"Hey everyone! There's an update from our very own 'Mayor of Toms River' that comes straight from a trustworthy news source. Make sure to check out Reporter Jim Murdoch ‘s article to stay informed!"

UPDATED WITH MAYOR STATEMENT:

”These unfortunate people and their belongings are being brought to Toms River by nonprofits to be used as political pawns in an ongoing lobbying effort for a homeless shelter.” Given the heat wave - we will allow these folks and their belongings to remain for 48 hours until the heat wave passes. After that we will enforce our Township ordinance.” “I am also asking residents of Toms River to reach out to their county commissioners and ask them to stop using the Ocean County library as a soup kitchen and day shelter for the county's homeless.”
- Toms River Mayor Dan Rodrick -
