I live in North Wildwood and could never understand why mayor and council would want a part-time position on council until I checked what each of them did for their full-time position. None of our council members, including our mayor, have a full-time position. One is a seasonal bar manager, one is a seasonal pizza worker, one is a seasonal food server. Two have no jobs and the mayor has three seasonal businesses. Now I understand why they want to be part-time elected officials as we the taxpayer's pay for their free year-round health care. We need to think twice when we vote.
Moderator's Note: Don't overlook the fact that full-time, year-round jobs are scarce.
