WILDWOOD, N.J. — In Jersey, you never know what you’ll get.
Two of Wildwood’s three commissioners are under indictment on charges of fraudulently receiving state health benefits, including Mayor Pete Byron, who also pleaded guilty in federal court to tax fraud in March and is awaiting sentencing.
Byron and Commissioner Steve Mikulski are refusing to resign. Mikulski oversees public safety, and the city’s police chief won’t report to him since his indictment, according to a city official, because were he a police officer under indictment, he’d have been suspended without pay.
