Reacting to a reported settlement by the Christie Administration with Exxon Mobil that would allow the oil company to pay $250 million for $8.9 billion in environmental damage to sites in Bayonne and Linden, state Sen. Raymond Lesniak vowed today to challenge the settlement "every step of the way until the state gets just compensation for the damage done by the company's Bayway and Bayonne refineries to more than 1,500 acres of wetlands, meadows and waterways destroyed or damaged" "I grew up under that giant Exxon sign in the Bayway section of Elizabeth and feel personally offended at this weak effort by the Christie Administration in securing fair compensation for the extensive contamination admittedly done by Exxon Mobile to our environment," Lesniak said in a statement.
