True enough... but let's be realistic. Of that 17k, how many are vocal? How many have a voice, let alone one that's actually heard in what goes on in the rebirth of Asbury Park? And how many of those voices are responsible for the insane Imminent Domain policies, or the comical contracts

Right on! Great post! As one of those 17k people, i've attended council meetings, and i'll be honest, being there felt like a complete waste of my time. The one time I got up and spoke before the council, they sat there and stared at me like see no evil, hear no evil... and I felt like I was

Here's another thought. Once a council meeting happens, where does one go to read about it? Certainly not on the city website. Maybe people would be more interested in attending if they had the opportunity to see (if there were a video archive) or read about what happens at the meetings. On

Doesn't Monmouth Cablevision air the meetings? Your citizen journalist idea is a great one and I alluded to something similar in a previous post. If you build up enough of a roster, you wouldn't have to worry about attending EVERY meeting. Folks could divvy up the responsibility. It would be

Odd isn't it? The SAME building that housed Criterion Candies, then became the temporary home of our Seniors, then booted them OUT to do what they're doing! Wasn't it busted heating or some flim-flam excuse? Just go up Hwy 33 West and SEE the Senior Citizens building, built with a GRANT and

Chris, In a town, where you can get elected with as little as 400 votes as a low, is incredible! All I have IS a voice! I'm not rich or well connected, so I can bitch all I want, it just doesn't resonate. Now, if I have the ability to raise copious amounts of cash, KNOW people, be WELL
