Gov. James E. McGreevey signs a bill protecting more than 400,000 acres of land as well as drinking water but environmentalists stay away.
While Mr. McGreevey heralded the signing as an important day for the state's environmental future, most of New Jersey's prominent environmental groups did not attend the bill signing, choosing to hold their own event to criticize the governor for approving a second bill that will expedite development throughout the state.
