Reply6 2/3 million bucks won't go very far. How many of Toms River's 10,500 houses have to be demolished? How many have to be elevated -- or face annual premiums as much as $31,000? How many will be bought out by the state? That leaves a lot that will be sold at a loss -- or abandoned or foreclosed.

Everyone near water, including lakes and rivers coast-to-coast, will be socked by FEMA's bail-out expenses! Staying in our homes will be unaffordable, except for the rich. There will be tens of thousands of abandonmenbts and foreclosures. ==> StopFemaNow.com <== Congress must fix the bungled Biggert-Waters Act.

ReplyHow about a waiver (for seniors, handicapped and others with less than $100,000 income) from FEMA's expensive elevation and annual premium mandates? Then 50% of the population can afford to stay in their homes at the Shore. StopFemaNow.com

ReplyConservatives forced a bad compromise on Congress as a condition of extending the flood insurance program -- just like they're messing with Social Security and Medicare now -- and just like Christie got rid of property tax rebates for NJ's middle class. When will voters ever learn about the Republican agenda?

"In yet another effort to move the township forward the governing body at the April 23 Township Council meeting" voted to do something that had been done SEVEN MONTHS BEFORE by another town and had been copied by others across the state. Wow, jumping on the bandwagon half a year later... Scintillating progress by the old boys!
