New Jersey LCV warns that delays to flood rules will raise costs for families, local businesses
New Jersey League of Conservation Voters interim Executive Director Allison McLeod released the following statement in response to the Sherrill administration’s decision to pause and review implementation of NJPACT flood regulations:
"We are deeply troubled by any decision to delay implementation of NJPACT, which by design advances affordability for New Jersey’s working families — while protecting lives and property. We have the opportunity to not only dramatically reduce insurance costs, but to also limit the devastating emotional and financial toll of rebuilding after the severe storms we unfortunately know will come.
At a time when the federal government is doubling down on a dangerous oil and gas agenda, more than ever we need Governor Sherrill and our elected leaders in Trenton to lead efforts to protect the safety and well-being of New Jersey families who are being put in harm’s way by the climate crisis."
