Dear Neighbor, 

Why would a committeeman asking you to re-elect him, Kevin Yeagle, appear to have been involved with a fake account used to promote the Mega Warehouse plan adding 500+ trucks a day to our streets and permanently destroying 100 acres of forest & farms?

It appears he posted using a fake Facebook account “Bill Miller” on community page “Pittsgrove Happenings” to support the widely opposed Mega Warehouse. [See Source 1]

Oops...

The fake account's "cover photo" appears to have been taken in Kevin Yeagle's front yard.

Oops Again...

Was this a mishap of forgetting to switch to the fake Facebook account? Kevin Yeagle's personal facebook replied, in full context, to a comment tagging the fake facebook account. A resident is seen replying to Kevin's Yeagles (quickly deleted) post.

Can you trust him to protect your investment into Pittsgrove as a quiet, rural place?

If you don't vote for change, the bad decisions won’t stop.

Now, do you know about the $5000 "Donation"?

Recently $5000 was sent by an out-of-town warehouse developer to the Recreation Board where Kevin Yeagle is a member [Source 2, 3].

Curiously, a short time later, his Recreation Board co-member, who also sits on the planning board, voted "yes" for the donating developer’s plan which adds 57 trucks a day to our streets. [See Source 4]

Source: July 23rd Meeting Minutes (Not Yet Published by Municipality)

Warehouse Developer plans appear for hearing approval. Dual member votes during approval of Warehouse Developer’s plan which adds over 50 trucks per day to Pittsgrove streets.

While we support recreation programs, did the $5000 influence the planning board’s vote?

And if it did, was it worth flooding our quiet rural streets with semi trucks and everything else that comes with that kind of development?

Everything that makes Pittsgrove unique is at risk when people make bad decisions that could jeopardise your investment with industrial blight. 

Thankfully, there can be an end to these questionable decisions : You need to vote. 

Angie Bradley is running this November on the platform of “Neighbors First”.

She’s the only candidate who protested the mega warehouse and truck increases.

She brings a master plan solution to ban industrial blight.

Pittsgrove voters have already trusted Angie by electing her to the school board where she has served with distinction.

There she helped a group effort that delivered sports and school facility upgrades funded by the State with no school tax increase. 

 

Angie Bradley is known by many as a "wonder-woman" in Pittsgrove’s District 4, with energy to fix up multiple houses, direct road cleanups, work as traveling nurse, coordinated free school supplies for students, all of this and a grandmother to nine.

Send this "wonder-woman" Angie Bradley to Township Committee!

Remember, she is the only candidate who stood with neighbors on the front lines of protecting our way of life and investment in Pittsgrove.

Thank you for your support over the years in keeping Pittsgrove a rural place.

We can’t fix every problem today, but you can now vote and pass this letter to family & friends.
