To the Editor:

After reading “Real Transparency” (10/19), authored by Douglas Shearer, I felt for the first time in eight years as mayor of Long Beach Township I would answer a letter to the editor.

Mr. Shearer states that after Superstorm Sandy, “one of the first infrastructure projects initiated by the current Long Beach Township administration was the development of a paper street to the south,” Judith Avenue. In fact, the township did not initiate, develop or pay for that street, my company did.
