Freeholders, surrogate candidates come out against eminent domain abuse
FREEHOLD (MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ): Homeowner land rights are the corner-stone upon which democracy was founded.
Today, there are serious concerns in Monmouth County that government is over-stepping its powers and adversely impacting individual rights by exercising eminent domain in a way that is inconsistent with the intended use of such laws.
“What has happened to homeowners in the City of Long Branch is a prime example of the concern shared by every citizen in Monmouth County,” Democratic Candidate for Freeholder Barbara McMorrow said.
“In speaking with residents of Long Branch, there is great concern that private property is being seized by the government without proper consideration of individual homeowner rights.
“In some cases, very viable family homes are in jeopardy in a way that is inconsistent with the principles this great nation was founded upon,” Democratic Candidate for Freeholder Gregory Gibadlo said.
“In Middletown, my hometown,” Surrogate Candidate Beverly Bova-Scarano said, “there are similar concerns about how the county freeholders are abusing the use of eminent domain in the case of the West Front Street Bridge, which joins Middletown and Red Bank.”
“The county is proposing the construction of a new bridge in River Plaza because the old one is unsafe,” Gibadlo said. “Yet, one of the plans being considered by the county engineer rebuilds this bridge into a curved configuration that is a waste of taxpayer funds and would take one quarter of the property that the Walsh family has owned for more than 20 years.”
“There are questions how this project was noticed to the public and what is the purpose of new curved bridge,” McMorrow said. “In short, there are just more questions than answers. But these questions must be answered.”
“Why it is not tenable for a new West Front Street Bridge to be constructed on the footprints of the old one has not been credibly answered, in my opinion,” Bova-Scarano said. “And, before government starts taking anyone’s property these are exactly the kind of questions they have to answer.”
