Former New Jersey Governors Get Behind Watersheds Preservation Bill.
Byline: Jan Barry
Apr. 27--TRENTON, N.J. -- Setting aside past political battles, five former governors declared their bipartisan support on Monday for Governor McGreevey's efforts to save Highlands watersheds.
"Unprecedented!" exclaimed Jim Florio, who lined up with fellow Democrat Brendan T. Byrne and Republicans Christie Whitman and Donald T. DiFrancesco under their official portraits in the governor's office. Former Gov. Thomas H. Kean, a Republican and currently the busy chairman of the 9/11 commission, sent a message of support.
"You don't generally see so many former governors in one place unless it's an inauguration or a funeral," quipped Whitman, former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Getting together to support the proposed Highlands preservation legislation that McGreevey, a Democrat, is promoting, she added, "is every bit as important to the future of this state."
