To the Editor:
Congratulations and a big thank-you to Mayor Joseph Mancini and Commissioners Joseph Lattanzi and Ralph Bayard for making Long Beach Township the first municipality on the Island to ban balloon releases. My hope is that the other five towns will soon follow.
Toward that end, I’ve ordered another 1,000 pamphlets focused on LBI that highlight the hazards balloons pose to our unique environment and marine life. I’ll distribute them at events and official meetings again this summer.
