Mercer Citizens for Public

Accountability; inactive as of 1-98

ALTERNATE NAME

MCPA

DESCRIPTION

A grassroots, Princeton-based, volunteer advocacy group which

encouraged  Mercer County citizens to be informed on economic

issues, and to publicly question proposed programs which do

not support fiscal responsibility. Following the defeat of the

proposed Duck Island incinerator in 1996, which MCPA cited as a

financial disaster for taxpayers, the group focused on an

Environment First strategy for solid waste management which

maximizes reliance on waste prevention, reuse and recycling.
