Please welcome two new faces who will keep WOBM News live, local and late-breaking each weekend. Tony DeLuccio and Matt Fazelpoor.

.

From the NEWS desk of Tom Mongelli:

Plenty happening on the news front, as Governor Christie's budget proposals turn into a tug-of-war in the state legislature and a duel in the sun with the NJEA. Municipal budgets that run on fiscal years are being adjusted for worst-case scenarios, and education budgets are being hastily re-crafted for introduction before the April 20 school board elections.
Toms River's school budget gets a public airing tonight (3/28) at High School South. The district sets the pace for the rest of them countywide. Officials plann on getting almost 10-million dollars less from Trenton. Stacy Proebstle is there, and reporting the results. The Brick Township school budget meeting is March 30th.
In the event of a Republican Congressional primary in the shore's District 3, WOBM will conduct a candidates' debate May 11th. Two of the three hopefuls - Joe Rullo and Justin Murphy - are busy gathering grassroots support and have already agreed to take part. The big gun - former Philadelphia Eagle Jon Runyan - goes strictly on the advice of his campaign manager, who is still hedging. We will proceed with or without him.
Ocean County gets federal emergency funding for damage from December snowstorms, but not for the ones in February. Trying to get a straight answer from NJOEM about how this works is like nailing Jell-O to the wall, but we're nagging them about it anyway. Mostly because parts of LBI are starting to vanish under water.
The Shore group takes part in Ocean County's job fair, March 31st at Ocean County College; then takes the gear up to Monmouth University's April 14th job fair. Visitors from the stations welcome!
WOBM supports the US Census 2010 as a Be-Counted site. Anyone needing a blank copy of the 10-question form can find one right in the lobby, through April 19th.
Hey Monty Python fans - Neil Innes (leader of the minstrels in "Holy Grail," composer of nearly all the music, creator of The Rutles and founder of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band) performs a free concert April 11th at the Ocean County Library in Toms River. All together now: Spam-spam-spam-spam-spam-spam-spam-spam...
Guests for the April 7th Open Forum, WOBM-AM: New Jersey Assemblyman Joe Malone on the state budget battle, and former Toms River pathologist Dr. Charles Harris on the new federal health care plan.

Welcome the first full day of SPRING!

From the News desk of Tom Mongelli:

Supporters of the federal health-care reform bill say it'll widen access for millions of Americans. Opponents say it'll also cost us an arm and a leg and victimize the elderly. Our Congressman, John Adler, casts a "No" ballot during Sunday's House vote. Next month, he kicks off a diner tour throughout the third Congressional district.
An ordinance in Berkeley would require company trucks, cars and vans decorated with logos to be parked away from roadsides. Mayor Jason Varano says it's led to all sorts of improvised signage and left vehicles in place for weeks and even months. Merchants say it's anti-business. The Council meets Tuesday.
New pollution concerns surround the Barnegat Bay watershed. Stan Hailes at the Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program says that the march of development means more paving - meaning more stormwater runoff - and more toxins in the bay.
The pioneering municipal wind turbine in Ocean Gate meets its first enemies. Homeowners nearby say it's ugly, noisy and destroying their quality of life. Mayor Paul Kennedy says it's saving them boatloads of money on energy. He's scheduling an airing of grievances soon.
New Jersey Resources starts a solar-panel leasing program to turn alternative energy into an affordable commodity for homeowners.
Toms River School District's public hearing on the 2010-2011 budget next Friday at High School South. They expect to have almost 10-Million dollars less in state aid to cushion the costs. Not a whole lot of cheeriness in the room that night.
Jackson Mayor Mike Reina stages a senior property tax freeze seminar next Friday at Town Hall.

From the News desk of Tom Mongelli:

Local elected officials and school superintendents are bracing for Governor Christie's Tuesday budget address. Unquestionably, there will be pain - either in service cuts, job reductions or higher property taxes.
What's going to become of the acreage housing Fort Monmouth? A state legislative bill that would create subtle changes in the Fort Monmouth Revitalization Planning Authority is creating some unease among local officials, especially in Oceanport. A public hearing is scheduled in the near future.
Lakewood Community Services Corporation launches its six-week Entrepreneurial Training Institute. People who want to start their own businesses find out if they've got the real commitment it'll take, with support from LCSC, Union County Economic Development Corp, SCORE, and the SBA. Starts Thursday in the Lakewood Municipal Building.
Monmouth Freeholders push back a vote on their nearly half-Billion dollar budget to March 25th. The American democratic two-party system at levels of dysfunction usually reserved for Washington.
Now that Toms River businessman Joe Rullo has launched his campaign to overtake Jon Runyan for the right to run for Congress as a Republican against John Adler this fall, he wants debates. We're going to start those wheels in motion. Runyan's people are shielding him to a certain extent, presumably until he becomes more familiar with local issues. Rullo won't stop talking, as long as his window of opportunity is open.
Fan Fest time at First Energy Park - Lakewood Blueclaws tickets go on sale Saturday. Woo-hoo!
If you're interested in Community Emergency Response Team training through the Ocean County OEM, let me know. They're starting a new round of classes in April.
