The following is an open letter to Gov. Murphy.
Dear Gov. Murphy:
I saw a wonderful tribute you wrote about a member of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission who recently passed away. The Pine Barrens reference reminded me of a time in the 1970s when powerful interests were advocating leveling the state’s Pine Barrens to construct a major jetport to serve New York and Philadelphia. This would have spelled the end of the pristine million-acre Pine Barrens wilderness area.
