Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, and Assemblyman Paul Kanitra (R-10) have called for legislative hearings concerning proposals to lay high-risk power cables through heavily populated residential streets to supply power to a potential wind turbine project.

“Governor Murphy continues forcing through his reckless energy master plan with no regard to our communities and no concern for the cost, all to get his name in the news for making New Jersey the California of the East Coast,” said the Legislative District 10 Delegation. “These projects are high-risk and when we’re dealing with residential areas, we must slow down and do our due diligence to understand all the ramifications, potential dangers, and unintended consequences before breaking ground. The best way to proceed is with legislative hearings to ensure we act in the best interest of all New Jerseyans.”
