Apparently Brigantine made wasteful health benefit waiver payments of $15,000 to three employees even though they received provided insurance from a family member, a report from the state Comptroller’s Office found. The report was a follow-up to a 2022 report detailing issues in the city including an underfunded lifeguard pension plan and nepotism issues. The follow-up report found that Brigantine fully complied with 10 of the 15 recommendations in the 2022 report, including increasing contributions to the lifeguard pension plan and reviewing sick leave payments to employees.
