Through my blog on njvoices I simply relayed feelings of an insider at DEP about the departments including some criticism of Ms. Jackson. <BR/><BR/>I wish I knew more about environmental issues to join in the discussion beyond that of being a listener and relayer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191316279215320372.post-60133460139561266512009-01-06T13:25:00.000-05:002009-01-06T13:25:00.000-05:00No censoring, here.
