Friends of LSP Facebook post

"Powerful Jersey Journal editorial on Senator Brian P. Stack crucial protection bill for LSP's Caven Point Natural Area -and urging no backroom deals in legislature. Governor Phil Murphy -this is another true colors test for you after you failed to support the LSP Protection Act!  Will you support protecting this natural urban treasure for people & wildlife & finally say NO to Paul Fireman and his paid or bought off surrogates' lies about LSP?
