Assemblyman encourages shoppers and diners to visit
11th Legislative District Assemblyman Dave Rible visited Spring Lake's downtown business district on Wednesday, encouraging residents and tourists alike to support the shops and restaurants in the borough.

State Sen. Sean Kean and Assemblyman Dave Rible joined with business owners and local representatives to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the reopening of the Main Street (Route 71) bridge that connects Avon-By-The-Sea and Belmar over the Shark River.
