Little Silver's Mayor Neff Answers Readers' Questions (Part Two)

In the second part to the mayor's answers to Patch readers' questions, Bob Neff addresses borough ratables, idling police vehicles and just who paid for that pink stripe running through the center of town.

This is what we like about Little Silver Mayor Robert Neff, Jr.: Patch asked, he answered. This is the second half of Neff's answers to the over 15 questions Patch readers posed a few weeks ago.

Mayor Neff - I found this to be so informative. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm glad to know the status of gift winds and the Exxon station, which have been bugging me.
