THANKS I JUST FOUND THIS ABOUT IT AS WELL - JZ
"The final hurdle for Thunderbolt Raceway is to see Governor Corzine sign
the Sports and Entertainment District legislation (Bill # A 1054) that has
been approved in the NJ Assembly and not yet heard in the senate economic
growth committee and the full senate. The bill needs to be signed by
Governor Corzine in December for NJMP to break ground in Feb-March 2007.
"Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew, the leading sponsor of A 1054 has asked that we
all respectfully contact Senator Ray Lesniak, who holds the keys to the
senate approval of the bill. Senator Lesniak chairs the senate economic
growth committee, and he must agree to hearing the unaltered version of the
assembly bill A 1054 in his committee and release the bill to the full
senate, where Senate President Codey must agree to place the bill for a full
senate vote.
"Senator Lesniak can be contacted as follows:
senlesniak@njleg.org
telephone: 908 624 0880
"He resides in Union, NJ and is an attorney. He is quite familiar with the
legislation, so please either e-mail him or call his staff to voice your
support and desire for the Senator to move this bill as soon as possible, so
Governor Corzine can sign the bill in December.
"Please take a moment from your day to contact the senator. Please spread
the word. If each of us makes contact with him, it will surely make a
difference."
Thanks, Chris

The Honorable Ray Lesniak,
I write in support of Sports and Entertainment District legislation (Bill #
A 1054) to facilitate the development of Thunderbolt Raceway in Millville.
This project will produce wonderful economic benefits to Millville and the
surrounding area, drawing tens of thousands of race and track enthusiasts
and their families, including me. I urge you to progress this bill as
expeditiously as possible so that construction may begin early next year.
