JACKSON, NJ – Jackson Mayor Michael Reina submitted his resignation town hall this morning. The longtime mayor has been rumored to be stepping down for weeks, ahead of an upcoming promotion he will be receiving at his job at the Ocean County Bridge Department.

According to Ocean County Commissioner Frank Sadeghi, the county is restructuring departments and will turn Reina’s bridge department, where she is employed as a supervisor. Sadeghi said Reina will be promoted to a department director in the shuffle.

“He’s done a great job as a supervisor, and I think he’ll do a good job as the director,” Sadeghi said. “We’re looking to restructure engineering, road and bridge departments. There are people who need to move on, and those who are underpaid; there needs to be equity.”
