The issue has generated waves of controversy, beginning when Planning Board Vice President Edward Thomas in March said to Francis McGovern, a lawyer who represents project opponents from Presidential Beach Towers, to "Keep your pedophilia to yourself and stick to the facts" when McGovern asked a witness if he thought the then-proposed 40-foot lighthouse that was part of the application amounted to a giant phallic symbol. _42 indicted in massive drug sweep | APP.com | Asbury Park Press_ (http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080717/NEWS01/807170497/-1/&source=nlett er-news) _Long Branch planners to hear Italian ice stand's application | APP.com | Asbury Park Press_ (http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AI D=/20080717/NEWS01/807170478/-1/&source=nletter-news) Thankfully This weeks Greetings from Asbury Park is limited to positive news.
