Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

  • Appendix ~--~~.~~~~~~ Eagleton Institute of Politics
    APPENDIX ~--~~.~~~~~~ EAGLETON INSTITUTE OF POLITICS Presentation to the Clean Elections Commission on the Proposed Work of the NJ Clean Elections Academic Study Group June 17, 2005 by Ingrid W. Reed Director, Eagleton NJ Project Backjp'ound On April 8, 2005, a group of faculty members from various institutions of higher education whos1~ work includes a focus on New Jersey politics met at the Eagleton Institute for the purpose of discussing whether there were ways they might be useful to the recently-formed Clean Elections Commission which is charged to evaluate the pilot project providing public funding for two kgislative districts in the 2005 election. The focus of the meeting was on the purposes set out in New Jersey law creating the Clean Electi Jns pilot project: -Address the fact that residents of the State believe large contributions to campaigns have undue influence, and · · -That the political process is dominated by those who can afford to spend large amounts· of money on campaigns, and - -The result is an erosion of public confidence in the democratic process. -Also, that the pilot project would provide equal resources to candidates, reverse the escalating cost and free candidate~ from the chore of raising money, (based on the laws currently in effect in Maine and Arizona), as well as strengthen public confidence in the democratic process. The group also examined the charge to the Clean Elections Commission to: - examine the positive and negative aspects of the experience - review and recommend criteria for selecting districts and setting the seed money and qualifying contribution amounts - establishing support for primary races in 2007 - consider feasibility of applying to all races - means to finance clean elections and other matters.

  • Legislative Report Card 218Th Nj Legislature 2018-2019 Dear Friends
    LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 218TH NJ LEGISLATURE 2018-2019 DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the 2018-2019 New Jersey state legislature. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marijuana, marriage, and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session. All of those bills are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (21 votes out of 40 senators) and the Assembly (41 votes out of 80 Assembly members.) Lawmakers earned letter grades ranging from A–F based on how they voted on all the bills. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Shawn Hyland Director of Advocacy CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 Vote Descriptions 4 About the Report Card 3 Legislator Votes 5-7 - 2 - ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey selected votes on key legislation in the New Jersey Assembly and New Jersey Senate based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values.

  • June 27, 2016 Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto Senate President
    June 27, 2016 Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney 1 Harmon Plaza, Suite 205 935 Kings Highway, Suite 400 Secaucus, NJ 07094 West Deptford, NJ 08086 Dear Speaker Prieto and President Sweeney: On behalf of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and its 264 member airlines, many of which operate out of airports in the State of New Jersey, I am writing to express our strong opposition to two pending legislative proposals (A11/S2411) which seek to increase dramatically the state’s aviation fuel tax rate. The stated purpose of this increase is to replenish the state’s Transportation Trust Fund in order to pay for non-aviation-related infrastructure items such as roads, bridges, and tunnels. An increase of the tax on aviation fuel of the magnitude proposed can only damage New Jersey’s airports and the communities they serve in the competition for increased connectivity. Commercial air transport to and from New Jersey generates $22 billion annually in economic activity and supports more than 150,000 jobs. In addition to direct spending, jobs, and tax revenue, international aviation is an infrastructure asset that helps to enable foreign direct investment, business clusters, specialization, and other spill-over impacts on the economy. Increasing so significantly the cost of airline operations to and from New Jersey would clearly put this success story at risk. Moreover, because amounts collected through the increased levies would be allocated to purposes unrelated to aviation, the proposed legislation would violate federal law. 1 For fuel taxes attributable to aviation operations at any airport that has been the recipient of federal assistance, the statute prohibits the use of tax proceeds for any purpose other than the capital or operating costs of (1) the airport, (2) the local airport system, or (3) any other local facility that is owned or operated by the person or entity that owns or operates the airport that is directly and substantially related to the air transportation of passengers or property.
