This is an excerpt of an email I sent early this morning to Toms River Mayor Thomas Kelaher. I will be sending the same or similar to all council-persons, as well -- as a start. Receiving timely and adequate information is the first step necessary for Ortley residents to deal with this situation. Many of us may be without power, but, as tax-payers and members of the community, we should not be kept in the dark about our futures. I encourage all residents to call or write elected officials to express concerns and ask for answers.
Dear Mayor Kelaher;
