At the first meeting since the Nov. 7 general election, Wildwood Commissioner Steve Mikulski made a motion to invite Commissioner-elect Ernie Troiano Jr. to join the board of commissioners. The Cape May County Herald reports
Mikulski and Troiano, who ran as a team, were the second and third top vote-getters, Nov. 7, beating out Deputy Mayor Krista Fitzsimons’ running mates. Fitzsimons did not second the motion, which meant the motion died without a vote. She expressed surprise at the motion without having been informed prior to the meeting that the issue would come up.
Speaking after the meeting, Mikulski said his reasons were simple: There is an absence on the board and Troiano has been elected to one of the seats as of the reorganization meeting in January.
