was there no discussion on the southend beaches and lack of sand?

I actually think that the City administration is of the opinion that if they wait long enough, the south end issue will go away. But I think that they are unaware of our "southern" determination.

No one in the south end is among the insiders club in Ocean City so we are all so expendable. We have been neglected forever. This is not new. And it is about time that south end homeowners stood up and spoke out about this neglect. We pay the same taxes as everyone else, but we are totally ignored. No beach? That's OK there is a beach in front of the boardwalk and that's all that matters

City skips PO's and gives NO-BID contracts and Patch doesn't even mention it after it comes up 1,2,3.....strikes, I mean times, I guess the Ad money it toooooo precious?

19 Emergency Contracts without any paperwork....City Council is FLAT FOOTED and its not even mentioned in this Council Update?????

YOU are not doing your "job" as you put it. YOU are merely adding to the problem. Why must YOU continue to assume that are local government does not care about these issues? I know for a fact that they do. STOP the finger pointing, and accusations. Perhaps YOU should offer your assistance to our government in order to help resolve the situation.

Oh Frank --- you know for a fact that the local government "cares" That is so funny. I think you have made this lame comment before - you know for a fact that they "care." Ed Price is on the ball. I am so glad he has the courage to speak up and point things out that are being so totally mishandled. And he does offer his assistance when he stands up and gives us all the facts. And Doug Bergen - how about a story on the NO BID CONTRACTS???? Frank - give it a rest - You know dirt for a fact.

They are just starting to care, after 13 years of sucking as much tax revenue as possible out of the defenseless out of town ,non- voting owners and giving as little as possible back, ie never even trying to include the south end in the 50 year replenishment program . How offensive is it to watch endless amount of our tax dollars get poured onto the north end beaches only to cause the mid island beaches to grow ocean ward thus nudging the littoral drift farther offshore starving the south end of any sand .

After Sandy its hit critical mass and can't be ignored. Now its a question of how effective the response will be. I'm less than enthused. It was pointed out at the 4th ward meeting that we contracted for enough sand to do beach replenishment up to 34th Street. But supposedly, because of the piping plovers, beach replenishment will end at 14th Street. So the solution for where to get sand for the south end seems to me a no brainer. Stock pile additional sand from where we're dredging at the north end and truck THAT sand to the south end beaches. Don't take it from our beaches.

But there I go complaining again. Being a part of the problem and not the solution.

Eric - don't even listen to this guy Frank - telling us he "knows for a fact they care" and telling people to stop "pointing fingers" what a fool. No bid contracts? jobs given to off island vendors? Bad decisions concerning zoning? Over development? no beaches in the south end of the island? DISGUSTING! you speak up all you want and don't let such fools like Frank here stop you. This town is immoral and unethical -- speak up and Frank - go have a good cry - you and the others that "care" because your not worth much when it comes to correcting the problems

are you kidding? I do not appreciate you calling me a "fool".

are you kidding? You have know idea what my worth is when it comes to correcting problems.

frank, i am not attacking you and have followed all of these posts. what do you mean by your comment " You have know idea what my worth is when it comes to correcting problems." Please elaborate. Thank you.

No one has any idea what you are even talking about, Frank. You just continue to tell everyone to stop making negative remarks, don't bring up anything that is going on (like no bid contracts which should not happen or giving $20,000 of work to off island vendors, which also should not happen) OK whatever you say Frank. We will all just shut up and take your word that all is fine! Whoever you are -- and -- Frank said to stop talking about any problems in Ocean City because he says that everyone "cares" (whether it results in actions apparently is irrelevant) OK Frank -- now Mr. Price - Frank says to stop bringup up any no bid contracts and any conduct that is questionable -- so you better just do what Frank says because we "have no (I mean know) idea what his worth is when it comes to correcting problems" No we do not that is a fact but from now on - Eric, Ed Price -- just hush up Frank said so

your r not kidding...now you are just being silly. You are missing my point completely. I never commented on any of the bid contracts. I am sorry by all means please continue making comments, assumptions, accusations, and personal attacks.

It might be time for some of the people commenting to actually use some facts in their comments and as one person said use their REAL NAME!

The No Bid Contracts are fact, Doug Walker admitting to "pay to play" is fact, Jay Gillian painting the curbs is fact, the city ripping down the Bellevue without state permission is Fact! If anyone wants the facts, call me! Or JUST STAND UP!
