That is great news!
.now the towns won't be able to push us around so much.
Thanks for sharing.
Good to hear, it's about time.
Like Deal they will eliminate parking or like bay head no parking 8 pm to 6 am or one hour parking like some towns
point and Belmar are I believe $3 hour 24/7 to park
Good point. The shore towns in NJ gouge you for parking.
Or they will let the bourgeois get away with special treatment like they always do.Quote:

:clapping: Good job by our Governor. I see a lot of bashing him on different web sites. Maybe he's not the best, but he's certainly no enemy of fishermen like Frank Pallone is. Thanks for the info.
Can it even be possible that once in our lives, the government will be "for the people?"
Fingers crossed.
I am not a surf guy but I am empathetic to the plight. If you get federal money for a beach it should belong to everyone. That does not seem to happen in NJ. I think it was better when all access decisions went through the DEP. It seems it's finally shifting back to that.

That is great news. I have met Tim and he is one of the most well spoken guys on beach access and what sand replenishing does to the environment. The above looks like a good solid committee that will being in viewpoints that are valid and meaningful. Please keep us posted of any developments.
