Last October, Mayor Pasquale Menna told
“There should be a serious review of what is an archaic form of government,” one adopted in 1908, when Red Bank was a small village, Menna said at the time.
But there’s been no public discussion of possible reform since then at council sessions.
More recently, in its February 18 edition, the Asbury Park-based triCity News reported that Menna planned to “use his power as mayor to put an item on the council agenda in March to start the mechanism that could implement non-partisan election reform.”
