A New Jersey mayor lashed out Friday at Jon Bon Jovi's charitable, "pay it forward" restaurant, claiming the eatery is attracting a problematic number of unhoused people to the town of Toms River.

Toms River Mayor Daniel Rodrick accused the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen of attracting homeless people to a downtown library.

"If they're going to turn this into a homeless shelter, hell, cut everybody a check and give them a Barnes and Noble gift card," Toms River Mayor Daniel Rodrick said.
