Don’t know if there was garbage can collection in Highlands on President’s Day Monday Feb. 20 when all borough offices and many businesses and offices were closed for the legal holiday.
But at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, the only garbage cans lining any sidewalk on Seadrift Ave in Highlands were those belonging to Councilman Leo Cervantes business, Chilango’s, or his house adjacent to it. The empty garbage cans on the sidewalk are a nuisance, but the appearance of the yard, the broken pieces of wood and the broken gate are certainly not what one would expect of a proud home or business owner, let alone an elected official.
I also wonder about the lengthy video of the Councilman chatting with someone and explaining how and why he was approached by strangers to buy his property for location of a cannabis business if the application was approved by the Land Use Board and selected by the State Cannabis Commission for the one cannabis business that would be allowed in town. I have not been able to contact the councilman for comment, and understand he is currently out of the country visiting family. The video has since been removed from the site but it is still available to view Here.
