A Fast Track To Sprawl
New Jersey's Highlands bill will encourage sprawl and cause pollution.
While the Highlands bill wasmoving through an arduous procedure of public hearings and legislativeamendments over several months, the so-called fast-track bill wasdesigned behind closed doors and was introduced and steamrolledthrough the Legislature in a record three days under both the publicand media radars. The governor used the Highlands bill as green coverto push the fast-track bill through, which puts a developmentalbull's-eye on parts of the Highlands and the rest of New Jersey.
