Hobart Gapp commented on Mary Kate Leming's blog post Highland Beach: Town employees to receive 3% bonuses to fight inflation
"The commissioners should consider using the huge Christmas lighting budget to fund employee bonuses.  Palm trees with lights wrapped around them are nice, but I care more about paying town employees a living wage.  "

Hobart Gapp commented on The Coastal Star's blog post Along the Coast: Libraries save residents big bucks at tax time
"What a clever way to dodge the county tax bill.  Smart towns jumped on it...other towns missed the boat.  Is anyone surprised that Manalapan is getting the sweetest tax dodge?  Or that Ocean Ridge had no idea?"
