Mario, In light of the fact that I know so little about NJ Legislators, etc., these two websites, may clear up what knowledge, or the lack of the same! I have no idea how Sean Kean or Palaia voted on anything, but I've never voted for either of them, so any blunders on their part are no fault of mine. This county has been decidedly Republican, in a so-called "blue" state! I've never understood NJ politics and Asbury Park's is no different. Can anyone on this board cite any votes that the council made that are contrary to the will of the residents, here?
