Several residents used the public comment period to raise quality-of-life issues for Carneys Point. Amy Tighe complained about barrels on a vacant lot near PT's Bar and expressed concern about increasing electric and gas bills and the absence of a local pharmacy. Mayor Bomba and Dr. Johnson pointed to existing assistance programs and suggested the township could hold informational seminars after budget meetings.
Leon Daniels asked the committee for an update on the DuPont litigation and said residents know about PFOA(s) but not arsenic in local water; he requested Solicitor A. Telsey's involvement. Mayor Bomba said he attends some meetings but noted travel distance limits his attendance. Casey Stefanski and others noted Health Care Common—offers pharmacy delivery, and officials suggested connecting seniors with the Office on Aging and Family Success Center for assistance.
