  • April 10, 2020 the Honorable Philip D. Murphy
    April 10, 2020 The Honorable Philip D. Murphy Governor of the State of New Jersey Office of the Governor Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: We write to request critically needed funding for Warren, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Salem Counties that was appropriated to New Jersey through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As you are aware, these counties, and their respective municipalities, did not receive federal funding through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) set forth in the CARES Act utilizing long-standing, unchangeable, and automatic formulas. These formulas were set into place under the Administration of President Gerald R. Ford, in 1974 and 1977. Warren and Sussex Counties, along with Hunterdon and Salem Counties, did not meet any of the three criteria of these automatic, predetermined federal formulas: 1) counties with at least 500,000 people; 2) cities with populations more than 50,000; or 3) “principal cities,” which is a Census formula designation. That said, beyond the set formulas which are out of our control, the State of New Jersey also received certain non-entitlement funding through the CDBG (more than $4 million) and ESG (more than $11 million) programs that you can allocate based on discretionary need throughout the State, particularly to help struggling municipalities that did not receive enough relief. We believe these counties meet that requirement and ask that you please immediately allocate the discretionary funding to these localities. These four counties remain in the so-called “hot” region of the outbreak in our State and need this critical funding to get through the challenging next weeks and months.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 January 27, 2021 Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Yellen: Congratulations on your swift confirmation by the Senate. To help American families and businesses weather the brutal hardships imposed by the continuing pandemic, it is essential for Treasury and Congress to work hand-in-hand. Only close collaboration can deliver needed support for our States and citizens so we can “Build Back Better.” To commence that work, we write you today to urge you to support the immediate repeal of the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction cap put in place by the disastrous 2017 partisan tax hike bill. As you know, the SALT deduction has historically strengthened state and local government functions, including public health programs, safety nets for low-income residents, and emergency response services. During your confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on January 19, 2021, you rightly acknowledged the burden on the shoulders of our states and the need to help to keep essential frontline public workers on the job.1 Unfortunately, according to the December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report, government employment overall is down by 1.3 million jobs since February 2020 when the pandemic exploded.2 The data shows that these layoffs are unfortunately concentrated most among those who educate our children, protect our cities and towns, and keep our communities clean. While New Jersey has done herculean work to prevent job losses in these critical services, our state has borne the brunt of the pandemic by cutting the government workforce by 4.8% from November 2019 to November 2020.3 These workers serve essential roles, and their job losses are further holding back our recovery.

  • April 21, 2020 I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts
    Click to view newsletter archives View a Featured Ad at the End of this Email. April 21, 2020 I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts II. Governor’s Office Briefing Calls for Mayors Municipal Clerks: Please forward to your Mayor, Governing Body and Department Heads. To assist in providing guidance and information we have created a COVID-19 resource page. We will continue to update the page as we get pertinent information and include announcements in our Daily Updates. ****************************************************************************************************** I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts At this time–and it could change in a heartbeat–it seems that aid to New Jersey municipalities will not be included in the compromise legislation being negotiated in Washington. There appears to be strong opposition coming from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and from the White House for that, at this time. Both Senator McConnell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin have indicated a willingness to further consider the plight of state and local governments, in future legislation. We need to continue to push for passage of the Coronavirus Community Relief Act (the CCRA - H.R.6467) and its U.S. Senate companion, which awaits formal introduction. Currently on record sponsoring and supporting the CCRA are Senator Booker and House Members Malinowski, Gottheimer, Sherrill, Sires, Van Drew, and Watson Coleman. Please contact your Congressman, if not yet a cosponsor, and urge him to get on board by cosponsoring the CCRA. New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., along with Florida Congressman John Rutherford, is spearheading another effort to secure relief for our State and its local governments.

  • Nj's Lgbt Powerlist
    THE 2018 INSIDER OUT 100 NJ’S LGBT POWERLIST WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! Message from the Editor 2018 LGBT POWER Welcome to InsiderNJ’s OUT 100 Power List, a first-of-its kind-tribute to influential LGBTs in New Jersey politics. This list was a reader’s idea. My editor Max Pizarro and my General Manager Pete Oneglia green-lighted the idea so long as I promised to make it amazing. These Power Lists mean a lot to people. Making it amazing seems like the least I could do given this opportunity. P.O. Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, HAVEN’T WE? When I acquired HIV as a teenager back in 1992, you’d be hard pressed to name a single politically influential LGBT person anywhere in America, let alone 100 from a single state! Nobody was talking about gay marriage. There were no workplace protections back then, no gays in the military. What Max Pizarro we did have was a hostile government and an equally hostile Catholic Church driving our nation’s Editor-in-Chief AIDS policy. Which might explain why the life-saving AIDS “cocktail” was still years away, something [email protected] I blessedly wouldn’t need until 1998. Many listed below played a huge role taming the AIDS crisis and then delivering a raft of pro-LGBT laws in its wake. This list also includes the next generation of LGBTs already making their mark on the New Jersey political landscape. They’ve snatched the baton in a purposeful manner befitting a generation raised to dream bigger than mine ever could.

    July 27, 2020 The Honorable Nita Lowey The Honorable Kay Granger Chairwoman Ranking Member House Committee on Appropriations House Committee on Appropriations H-307, U.S. Capitol H-307, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger: On behalf of the Consumer Bankers Association (CBA), I write in opposition to the amendment offered by Congressman Bill Pascrell and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur to the fiscal year 2021 appropriations act for Financial Services and General Government that would fund a pilot program for postal banking activities. CBA is the voice of the retail banking industry whose products and services provide access to credit for millions of consumers and small businesses. Our members operate in all 50 states, serve more than 150 million Americans and collectively hold two-thirds of the country’s total depository assets. CBA strongly opposes allowing the U.S. Post Office to offer consumer banking services. The American financial system is a well-regulated, highly complex marketplace that operates under free market principles. CBA members have the expertise and capacity to serve customers’ needs in a way the post office would find difficult. Effectively and safely providing these services requires an institution to have decades of experience in risk management, regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and privacy protection – areas the U.S. Postal Service has little to no knowledge. Additionally, the entrance of a government-subsidized entity into the consumer financial market would not only affect the competitiveness of the nation’s thousands of financial institutions currently serving consumers and small businesses but would also expose American taxpayers to financial risk.
