Another dog and pony show by the illustrious ACE and the CM town "fathers". Every project is a new twist to the old tale and always with a bad ending. Truth - Cape May beaches will be washed away along with the million dollar homes that feed the town coffers with their exorbitant tax payments - no matter how these dolts shadow dance and configure new ways to justify the influx of government funding, some of which is grafted as we all know.

Why dont they just leave the darn beaches alone and let nature takes it course for a few years, they already have ruined them! The jetties are gone, the fishing has been ruined, you have walk great distances now and the sand they pumped in is rougher then some sandpaper you can get!
Oh I forgot we have so many people flocking to the City of No that we need beaches the size of the Wildwoods, have to charge to get on the beach, soon to be cannot smoke on them & have zero amusements for kids!
But yep CM is the place to be! or Not!
