Who is Steve Lonegan?
Steve Lonegan is New Jersey’s number one advocate for the overtaxed citizen. He is running for Governor to stand up for taxpayers, reverse the Corzine social engineering agenda and make New Jersey a great place to live, work, run a business and raise a family once again. Steve was a successful small business owner who was elected Mayor of Bogota in 1995, defeating a longtime incumbent who left town finances in shambles. As Mayor, Steve stood up to powerful public employee labor unions and local left-wing interest groups, bringing a “Taxpayers First” philosophy to borough government.
“What different regulations do they (NJDEP) have?” There are a slew of state environmental regulations from the Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) to underground storage tanks. There is no federal ISRA and the feds differ to the states on underground storage tank matters. The fact is the Feds differ to the state environmental agencies on a number of matters, because they are local/state issues. That is why the NJDEP is needed. If you actually worked in the field, you would know that. Proposals like these are exactly why Steve Lonegan will win neither the Republican primary or the if he squeeked by the general election. Most New Jerseyans do not want to go back to the bad old days when environmental problems were out of control. Yes, the NJDEP could be run a lot more efficiently, but no Jerseyans do not want it done away with. You guys are out of touch.
