I Shore Plan Funded By N.Y. Workers?

TRENTON — A new, comprehensive shore and Pineland protection plan funded indirectly by taxing New Yorkers who work in New Jersey is being proposed by three Republican Assemblymen from the south Jersey Shore area. The bill will generate up to $16 million, said sponsors Assemblyman John Hendrickson. R-Ocean, Burlington, Joseph Chinnici and Guy Muzianj, both R-Cape May, Cumberland. They said they would introduce the bill in the new Assembly session which began yesterday. The proposal will fund the following: * $10 million for the preservation and restoration of the state's beaches , * $4 million to aid Pineland municipalities which have lost tax revenues because of environmental restrictions; * $2 million for the dreding of harbors and estuaries. IN ADDITION. Hendrickson said, the bill will

commit $1 million from the state's general revenues to the fund. A similar tax measure called the Emergency Transportation Tax was declared illegal in 1983 because it was excessive, Chinnici explained. However, he said that he believes the bill he and his colleagues are sponsoring will withstand any court challenge. The amount of revenue that would be collected from New Yorkers is estimated to be $15 million. This amount, Chinnici said, is a reasonable estimate of New Jersey's transportation subsidy to New Yorkers who travel here to work. In 1983, this figure was estimated to be between $15 and $20 million, he said. "THE FUNDING mechanism is an indirect approach," Hendrickson explained. "We hope that the revenues raised from this tax will fund the transportation subsidy used by New Yorkers who t work here, and thereby I free up the funds now paying for this subsidy to pay i for shore protection instead." The Pinelands will also receive funding under this bill. "One of the areas this bill helps, which* has largely been ignored in other shore protection bills, is the Pinelands." s<tid Hendrickson. "Towns in the Pinelands Preservation Area continue to be hurt by state environmental restrictions placed upon them, so the state should make up this lost revenue in some way," he added. "THIS IS a stable source of funding for our inland waterways such as Hereford and Townsend Inlets, as well as the shoreline," Muziani said. All three legislators strongly opposed the recently-defeated hotel and motel tax as an unfair, selective tax on only one part of the shore recreation industry. ^ They said they will be seeking additional co- W sponsors for their legisla- % tion in the coming weeks.
