Kyrillos: Shadow Lake Cleanup Legislation Signed into Law

Middletown– Senator Joe Kyrillos, co-prime sponsor of the original legislation establishing New Jersey’s landmark Environmental Infrastructure Trust (EIT), is pleased to announce that special financing for the cleanup of Middletown’s Shadow Lake has been signed into law by Governor Christie this afternoon:

“The Environmental Infrastructure trust was created to help communities finance costly remediation projects just like Shadow Lake in order to improve and preserve our state’s natural treasures,” said Kyrillos. “The remediation of Shadow Lake is a project has been in the making for more than a decade. Thanks to the bill signed today authorizing the latest round of EIT financing, the residents in and around Shadow Lake and Middletown will secure the necessary resources to begin its cleanup. Middletown Township will use $2.7 million in low-interest loans to dredge the lake and deposit the spoil in a licensed facility approved by the DEP. I look forward to working together to ensure that this project is completed.”

    About time Middletown taxpayers got some money back from the State … by the way, this is not a grant, but a low interest loan which will be paid back.

    Thank you Joe!

    About time? Yes, since that last $12 million check Middletown picked up from the county to buy open space.

    Suburban Welfare Queens.

    If welfare were loans, this country wouldn’t be broke …

    Only in a fantasy land is a “loan” actually welfare.

    How much do Middletown taxpayers send to the state? It would be best if we kept that money here in the first place.

    Looking at the names of the firt two posters, I can only ask, :Excellent Adventure” or “Bogus Journey”?

    Digger the $12 million wasn’t a loan it was a gift from the taxpayers from places like Asbury Park.

    Can’t you people in Middletown respect the free market system? Why do you have to turn to the taxpayer to buy your land for you?

    The lowered interest rate is also a gift from the taxpayer.

    Get off your lazy butts and pay for your own stuff instead of asking the taxpayers to pay for you, welfare queens!

    how many votes live around/ in Shadow Lake, period..same old, same old- in DC they call it “earmarks”.. which, everyone hates, until it’s one THEY want!. just like: “we need cuts,” but not on something I want/have/use!
