“The state government isn’t involved in infrastructure right now”
NJ Spotlight ran a story today – written by a college journalism student – that totally exposed the Murphy Administration and DEP’s “climate resilience” and “environmental justice” programs as slogan based press releases.
The money quote:
“The state government isn’t involved in infrastructure right now”
Did you get that? After reading dozens of self congratulatory Murphy DEP press releases, the reality finally emerges.
Read the complete story:
The Emperor truly has no clothes.
I guess that’s a lot easier for a college journalism major to see than the cheerleaders who pose as professional journalists in NJ.
Those journalists “report” on DEP press releases, not the on the ground reality and the substantive public policy merits.
Those journalists rarely report on the “bad news” aspects of an issue.
They usually source their stories with “experts” and “environmentalists” that are funded by DEP and the same Foundations (WM. Penn, Dodge, et al) that also fund NJ Spotlight.
Perhaps this brave intrepid college student real journalist might want to do followup stories, including:
- How the Trump regime’s impoundment of federal funds (USACE, FEMA, Biden Infrastructure money, et al) and dismantling of federal agencies (NOAA, FEMA, HUD, EPA, USGS, USACE, et al) and defunding of science (Rutgers, NJIT, Monmouth, Stockton, et al) and deregulation are impacting Atlantic City and the NJ coast;
- Exploring the case for planning for “strategic retreat”
- How the Murphy DEP “resilience” policy and program (touted by numerous press releases) are actually performing. Some ideas to check out:
