TRENTON – A set of bills, sponsored by Senator Bob Smith, which would reduce diesel emissions in New Jersey and provide clean air for future New Jerseyans will be up for a vote in the Senate Environment Committee on Monday, March 7 at 10 a.m..
“There is nothing more important to the safety, health and well-being of New Jersey’s residents than the air we breathe,” said Senator Smith, D-Middlesex and Somerset, the Chairman of the Senate Environment Committee. “We cannot afford to have a laissez-faire attitude about pollution in our skies when hundreds of people in our State die each year, due to respiratory disease aggravated by airborne pollution. We have to take a stand, to provide a better future for our children and grandchildren.”
