Positions
on Current New Jersey Issues:
There are several important
issues that face the citizens of N.J. Some include: urban
sprawl, education, racial discrimination and profiling, health care,
housing, employment, environmental concerns, tax relief and numerous
others.
The Green Party has developed
workable solutions to address these issues of concern. As your next
governor for the state of N.J. business will not be as usual.
The democrats and
the republicans have destroyed our state long enough. Together we can
make history
on election day in November.
