more than just 9,000 full-time residents, 3,000 active voters, and a &#8216;full-service&#8217; city operation.<\/p>\n<p>Brigantine Beach is no longer NJ&#8217;s best kept secret. Politicians are savvy enough to see the benefit of warming up to all these so-called &#8216;outsiders&#8217;. These future voters see value in the new Brigantine. They&#8217;re already casting their ballots via home buying, land development and real estate speculation. (and maybe one day, retail business).<\/p>\n<p>Brigantine politicians would be wise to represent the interests of ALL taxpayers. Don&#8217;t be surprised to see someone get the backing of newly registered voters&#8230;. and pull an upset this November&#8230;.and maybe this May 13th too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.nj.us\/state\/elections\/form_pdf\/voter-regis-forms\/atlantic-voter-reg-form-062212.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NJ Voter Registration here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nj.gov\/state\/elections\/form_pdf\/vote-mail-ballot-012712-atl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Get your Mail-in Ballot here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.BrigantineDemocrats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brigantine Democrats Website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It had to happen sooner or later, since Brigantine second homeowners make up about 70% of the local tax base.
