I was able to attend the “Meet the Candidates” forum on Oct. 26 at Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven. I left the event concerned and frustrated. Here’s why.

There was a long discussion on the “teenage problem at Taylor Avenue.” All five candidates spoke as if this was a very important subject for residents and business owners in that area of town. Only one of the candidates, current Councilwoman Jamie Baumiller, is championing a $400,000 skate park at Taylor Avenue.
