CHEER:Joe Matter, of Gloucester City, was honored recently in Field and Stream magazine as a Hero of Conservation. The article reads in part, Joe has spent his life with a shotgun in hand, bird hunting in NJ. Over the years, Matter started to see a decline in local bobwhite quail, and in 2007, he formed the NJ Quail project to help increase the populations. The group has successfully rehabilitated over 1000 acres of area farmland in one year, and they hope to implement a quail stocking program in the near future.
JEER: After raising the bridge tolls in September 2008 from $3 to $4, the
Delaware River Port Authority promised they would desist from funding capital improvements. Four months later… January 23, the board voted in favor of contributing $5 million to the City of Camden for three projects in that community. At the same meeting they gave $6 million to the City of Philadelphia; $2.5 million to build a restaurant at Franklin Square and $3.5 million to build an exhibit at the President’s House.
