As prices rise, Asbury Park voters reject strict rent control ordinance
Updated 7:52 AM;
A proposed rent control ordinance placed on the ballot by an affordable housing group in Asbury Park was soundly rejected by voters on Tuesday, a month after a more modest set of tenant protections was adopted by the city council.
No-votes outnumbered yesses by a nearly 2-1 margin, 1,104 to 637, according to preliminary results posted by the Monmouth County Clerk’s office on Tuesday night.
The rent control referendum, like special elections across the state, coincided with local board of education races on Tuesday, and the 18% turnout among Asbury Park’s 9,676 registered voters was not much higher than school board elections typically generate.

New Jersey Department of Agriculture Secretary Douglas H. Fisher is encouraging New Jersey residents to help take part in eliminating Spotted Lanternfly egg masses before they hatch near the end of April or in early May.
Fisher and NJDA Plant Industry Division Director Joseph Zoltowski provide information and instructions on how to find and destroy the egg masses in a video that has been released to the public, according to a press release.
Spotted Lanternfly egg masses hold between 30 and 50 eggs of the invasive species. One sign to look for to see where Spotted Lanternfly has been is a black sooty mold on a tree.
