Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.

June 4, 2021 The Honorable Phil Murphy Governor of New Jersey Office of the Governor P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 Re: Support for Assembly Bill 4016/Senate Bill 2682 - New Jersey Rare Disease Advisory Council Dear Governor Murphy: On behalf of the 28 undersigned organizations representing individuals with rare diseases in New Jersey, we urge you to sign Assembly Bill 4016 (A4016)/Senate Bill 2682 (S2682) into law. A4016/S2682 would establish a Rare Disease Advisory Council (RDAC) in the state which would give a voice to the estimated 1-in-10 individuals living with a rare disease in New Jersey. This legislation has passed both chambers of the New Jersey Legislature unanimously and has broad support from the rare disease patient community. The New Jersey Rare Disease Advisory Council will give rare disease patients a unified voice in the state government by providing them with a forum to make recommendations to elected officials and other state leaders about pressing health care issues. From providing information on the provider-patient relationship to identifying best practices, the council will coordinate with legislators and other government leaders to improve public policy for the state’s rare disease community. The RDAC represents enormous value to our organizations and the communities we serve by allowing them to directly engage with a diverse group of stakeholders interested in identifying and solving challenges that New Jersey’s rare disease community faces. In addition, the RDAC will help relieve some of the burden on the state by expeditiously delivering direct feedback, solutions, and resources to New Jersey government decisionmakers with one community voice.

Gwein Gwen Orlowski, Executive Director March 23, 2020 The Honorable Phil Murphy Governor of New Jersey 225 W. State Street Trenton, New Jersey 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: First, thank you and the many state agency and department leaders and staff for the massive efforts that you have undertaken to provide leadership and mobilize state resources to confront the COVID-19 pandemic. I write to urge you to use your leadership and vision to take additional steps to protect the welfare of all residents of New Jersey, but especially those with disabilities, during this crisis. Disability Rights New Jersey is New Jersey’s designated protection and advocacy system for individuals with disabilities. As you are aware, adults and children with disabilities are among those at the greatest risk in this crisis because so many are in institutions or incarcerated, homeless, seniors or medically compromised, or dependent on others for care. You have already taken important steps by requiring that all individuals in New Jersey stay-at home in order to limit the spread of the disease. Below, I outline additional steps that we believe are necessary to protect individuals with disabilities in New Jersey. Some are disability-specific but others are universal measures, such as moratoria on utility shutoffs, and Medicaid terminations. Although people with disabilities will be disproportionately affected by the loss of services and benefits during the pandemic, protecting everyone in this crisis is the best public policy. As you have recognized, New Jersey must ensure that all our citizens have access to a safe living situation, medical care and other resources to weather this crisis.

June 15, 2020 The Honorable Phil Murphy Governor of New Jersey Office of the Governor P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the elderly, especially those living in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. We write seeking information, at a granular level, about the science and information used to inform your decision to mandate nursing homes and long-term care facilities admit untested and contagious COVID-19 patients from hospitals. This decision likely contributed to the thousands of elderly deaths in New Jersey. Thank you for your attention and prompt response to this important inquiry. On March 13, 2020, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued guidance “For Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes.”1 This guidance is a blueprint for individual states to follow when determining how to best control outbreaks of COVID-19 in nursing homes and long term care facilities. This guidance does not direct any nursing home to accept a COVID-19 positive patient, if they are unable to do so safely. In fact, it says “nursing homes should admit any individual that they would normally admit to their facility, including individuals from hospitals where a case of COVID-19 was/is present” only if the nursing home can follow Centers for Disease Control (CDC) quarantining guidance.2 CMS Administrator Seema Verma said, “[u]nder no circumstances should a hospital discharge a patient to a nursing home that is not prepared to take care of those patient’s needs.”3 CMS did not mandate COVID-19 positive patients back to nursing homes but, instead, stated that a COVID-19 case at a hospital does not preclude the nursing home from accepting a COVID-19 negative patient.

As of the weekend before election day, 47 percent of likely voters say they will cast their ballot for Corzine compared to 38 who support Forrester. Another 4 percent say they will vote for an independent candidate and 11 percent remain undecided at this late date. The latest Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll results also found that voters are unhappy with the campaigns’ conduct and have little confidence that either candidate will bring about real progress on major issues facing the Garden State. While the margin for Corzine has not changed much during the fall campaign – he led Forrester among likely voters by 7 points in mid-October and 8 points in late September – voter opinion on the tone and substance of the campaign has worsened. Currently, 43 percent of likely voters say the candidates have done a good job addressing How Have the Campaigns the issues important to New Jersey – down from 45 percent Addressed the Issues 60% in September.
