Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: The candidates on the One Asbury ticket would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters and volunteers. The last few months have been a wild ride, and without your efforts, we would never have succeeded in getting a majority on the council. This was really a […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I have owned a business and lived in Asbury Park for many years and have had the pleasure of living with quite a few city councils since 1975. The current council is the first one in my history that has actually been able to make a noticeable improvement in the […]

Editor, the Asbury Park Sun: I am most taken back when I hear it said that the current council has allowed the city to stagnate due to a lack of building on the waterfront over the past five years.
