President Shepard asked for a motion to accept the bills as presented for payment for the month of May 2019 totaling $2,083,508.80. Commissioner Cass-Schmidt made the motion to accept the payment of bills as presented and the motion was seconded by Commissioner McCarthy and unanimously approved by roll call vote. (Attachment No. 1) FINANCE AND BUDGET COMMITTEE Vice President Stuart Lasser, Chair Vice President Lasser convened a meeting of the Finance and Budget Committee on Monday, May 20, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. President Shepard and Commissioners McCarthy and Cass-Schmidt were present, along with Executive Director Helmer and Deputy Executive Director Vitale. Vice President Lasser stated that the 2018 Audit was successful and a very good report. President Shepard stated that it is important to know that our surplus is down, but it is not due to any spending habits; rather, it is due to revenue issues. Commissioner Cass-Schmidt stated that it was a very positive report and there were no items that we need to address. Deputy Executive Director Vitale passed around the signature form, which is required with the Resolution, so everyone has to sign each document (there are four). The fee schedule was also reviewed and there are two recommendations. One is from Promotion and Business relating to the Mennen Sports Arena, and we will be adjusting fees. Effective September 1 we will be raising the skate rental to $5.00 from $4.00, and also adjusting the 8-week Learn to Skate program rate, which will be going from $140.00 to $150.00 for that class. This will help offset the minimum wage, which will be going into effect in July, for the first round to offset the expenses that we will incur for that. We have received a recommendation from Billy Casper Golf to start adjusting their fees as they relate to general play, excluding off-season rates and league play. Every rate will be increased by $1.00 effective July 1, 2019. These rate increase will aid in off-setting the new minimum wage rates beginning July 1st. Deputy Executive Director Vitale stated that in the past we have done some small proposals and evaluations on sponsorship throughout the Park System. A couple of weeks ago we found an example provided by Maryland, and our new Purchasing Agent Ed Cho has put together a new RFP to evaluate sponsorship opportunities, primarily throughout non-cultural educational sites, but more like Mennen Sports Arena, Central Park of Morris County, Trails Kiosk, and pavilions throughout the Park System so that we can get an idea of what potential revenue sponsorships we can earn or generate and begin marketing if that sponsorship deal is within our scope. That should hopefully be going out during the next week or so and we are looking to receive the responses back in mid-July. Executive Director Helmer has set up a Committee so that we can review those and, hopefully, we will be able to give a response in September. The Committee denied a $132.00 refund request for a camper(Reservation #6788) using an RV Site at the Mahlon Dickerson Reservation Campgrounds for 5/21/19 thru 5/28/19. Billy Casper Golf provided a report on the sales of Golf Registration Cards and Appreciation Cards. Through April 30th 7,018 Registration Cards were sold and 2,474 Appreciation Cards were sold. The Committee recommended the authorization of the award, extension and rejection of contracts contained in the Resolutions presented for approval at the Park Commission meeting, and the adoption of the following Resolution No. 84-19 through Resolution No. 91-19. Resolution No. Description No. 82-19 Places the Park Commission in Executive Session pursuant to the pertinent provisions of the Open Public Meetings Act. No. 83-19 Adopts Resolution No. 84-19 through No. 91-19 No. 84-19 Voids the checks listed in the Resolution. No. 85-19 Accepts the 2018 Audit. No. 86-19 Awards contract No. 10-19 titled “Small Project Paving Contractor for Various Park Commission Locations” to Crossroads Pavement Maintenance LLC of Pompton Plains, New Jersey, D&L Paving Contractors, Inc. of Nutley, New Jersey, and JAG Paving Corp, Inc. of Kearney, New Jersey on an as needed basis at the unit prices within the contract documents not to exceed $865,000.00. No. 87-19 Assigns Detective John Eckert and Patrol Officer Casey Petrocy as the Park Commission’s Humane Law Enforcement Officers. No. 88-19 Recommends Change Order No. 1 for contract No. 01-18 titled “Floristic Inventory and Assessment of Various Park Commission Locations” in the amount of $7,920.00, changing the contract amount to $111,650.00. No. 89-19 Amends the 2019 Fee Schedule in accordance with the regulation s of the New Jersey Green Acres program. No. 90-19 Amends Change Order No. 1 for Contract No. 62-19 titled “Tree Removal at Various Morris County Park Commission Locations” in the amount of $10,015.00, changing the contract total to $205,495.00. No. 91-19 Commends Scott Connelly for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout and wishes him well in all of his undertakings. President Shepard asked for a motion to accept the report of the Finance and Budget Committee. Commissioner Cass-Schmidt made the motion, which was seconded by Commissioner McCarthy and unanimously approved by roll call vote.

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.

Freedom of the Press: Croswell's Case Cover Page Footnote The instant study was initiated by Professor Vincent C. Hopkins, S.J., of the Department of History, Fordham University, during 1963. In the spring of 1964 be died, leaving an incomplete draft; completion necessitated research, correction, and re-writing almost entirely, to the point where it became an entirly new paper, and the manuscript was ready for printing when the first olumev of Professor Goebel's, The Law Practice of Alexander Hamilton (1964), appeared. At pages 775-SO6 Goebel gives the background of the Croswell case and, because of many details and references there appearing, the present article has been slimmed down considerably. However, the point of view adopted by Goebel is to give the background so that Hamilton's participation and argument can be understood. The purpose of the present article is to disclose the place occupied by this case (and its participants) in the stream of American libertarian principles, and ezpzdally those legal concepts which prevented freedom of the press from becoming an everyday actuality until the legislatures changed the common law.

  • The Trial of John Peter Zenger
    The Trial of John Peter Zenger Should someone be prosecuted for criticizing a government official even if the words are true? Should a judge or a jury decide the case? These were the key issues in the trial of John Peter Zenger. English kings had long controlled the press. King Henry VIII required all writing be licensed before it could be printed. The king prosecuted authors and printers who published unlicensed writing. A powerful royal council known as the Star Chamber controlled the licensing of printed works. The Star Chamber also created a crime called libel. “Seditious libel” was the most serious kind of libel. This outlawed insulting the government, its laws, and officials. Kings and parliaments wanted people to respect them. The Star Chamber ruled that the truth of printed words did not matter. Truth was not a defense in libel cases. In fact, the Star Chamber saw true statements that libeled the government as more dangerous than false ones. People would more easily dismiss false statements. The most famous trial lawyer in the American colonies, Parliament got rid of the Star Chamber Andrew Hamilton addressed the court. He was in 1642, and the last licensing laws defending publisher Peter Zenger against the criminal expired by 1695. But courts continued charge of seditious libel. (New York State Library) to enforce the Star Chamber libel laws. Judges decided whether printed words were libelous. Juries decided only if a defendant had published the words in question. By 1700, “freedom of the press” in England only meant no government licensing. Once authors and printers had published their writing, English officials could still charge them with seditious libel.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.
