\"Brigantine
Financial Mismanagement Plagues Sports Teams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Letter to the editor: We thank Councilman DeLucry for highlighting how the City of Brigantine<\/a> continues to illegally allocate of property-tax\u00a0 revenue and other city assets to private organizations like the Brigantine Rams Football Association and the Brigantine Hockey League. Little or no accounting back to city, non-compliant financial documentation, and lack of proper non-profit status have made matters worse.<\/p>\n

The NJ State constitution clearly says: \u201cNo donations of land and the appropriation of money by any state, county or municipal agency to and for use by any society, corporation or association shall be made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funding of Brigantine Sports Teams Violates State Law<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time this issue has been brought to Brigantine council<\/a>\u2019s attention. It still has not been resolved.\u00a0The primary duty of a governing body is to act legally and be accountable publicly for the expenditure and use of all public money and resources.<\/p>\n

Good intentions do not take the place of legal, responsible money management.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taxpayers who understand the necessity of resolving this issue should not be met, again, with a charge of \u201cbeing negative\u201d. Trust in government is established with its honest, transparent efforts to solve problems with everyone playing by the rules.\u00a0 People are more likely to invest in a municipality when they see such positive action by the government.<\/p>\n
