To the Editor:

After much consideration I have filed a petition to run for the Long Beach Island Consolidated School Board of Education representing Barnegat Light. I have attended many recent board of ed meetings and presentations and truly feel there is need for change in the representation from my town.

The culture of secrecy that has evolved is most disturbing and has been perpetuated by the Barnegat Light representative, as proven by comments made at these meetings.
