Little Egg residents 1, Strip club 0

Congratulations to the good people of Little Egg Harbor and beyond for joining forces to oppose a strip club proposed for the main thoroughfare into the township. And kudos to the zoning board for denying a variance the strip club owner needed to proceed.

The turnout at Wednesday night's zoning board meeting was amazing. Hundreds of people packed Pinelands Regional High School to witness the proceedings.

This story is by no means over. A court challenge of the zoning board's contention that it didn't have jurisdiction to hear the case is likely. But it's nice to see the will of the people prevail - at least for now.
