He says fees brought in by tourism cover at least 70 percent of the borough's $12 million budget. Federal funds would help some displaced homeowners and help businesses build back inventory. Even though the boardwalk will be done in phases, he has stipulated in the contracts that it should be completed by May 10th in order to be up and running well... Read More |

The moon is in a waning gibbous phase which could add to the light pollution and wash out dimmer meteors.
The peak is predicted to be somewhere around 2:30 to 3 a.m. on Jan... Read More |

Late this afternoon word came that Speaker John Boehner scheduled a vote on $9 billion in flood insurance for Friday and the remainder by the 15th.

President Obama thanked all parties involved in the negotiations. The bill, he said raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing a middle class tax hike that could have sent the economy back into a recession.
