UNofficially Winslow Receives Email

I would like to thank Assemblyman Lou Greenwald for coming to the aid of our small community of Elm in our eleven year struggle to get clean drinking water. Before he became involved we were ignored, placated and dismissed by the NJDEP and all other representatives both state and local. Because of his efforts we are now assured of the community well that was promised eleven years ago and then forgotten. He and he alone, decided that the health of our citizens was important. Before his intervention we struggled with the assurances of all that our water was "safe to drink" and that there were no health problems to worry about. During that time we watched as our neighbors came down with all kinds of diseases and conditions.

The polluter, Metec Inc. was allowed to continue on its merry way while the NJDEP simply ignored our plight. Now, Metec Inc. has paid for the installation of the well that is in the planning stage. Assemblyman Greenwald did this for us, God bless him. He deserves to be re-elected because he for cares the people that he represents. I hope that, in fairness, you will put this letter on your site.

Thank you,

E.F.W.
Elm, NJ
