Fireworks "Ludicrous" waste of cash or An image builder?

 


You vote is it "Ludicrous" waste of cash or An image builder?



 Council Member Cotler calls it a Ludicrous Waste of Cash sight. He argued that holding event should be in conjunction with something that would promote the town and drew more visitors was a more suitable option. Colter noted other municipalities have canceled fireworks displays that were not able to be held on the 4th and to postpone the display in the event of rain without providing any additional activities to promote the town was "ludicrous waste of $7,500." Council Member Engelstad said Bradley Beach is aiming to establish an image of a family oriented community, and the fireworks display was in-line with that image."We bill ourselves as a family resort, and there's a nice tradition of a family getting together on a beach at the end of the day and watching the fireworks. It's a nice thing to have" Gary said "It's an Investment into what we want our beach and our community to be" Well as a candidate for Mayor this November I in part agree with Dr Cotler it is a Ludicrous waste of tax payers money, many town have canceled their fireworks but not due to the day the fourth falls on but due to a municipality, not have the ability to fund these particular types of public events,” given the loss of state aid, In Red Bank we have a population facing financial difficulties in terms of maintaining their homes,” Menna explained about the borough’s decision. “So, we can’t fund or contribute in any fashion something that is perceived by the vast majority of the population as not critical to the operation of government, which is to maintain public safety and health.” I agree Mayor Menna if Red Bank is facing trough time I bet so are people in Bradley Beach . I also have to disagree with Council member Engelstad our motto is Of the people-By the people-For the people not something a committee made like Bradley Beach a family resort.
