To the Editor:

Is cutting a police department in Little Egg Harbor, especially in these times, an effective way to cut costs?

I attended a crowded town meeting on Nov. 30. It was crowded because Little Egg is still reeling from a recent tax revaluation that substantially raised the real estate taxes on a lot of upland homes, while over 4,000 Sandy-damaged waterfront homes suffer from severely diminished real estate values.
