You're not "blasting" Long Branch. I may disagree with some of your opinions, but your heart(s) are in the right place(s). The bagel posting was eminently reasonable and well-intentioned . . . unlike the reported conduct of the City personnel involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69636018635480538.post-37563954599559016072008-08-13T08:43:00.000-04:002008-08-13T08:43:00.000-04:00I agree with the poster about management being res...I agree with the poster about management being responsible for city employees. The department heads should be bought to task for all problems. Lets hope this blog helps improve things. The city looks good lately, but more can be done. Each area of the city should have a contact for problems that arise with garbage, unkempt propertires, etc. Seaview Ave is disgusting and traffic is horrible with haphazard parking rules.For many who walk the boards this is the parking area, and it leaves a bad impression. Sweep the street, paint parking lines, and stop parking right up to the cross streets.Just send one employee there once to clean up the garbage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69636018635480538.post-23939364787419345112008-08-12T11:38:00.000-04:002008-08-12T11:38:00.000-04:00Dear LBA.

I think there is one person on the city payroll who is in large part a bully, and has played a large part in the unkempt appearance of the city. In my case, it's the southern portion of the city. <BR/><BR/>This person is the head of the building dept., code enforcement and fire prevention. <BR/><BR/>I do not know of a single person who has anything good to say about him. As I said above, he is a bully and I know of many people who will not deal with him. They would rather deal with the people working for him, who are quite helpful most of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69636018635480538.post-37833465751761918372008-08-11T21:13:00.000-04:002008-08-11T21:13:00.000-04:00Let us be clear.

The purpose here is to work for the improvement of Long Branch; to celebrate all that is right with Long Branch and to provide a place for intelligent and or insightful commentary on the life and times of the city.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, if people find wrongdoing that is preventing the improvement of the city or is exploiting the city for their own selfish needs, then the LBA is home for those discussions as well.<BR/><BR/>But please, do not mistake our mission or try to make this blog something it is not. <BR/><BR/>We love the city and hate to see it prevented from achieving its full potential.Long Branch Advocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266462927693673288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69636018635480538.post-42482641792770167632008-08-11T20:46:00.000-04:002008-08-11T20:46:00.000-04:00This is insane.

I think the LBA needs to get their name out there more so more residents know about it and can start blasting LB for all of the wrong doings around town. <BR/><BR/>They should be looking at ways to save money, build schools with solar energy and start driving fuel efficent cars too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
