“Jim Florio has dominated the environmental scene my entire career. He not only lived but led our nation’s modern environmental movement for decades. He authored Superfund and saved the Pinelands as a Congressman in the 1970’s and 1980’s.  He stopped garbage incinerators in overburdened communities and championed cutting edge legislation like the Clean Water Enforcement and Pollution Prevention Acts as governor in the 1990’s. And in the 30 years since, he successfully fought roll backs of these critical environmental and public health safeguards as chair of the Pinelands Commission and so much more. God bless you, governor, a life well-lived and an everlasting legacy, thank you!”
