Middle Township - If people run for local office and county office, why do they get paid, plus benefits? They volunteered for these positions. It's not like they are in the office eight hours a day, five days a week, but yet they criticize and berate our city employees just because they were elected. What gives the mayor of Cape May the right to tell a chief of police he is not qualified for the position? Chiefs of police and fire chiefs are trained professionals. All over this state, elected officials have overstepped their grounds. Voters, get out and support our professionals.
