For those of you lucky enough to be retired or unemployed, there will be a press conference on Friday on the entrance road to the old Ace Campground in Hammonton.
The subject matter will be an update on the State's new illegal dumping crackdown.
This is a good thing.
Here is the text of the news release that I received a few minutes ago.
I wanted to paste just the link but the link hasn't appeared on the NJDEP website yet.
