OPINION: Ortley, Silverton Residents - Go To Christie Town Hall

Ortley/Silverton Residents: Go to Christie Town Hall in Brick and demand Answers.

Ask Christie if he's cutting Shore Protection funds by eliminating Realty Transfer Fees, which currently fund that program.

Governor Chris Christie will host his 120th Town Hall Meeting in Brick on Thursday, April 24.
