Evesham Township links to New Jersey's official web site here because it is a town within this state and posting a link here will help those looking at this town to understand the most about the community and the state in which it is in. Also, it will help those Evesham townspeople who probably frequent the page get to the state's page without having to remember the address, despite the address being as simple as nj.gov.

This site is for New Jersey Tourism, so it is only logical that at the top of the page where government is listed there is a link to nj.gov. This would allow tourists to know what sort of laws we have before coming and also provides more options for what to see here in the Garden State.

The New Jersey Medical Reserves Corps is an organization that serves New Jersey and it's citizens, so having a link to those that they serve makes sense. Not only that, the NJMRC is a product of the New Jersey Government, or at least one of it's branches, and thus being so, it makes sense to link to the people who are behind it.

This site links to nj.gov way at the bottom, but also links to many pages within the nj.gov site well before the site itself. The reason these links are in place because it too, like the link above, serve the New Jersey community and as a group taking place in New Jersey working with the government is a sure thing to get things done.

Because this is their mission, it would make sense they would have a link to the government. In fact, one reason is right there in the mission statement: "Serving as an advocate on both legislative and regulatory issues..." when you are dealing with legislation, you are dealing with the government, so the two interests exist to bring them together, and a hyperlink is doing that just swell.
