There is currently a project to raise the Bayonne Bridge that spans Kill Van Kull in Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey. One would think that is a good thing, but if you look more closely the project will increase pollution, add toxins to the air and water, cause health problems (cancer, lung disease) and will be an environmental nightmare. Reverend Fletcher Harper explains why this project should be stopped, and how it also has a negative affect on truckers and the surrounding communities.
