*New Jersey politicians want to make water privatization even easier.*

A bill awaiting the signature of New Jersey's governor would make it easier
for cities to turn water management over to private corporations
<http://http://www.commondreams.org/news/2014/12/23/new-jersey-poised-pass-legislation-would-speed-water-privatization>,
by *cutting the public out of the process*.

Until now, any efforts to privatize water services required a public vote.
If this bill goes into effect, residents will have to collect enough
signatures to *force* a public vote, and will have a limited time to do so.

*New Jersey’s water needs public oversight because the state already has a
miserable track record when it comes to water privatization. *

Selling off public water operations has hiked water rates by an average of
64 percent in New Jersey, and has led to increased pollution.
