Tempatures Are Rising
The heat and humidity is coming back and asthmatics are beginning to suffer. So reports an MMM reader from Highlands who just called saying she was having a hard time breathing.
GET THE FRICKIN POWER ON!
Middletown Mayor Tony Fiore just called. JCP&L’s Roberta Sheridan called back and gave him an electric delivery 101 lesson. “All Available Men” are not at the substations because the substations are working. The problem is with circuits throughout the neighborhoods that must be repaired. That is where “all available men are” per Sheridan through Fiore.
All available men must be working out of Comcast, Verizon or Sewer trucks because there is not a JCP&L truck in the area that I have seen. If you see one, please post the location in the comments and I’ll run right over to take pictures.
Sheridan guaranteed Fiore that all of Middletown Township would have power by Friday.
That’s still too long as far as I am concerned.
Fair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre says he just heard the Governor’s office. Christie is ramping up the pressure on JCP&L. Christie’s representative told Halfacre that Monmouth County has more residents without power than all of the rest of the state.
Note to municipal elected officials. Fiore and Fair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre have demonstrated that the squeaking wheel gets the oil. Don’t be satisfied with the bullshit JCPL is feeding you. If you’re not satisfied with the answers your OEM team are getting through the established protocalls, call your legislators and the Governor’s office. Hold them to account. Feel free to use MMM the way Fiore, Halfacre and Toni Angelini have been. The public presssure is working.

You people are acting like a bunch of liberal New Orleans stranded on their roof in the Katrina flood.
Except you aren’t.
If this is the state of rugged individulists in Monmouth County – crying for government help – then Ronald Reagan scoffs at you.
Scoffs!
Hahahahaha…. it must be the unions’ fault or the teachers’ fault…
wahhh, Gov fatty won’t turn my power on fast enough… but I’m more important than the rest of the state. I got him elected!!! and how come the county isn’t doing anything for us?? we got them elected too… can it be assumed that none of you “tea party patriots” will be applying for FEMA assistance or the State’s financial aid because its not in the Constitution? meanwhile, those of us with power will continue to monitor News12 updates about North Jersey where people have real problems and may go months without power or a home. perhaps a reality check is in order.
Problem solved. Obama’s coming.
