Election Night 2013 is in the history books. There were several big races to watch out for aside from the Governor's seat.  In Brick Township, it was a battle over the Mayor and Council seats held for years by the Republicans.  That is, until last night.

Anger erupted during a Brick Township council meeting which passed a 4-3 vote in favor of a pair of controversial ordinances that eliminate certain government positions and create other ones.

­­­­­­ The budget presented by the Brick Township Council might have no tax rate increase or reduction of services, however Brick Mayor Steve Acropolis believes the Council’s plan does little of what they campaigned on.

With the deadline from the Division of Community Affairs looming, the Brick Township Council presented its version of the 2012 municipal budget, retaining the department of public works and keeping the tax rate stable.
