How interesting it is that Ronald Mehlhorn, Long Branch's financial officer, is pulling in $301,000 this year — I almost don't blame him. Although I think that possibly he is playing the system — and knows it.

Who I do blame, however, is Mayor Adam Schneider. On what planet does Mayor Schneider think he can justify such an outrageous payout? I know Schneider is not a stupid man, so then, what is it? What does Mr. Mehlhorn know that justifies such over-the-top compensation?

It is time to blow the lid off this corrupt administration and clean house!
