Yes, let businesses rape the environment. It's what's made Jersey's reputation so golden. Excellent long-term strategy. New Jersey-based builders who can't annex protected public lands will go build in the Dakotas. Everyone knows that.
Have you blamed Loretta Weinberg yet, Anon? She wants your guns.
Loretta,
She's busy with her flock
Its about time, Jackson is not going to allow this type of rogue builder to wander the state.
