Well I am sure y'all tired of my bus stories and the Bridge Plaza so lets return to Millville.
Judge Paul Porecca lost HIS lawsuit against the city. The Judge hearing the case said that all the items were corrected prior to the lawsuit. That was not good enough so he brought a second lawsuit to have his attorney’s fees paid ($65,000). The city countered to have their fees paid and the judge ruled that his attorney was not entitled to having the city pay his attorney’s fees because he did not win. Millville then dropped its countersuit to have its fees paid. The total cost was over $60,000. Boy what a waste of taxpayer money!! The ONLY one's who made out were, of course, were the lawyers.
Millville First incorrect statements they presented an 8 page report that outlines several give backs that they would like to have NJMP agree to. It appears that Millville First have the timelines incorrect on when the 200 acres were to be purchased and the creation of 1500 jobs would be at the completion of the project (7-10 years) not within the first 2 years of operation. They have also stated that there have been no economic benefit to NJMP. It was not mentioned that the City has approved 3 hotels. I think its only because of NJMP. Do you think they would be built or EVEN conceived in this slowing economy?? The present economic situation has slowed the projects.
It still has to go back to the planning board. Could there be someone from the city or the Commission giveing info to the Millville First?? Could be... There is also the outrageous lawsuit by the TrackRacket which which will enrich the lawyers and cost us Millville taxpayers even MORE $$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!
Well the Daily Journal practiced journalism and got results This was good news for the County taxpayer
This aint cool. A store was robbed on High Street near my house
This was not cool !!
Well, its Thursday Jan 14th and lots of bus riding and client interviews to go!!

Are you saying the agreement is that the 200 acres will be purched after 7-10 years?
Lawsuits are not always outrageous, but required. When one party refuses to recognize the issues presented by another party the only recourse is to drop the issue or file suit. TrackRacket has elected to pursue the issue, as they should. The NJMP is not being a good neighbor and they think they can do what ever they want without answering to the taxpayers. Remember, our commissioner's are accountable, also. Seems as though some of them may have violated the election process. I guess we should overlook that? History has a way of repeating itself. Maybe some of our leaders will be spending some time in jail?
Just a remindeer. The current Commisioners were elected with the opposition from Millville First which ran a slate of candidates and the TrackRacket. The racetrack was a CENTRAL issue even MORE then taxes. They managed to get elected.
You are correct that the leaders of the track have had a "tin ear" when is comes to responding to the concerns. Closing the track is NOT a solution. Folks got to start showing respect for each other.
