Atlantic County Clerk candidate Lisa Bender is pushing back against criticism of her proposal to bring county government services directly into local communities, saying political opponents have misunderstood her plan. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, appearing on WOND, Bender, a Democrat challenging incumbent Republican County Clerk Joe Giralo, explained that her proposal for a mobile office would not involve visiting residents' homes or purchasing a specialized vehicle.Instead, she envisions bringing county employees and portable equipment to municipal buildings, libraries and other community locations, potentially offering services during evening hours when many residents are unable to visit traditional government offices.
