If you see “people’s park” flyers illegally posted all over downtown, tear them down. It’s more nonsense from Paul Firestone trying to trick the public into letting him pave over Liberty State Park. But we’re too smart to fall for it.
Gladly will rip them down :)
Why are you against this? Imagine how much money he could make! This would be a great investment for him!

Paul Firestone eh? Sounds like you're very well informed.
Shut up
Thank you. Point being, he’s a scooby doo villain trying to pave over our park
Wow. Good one. Maybe you can use that on Paul Firestone. Whoever that is.
Hey, what if it was illegal to have a billion dollars? Just a thought.
I don’t begrudge Paul Fireman his money, I begrudge that he’s trying to use it to pave over a bird sanctuary to expand a golf club for rich people. Forget that noise
Get out of here with that commie nonsense
Pretty stupid thought

Supposedly the plan has already gotten through the legislature and is a done deal.
I'm hoping the person who told me that is wrong and misunderstood what's going on.
Yeah because liking tits automatically makes you stupid. Lmao
I tore down 9 in a single intersection, 2-3 on each corner. Zero accountability. Just does it illegal shit to get what he wants and is slapped with a trivial fine.
That’s terrible, is this going forward?
You should’ve rolled with it OP. He doesn’t deserve to be called by his real name!

If that was true it would already be done.
Which park. ???? I love scooby doo
Paul Fireman is a billionaire who owns a tacky golf course next to Liberty State Park that costs $500k+ to join. He's been trying for years to expand his golf course, by destroying Caven Point, a bird sanctuary within the park that's open to the public, and paving it over and putting up a wall around it so you can't visit.

Thank you for your service!
Aren’t they making a golf course and removing some of the park?

I don’t think machine state politics are quite that simple, unfortunately.
Doesn't matter how smart you are or how "good" the people you elect are when the system is constructed by and for the rich/billionaires.
That's what Fireman's been trying to do for decades, but thus far the city and the state have stopped him. State Senator Brian Stack introduced a bill that would open up the park to private development, and squashed a bill that would protect Caven Point from developers. Then, after some backlash, introduced a bill to protect Caven Point.
If that passes, then our public land (and vital habitat to several threatened bird and fish species) is safe. Except the governor is pals with Fireman. So it's going to come down to who Phil Murphy values more — each and every one of his constituents put together, or one out-of-state bilionaire.
It actually is that simple. We vote for complete tools.
What do you suggest?
So then Paul fireman uses his $999 million to push for expanding his golf course.
Yikes. Thanks!

The sad part is, we, collectively, are not very smart, or we would be electing better leadership.
