While that facility is important, there are far bigger fish to fry right here in NJ.

If you would take a peek, you would see that  Governor Christie is slashing NJ's capabilities to prevent and respond to an oil spill or chemical accident:

"Maybe Commissioner Martin will do more than just issue press releases and computer model the highly unlikely impacts of the Gulf oil on NJ's shore.

Like maybe he might do some actual field tests of DEP's emergency response plans (like DEP did in 2005) and assure that they are fully resourced. Perhaps he might be asked to assure that prevention/TCPA & DPCC regulations are strictly enforced (or compare those plans and capabilities to the highly deficient BP and Coast Guard plans in the Gulf, so that lessons can be learned)."
