     Assuming you are of a certain age, you are probably fully aware of what I am referring to. I'm just pointing out if it's too good to be true it usually is or a better expression would be: There are those that can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
     
     I'm writing about what is on the Republican candidate's page. Fair game. The Republicans want to use it and don't want any feedback? Oh well.
     
     My blog comment was not referring to the fire today or the helmets that children on bikes do not wear.

  I agree with Publius on this one. Mitch was doing the job he is paid to do. I don't think it is hypocritical as that is his job. He wasn't busting kids for not wearing helmets as full-time Manasquan police officers are now doing. However, that, too is okay. Perhaps a better way to enforce the helmet law for juveniles would be to confiscate the unhelmeted child's bike and require the parents to come in and pick it up after purchasing a helmet for the child. I believe Point Beach police have done this in the past during the first couple of weeks of school at Antrim. By the way, Mitch was out there with the other firefighters in this town, Beach and Brick extinguishing the fire on Arnold Ave. Yes, he probably has a lot to learn as far as politics go, but he seems like a standup young man. If he is elected, he can hopefully rise above the nasty politics perpetuated by both political parties. Hopefully, he can be his own man and not beholden to either party. Time will tell.

  Noone is faulting Mr. Remig from doing as you say 'something he gets paid to do', he went to school and achieved the right to become a Class II, that town paid for him...How many bikes has he confiscated? or is the practice of enforcement selective. I'm sure Mitch didn't bring that fire down alone. It was a combined effort, from multiple jurisdictions. I betcha, he didnt even make the decision to call those agencies nor dispatch them out. My point, many people have become members of the same organizations, and many people volunteer their time while going to school to achieive what their endevors may be. Some people volunteer because they want help with sincere intentions, and then you have some that achieve just to gain notoriaty.

  Didn't mean to get off topic, but special officer is his job and he was doing it. I don't know that he is an underage drinker. What I meant is that him doing his job should not be seen as hypocritcal unless you know for certain that he is doing what many others his age are doing - underage drinking, illegal drug use. I also don't know that he got involved with the volunteer organizations just to gain notoriety. He has been involved for several years - he didn't just sign up on a whim before the election. I don't mean to sound like I am defending him but attacking him for doing his job doesn't seem right. Should he avoid arresting people who appear to be the same age as he is if they are violating the law? Now that to me would be hypocritical.

  If the information is provided in campaign literature it is fair game. I believe I stated this already. You can always try to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. You can spin anything and make it sound much more amazing than it really is depending on the money you want to spend on ghost writers and campaign managers.
  
  If you are going to run on your accomplishments, it is fair to scrutinize them.

You really are to much because when I read this I say good job get that off the streets but apparently you would rather see the drugs still around? I hope you curb the dogs you walk everyday I wouldn't want you to ever break the law.

  I checked out the campaign literature on the website and I agree Mitch Remig should not be using arrests pulled from police blotter as his campaign literature. I did not realize that the campaign lit. had a list of arrests he made. Yes, those arrested should be suing him and his superiors in Manasquan should insist that it is removed from a political website.
