T hacher Brown said he has not changed his mind: he still will not sign an easement granting access to his property for a beach re- plenishment project. ♦ “Our feelings here have not changed,” said Brown, of East Avenue, one of 70 property owners in Bay Head who have yet to sign easements. “The state has been unwilling to change the easements to satisfy our concerns.” Brown said he knows the state can take his property through eminent do- main. But he and other Bay Head resi- dents have resisted signing easements because they believe it permanently transfers a hefty portion of their private, beachfront property to the public with- out adequate compensation. Brown and others say they have always paid to maintain their own beaches and want to continue to do so.

Movie Review, 4D COLO. THEATER SHOOTER GETS LIFE TERM PAGE 1B TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie is taking heat for saying in Thursday’s presidential debate that he was appointed as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney on Sept. 10, 2001 — the day before the 9/11 attacks — when, in fact, he wasn’t confirmed by the U.S. Senate until more than three months later. The earlier date has rhetorical significance, inas- much as Christie was making the point that his back- ground as New Jersey’s chief federal prosecutor gives him unique insight into use of the Patriot Act and fighting terrorism. But his use of the word “appointed” attracted some criticism Friday, amid generally favorable reviews of his debate performance. Emptywheel, Gawker and Reason said Christie lied. Mediaite was slightly kinder, saying he “fudged his U.S. attorney credentials.” And GANNETT PHOTO ILLUSTRATION 'Like' us on Facebook and see what your neighbors are saying about the Jersey Shore's dune problem and Barnegat's bad playgrounds.
