As Chair of the NJ Legislative Latino Caucus, I am writing this letter today to encourage you to appoint a woman from the Latino community to the Legislative Redistricting Commission. As you know well, diversity in membership is critical across all government committees, and the composition of this Commission is no exception. We ask that you seize this opportunity to be deliberate about your appointments to the State’s Legislative Redistricting Commission and ensure communities who have historically been left out, women and people of color, are given an opportunity to impact the legislative body for the next ten years. As of the 2010 Census, 18% of our State’s residents identified as Hispanic or Latino. This number is expected to increase with the results of the 2020 Census, as New Jersey has seen steady growth in the Latino community.

  • Meeting at PNCT Focuses on New Gates, Appointment System
    April 2018 Volume 5, Issue 4 Meeting at PNCT Focuses on New Gates, Appointment System Bi-State Board Members attended a Focus Group Meeting at Port Newark Container Terminal on April 17th to learn more about the $500 million in facilities upgrades that are underway, which are expected to double the number of containers moving through the terminal. Two new Super Post-Panamax cranes are due to arrive soon, with an additional two cranes expected before the end of the year. (To view a video presentation detailing the upgrades at PNCT, click HERE.) PNCT’s new gate system has been completed and is currently being tested. The system will feature one-stop job dispatching and will debut within the next few weeks. The Bi-State was given a preview of how the new system will function, and encouraged to provide feedback. Board Members were also asked to provide insight on the topic of Appointment Systems, as PNCT continues to fine-tune its Truck Management System, which they expect to launch in the latter half of 2018. President The Association of Bi-State Motor Carriers hosts Focus Groups on a regular Jeffrey Alan Bader basis with each of the marine terminals that serve the Port of NY & NJ, to keep First Vice President the lines of communication running smoothly between the intermodal trucking Tom Heimgartner Secretary community and the terminal operators. Peter Toscano Treasurer Bi-State Board Members meet with Administrators, Yard Managers, and other key Peggy Mecca personnel to discuss issues of concern, provide feedback on service levels, and Trustee review any proposed changes or upgrades to operations at the terminals.

  • NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey's Gubernatorial and State Legislative Elections Are Held in Odd-Numbered Years
    NJ Election Update November 7, 2018 New Jersey’s gubernatorial and state legislative elections are held in odd-numbered years. However, when Democrat Phil Murphy was sworn in to be NJ’s next Governor earlier this year, he tapped a number of lawmakers to serve in his cabinet. The vacancies these appointments created as well as other circumstances required eight special legislative elections to fill the unexpired terms of the departed lawmakers. A summary of those contests are provided below. It should be noted that all of the successful candidates have been serving as “Acting” lawmakers for most of the year and are of the same party affiliation as their predecessors. Accordingly, there are no significant changes to report in terms of composition/control of the New Jersey Legislature as a result yesterday’s special elections. Democrats continue to control the Senate (25-15) and the Assembly (54-36). Included below for your information is also a summary of the 2018 New Jersey federal elections where Democrats picked up 3 House seats and another race (CD-3) is too close to call. NJ SPECIAL ELECTION RESULTS The New Jersey State Legislature greatly shifted following last November’s State Senate and General Assembly elections, as well as some members of the Legislature leaving for the newly-formed Murphy Administration. Eight special elections were held on November 6th, alongside the congressional campaigns, to fill 10 vacant seats in the NJ Legislature. In District 38 (Bergen County), Senator Joe Lagana (D), Assemblyman Chris Tully (D), and Assemblywoman Lisa Swain (D), won their seats, with the only special election for the state’s upper house.
