Congressman Norcross Says Van Drew Needs to Apologize

Today Congressman Donald Norcross released the following statement regarding Jeff Van Drew:

\”Jeff Van Drew owes an apology to all those who endorsed and supported him, from groups like

the AFL-CIO, NJEA, SEIU and End Citizens United, to Governor Murphy, Chairman Currie and New Jersey’s representatives in Congress, to the people of South Jersey who thought he believed in the same things we do.

I was one of the earliest people in Congress to back an impeachment inquiry years ago because we must act to defend our democracy. Whatever party he claims to represent, Van Drew is just plain wrong to support Trump’s corrupt actions. I look forward to supporting the Democratic candidate next year who will truly represent South Jersey’s values.\”

Thought for the Day:

“It ain\’t how hard you hit; it\’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.\”

“You know, I think you try a little harder when you’re scared.”

Coast Guard responds to diesel discharge caused by boat fires in Great Egg Harbor

Seaview Harbor Marina

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. — The Coast Guard is responding to a discharge of diesel from two submerged vessels at Seaview Harbor Marina in Great Egg Harbor, Monday morning.

Watch standers at Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay received the report of the vessel fires from local police dispatch at approximately 1:50 a.m.

The estimated maximum potential for the discharge is an estimated 2,000 gallons of diesel. There have been no reports of impacts to wildlife at this time.

“Our pollution investigators are on-scene and overseeing commercial cleanup operations,” said Chief Petty Officer Christopher Brady, command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay. “Our goal is to ensure safe operations and to help mitigate environmental impacts resulting from the discharge.”

A salvage plan is currently being drafted by the responsible party for approval by the U.S. Coast Guard. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
