Wildwood - The Wildwoods' Boardwalk is a major public thoroughfare, with a heavily used mass transit tram (10,000 daily riders in summer). Millions walk the boards annually. Restoring it is an entirely appropriate investment of state funds. Tourist taxes that some opponents call "local" actually go to Trenton. Spouters opposing taxes for boardwalk reconstruction under the heading "Wildwood" probably refer to the topic, not their town of residence. I never met a local who doesn't support the work, which is vital to the tax base of our island and the state.
