Opponents of a plan to build a massive warehouse in Phillipsburg won’t be getting any help from the city leadership in Easton, Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River.
Easton’s leaders should speak out against the plan, warehouse opponents argue, because the city would be impacted by added truck traffic and air and light pollution from the proposed 510,000 square-foot building, just as much as Phillipsburg itself, which is only 1,000 yards away in some places.
But Easton Mayor Sal Panto said his town doesn’t have legal standing to influence policies in another town in another state. He said he couldn’t speak for council members but was not going to speak against the warehouse himself.

When the Delaware River Basin Commission was created in 1961, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware the four states that encompass the land, wetlands and more than 2,000 tributaries that make up the 13,600 square-mile watershed each agreed to pay a percentage of the authority’s annual operational budget.
But since 2013, New Jersey has fallen short, missing its contribution by $200,000 annually. Under its agreement with the other states, New Jersey was to pay 25% of the costs to run the commission, a share of $893,000.
Pennsylvania and New York have failed to come up with their share, too. And save for one earmark under the Obama administration, the federal government, which is supposed to pay $715,000 in yearly operational expenses, has contributed nothing since 1996.
