  1. Good Luck Vince and Juan! You have been dedicated and have worked hard to keep the fire dept running without going over budgets and keeping reserve waiting to purchase new equipment. Thanks for your 24/7 availability.

  2. Again I dont hide behide a fake name. I am asking all those who read this to take a monment and look at the facts. Mr. loigman who ran for office in 2011 stated he wanted to and would become involved in the fire department. Well here we are 12 months later and he is no where to be found including getting his own application for the board. Instead unknowns show up and hand in the form for him to run, Again I ask what is the motive behide this. I can tell all that Mr. Loigman is not a full time residence of Lakewood. I have been to the area of Hillside Terr in Ocean Twp Monmouth County and spoken with neighbors in that area who see Mr. Loigman and his wife go into his house more then if he didnt really live in the area. Second I again found out that as of Dec 2011, minutes from the Ocean Township Counsel meeting show Mr.Loigman who resides in that town, asking the Mayor about an agreement involving animal control between the Town of Ocean and the City of Long Branch. All I ask is why if you are living in Lakewood would you dare care about something like that .So Mr. Loigman I ask you why,, you have provided, false infomation of where you live and other facts including gear,equipment, budget surplus, and other information. So why would you run for this board besides maybe a promise of dropping a certain case or two (you and I know what I am talking about) Please ladies and gentleman vote for those who have served the fire department and not someone who cares more about animal control in another town and county. ( publice information on Ocean twp web site)

  3. #1 (moderated)
    #2 (moderated)
    #3 someone in a glass house should not be throwing stones…..Vincent LoBello does not live in Lakewood (public Record).
    Finally, Larry stands on a record of what to be proud of. I would love to hear what other commissioners are proud of.

  4. I did the research Ex-Chief Stillwell wrote about and Larry Loigman is brought up on the Nov. 2011 Ocean Twp. Town Council minutes. I also continued to perform a wider search of Loigman on the Ocean Twp. website and came up with his name being brought up at several Town Council meetings.
    So where do you actually reside Mr. Loigman, Ocean Twp. or Lakewood Twp? We the taxpayers and volunteers of Lakewood Fire Dept. deserve to know where your permanent residence is.
    What business do you actually have in Lakewood Twp., since my search finds that you have a law firm in the Middletown or Redbank area?

  5. I have lived in this area my entire life (48 yrs) and have seen the drastic changes over the decades. The shear deprivation of morality that has bestowed on Lakewood and the attacks on genuine citizens who have volunteered their time to aid Lakewood citizens, not forsaking their race, creed or religion. Over the past few days, I have spoken to numerous Lakewood citizens who have tried to have their voice heard in this forum (and I do not know if this will even be posted), but their postings were censured. It is disgusting to see how in the greatest FREE country of the United States their first amendment right is being censured and only the voices of the perverse dictating their own agenda are presented. Many in Lakewood have now used not only its citizens, but their local and state government for their own personal gains at the expense of honest, hard working citizens who not only have their home in Lakewood Township, but their business in the town. Vince has been an honorable volunteer and loyal resident and for shame on those who are speaking without knowing the real truth.

  6. to ex cheif stilwell

    its a democratic government and people have a choice who to vote for and shouldn’t be threatened and on the record at town hall is many times of vince showing his real colors and on the record at the fire district is vince saying “the point is not to let it get out” so he elected by the people to fool the people?
