Okay, fine. $88 mm across the state. Are you saying this lawsuit is so that the 11th District gets the whole $88 mm, and the rest of the state can just pray Al Qaeda doesn't use Newark Airport again as a launching pad? Since Cain & Abel feel towns like Manalapan are getting "too much", I'm curious what they feel is the 11th District's fair share for protecting the homeland? I really don't feel like doing the calculations for every municipality in NJ, so I'll just focus on the money denied to Asbury Park.
The Democrats posing as Republican candidates in the 11th District argue Manalapan doesn't deserve such a large amount. I'd counter that the municipalities in the 11th District are too incompetent to put a Grant Proposal together. The State's HS money was allocated according to specific grant requests made by the municipalities. For example, Manalapan is using their $187,337 to allow FEMA to create and train Community Emergency Response Teams, or CERTS for short. Each CERT member is trained on disaster preparedness, basic disaster medical operations, fire safety, light search and rescue, and other essential topics. In the event of an emergency, CERT members can provide immediate assistance to victims, assist in organizing spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site and provide critical support to first responders. In light of recent news events, I'd argue every town should have a team of CERTs ready to react when disaster strikes. I'll make you a deal. Asbury Park applied for a grant through the state's HS fund. What exactly was it for, and how would it have been used to protect AP citizens from Al Qaeda? You prove to me that Asbury Park's grant request was to address a legitimate HS issue & denied, and on the day after Election Day I will gladly cut a check DIRECTLY to the City of Asbury Park equal to my family's cut of the $187,337 given to Manalapan. I don't want to hear about Wall protecting their rich guy airport or NJNG using government subsidies to pay for insurance on their headquarters. I want to know what exactly Asbury Park applied for and was denied. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "bluebishop82" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Please recalculate your numbers using a $100,000.00 fee to fight for > the redistribution of $88 million around the State. > > Thanks. ------------------------ Yahoo!
