To the Editor:

I attended the June 10 Little Egg Harbor township committee meeting. There were many residents there objecting to the special assessment the town imposed on them for the dredging project. I don’t think any residents were against the dredging itself; they were against the $11,500 cost the town was imposing on each of them to do it.

Although the town is offering the option to spread payments over a 10-year period (with interest), the bottom line is they still must pay it.
