Go fly a kite in the Grove: more fun and truthful than chasing the local news. Paul Goldfinger photo. 7/21 ©

 

The Qoastericans attended the August 28  Home Groaners meeting, and there were a few items of interest * in their latest edition  (9/2/21)  to the Blogfinger newsroom:

 

a.  Mayor Brantley said that "the Ocean Grove North End development project can proceed as the plan's underground parking, which is an essential component, has been approved." 

He also is quoted as saying, "Neptune supports the development of the North End."

 

Blogfinger comments:  Why doesn't Brantley refer to the project as the North End "Re-Develpment Plan" since that is what his Committee was responsible for creating in 2008?   That was the mechanism that the Township and WAVE and the CMA  used to smother the existing single family zoning and the existing Master Plan.  It was a phony maneuver based on a lie to justify the designation.  Now, how cute!   He refers to it as a "development project."

(See the refresher course on this topic below)

Why doesn't the mayor tell the citizens of Ocean Grove in detail about the process whereby the "underground parking...has been approved?"     Why is that being kept secret from the public?

 

b.   And now Brantley announces that "Neptune supports the development of the North End."  Why is he saying that now?  Neptune along with the Groaners have supported this idea from the start---nearly 13 years ago.

Once again we see the misuse of language and lack of transparency to create propaganda and false impressions by these people.

The Mayor wants to rewrite history to suit his narrative while burying the historic truth.

 

*Once again the Coaster, purveyors of fake news,  reports on local news without ever ever ever asking a single question to challenge the local yokels like the Mayor when he spouts nonsense.
