Book excerpt: Introduced by Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert Hughey, Governor Kean speaks about the energy and commitment to excellence of the D.E.P. This conference centers on private enterprise, particularly small businesses owned by New Jersey women and minority citizens. Governor Kean states that since taxpayers demand a clean environment, state and federal government must devise policies to reach that goal. The government must rely on private contractors, with their expertise and experience to carry out the work. Governor Kean also mentions the legislation introduced by Senator Wynona Lipman, which would increase the then 'set aside' monies for minority and women owned businesses from 15 to 25%.
