Superior Court Decision Rendered on Mayor Barrella's Recall

Superior Court Judge Joseph Foster in Toms River enabled a recall process of Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Vincent Barrella to proceed. It is now possible, although by no means assured, that a general election in November will determine Mayor Barrella's fate. A related story appears online and is titled Recall of Point Pleasant Beach mayor may apear on general election ballot. The article quotes Barrella as labeling the decision as "grossly erroneous" and this appears in it:

"I know the difficulty in having an appellate court overturn a case that’s couched in factual terms, but in this case, this judge simply paid no attention to the new statute, relying entirely on prior law that has been overturned," said Barrella.
