Here are some of New Jerseys Issues:

-The concern over the Highlands is increasingly at risk of being overdeveloped. Within a five year period (1995-2000), the Highlands lost 17,000 acres of forests and 8,000 acres of farmland. Development is threatening the region's important natural resources and the state's drinking water supply.

-"Suburban Sprawl" the poorly-planned development that destroys green space, increases traffic and air pollution, crowds schools and drives up taxes".

-Education

-Crime

-Health

-The war in Iraq
