• What about the jet skis? Clark Fire Official's Jersey Shore Trip in Department Vehicle Raises Criticism (shorenewsnetwork.com) — Clark residents are questioning why a taxpayer-funded fire department SUV was photographed towing a jet ski trailer to the Jersey Shore while assigned to Business Administrator James Ulrich.
