The Dom Giordano Program

Readin' Writin' and Reason | Teens at the Shore

Full Hour | Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in Ocean City Councilman-Elect Keith Hartzell, who has a lot to say after a stabbing on Memorial Day weekend on their world famous boardwalk.  Hartzell, who joined frequently last summer speaking out against a new edict set forth by the Murphy administration, once again explains how local police hands are tied in dealing with juveniles after the statewide edict disallowing police to address teen usage of marijuana or alcohol. Councilman Hartzell explains how this has all unfolded, explaining why not only Ocean City, but Wildwood and Atlantic City are also seeing explosions of teens on the boardwalk engaging in violent behavior, and how local leaders are working together to take on the State in hopes to change the trend. Then, Dom welcomes Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. on to discuss the wave of violence that shore towns saw this Memorial Day weekend, a preview of what may be a regularity throughout this summer season. Yesterday, after needing to issue a State of Emergency over the weekend, Ernie put out a news release that called attention to an edict set forth statewide by Governor Phil Murphy that largely ties the hands of police when dealing with juveniles on the boardwalk imbibing in marijuana and alcohol use. Mayor Troiano joins to delve into the situation, explaining what he hopes will be done to allow his law enforcement officers to keep these teen mobs from developing. Finally, Dom welcomes in Sea Isle City Mayor and Cape May County Commissioner Lenny Desiderio on to hear what can be done to control the situation in our shore towns after teenagers caused havoc in Wildwood, Ocean City, and other shore towns over Memorial Day weekend. Desiderio reveals that he has joined with multiple other Mayors to meet and determine how they can return power to their police officers, who’ve largely had their hands tied in dealing with juveniles after edicts set forth by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in a reactionary move to the heightened awareness of social justice in the summer of 2020.
