Hey Gary worry about your shitty newspaper let the Asbury residends
and elected offiaciac of AP do their joib. If you want to amensd the
plan move here and run for offoce if not just shut up. You and other
people should shut up or shit and get off the pot move here or just
shut up. I will say this the future of this city isn't the
waterfront The futrte is the overall stabillity of this city. If
certain people get what they want and divide this city you will see a
major reduction in redevelopement and watching whoerver invested
moving on. Then the city gets stuck with real smumbags and the small
invester will be left holding the empty bag. That's OK you will
always have a soup kitcken or homeless shelter to keep you going or
get a nice tax break.
