I dont live in the 5 towns, but I do know there was a dispute with a place and the Vaad. Im not exactly sure what the dispute was about, but it did seem clear it wasnt about Kashruth, but more likely about money.
There was also a dispute there about some wanted the vaad to put on the store that the owners were not Shomer Shabbos (The store was closed on Shabbos and had a Hashgacha, but the owners were not religious). That dispute almost split the Vaad
