The wife of a candidate for Red Bank’s Board of Commissioners is accusing three of the city’s current commissioners of holding a secret meeting only days before Election Day, and she says she has photographic proof.
The three commissioners — Floy Pierce, Greg Jones and Monty Millard — acknowledge they were all in the same place at the same time but say there was no backroom politicking.
On Wednesday, Pierce called the police on Callie LeCompte, wife of District 3 candidate Ed LeCompte, when she saw the woman taking pictures from across the street at Pierce’s business, Floy’s Creations on Dayton Boulevard. Ed LeCompte is running against Jones.
“Three of them meet together right before the election, of course they were talking politics,” Callie LeCompte said. “I was running errands up and down Dayton Boulevard and saw all their vehicles next to Floy’s.”
She got a photo of Jones talking with an unnamed Red Bank resident outside Floy’s Creations but didn’t get any photos of the three commissioners together.
