Force polluters to pay for the damage they caused

Stall development of Liberty State Park until Christie gone

Opposition to the plans has grown since a state Department of Environmental Protection report detailed development possibilities at the park, including a low-rise hotel at the dilapidated train sheds. It also called for developing the park's southern end, possibly an amusement park, field house for indoor sports, outdoor amphitheater and another marina.

Liberty State has long been a developer's dream. It has also been viewed as an untapped revenue source by Christie, who is pushing for state parks to generate more revenue and use less taxpayer money. Liberty State brings in about $1.5 million in leases and concessions and requires about $2 million annually in taxpayer dollars to balance its operating budget

Take the fight to the polluters: they pay FULL cleanup cost

Under Mayor Fulop, we've taken the fight to polluters, making sure that they're responsible for the FULL clean up. We've put a premium on green space. The amount of park space in the city has grown by 10% in the last 2 years. They say that parks are among the most important factors in determining whether people love their community. If that's the case, we're spreading the love. We're going green.
