If you\u2019re one of 500+ Brigantine properties owners that depend on AirBnB and VRBO to help pay your taxes and mortgage, do you think Mayor Andy Simpson and Brigantine City Council will treat you fairly? They will drag their feet before lifting your short-term rental ban. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Don&#8217;t contaminate our turf. Stop buying our toilet paper. And don&#8217;t forget, taxes are due May 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">We\u2019re full-time residents of Brigantine. We also own additional properties in Brigantine and other shore towns as investment properties. We use online platforms like AirBnB to run our short-term rental business. We found it cheaper and easier than using local real estate offices. This is not a slight against realtors. But truly, it\u2019s just not easy working with real estate agents connected to City Hall and the Chamber of Commerce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>VIDEO: <strong>Simpson Contradicts Himself.

Ratting out your neighbor. Selective enforcement of confusing and poorly written ordinance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking winners and losers in Brigantine. Simpson and Riordan never letting a crisis go to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Egregious mismanagement and corruption crippling key economic drivers of Brigantine: Real Estate and short-term rentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Glitch-Gate-Andy-Simpson-and-Jim-Barber-1.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Simpson Property Tax Scam?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brigantine\u2019s effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 has been confusing, contradictory, and haphazard. Who the hell voted for Simpson?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leadership, brains & ethics. Always in short supply at Brigantine City Hall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Brigantine-Mayor-Guenther-Exposed-PENSION-PAYOUTS-1.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>WATCH VIDEO.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Been burned badly a few times dealing with City Hall too.

Council too afraid to tell Andy he&#8217;s an idiot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Brigantine City Hall said we had to stop all short-term rentals, effective immediately. So why is Mayor Simpson allowing local realtors to still conduct business? Their rental listings are still live on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me get this straight, the Brigantine City Manager told AirBnB to block my rental listings, effective June 1? Hey Manager Bennett, that\u2019s my primary source of income. How will I pay my taxes due May 1? Will you announce layoffs or furloughs in Brigantine? How about cutting back employee hours? Everybody else is suffering.

But those who utilize AirBnB, VRBO type sites, their listings will be blocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simpson, Council and the City Manager are mishandling COVID-19 on Brigantine Island. Greed before safety. Shame on those who sit idly by and saying nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guenther and Simpson.
