Deal will be tabling the vote on the Ordinance due to overwhelming public opposition! "Deal notified us today they were tabling the ordinance," DEP spokesman Bob Considine said. "We have concerns (that) it may impact public access, and it could conflict with the agreement signed with the U.S. Army Corps project. We also simply want to ensure that we work toward providing more public access and not limiting access." Nonetheless - we are keeping an eye on Deal to make sure they don't pull anything sneaky behind the scenes. Great work everyone! If it is true, this is a great victory for the local community and proponents for unrestricted beach access across the country! Congratulations!
