OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN WISE Mr. WISE. This hearing of the Government Information, Justice, and Agriculture Subcommittee will come to order. The title today is ''Take Back Your Neighborhood: Police and Citizen Partnerships in Confronting Crime." I want to thank the witness panel that's here, and we look forward to very exciting testimony. Before I get started, I also want to alert the witnesses, I think we'll have the next hour relatively free, but it looks like it's going to be a day of many votes. I apologize and ask your understanding. There are some fairly contentious items on the floor. So we'll try to move this as best we can and as fast as we can to accommodate your schedule. I just wanted to alert you to that. I would ask unanimous consent that my written statement in its entirety be made/art of the record. I do that because I want to depart from it an speak from some notes that I made this morn­ ing. I consider this hearing-and the start of this hearing, inciden~ tally, will be the start of other hearings to come-probably one of the most important set of hearings that I've ever caned as chair of this subcommittee. And the interesting thing is these aren't adverse hearings. This is an oversight subcommittee, but the purpose here is not to engage in adversity but rather it is to learn from each other. I consider these hearings important, because as this subcommittee has been • (1) 2 involved in many areas, and particularly in the area of crime and drug interdiction and drug fighting, this subcommittee has been to many places. It's certainly been to farflung places. Whether you're talking about visiting the Upper Huallaga Valley in Peru or the Chapara region, both major cocaine-producing re­ gions in South America, whether you're talking about viewing the Coast Guard drug interdiction efforts and its C31 functions in Flor­ ida, whether you're talking about local law enforcement and the money that the Department of Justice gets to local law enforce­ ment, the subcommittee, I believe, has been involved at all levels. But I'll tell you what really came home to me was 1 day striding through an area with the present chief of police, Dallas Staples, of Charleston, WV, as we went through a housing project. And as we went through that project, I saw a bunch of youths sitting on a fence. II As we walked through and I saw these young people

Facing state employee contracts entered into by the prior administration that include raises of between 7 percent and 11 percent for thousands of public employees in 2011, Governor Christie said he must do all that is necessary to blunt those poorly conceived and ill-timed contractual obligations that will now heavily burden budgets for Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012. “We are stuck with this problem, but that does not mean I am barred from finding a way to fix it,” said Governor Christie. “I don’t think you will find private sector employees anywhere enjoying the luxury of an 11 percent raise next year. It was a promise that the state cannot afford and should never have been made in the first place.” The task force was created to examine areas where government services and functions can be provided by the private sector.

  • New Jersey Voters' Take on 2008
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contact: PATRICK MURRAY For more information: 732-263-5858 (office) Monmouth University Polling Institute 732-979-6769 (cell) [email protected] 400 Cedar Avenue West Long Branch, NJ 07764 Released: www.monmouth.edu/polling Wednesday, April 30, 2008 NEW JERSEY VOTERS’ TAKE ON 2008 Senate – Lautenberg in good position for re-election; President – Dem voters turning from Clinton to Obama New Jersey voters have a lot to ponder, with unexpected contests in both parties’ U.S. Senate primaries and a national Democratic nomination that has yet to be settled. On the presidential side, Barack Obama’s message of change seems to have caused a change of heart among many Democratic voters who supported Hillary Clinton in the state’s February 5 th primary. And while a call for change also resonates in the U.S. Senate race, it does not seem to be enough in itself to incite voters to oust incumbent Frank Lautenberg. These are among the findings in the latest Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll . The Senate Race Despite New Jersey voters’ stated preference for a change of face, all signs point to Frank Lautenberg being in a strong position for re-election in both the primary and general elections. Overall, 48% of registered voters in the Garden State approve of the job Frank Lautenberg is doing in the United States Senate, another 31% disapprove and 21% have no opinion. Democrats approve of his job performance by a 59% to 19% margin, and independents give him an advantage at 49% approve to 32% disapprove. Republicans are largely negative – 24% approve to 54% disapprove.
