Honestly I think this whole debate is a mircocosm of why so little ever
really gets fixed in Asbury Park.
Jim's got great ideas, but goes so far out of his way to intentionally
poke and jab at the rest of the council that he has little to no chance
of getting any of his agenda accomplished. His email on the budget
committee is a great example of that - whether his statement is true or
not it was completely unneccessary and only serves to drive dialog to
debates like this one vs. discussion around the budget and this
committee which I believe was his actual intent.
The others on the council have always had such venom for Jim that they
refuse to consider almost anything he says or proposes out of spite
rather than based on merit. I am convinced some choose not to not
support things they actually agree with simply because Jim proposed
them first.
If everyone could just step back, check the egos and insults at the
door and focus on making this city better so much could get done. But
of course we all know that won't happen. Which is too bad. Welcome
back to high school everone. Classes are every other Wednesday
evenings.
