Love Katrina. She fought alongside the rest of us against Matt Doherty and his merry band of blind followers. She would make a great council person. My only wish is that she wasn’t on team Walsifer. This admin is just Doherty lite. The new biz admin is no better than Colleen was, and there seems to be a similar pattern of cronyism. I won’t hold it against her however, because when she looks under the hood, she’ll fight against it like she did with the Doherty admin. I hope.
#2 I’ve met Jerry a few times. He is a kind and decent person. You can’t condemn someone by their supporters. I mean Trump had the support of former grand wizard David Duke and he turned out ok.
Katrina Clapsis is our future. She’s independent, charming, very bright, with high moral standards and she will totally research everything that affects Belmar. She’s nobody’s rubber stamp and a great listener.
#3 maybe not condemn them by supporters but be aware of what favors and/or appointments they may have promised for favors. Doherty will find his way back in, he is out of atlantic city and looking for a new spot to land.
This letter confirms my suspicion that Ms. Clapsis, rather than being a voice of independence, will simply be another ‘yes’ for anything the mayor and BA want. We got rid of Matt and what came next was more of the same (if not worse). Time to make another change. And if Jerry, Mark, and Maria are elected and turn out to be more of the same I’ll vote them out too. I’ll keep voting until we get a council the isn’t self interested and full of cronyism.
#7 How quickly you forget Jerry started out as an independent trying to win, then jumped on the dem ticket last year. I know he has promised supporters of his positions and appointments if he gets elected. He is very familiar with political appointments and cronyism that’s how he got his own career and big pension with the “three year prior to retirement boast in pay”. Open your eyes and stop drinking the jerry b.s., he is no independent. Why do you think he didn’t get up and object to the Belmar Inn project at any of the meetings???? Because Matt got up and spoke in favor of it so all he could do was get up and yell at the Board (volunteers) that he was upset that not enough board members showed up. But did not once say he was against the project. He may have said it in the Streets but not when it counted.
#8 please, if it’s not too much trouble, provide the proof that Jerry is offering positions to his supporters. That is a bombshell and I would love to see it. He will not get my vote if that’s true
In addition, I was at most, but not all, of the Belmar Inn meetings. Can you direct me to the video of Matt supporting the project? I don’t remember seeing that.
Thank you
#12 then think before you vote he is a pal of Jerry and giving him alot of support. He is looking for a new job, and if Jerry gets elected and has Doherty as his BA you will all regret voting in Jerry.
#9 So you are saying don’t support Jerry because you think he might give positions to his friends, instead support Walsifer who has already given positions to his cronies? How does that make sense???
#14 falling on deaf ears. There are folks who will defend their political party, and decry the other, even in the face of objective truth. Some people will never think beyond their narrow preconceptions. They pretend to be worried about something that they currently accept. It defies logic and will never change. All we can do is hope there enough people who vote with their brains and not with their prejudices.

I agree Katrina would be great. The person we have to watch out for with cronyism is Gerry and his crew who have support of prior Mayor Doherty.

#4 agreed. Wally may regret the choice.

#10 thank you
No matter what Doherty says, whether I agree with him or not. It makes me nauseous to see and hear his voice. Don’t EVER trust him.
#12 then think before you vote he is a pal of Jerry and giving him alot of support. He is looking for a new job, and if Jerry gets elected and has Doherty as his BA you will all regret voting in Jerry.
#13 No way that happens, stop fear mongering.
#9 So you are saying don’t support Jerry because you think he might give positions to his friends, instead support Walsifer who has already given positions to his cronies? How does that make sense???
