To the Editor:

There were approximately 150 people on Zoom for the Jan. 13 Long Beach Township Land Use Board hearing with Eileen Bowker of Bowker’s Deli. Eileen is a LBI community leader, on the LBI school board, teaches faith at St. Francis Church, and a Holgate Taxpayer’s Association trustee (all volunteer positions).

Instead of treating Eileen with reasonable respect due any applicant, Lynne Schnell, the LBT board chair, treated Eileen very disrespectfully and seemed extremely biased.
