254 Washington Ave, Belleville, NJ
Time: 7:00pm
The Concerned Citizens of Belleville will hold a special meeting to inform New Jersey taxpayers of the details of a 10-state cap-and-trade program known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, known as "Reggie". The discussion will be presented by Steve Lonegan, state director of Americans for Prosperity.
Lonegan will explain that while legislation passed in 2008 creating RGGI was sold as a "green" program, it actually will force energy prices to skyrocket. The $65 million already raised from ratepayers did not go to "green" initiatives, but rather was used to balance the state budget.
The CCB invites all New Jersey residents to attend. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, at 7:00 p.m., at the Belleville Elks Lodge, 254 Washington Ave., Belleville, NJ.
