Mayor's Message 2012

mayortucci.jpg


















Residents of West Long Branch:

Thank you for the continued public trust and support that you have given to me as your Mayor.  I respect this position and consider it an honor and privilege to serve West Long Branch.

I would like to thank retiring Councilman J. Thomas De Bruin, who has served the borough with dedication, loyalty and hard work for the past six years. As head of the finance committee, Tom has continued the practice of former Councilman Dick Cooper by working endlessly to provide only minimal tax increases for residents for municipal purposes.  Tom and our strong finance committee made certain that all tax dollars were prudently expended.  He personally lobbied the Freeholders to allow our municipal library to become a part of the county library system.  By doing so this saved the West Long Branch taxpayers about a half- million dollars a year that will no longer have to raised by tax dollars.  Local personnel were not eliminated and library services were even expanded for our residents.  Change is not always easy and Tom orchestrated this campaign with dignity and respect to all concerned.  He recently led the finance committee in developing a new police contract as well as a change in health insurance carriers.  This will ultimately save the taxpayers a large sum of money in future years. How very proud Tom’s family must be that he was able to continue in a position that his Dad also held – it was my privilege to serve with both of these fine gentlemen.
