I went to read it, but the article has been changed. It's now the "9 Best Outdoor Fall Activities In New Jersey".

Based on this article, it appears the two agencies are the DEP and the Pinelands Commission. http://www.burlingtoncountytimes.com/news/20180814/dep-considering-suit-against-pinelands-commission-for-failing-to-approve-tree-clearing-application

The Pinelands Commission voted down the tree cutting proposal.

Kerry Pflugh is the new municipal liaison, it's worth including her in the communications. I give her some credit, since she took over the role, she has started sending weekly updates on "what's happening" at the DEP. She also went out to every municipality and met with the local officials to...

We took a ride down West Mill Road (Sycamore) on Sunday, but didn't get very far. A new gate has been installed here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.69788903846056&lng=-74.74525976579667&z=17&type=hybrid&gpx=

They do vote on the budget, once it's approved they send it to the governor. If Prieto was confident his party would vote the way he wanted them to, he would have put both the budget and the Horizon bill up for a vote. If both were voted down we'd be in the same spot, but at least the full...

They could have voted down the budget also. He didn't allow the vote because his own party would have approved it. As it stands they had no say in the matter.
