Hazlet, NJ - Assemblywoman Amy Handlin and Residents Against Giant Electric (RAGE) will co-host a town hall public meeting Wednesday night at Raritan High School, where a University of Albany professor will speak about the risks of electromagnetic field exposure. The meeting comes as RAGE tries to stop Jersey Central Power & Light from building electric lines from Aberdeen to Red Bank, as many people in Monmouth County are concerned about the health risks of electromagnetic radiation from the power lines.
