Short Hills Association Praises Mayor After Sandy

Letter to the Editor: President Eleanor Wallen writes a letter thanking the Millburn Mayor Sandra Haimoff for her efforts following Hurricane Sandy.

Millburn Mayor Haimoff’s power restoration effort

We wish to thank Mayor Haimoff for the twice-daily updates on the power outages after Hurricane Sandy.  She has been working long days tracking the thousands of locations which remained without power past the initial four days.  Her numerous appeals for help resulted in the assignment of a JCP&L vice-president to oversee power restoration.  Despite her prodding JCP&L was unable to meet their promised deadlines.  The Millburn police deserve commendation for their excellent service and emergency management these past two weeks.

The Short Hills Association is sponsoring an Electric Power Forum November 29 at the Education Center, 7:30 p. m.  The public is invited to question local area managers of JCP&L as well as a representative from the NJ Board of Public Utilities.  We have scheduled this Forum as a positive opportunity for residents to ask questions and to offer suggestions that will lead to better planning for such emergencies in the future.
