(TRENTON) -- Assemblyman John F. McKeon, chair of the Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee, today issued the following statement applauding Governor Jon S. Corzine's signing of an Executive Order that calls for a sweeping reduction of greenhouse gas emissions:
"Global warming is not a trend issue; this is a real threat to our future.
"This is the type of leadership that is lacking at the White House and it is reassuring to see the Governor taking action that helps fill the void left by the President's failure on this issue.
"The Governor has set a standard that should be codified into law.
"The Assembly environment committee is preparing to take this issue up in earnest so we can begin to reverse the suicidal course we are now following through the uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases.
"By reducing poisonous greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent through 2020 not only can we turn back the hands of time on global warming, but we can ensure that we are helping to protect the world for our children and generations to come."

"The brazen arrogance of Wayne Bryant -- to believe that he was completely beyond the reach of the law, to extort state institutions for personal profit in return for the funding of good and worthwhile program that serve the poor, the disadvantaged and the needy of our state -- is simply the most disgusting conduct I've seen by a public official in my seven years as U.S. Attorney." -- U.S. Christopher Christie
