[AsburyPark] Saturday Star-Ledger (Pg 3)...fine article........
on Convention Hall situation. Werner makes some prescient suggestions. Mr Mottola says, 'the impasse isn't just about the matter of sprinklers and parking.' Haven't I said that all along. But then Gary says its also about his larger vision for Asbury Park's future. The city's revival hinges on launching a rock festival that could sustain business year-round. That's where my faith is shaken because no one can believe a two or three day music show is the be all end all. Gary remembers the Asbury boardwalk of the 1960's. Great stuff! But his idea is to transport 60,000 Bruce fans from a football stadium to the Asbury shore's. However, that leaves a lot of folks out. Not too many rap fans at a Bruce show, or Latin music fans either. Not to many fans who dance the night away at the Empress. Asbury is multi-cultural my good friends. I love the idea of a music festival, but what we're really talking about is a white music festival. Fine! But how about a black music festival, or Latin music festival. Keep those events for our gay friends too. You see what I mean. Gary is under pressure to produce results for his investors. But ya gotta be fair. A little something for everyone. MM should hire a marketing company to help put on more events in Convention Hall as Werner suggests. Knowing the pressure the state is putting on Asbury to be more self sufficient how about a 50/50 split on parking. Give the city something. In return, perhaps the city could split the cost of the sprinklers. It might not cost 1 million.or maybe it could be done incrementally or several years. How about MM setting up a scholarship program for high school grads who want to go to college or vocational school. Work together. Look, this city is crying out for new leadership and I pray we get it. We must 'unite' to succeed. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] saturday
Keep the pressure on! "I'm not considering raising taxes. It's not on my agenda. We have a very high-rate tax structure. I'm not considering it." --Governor Corzine, 2005 We the taxpayers have to force the Governor to live up to his promises. In the meantime, two polls have been released in the last week which clearly show that a huge majority of citizens oppose the Corzine tax hikes. Our elected leaders need to listen. With your help, this Saturday at 2 p.m. in Seaside Heights, they will hear us loud and clear. A National Review Online story, "Corzine Sows Disaster in the Garden State," reads: The truth is that governors from across the political spectrum have opted for budget restraint over tax increases. Taming state expenditures is possible. It just requires a politician with enough backbone to stand up to the special interests that demand higher spending. NASBO data also show that Corzine's package is the largest among the 11 governors proposing revenue increases this year, even as twenty state executives are seeking (mostly modest) tax reductions while the remainder have no major changes on their agendas. Don't you wish New Jersey was one of those 20 states reducing taxes? At least we could be in the group with no increases! Please continue to keep the pressure on by calling and e-mailing your State Senators and Assembly Members. Call (866) 730-0150 and ask to be connected to your legislators. There are only two days to go until the Rally! Make your plans now to join us at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 24th, at Franklin Ave. and the Boardwalk, Seaside Heights. Make it a family day at the beach, while telling our lawmakers and Governor Corzine that we won't stand for any more taxes! Directions to the Franklin Ave. Stage in Seaside Heights: Garden State Parkway to exit 82. Exit onto Route 37 East. After you goover the bridge, follow the signs for Seaside Heights. You'll end up goingaround and then under Route 37 onto Route 35. As soon as you are on 35there will be another sign for Seaside Heights directing you off to the right. Almost immediately you'll come to a triangular median - stay to the right and you'll be on Bay Boulevard. Take a left on Lincoln (it looks like it's 3 blocks) to OceanTerrace.
