Voters Approve Environmental Spending Initiatives

Laptop Battery New Jersey voters Tuesday approved three public questions that allow the state to increase the spending cap for land preservation, cleanup former industrial sites and repair dams.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft Gov. James E. McGreevey and other state officials spearheaded an extensive campaign pushing voters to approve the first question, which would permit the state to put another $150 million into open space preservation. It will not cost taxpayers more but will allow the state to take advantage of lower interest rates.

In 1999, the last time state or local elections were held without the White House or seats in Congress at stake, voters approved spending $1.8 billion on local conservation initiatives, passing 90 percent of the 102 measures on ballots.

Laptop Computers "These are questions that Gov. McGreevey campaigned for and asked the voters support on," said McGreevey's spokesman Micah Rasmussen. "It allows us to take advantage of low interest rates and allow the governor and state government to acquire more open space and moves us further down the road in terms of smart growth."

In the first ballot question, the state is asking voters to increase by $150 million the amount that can be borrowed under the $ space program voters approved five years ago. Low interest rates are allowing the state to borrow more money for the same annual payment voters approved at that time. All that is needed is for voters to sign off on the change.

Laptop Computer One third of the money will preserve land in the northern Highlands area while another $50 million will be to improve urban parks.

So groups such as the Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters and the National Environmental Trust, among others, are planning to spend much of the foreseeable future trying to derail or otherwise forestall any proposals to pare the nation's environmental rules.

Desktop Computer In 1998, voters agreed to change the constitution and dedicate $98 million from the sales and use tax for open space acquisitions over 30 years. The state may also borrow $1 billion over the next 10 years using the $98 million to pay it off.

Notebooks With current low interest rates, the state has enough to cover payments up to $1.15 billion in debt. Voters, however, must approve any changes to how that money is spent.

Lenovo The second question, with 99 percent of precincts reporting, was approved with 662,202 votes or 61 percent of the vote.

Hard Drive The second public question would put more money into cleanup of former industrial sites by diverting money from a fund now used to clean up underground gasoline and storage tanks.

Travelstar New Jersey's corporate business tax now funds tank cleanup. About a third of the $30 million collected each year is used for it. By approving the question, the state would be allowed to use funds to revitalize abandoned industrial sites and factories.

Gateway The only question that has raised any objections is the third, which would allow the state to borrow up to $200 million. Of that, $150 million would go to dam repair across the state and $50 million is earmarked for wastewater treatment, to dredge streams and pay for flood control projects.

Laptop Parts With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, the third question was approved with 59 percent of the vote, or 633,639 votes.

Software Environmental groups objected to it because they said some of the areas on the Department of Environmental Protection's list include dams that are privately owned and may have little public access.

Hard Drives The last statewide public question was in 2000, when voters approved dedicating additional motor fuels and certain sales taxes to fund transportation system improvements.

Electronics The most recent statewide question to be rejected by voters was in 1990, when New Jersey residents were asked to approve borrowing $135 million to provide assistance to low and moderate income families for housing construction.
