Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Jerry... happy -- Cost is the issue
Well said, Joe. Not to mention the fact that a lot of the kids don't know how to swim in the ocean and their parents have reservations about letting them go to the beach.

What's the tax burden on residents living in the non owner/occupied housing? underserved compared to whom I wish my school district was spending the equivalent of Rumson Country Day School's tuition per child each year.

[AsburyPark] Re: Jerry... happy -- Cost is the issue
"Didn't Keady say he was also concerned about the cost and that any such projects in the future should be looked at more carefully. That is the ISSUE, the cost of this thing, $800K !!! Not whether it is good for the children or not. Press reporting goes for the fluff again." Truth and consequences; Asbury residents, the financial stepchild of the jersey shore, are overtaxed and underserved; it is painfully clear that the west side has had, and continues to get, the short end of the stick of expenditures, services and improvements. Financially distressed, it must constantly juggle the books to find funds for basic services, so that when discretionary spending is called for, choice often appears capricious. Clearly council feels obliged to provide services to ameliorate the east/west disparity; when it does so, it seems obvious to increase the impact of spending by availing itself of whatever grants that may be available. Unfortunately, the grant process distorts the spirit and costs of these services. This distortion is compounded by a council that means well, but has few tools to value the cost/benefit of alternatives and whose staff and consultants are far from the best. The result too frequently, the continuing bumbling that Asbury Park has become so well known for. Cost certainly is the issue, unfortunately, past sins of omission and commission cloud current decisions and the fear of repeating history prejudges performance. Yahoo!
