New Jersey Election Commission Report of Political Campaign Contributions made to Mayor Pannullo by the owner of 8 Merry Lane which the Mayor is proposing to convert 8 Merry Lane to a hazardous Industrial Zone from an existing Residential Zone. So far there are $6,645 paid to Mayor Pannullo from MCC, Inc, who is the owner of the controversial 8 Merry Lane. Also, an additional $4,640 was paid to Mayor Pannullo from the owner of 8 Merry Lane legal and engineering team. ​
Were you aware that MCC, Inc has received over $226,000 in contracted work for the Township of East Hanover? Now, the same owner of MCC, Inc and 8 Merry Lane is having the Master Plan rewritten and a Zoning Ordinance proposed to convert an 80 plus year old residential zone into a hazardous industrial zone. Why is one person is benefitting at the expense of dozens of families in the surrounding residential zone? (Below is documentation from East Hanover illustrating over $226,000 awarded to MCC, Inc.)
You have a right to know.
Follow the money and you decide.
The Mayor, Council, and Zoning Board members are supposed to be a guardian of the town's zoning laws and not allow such arbitrary and capricious deviations from zoning laws which were created to protect residents.
See below who has accepted over $11,000 in political contributions from the industrial developer and his team.

DO YOU THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR A TOWN OFFICIAL TO ACCEPT MONEY (POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS) FROM A DEVELOPER AND THEN VOTE TO REWRITE ZONING LAWS TO CONVERT AN 80 PLUS YEAR OLD RESIDENTIAL ZONE INTO A HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL ZONE IN THE MIDDLE OF PROTECTED WELL-HEAD ZONE (SOURCE OF PUBLIC DRINKING WATER) & ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE WETLANDS?
If you don't think it is appropriate, please tell Mr. Salemme, the East Hanover Zoning Board Chairman, to recuse himself from voting on converting a residential zone into a hazardous industrial zone.
You decide if you think it is coincidence that Mayor Panullo has supported the rewriting of the Master Plan Zoning Laws to single out the conversion of 8 Merry Lane into a hazardous industrial zone from a long-standing residential zone. You decide if you think it is a coincidence that Mayor Pannullo supported introducing an ordinance to rezone specifically 8 Merry Lane into a hazardous industrial zone.
