Barnegat Light native and commercial fisherman Tim Brindley of Bayview Avenue has publicly accused Councilwoman Dorothy Reynolds of “becoming a rogue” and “fear mongering.”

At the regular meeting of Sept. 11 during public comment, Brindley suggested the councilwoman had rallied residents to attend last month’s council meeting “with pitchforks” to oppose the motel/hotel provision in the borough’s master plan.
