To the Editor:

The Atlantic could have up to six major hurricanes in 2020. As a year-round Surf City resident, that prediction is alarming. As a renter it’s daunting because my wife and I were denied an emergency re-entry placard by Borough Clerk Christine Hannemann.

I appealed the decision at April’s town council meeting. Mayor Francis Hodgson said his practice of preventing renting residents from obtaining re-entry placards would be put under revision, and I would be advised.
