SPRING LAKE A concept first scribbled on a napkin

has been applied to waste management pump stations

in three coastal, flood-prone towns in southern Mon-
mouth County.
The New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure
Trust, an independent state agency that provides fi-
nancing for water infrastructure projects, has enough
faith in the concept to bank roll the next two stations at
a cost of $4 million.
When we lend money like this, we absolutely do it
with the resiliency perspective in mind. We dont want
to put millions of dollars of investment into something
to have it washed out in another storm, said David
Zimmer, executive director of NJEIT.
Officials call it a mobile enclosure pumping sta-
tion. The enclosure, such as a trailer, houses the pump

TRENTON Gov. Chris Christies designs on the
White House have triggered jockeying for position
among potential successors three years before Chris-
ties term ends.
The prospect that the Republican governor will
leave office early to pursue a presidential campaign
has changed the traditional timeline for New Jersey gu-
bernatorial candidates. Theres early groundwork ac-
tivity already taking place from both entrenched poli-
ticians as well as outsiders such as Middletown resi-
dent Phillip Murphy, who was the U.S. ambassador to
Germany for four years.
Murphy, a Democrat, has not yet committed to a
campaign, but he has hired consultants on New Jersey
politics.
Christie doesnt have to resign office to run for presi-
dent, but if he does, hell be succeeded by Lt. Gov. Kim
Guadagno until a special election on his unexpired term
is held in November 2015.
This all sort of reminds me of the 2012 presidential
election, when CNN the day after President Obama won
re-election did a story on the 2016 presidential
Would-be successors to Christie
already are jockeying for position

governor?
