Attention, Sussex County District 3 residents! Don’t be fooled by the yellow-and-blue and the orange-and-blue signs that you see posted on the highways and byways, street corners and fields. Look more closely at what has happened in our district in the last four years. How many hundreds of houses have been built on our wooded- and grass-lined fields? How many acres of trees have been cut due to greedy developers? How many hundreds of cars have been added to our already-congested roads? Schools are almost at full capacity, and EMS and fire volunteers are doing their best to handle the hundreds of increased calls. Now with the proposed mega developments of Northstar and Cool Spring Crossing, how much more can they handle? I wonder what is in store for District 3. Should Northstar need to come to a council vote, I wonder how Mark Schaeffer would vote? I’m sure he is aware that even the state agencies are opposed to Cool Spring Crossing.
This is why we need a change. Jane Gruenebaum is that change. Jane realizes we need balanced growth, preservation of our natural forests, solutions to our overcrowded roads and protection of our quality of life. Jane is prepared to meet these challenges. Enough is enough!
