Spung Man for Governor! :dance:

revisting this thread from a few posts previous... I was asked about a breakdown of tax impacts regarding commercial development. Here is one case study showing the overall impact on the taxes on one community. This probably impacts the "municipal" tax portion of your tax bill. That accounts...

I know what you mean... I know there are conservationists out there that may go a bit overboard. I run into even on fishing. There are groups out there that want to close the fisheries and kill recreational fishing. What they fail to understand is most hunters/fisherpeople are interested in...

Spung Man... you've hit the nail on the head! Regardless of anything... we all agree we love the pines. A unified front is more productive than a divided one. All you have to do is look at our government to see that! If we all adopted a cause the involves preservation then perhaps our voices...

I love snipe! We have a few that show up in the yard time to time...love that bobbing thing they do! Bridge to nowhere in Stafford is another good place to ck out migtratory birds.. nice swan population there too!

With the market being down, this would be a good time to pursue that! I know some of the preservation groups are looking to purchase land right now because of that. So if anyone wants to join Freerider, this would be a good time to do it! I wonder if there are any sort of federally matching...

Someone needs to get things like that in front of both Stafford and Barnegat.. Mayor Block meet Open Space.... Open Space meet Mayor Block... he's never met a piece land that he didn't want to develop!

Hey Sprung! Thanks for the info... those are exactly the kinds of studies I've been putting in front of the planning board... ! Thanks for the link...I'll forward this to them too! One supercenter got turned down in Florida and they are turning the site into an eco-friendly park!

understood... I still believe its cheaper for a town to preserve a property than allow it to be developed. No drain on the infrastructure.. but your point is so noted. Ck out the Sandpaper this week... good article in there!

I would love to see a group of people get together and purchase large lots in the pines. Again, in as much as I like to see the natural areas stay natural, I know alot of ORV folks really enjoy the pines too. I have a Wrangler that I like to take out time to time myself. If done responsibly...

Not sure of the exact breakdown of who pays what. All I can tell is wherever there is major development with major shopping centers, the taxes go sky high. From some of the studies I've read while investigating overdevelopment issues, I see a clear pattern of higher taxes in areas with...

That is the myth of the ratables. My parents live in Stafford, have 1/8th of the property that I have and pay almost as much taxes. With all the ratables in Stafford, people should be getting checks from the township like the Alaska residents do for the pipeline! Most large developers, be it...

They've been showing up for a few years now. Never used to see them before.. I've lived here my whole life and it was very rare to ever see seals. Now they show up around mid fall... usually while Im bass fishing! If you see a seal, you might as well pack your gear and move on. They are much...

two words market saturation :(

This is fantastic news. We need more of this to happen. Which reminds, I need to renew my FRMC membership!

absolutely GORGEOUS pictures. You should consider entering them in the Seaport's photo contest. I think they do it in conjunction with the Decoy Show. As far as the development in Stafford, disgusting... greed has driven that area unrecognizable and why I moved to Little Egg. We can only...

I agree. In as much as Im kinda of a tree hugger, I do know that most people who enjoy ORVs also have a vested interest in preserving open space. Since that is the common denominator that binds, a compromise should be reached that benefits all of us who enjoy the outdoors and would rather see...
