On Jan. 1, Republicans Sam Colangelo and Mike Santo took the oath of office for three-year terms on the Tuckerton Borough Council. Colangelo, council president, has been on the dais for two terms and is chairman of the public works and water utility committee. Councilman Santo was appointed to council in 2015 after Mayor Buck Evans lost his bid for reelection to Councilwoman Susan Marshall. Santo then won election to the council in 2016.
