From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
On February 11, I hosted a very productive meeting with our State legislators and numerous officials from Cape May County, with the sole purpose of discussing the problems that some juveniles are creating during the summer season. Approximately 50 people were in attendance at the meeting, including mayors and law enforcement officials from nearby municipalities, our County Sheriff and Undersheriff, and several representatives from the Board of County Commissioners – as well as Senator Michael Testa, New Jersey Assemblymen Antwan McClellan and Erik Simonsen, and Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland, each of whom joined me on the dais.
