It is important for me to personally visit Superfund sites to assess the progress being made.

We live in a nation where, when New Jersey figures out how to do something and does it well, and shows progress, it affects other states.

There are a great number of people from New Jersey who go on to have pretty successful careers.

A lot of people don't know, but New Jersey has, like, 700,000 acres of farmland.

My appropriations requests have always sought to benefit New Jersey. That is how I base my submissions to the committee for consideration.

New Jersey residents deserve to have their tax dollars spent on transportation and infrastructure projects right here in the Garden State instead of being wasted in Washington.

My view is that we should not be taxing at the Federal level for the things that New Jersey can do for itself.

Many people don't know that New Jersey is a fertile breeding ground for writers, some of them quite renowned. And I would wager that most would be truly startled to learn that the star in the Jersey firmament is - drum roll here - Newark.

Superfund was passed with the good intention of cleaning up America's toxic waste sites.

Now, in New Jersey, we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America. But since I've been governor we now have fewer people on the state payroll at any time since Christie Whitman left office in January 2001. That's the right direction, Mr. President, not the wrong direction.
