Call-in Day on Monday, 10/15. Tell our legislators not to flip flop now that they need to override the Gov’s veto of the fracking waste ban.


by guest blogger Linda Baum

As most of you know, I’ve been providing updates on the status of bills A575/S253, which ban the treatment, storage, disposal, and discharge of fracking waste in New Jersey. 

There is a push now to get legislators to stay the course and support an override of the Governor’s Sept. 21st veto.  The following NJ Assemblypersons representing Monmouth County voted YES the first time around and should be reminded to do so again when the bills come up for an override vote:

Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon (R )
Legislative District 13, Middletown & vicinity (732) 933-1591

Assemblywoman Amy Handlin (R )
Legislative District 13, Middletown & vicinity (732) 787-1170

Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande (R )
Legislative District 11, Freehold & vicinity, (732) 866-1695

If you are not sure which Legislative district you are in, here is a list of towns in each district:

District 11 - (Monmouth)  Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Colts Neck, Deal, Eatontown, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Interlaken, Loch Arbour, Long Branch, Neptune, Neptune Township, Ocean Township (Monmouth), Red Bank, Shrewsbury Borough, Shrewsbury Township, Tinton Falls, West Long Branch

District 13 - (Monmouth)  Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Fair Haven, Hazlet, Highlands, Holmdel, Keansburg, Keyport, Little Silver, Marlboro, Middletown, Monmouth Beach, Oceanport, Rumson, Sea Bright, Union Beach

Monday, Oct. 15 has been designated a special call-in day by Food & Water Watch, which has been leading the charge to protect our water supplies by getting this legislation passed.  With your help, we can generate hundreds of calls into the offices of the above legislators.

As always, thank you for your activism.
