Wetlands on Cape May, New Jersey, USA. (Anthony Bley, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers)"Legislation has been introduced (S3156 by Sen. Paul Sarlo and A4335 by Assemblyman Albert Couhtino) that would give us dirty water, higher utility costs and paved-over open spaces. It is moving quickly through the state Senate and Assembly.

"This legislation will undermine environmental protection by allowing development in environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, endangered species habitat and next to reservoirs — a destructive gift to developers. This developers’ proposal would also weaken environmental standards protecting home wells."
