Upon President-Elect Obama's Nomination of Lisa Jackson to Lead
Environmental Protection Agency NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- "Lisa Jackson is an excellent choice for
this important federal post at a time when the need to address
climate change is more critical than ever. Lisa has a superb
background in the environmental arena, most recently as
Commissioner of New Jersey's Department of Environmental
Protection. She clearly understands the value of a balanced and
pragmatic approach to finding solutions on both the legislative and
regulatory sides of issues. For example, she has had a key role in
crafting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the Northeast
and in successfully fostering passage and implementation of
supportive legislation in New Jersey. During her tenure in New
Jersey, Lisa demonstrated outstanding leadership by managing a
large state agency effectively during increasingly difficult
economic times. She has been consistently open to diverse
stakeholder ideas and has effectively sought consensus in
addressing both legacy and future environmental matters. Her
nomination is a proud moment for New Jersey and the United States."
