NJ needs a long term, stable source of open space preservation funding. NJ needs to preserve open space while there is still open space left to preserve. Dedicating a percentage of sales tax revenue toward open space preservation rather than borrowing money for it makes the most sense. NJ is already horribly overdeveloped, even this county. Too much land in this county has already been destroyed by development. The county's open space preservation program no longer actually preserves open space or farmland so the state is the only hope.
