CIG INSIDER ELECTION EDITION November 2019 Election Results With several contested races throughout the state, few were watched more closely than the re- election campaigns of Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick and Assemblywoman Nancy Munoz (R-Morris).

LD2 was closely contested as well, and while that race is too close to call with VBM ballots still being counted, it appears that the Democratic Assemblymen Vince Mazzeo and John Armato will hold on to their seats. If those seats hold, Democrats will maintain a commanding 52-28 majority in the Assembly while the Senate Democrats will lose one seat but control a dominating 25-15 majority.

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.

    INSIGHT PUBLISHED BY THE PROBATION ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY OFFICE ADDRESS: UNITED PROFESSIONAL CENTER, BLDG. 2, 617 UNION AVE BRIELLE, NJ 08730 ISSN 1065-7800 DECEMBER 2013 WWW.PANJ.ORG “A VICTORY FOR ALL!” MONMOUTH PILOT PROGRAM By Dwight Covaleskie, President Elect O n December 9, 2010, a Grievance was fi led by then Monmouth Local President, Ellen Cribbin. The statement of the Grievance was that, “A Pilot Program was implemented on 11-8-10, making Probation Offi cers responsible for Team Leader functions in CCM.” The Grievance was initially denied by the Vicinage as non- grievable. An Additional grievance was fi led on July 20, 2011 when additional PO titles were assigned to Courtroom duties that were typically performed by PANJ Supervisors. PANJ strongly viewed these actions, as a way to circumvent a prior Arbitration Award. Eventually, this matter was assigned to a Judiciary Hearing Offi cer. Without holding a hearing in the matter, the Hearing Offi cer granted the Vicinage’s claims dismissing all alleged violations except for Article 7.6 E. The fact that a hearing was not held is the subject of a separate Arbitration, as our contract clearly calls for a hearing in these matters. In addition, PANJ members were told to complete a Job Information Questionnaire or face disciplinary action. The Arbitrator found in this instant matter, “the Vicinages emphasis on the JIQ process in denying the grievance is not legitimate given the many fl aws in the process.” The Arbitrator further states that, there is nothing in Article 26 that gives the Vicinage the Authority to direct employees to submit to a Classifi cation Review and certainly not under the threat of Discipline.” More importantly to both units, the Arbitrator ruled that the contract was violated by having PCR staff perform the duties of a Team Leader.

    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.

  • Strengthen Political Parties to Offset Increased Spending by Independent Groups, Says Jeff Brindle
    Strengthen political parties to offset increased spending by independent groups, says Jeff Brindle JEFF BRINDLE • March 17, 2018 For The Press In four legislative elections since 2011, so-called dark-money groups drilled down with more than $3.7 million in independent spending in the 2nd Legislative District. With the 2nd District among the most competitive in the state, that figure would have been tops in the state among legislative districts if not for $14 million spent by dark-money groups in neighboring 3rd District this past November. Dark money is campaign funding whose source isn’t required to be disclosed, although it often is. Dark-money groups are independent committees operated by special interests outside the control of parties or candidates. They are often anonymous, not regulated by state law, and often exempt from disclosing their activities. Seventeen Atlantic county communities, including Atlantic City, comprise the 2nd District. Attesting to its competitiveness, the district is represented by state Sen. Chris Brown, a Republican, and Democratic Assemblymen Vince Mazzeo and John Armato. If history is a guide, this district will continue to be highly competitive, a sure invitation to significant, if not overwhelming, dark money involvement in the future. What has occurred in the 2nd District reflects statewide trends at all levels of government. For instance, between the state elections of 2005 and 2017, dark-money spending grew by more than 11,000 percent. From $411,224 in 2005 dark-money independent spending climbed to $47.5 million in 2017. In comparison, state and county parties spent $48 million in 2005 and $26 million 2017, a complete reversal of fortune.
