*VITAL FERTILIZER BILL *
Joint State Senate & Assembly
Environment Committee Hearing
Thursday, August 12
10 AM to Noon
At Toms River Town Hall
33 Washington Street
Senator Bob Smith and Assemblyman John McKeon have introduced
a bill with content that will require all fertilizer sold or
used in New Jersey to have 30% slow release Nitrogen. This is
a major victory for the Bay. But industry still adamantly opposes
this bill and instead favors a mere labeling law.
It is up to us to support this legislation by backing up its
sponsors at this hearing. This hearing is crucial to the health
of Barnegat Bay. Mark your calendar.
