For years, the same men and their cronies in Wildwood's government have frustrated political transparency, intimidated and retaliated against their many vocal critics, invented positions for friends and families, bloated an already absurdly large municipal payroll, mismanaged the town’s exorbitant tax levy, selectively enforced the law, hampered the growth of extant and emerging business, and embroiled the town and its citizenry in frivolous litigation. Citizens of Wildwood, we need new blood and new ideas. Bad blood and patronage politics have defined and defiled our city for far too long.
