The stop-and-go work of the borough's portion of the Green Brook Flood Control Project got a major boost Tuesday with the announcement that $13 million in federal stimulus money has been approved to finish the job.

In making the announcement, Rep. Leonard Lance, R-Clinton Township, also said that an additional $20 million in stimulus money will go to the overall project, which spans 12 municipalities in three counties.

The $13 million will be used to finish the South Main Street Closure Gate Contract and the NJ Transit Closure Gate Contract.

For Lance, this isn't an unexpected move. Quite a few Republicans across the country shouted up and down that the stimulus bill was a trough of socialist pork, then turned around and took credit for the stimulus funding in their districts. Lance is just another hypocrite in this regard.

Shame on the Courier News for their selective amnesia about Lance's opposition to the stimulus.
