"As the winter storms earlier this year dramatically demonstrated, without this long-needed remediation, beach erosion will continue to pose a hazard to the people who live in Camp Ellis, Ferry Beach and other area neighborhoods," Allen said. "I urge the president not to veto this important legislation.”
