After 2 years (barely) of service&#8230;Brigantine Police Chief Reed & Fire Chief Weidner are reportedly retiring before mid-Summer. These reports are coming directly from trusted sources within Brigantine City Hall.<\/p>\n<p>Why so hush hush?<\/p>\n<p>Many suggest that these early exits are due to a &#8216;revolving door practice&#8217; within the Brigantine Police & Fire Departments that provide for a quick run up of salaries.<\/p>\n<h2>Inflated Brigantine salaries are used for pension payout formulation.<\/h2>\n<p>It all makes sense now. Firefighter Union Chief Tiger Platt & other public employees went ballistic with the appointment of a professional&#8230;.Public Safety Director&#8230; Dan Howard, 3 years ago. This public employee financial trickery would not have happened on Dan Howard&#8217;s watch.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Howard was gone after a very short honeymoon. Non-stop harassment & threats forced him to exit.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Some Brigantine taxpayers are once again amazed. Some yawn and say, what else is new on &#8216;The Rock&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p>Another Police Chief&#8230;and a Fire Chief are getting out&#8230;&#8230;after just getting in&#8230;&#8230; to cash out BIG-TIME.&nbsp;That&#8217;s #11 & #12 you&#8217;ll be paying for. At the job for less than 2 years for both of these Brigantine public employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can ya blame them?<\/strong> Brigantine&#8217;s REED & WEIDNER wanted their turn&#8230;. to inflate their final salary. This gives them a much richer pension&#8230;.and a greater retirement payout.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen evidence where some public employee compensation was inappropriately&#8230;possibly illegally&#8230; funneled into BASE PAY&#8230;.to pump up those pensions even more.&nbsp;Feel free to audit those numbers. It&#8217;s right there in black and white.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Remember that $1,900 paid to a Brigantine fireman for ONE DAY of work? Crazy. But 100% true.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8216;Why such disdain for 2nd homeowners&#8230;.and the growing number of struggling Brig full-timers on a fixed income?&#8217; says one local Brigantiner of 43 years.<\/p>\n<p>Why does Mr. <a href=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/mayor-guenther-ignores-law-regarding-public-union-contracts\/\">Phil Guenther<\/a>&nbsp;of Brigantine let this scam keep going?<\/p>\n<p>This tradition was started by former City Manager \/ Public Safety Director; Jim Barber.<\/p>\n<p>Even Real Estate execs are starting to put pressure on 25+ yr Mayor Guenther. Both he, and the public employee unions&#8230;.are catching much of the heat for the current Real Estate challenges on the island.&#8217;Why does he keep this kind of scam alive?&#8217; asked a 30 year resident in the 1st ward.&nbsp;&#8216;Those who keep quiet about it&#8230;or deny it&#8230;.are equally to blame&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>Brigantine taxpayers will now take care of 12 ex-chiefs.<\/h3>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>Police Chief involved in dishonorable activity. Walked away with big time payouts. Tim Reed&nbsp;from Smithville, NJ><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Caught on video, providing false statements about city communication issues under his management<\/li>\n<li>Involved with deleting archived City Council meetings, that are considered legal public documents.<\/li>\n<li>Gave pass to Brigantine Fireman Eric Ireland after violently rear-ending stopped Police SUV. No&nbsp;ticket or DUI check. Brigantine taxpayers footed bill to fix rear-end of Police SUV.<\/li>\n<li>Most recently, Reed approved termination of reporting crime stats to the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will &#8216;acting&#8217; Chief Bennett be different? Will honorable transparency return to the Brig PD Chief dept?
