Senator Robert Menendez and Mayor Malcolm Fraser speak with concerned constituents about beach and environmental issues at Cape May Point - July 6, 2006 |
Protecting clean water and air, preserving recreational open spaces, and combating urban sprawl are important to ensuring a better quality of life for our communities, families, and children. Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have fought to preserve and protect our natural heritage and resources throughout our state, our nation, and around the world. You can be assured that I remain committed to protecting our environment and ensuring that our natural resources can be enjoyed by future generations. |
