Maurice Hill, a candidate for Mayor in Toms River said not so fast.  Instead, Hill said, if anything Toms River should annex Lavallette.

“It’s critical that we spent a lot of money rebuilding Ortley Beach and I hope they would consider to remain a part of Toms River,” Hill said. “My attitude is Lavallette is surrounded by Toms River and if we’re going to talk about consolidation, perhaps Lavallette should become part of Toms River.”
