The Senior Farmers’ Market
Nutrition Program, offering $30 in vouchers, is now available in Plumsted Township

County senior citizens 60

of Ocean County, including: DeWolf’s U-Pick Farm, 10 west Colliers Mill Road;
Hallock’s U-Pick Farm, 38 Fischer Road; Krowicki Farm , 862 Route 539; and Good
Tree Farm, 82 Jacobstown Road.
Annual Income eligibility

Services, Inc. of Ocean
County at 732-367-1400.
The N.J. State Assembly has
unanimously approved legislation, A-557, sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer, known as the cost saving – job creating
“Bidder Bill” that corrects a clerical oversight in the contractor bidding
process to allow government at all levels to operate more efficiently and save
taxpayer dollars.
Specifically, the Bidder
Bill, which now heads to the Senate for a vote, permits a business, due to a
clerical oversight for not attaching its business registration certificate
(BRC) to the bid documents, but was lawfully registered, an opportunity to
simply submit the BRC. Presently, government is required to reject the lowest
bid if the BRC was not attached and award to a higher bidder, increasing costs
to taxpayers.
