The Map & The Commission

I think the fat lady has just begun to sing. From the article there doesn't appear there was any representation from the side opposing the closures.
Can't read the article without answering a survey or subscribing. No thanks. If it says that the state is getting ready to implement a new plan similar to the old one, then it certainly wouldn't surprise me.
This is just a reminder that continued vigilance is required. Although, the for a Carol Comengo piece, it was actually surprisingly unbiased. Maybe she took a look at it with a fresh set of eyes after all the backlash they received over her previous one sided pieces.
- Some sort of "plan" is still required
- Apologizes for not engaging stakeholders and that feedback is being considered
- No timeline for new plan
- No closures mentioned, but enforcement and technology was mentioned.
- Said the first plan was the result of that fire truck getting stuck (which is hog wash, it was hatched long before that)
I wonder who told them that?
Boyd, you don't have to take the survey, just choose the bottom one which lets you ignore it. Most of the time.
The Lebanon Super was at the November 5 meeting so I suspect that will be next or they may even roll it out with Wharton.
I think the biggest point taken from that article is that the PPA is still pressuring the DEP to close the roads
And now their pressuring the Pinelands Commission as well.

OK, I saw it, thanks Guy!
The biggest point I saw in that article was that they had the authority to close whatever they want, whenever they want.

Yea I'm on the same page as you. Show me a number on how much the DEP has spent to remediate these damaged areas. I want to see them fixed but if nothing was done then there was no expense to the taxpayers. The failed MAP plan cost us much more.

I just don't think people realize how much that plan has cost us. We only know a fraction of what really has been spent and what we know is disturbing. Every single employee of the DEP you can be sure of has spent some time working on or have been effected in some way with this plan and the wages right there are loathsome. They should be required before any plan like this comes out to show us how much it cost or potentially is going to cost.
This is the same Pinelands Commission that approved a pipeline to go through the Pine Barrens. It's hilarious that they are concerned about damage from ORVs when they've damaged the integrity of the commission itself.
