I believe you can make a difference.
But sticking to present script will only come back to bite you.
Does downtown look better? YES, but who paid the price.
Remember the unlucky store owners with dreams, that wanted to
believe your present script.
Their door's closed because they failed to understand the truth.
Or the skills to do the Math.
Faith does not pay the bills. Somebody failed to deliver the
customers.
The whole town does looks better now,
but so does Redbank, Keansburg and Long Branch.
In fact the whole county, and most of the state had property
value triple in the last six years, as do noted, nothing to do
with Larry, John, Kevin, Kate or Jimmy.
Did many towns in the county have the property tax rate
increases for the last six years like AP? How many freeholder voters
will understand the need for tax abatements for condos with ocean view? How many
of the same voters understand AP housing funding or the county tax dollars for
the school system?
You may need a new agent and a new script to win this nomination.
You have the skills to help AP become vibrant city and the friends to get
elected.
Most in Monmouth County Voters gave up on Asbury Park a long time
ago.
If you want A P to have a better future you have to distance
yourself from those who help make Larry's future start here.

--- Begin Message ---Yet through it all Gerry, you managed to become a millionaire here in Asbury Park. Here you are one of the people receiving the most benefit from Asbury Park, yet you complain about it the most.Every statement I made is true. Considering the depths to which it sank, the City is doing wonderfully. If by the "old council" you mean the Saunders/Condos one, you'll get no argument from me there. The new council has been great. No I wasn't talking about the crazy group that demanded 500 jobs this year. The UEZ has funded many successful jobs training programs. Go ask Ed Johnson about it. As for the arts, see Artscap. Why do you begrudge lawyers who bill by the hour? How would you like them to bill? Besides, is there a lawyer in Asbury Park that made more money than you last year Gerry? I don't think so. You are in an awfully funny position to complain about people with money. What are you, about 10 feet tall when you stand on your wallet? Yes I want to be a Freeholder that concentrates on our Urban areas, because currently we don't have such a Freeholder (did you catch the candidate who wants to concentrate on the rural areas?). All they talk about is open space preservation. I don't begrudge that in areas that need it. However when you keep people out of the rural areas, they tend to seek out the Urban areas. So if the County assists with open spaces in Colts Neck or Manalpan, etc. why not at the same time fund a facade program in Keansburg or a re-hap project in Long Branch? Seems like fair county government to me, and it will definately help Asbury Park. I hope you agree. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Tommy, > > We have six times (!) the businesses in the UEZ than we had 5 years > ago.
