'Floodtown' Victims March on Woodbridge Town Hall

The group of Hurricane Sandy homeowners got attention and recognition from Town Hall Tuesday night.


Tired of being ignored, the Woodbridge Flood Zone group marched to Town Hall and to a council meeting Tuesday night, and the entire thing went off without a hitch.

The group met at the Reo Diner to coordinate and strategize before the council meeting. From there, they walked around the corner to Main Street, and holding up signs and chanting, "We are your neighbors" and "We won't be forgotten", they made their way to the municipal building at the other end of the street.

About 40 protesters joined in the march. There were no incidents during the peaceful protests.

Vincenzo, part of the group, held up a sign that said, "Woodbridge Township has a Flood Problem."

"My basement flooded, I lost everything," he said. "We're trying to see what the township can do for us to get us back into shape."
