Hello Green Flag Members and Friends
Today was another very good day in the closing laps of our endurance
race to see the green flag wave for an early 07 groundbreaking for
Thunderbolt Raceway.
With leadership testimony from Assembly Bill Sponsor Jeff Van Drew and
Senate Bill Sponsor Nick Asselta, our sports entertainment district
legislation was released unanimously today from the senate economic
growth committee to the full senate for an upcoming vote in december.
The senate committee agreed on a few minor changes to the legislation
to further clarify the actual location of the sports district and to
how the funds must be used for infrastructure for the project, all of
which requires a concurrent vote from the full assembly and full
senate, to which we believe will occur in the first 2 weeks of
december, and then the bill goes to governor corzine for his
signature, which the governor has assured us he will do.
We owe great thanks to our district legislators and adjoining district
legislators for their tenacity in seeing this high profile legislation
to this point in time.
In addition, and we must say "WOW," and thanks to all the green flag
members, union leaders, business leaders, and public officials who
made the trip to trenton today to support project thunderbolt.
There was standing room only in the hearing room with at least 60
supporters in the room.
Senator Lesniak, who chairs the committee, opened his remarks by
saying he "has never seen so many people committed to a bill" as he
has witnessed for this legislation. Those words coming from a veteran
legislator speaks volumes toward the combined efforts of everyone
involved in this process.
Senator Asselta praised Mayor Quinn and the millville city commission
for their leadership and endurance over the last 8 years in seeing the
project come this far.
We also wish to express our appreciation to Tim McDonough from the
success group for his representation as the NJMP government lobbyist.
Tim has been working with the legislative leadership on this project
for many months, and his efforts were quite apparent today.
Let's keep our best wheels forward, and we will communicate soon
regarding pending votes in the assembly and senate.
