It is important for Exxon to restore the area near New jersey!
When I read the story it raises several issues and doubts!
they must take responsibility and show that they see the entire picture.
i refer to: "Legal experts say victory for the state was virtually assured – Exxon
Mobil was already liable for contaminating at least 1,500 acres of
sensitive wetlands along Arthur Kill and Newark Bay. All that remained
was assessing how much the company owed for the restoration"- restoration of the land and encouraging future "safety" are very important!
Also, "Harrison and others say, when the GOP governor quietly agreed to settle a decade long $8.9 billion legal battle with Exxon Mobil for just $225 million," as reported at the news site:

the term "terrorist" is very frequently misused-
the media confuses this term so i must redefine: a terrorist uses violence- to try to get something using terror, such as bombing a bus- or taking hostages- slightly different from the dreadful crime of murder.
there is a discussion about specifically targeting this "islamic state" organization at the site

"officials say the administration would prefer authorization to “go after, degrade and destroy” the Islamic State group specifically, taking a back seat to the Middle Eastern coalition of countries who have welcomed U.S. military support "
"officials say the administration would prefer authorization to “go after, degrade and destroy” the Islamic State group specifically, taking a back seat to the Middle Eastern coalition of countries who have welcomed U.S. military support "
back seat means in support of the local armies in the region such as Iran and Iraq which sent ground forces.
