Friends of Liberty State Park and NY/NJ Baykeeper, a Matawan, New Jersey-based environmental group, say that after four decades fighting for free and open access, the only logical step is legislation to keep developers from circling.
“This is our park, and we already paid for it with public tax dollars,” said Greg Remaud, chief executive officer of Baykeeper. “What’s more symbolic of America? What’s better than having this great democratic place, where anybody can come, rich and poor, black and white, every religion, all just park-goers enjoying it?”
