The press conference conducted outside Earle by the District 12 team of Beck-Casagrande-O'Scanlan went off very well this afternoon from NOPE's perspective, as the team unveiled a bill that would require New Jersey's Treasurer to issue a cost benefit analysis and security report on proposed conversion of military housing to civilian housing at Earle Naval Weapons Station, and places a moratorium on issuance of certain State permits and plan approvals. Please follow this link for more details.
Just as significantly, Kellie Drakeford from Senator Robert Menendez's office read a letter co-signed by Mr. Menendez and Senator Frank Lautenberg that will hit the Secretary of the Navy's desk, expressing their concern about the Navy's plans for Laurelwood housing. We'll post a copy of that letter once NOPE obtains it, and are glad after a year's worth of effort to get an announcement from our U.S. Senators.
