The Battle Being Waged In Red Bank

  • Monday, October 27, 2014

Fellow Red Bank Residents:

You have undoubtedly noticed the plethora of candidate signs that adorn nearly every street and intersection in Red Bank. Surely you are aware of the critical election date of Nov. 4. 

I am gravely concerned – being a long term resident and property owner – that some are unaware of the “battle” being waged over the city’s direction and factors influencing property values. I say this because I have attended multiple sessions of the Red Bank Planning Commission and Red Bank City Commission. Both commissions have been surprised at the voter turnout, but I’m concerned there hasn’t been more interest.  

Fellow citizens, unless we invest time to truly understand what is being proposed we are susceptible to misinformation and influence and could well cost ourselves and the city untold millions of dollars.  

Please do your homework and understand the truth. The new rezoning ordinance that two of our commissioners are blocking can be found at the Red Bank government website.  This ordinance was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission.  

Hopefully you’ll vote to keep Red Bank moving by forward by voting for our Mayor John Roberts, Terry Pope and Ed LeCompte.
