Top issues during term (20)
Fourth round affordable housing compliance and use of the affordable housing trust fund
Could satisfy the township's affordable housing obligation without giving away township land or spending taxpayer dollars.

About $180,000 in questioned vendor payments, plus roughly $6,000 for the pulled litigation bill.
MUA commissioner health benefits
The mayor estimates up to $40,000 per member per year for a full family policy — about $7,000 an hour of meeting time.
Animal shelter closure and police staffing concerns
Residents continue paying on the former shelter's mortgage note while relying on outside facilities.
$9M bond ordinance transparency
$9 million appropriated, financed by $8.55 million in bonds and notes — debt that ultimately affects future tax bills.

Withholds any salary and benefits for the assistant township attorney position.
Council salary suspension dispute
Retroactive payment of withheld council salaries in an unstated total amount.
Warehouse development and wetlands at 1471 Lakewood Road
Parking fines and local parking restrictions
Higher parking fines would increase municipal fine revenue.
Sanctuary state opposition resolution
Speakers cited an estimated $7.3 billion annual cost of illegal immigration to New Jersey taxpayers.
2026 municipal budget adoption
The adopted budget sets the township's spending and tax levy for the year; property tax bills flow from it.
2026 municipal budget and flat tax rate
Avoids a roughly $300-per-home spike in the August quarter; total annual amount unchanged.
Downtown towers dispute and mayoral veto threat
The downtown project carried roughly $5.6 million in street and flood improvement grants and a prior $3.2 million motel acquisition, per the council president.
Stop signs at seven intersections
Refusal to pay Shore Media advertising bill
Unpaid bills can draw judgments against the township — plus potentially expensive federal litigation costs.
2025 annual audit certification
The emergency authorization line grew from $500,000 in 2024 to $3.25 million in 2025.
Mayoral vehicle use and 'official business' restrictions
The mayor says the vehicle is a taxable fringe benefit worth about $1,200 a year on his W-2; critics say the real cost exposure is far higher.
Germania Court vacation and Route 37 Wawa development
At least $250,000 a year in new tax revenue, plus construction and permanent jobs.
Walnut Street speed limit reduction
