Long Beach Island Easement Holdouts Officially Called Out
Last week, Gov. Christie warned each easement holdouts on Long Beach Island and the rest of the state that every power will be used to obtain these holdouts signatures.
As promised, as the deadline passed this week for signing easements, officials in Long Beach Township took the somewhat unusual step of publishing all the names and addresses on the township website (click here for full list) of those remaining residents who have yet to sign their easements.

There is no more time to wait for those that either think they will be given money for there easements or are just - as most would say - are selfishly holding up a project that can prevent millions in damages, all for a view.
