POINT PLEASANT — The borough council’s Jan. 9 meeting was filled with tension as Councilman William Borowsky returned to the dais for the first time since losing his challenge to Mayor Robert A. Sabosik in the November election.
The agenda was brief, as council members had just met during their annual reorganization on Jan. 2. But the Monday night meeting got off to an energized start with Mr. Borowsky using his committee report time to voice grievances about what he described as “disturbing” assertions made about his son during the mayoral campaign.
Mr. Borowsky described a letter that he said falsely claimed that his son was dishonorably discharged from the Marines for declining a vaccination. He said his son received a general discharge for that personal decision and, in any case, should not have been “dragged into” a political campaign.

“I’m trying to get to the bottom of it and find out where it [the letter] originated, but I don’t know if I really want to, because it’s got me so angry. And that’s part of the reason why I haven’t been at these meetings– because I’m angry,” said Mr. Borowsky, later saying of his son, “He did nothing wrong other than trying to defend his country.”
