In 2018, the Hubbard Bridge connecting Middletown and Red Bank was largely rebuilt with taxpayer money. Your money was dedicated to the project at the request of then State Senator Joe Kyrillos. As Treton works, it was likely to secure his vote for the overall budget - and as a nice personal prize, he got his name put on the bridge. A victimless move right? Not really. The bridge was originally named for the Hubbard family -longtime Monmouth County residents - going back to a hero from the Revolutionary War - Jacobus Hubbard who is actually buried near the Middletown entrance to the Bridge. So a lineage of war heroes and doctors gave way in 2018 to a State Senator? Surely, Senator Kyrillos must have accomplished something BIG in order to steal the name away from a prominent, patriotic American family. Right? Well, not so much. Turns out, the Senator was responsible for grabbing some additional funding in a Trenton budget which was used to rebuild the aging structure. So , Joe K, gets a gift from the legislature - as they do often - throw some taxpayer money to a lawmaker to use locally in order to secure their vote. It's how Trenton works. So, normal day in Trenton securing votes with YOUR money, and a great American family is whitewashed from history? No way, not on our watch.
