Letter campaign for Oil tank fund - M/SO Community Forum: Letter campaign for Oil tank fund

jpickettMay 13, 2011

As you may have read in a recent thread, the UST Fund for leaking oil tanks is being underfunded for 2012 fiscal year. Although the budget hearings are over, I think there is still time before the budget is approved. Please email our NJ state representatives and senator your oil tank story if you are awaiting funding, or have yet to apply but have work ongoing/completed.
I think the state has put us in a terrible spot, promising funding, then yanking it with no notice. At a minimum, those of us who started remediation with the expectation of state assistance should voice our predicament. I know in my own personal case that the state funding is why I voluntarily pulled the oil tank this year.
Please write letters to Senator Richard J. Codey, Assemblywoman Mila Jasey, and Assemblyman John F. McKeon. Email would be best.
