Cost Saving Consolidation
Eagleswood Township (West Creek) in southern Ocean County aims to save taxpayers money by moving its Municipal Court operations to Little Egg Harbor (LEH). It will still be the Eagleswood Municipal Court, but it will be located at 655 Radio Road in Little Egg.
This follows pleas from Governor Corzine for municipal consolidation and a study by the Eagleswood Committee.
After determining the costs of bringing the Eagleswood Court up to new safety codes, hiring a new court clerk and the annual loss of more than $40,000 annually in the operating budget, the Eagleswood Committee began working with Little Egg Harbor on a ‘shared services agreement’.
All Eagleswood municipal court functions are expected to transfer to Little Egg Harbor by the first of the year. The agreement calls for LEH to receive all fines levied by the Eagleswood Court, while Eagleswood would receive money from a surcharge proposed by Governor Corzine. The surcharge program hasn’t yet been finalized.
Eagleswood comprises nearly 19 square miles in southern Ocean County. It has more than 16 square miles of land and about 2.5 square miles are water covered. It’s population is about 1500.
The Township already has a ‘shared services agreement’ with Stafford Township (Manahawkin) for building inspections. Homes for sale in Eagleswood

Traveling on the NJ Parkway this Weekend?
We’re used to traffic at the Jersey Shore, it increases Memorial Day and continues through Labor Day.
There are two heavy traffic days off season, one in the spring (Mother’s Day) and one this weekend, Thanksgiving!
To make your drive safe and easy, remember…
· The speed limit on the Garden State Parkway is 65 mph. But between Exits 80 and 100 the speed limit is only 55. Lower limits around construction areas should be expected.
· Keep right except to pass.
· Tolls on the Parkway vary and maybe 35-cents or 70-cents. There tolls at some exit booths and are generally 25-cents.
· When you come to a toll booth, remember RED coded booths can give change and receipts, BLUE booths are exact change only, and PURPLE booths are for E-Z Pass holders.
· Call 732-PARKWAY for reports on current traffic conditions and weather advisories.
· Buckle up and put that cell phone away. Talking or texting and being unbelted are primary offenses in New Jersey. That means you’ll be pulled over and ticketed even if you’re doing nothing else wrong.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Economic Stimulus in New Jersey?
The New Jersey Senate has given final approval to a package of bills, touted as an economic stimulus package for New Jersey and its struggling businesses. The proposals were called for in Governor Corzine's recent economic address to the Legislature. The Governor is expected to sign those bills quickly.
Two bills, amended in Senate Committee and approved yesterday, now head to the Assembly for approval.
The $25 million Mortgage Stabilization Program and the $15 million NJ Housing Assistance and Recovery Program will now be considered by the state Assembly.
The Mortgage Stabilization program will bring lenders and the state together to modify mortgages so they’re more affordable. It will also make available loans of up t $25,000 that would require repayment. According to the NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA), that will help between 1,500 and 2,500 homeowners on a first come, first served basis.
Under the NJ Housing Assistance and Recovery Program, certified community organizations will receive state funds to enter into lease-purchase agreements with struggling homeowners. The organizations will purchase the property and rent it back to the current homeowner at an affordable rate for up to three years. The property would then be sold back to the homeowners when they are financially ready.
These bills were to be financed by a $2,000 foreclosure charge. Initially the Governor wanted banks to pay a fee for each foreclosure. Instead, the legislation now calls for funding from a $650 million account that was set aside to pay down some of the state’s debt.
While, I’ll be the first to admit New Jersey’s got problems I’m not convinced we’re headed in the right direction.
Of particular concern is a delay in paying down the state debt. We already have the third highest debt to income ratio in the country.
Will these measures help New Jersey’s struggling homeowners? Only time will tell, but I’m not banking on it.

A Background of Client Service & Satisfaction
I was born and raised in New Jersey. At various points I've called Essex, Morris, Ocean, Somerset, Union, Mercer and Middlesex counties my home.
I wasn't raised in Ocean County, though it was my first stop after graduating from New Mexico State University in 1976.
Immediately I was taken by the great variety of natural beauty...from the ocean views and tidal wetlands to the vast pineland reserves and the wealth of history that dwells in its boundaries. Not to be taken for granted is the great mix of newcomers and the children of generations of pinelands residents.
My degree is in Journalism & Mass Communications. Professional experience includes:
WOBM FM News Director, announcer, reporter, talk show host.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH on local, legislative, state and federal political campaigns for both parties.
CONSTITUENT SERVICE Directed outreach and service for various state legislators and several state government departments. I was appointed by both Republican and Democrat Governors.
HOSPITALITY SERVICE/MANAGEMENT from fine dining to wedding planning and service supervision.
REALTOR ASSOCIATE making dreams come true!!
