Environmental, farming, open space and historic preservation groups locked arms in a unified and successful campaign to convince voters in November to approve the dedication of a portion of New Jersey’s corporate business tax to land preservation, stewardship, recreation and flood property buyouts.

Listen below to portions of the the testimony from nine of them.
