Friends of Liberty State Park feeling good after today's court date over marina expansion

Friends of Liberty State Park who have been loudly opposing a  plan to build/expand marina space on the south end of the island to the 300 of 300 slips. They had their day in court and while the filing was taken under advisement, shortly after the hearing Phil Murphy who opposes the marina plan, was sworn is a governor:

"Now we're in a safe victory zone of Gov. Murphy being in charge," Sam Pesin, president of Friends of Liberty State Park, told The Jersey Journal after the hearing. "And he has stated that his priority is the preservation of Liberty park as a special treasure for current and future generations."

So, where and how does this play out n court or out is unknown. What is important is that he New Jersey Governor, according the state constitution has the powers of a Caesar, so if Mr. Phil doesn't want that expansion it more than likely won;t happen. Good news all around if that's the case. Follow this space for more.
