Chris,

Respectfully LordJohn loves the fireworks, please do not group me with the anti fireworks folks. And than you for your volunteering, its what makes a town a community.

The fireworks are a perennial disaster. Drunken idiots battling roided out cops, Bennys littering our own personal Hoboken. What will we do without Kaboom’s Stinkfest?

Wow,
Some people are spending a little too much time on the internet blogging. People volunteer there time and you criticize them. The worst part about it, few have even presented any reasonable points with evidence, support, etc. Even better, the few points people have made have been purely incorrect, like the fire on Monmouth St??? I am only a volunteer fireman though, what would I know. I guess I am also the parasite of Red Bank since I am helping people who aren’t poor. Should we cancel the fireworks, jazz festival, tree lighting, etc. to be sure that no one comes into Red Bank? But I digress, get off the backs of those who volunteer their time in an effort to make Red Bank even better! Maybe LordJohnWarfen, DJLewis, sandhoofs, MustangSally, Tad, etc. should spend some less time on the internet and start helping out others with their apparent free time.

Yours truly,
EMT/Fireman Volunteer

I was speaking with a borough employee the other day about the four day work week and she told me that they were just taking longer lunches and more breaks during the day. How many smokers can you have outside borough hall during the day at one time.

Its unbelievable how people figure out a way to bitch and complain about a show they don't pay a penny for and enjoy with their families for free! Mr. Reinhart, I appreciate your hard work and know that so do the other 200,000 people each year that watch the show. Do not let the uninformed people, who think their tax money is going to pay for any bit of the show, bring down the positive atmosphere in which we welcome your volunteerism! Thank you.

With thanks,
Chris (Volunteer KaBoom Emergency Medical Technician)

The Police are paid for with your tax dollars.(They do a great job and earn every cent of it),but why the hell are we spending money on fireworks at the same time cutting services.
Jobs are lost, and pay is cut for employees so out of town slobs can shit up the town ?
I love the fireworks,but maybe we should scale down for a few years.

RBG please cover the story of furloughs and layoffs.
Your public will be shocked at what goes on inside the Boro Hall.

I remember sitting at Riverside gardens when it was an apartment building. The lawn out back was the primo site to watch from and was FREE! Charging for VIP seating is disgusting.

How about letting the elderly and the handicapped utilize it? Oh, I forgot, the almighty dollar comes first.

$ 200,000 is crazy to blow stuff up-people are starving and loosing jobs and homes. And quite frankley if you blew up $100,000
worth, would that ruin the event? I defy any audience memeber to watch any firework show and tell me whats a $ 2000 firework and whats a $10000 firework. Jeeze.
