Take note that Spring Lake, a well managed and wealthy town, has the lowest cost per mile. A…Read More similar straight run of boardwalk in nearby Asbury Park, poor and corrupt, is $12 million per mile. Trust me the corruption exists.

well said Tideline. doesn't seem to be any cognitive or cohesive plan here. just a mad dash to…Read More look good before an election. so many photo ops around town with Jack and Gordie, but little in the way of the plan. at the last few board meetings mandel just brushed questions off at an alarming rate. either he is clueless or actively covering up the real facts.
at the heart of the matter are two things, 1-why is there no real effort to help the homeowners whoare still not home (many) and 2-why was the entire boardwalk ripped down and a $44 million contract given out before fema and the army corps gave the town confirmation of funds and planning? this is alarmingly similar to last year's budget folly when they sent out mailers thanking politicians for the deficit relief when they never had it. will slimfast mandel bring petitions against fema and the army if we come up short? will he refuse to answer those questions? are there funds budgeted for Frans next fall? or Happy Len's next generator? very sad

@MikeC: Nobody in New Orleans itself were required to raise their homes as they are protected…Read More (sometimes) by the levee system. The state can use the HMGP money as part of an overall flood protection program instead of giving to the individual homeowners. Which is what they did and poured money into the levee system. In the outlying areas that are not protected by Levees they did give money to people to raise their homes. I can’t say it was mandated I think the mandated requirements came post Katrina and were really given teeth with the 2012 changes to law that eliminated any grandfathered/subsidized rates for houses that were not raised after being found substantially damaged.

You will answer me now. NOW!

Mr. Bauman.Good guy? For bullying a fellow firefighter and his wife? For subsequently being asked to…Read More simply stop talking to someone he has no reason to see anymore? And he can't do that? Where does the good guy part come in? If that was happening under any circumstance to you or your brother or your son... Would you say... "Hey...that's a stand up guy! He just pokes a little fun at other people's expense? I am not sure I see any correlation to the discussion of his voting preference.

The City of Long Beach need a competent person to be the Comptroller.
Doesnt have to be a CPA but…Read More has to have a business head and can efficently do the job.
Not some political clown who was owed a political favor.
ZAPSON, MANDEL, ADELSON, TORRES you gotta go.
Need to run this CIty by the people who support it and who care about it.
TIME TO TAKE THIS CITY BACK BEFORE IT BECOMES A GHOST TOWN.
The current government of the CIty of Long Beach is only interested in its family and friends.
I thought they were about being up and up with the people of the CIty of Long Beach.
LIKE THE BOARDWALK DEAL $44 MILLION DOLLARS
HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT
JACK AND THE COUNCIL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION?
BET THEY ARE GOING TO BOND BUT THEY HAVENT ANSWERED THAT QUESTION EITHER.
THEY HAVE THE VOTES TO DO IT AND ONCE AGAIN THEY WILL STRAP THE COST ON THE TAXPAYER WHETHER HE OR SHE IS A HOME OWNER OR RENTER OR COOP /CONDO OWNER.
REMEMBER NOVEMBER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Start invoicing them for your work you have done already copy and send all receipts you have and any…Read More cash you have laid out for work done itemize it and send a spread sheet, iff they cry about that and want invoices thell them to go to home depot and ask the guys outside,many laborers that help with demo, cleaning up right after the storm and stuff like that they only would take cash, that BTW is okay and acceptable as this is what we needed to do to get our homes cleaned up as per the insurance company words, "no matter what remove anything that was in contact with water.The bank seem to be willing to with out delay release money with significant proof such as above.
elliot zuckerman January 7, 2013 at 08:14 am
Wikyjalo, besides reporting your insurance company open your mouth, DO NOT let them tell you any…Read More crap such as your claim is being processed, we are so busy you have to wait, open your mouth tell them you want your money, call every TV station, they love this, its news and news that is very helpful, use your insurance carriers and their subs name, let the world know they suck and do not want to pay your claim, can you image telling them you will send your payment check in a few months because you are busy, see how long they will wait before you are dropped, weeks, let them know you are mad as hell and will not take it anymore.

Call Pete Kings office.
Tell him that REGARDLESS of how he votes, you will hold the ENTIRE GOP NY…Read More delegation responsible if their redneck scumbag cohorts try to hold up the January 15th vote for the money to fix the boardwalk and the rest of NY & NJ.
Tell him that if those pos hacks from the South want to stay in the majority in 2014 they had better cough up that dough.
Dont sit back and take this nonsense from these rats.

All, as sad as it seems we will get thru this, I hope.it is taking a toll on all of us and now that…Read More we have a very good idea of how to proceed, we are more depressed and pissed off,. Mad as hell and taking it where the sun does not shine......
get mad then let it out, go to the beach and scream, as loud as you can how pissed off you are, how mad you are at our leaders, then relax and start your calls to these leaders, it might not help but it cant hurt..
I am no expert but I do have like most of you have a heart that is broken and only want answers.
