  • Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections
    Results of the 2007 New Jersey General Elections On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, New Jersey voters went to the polls to select all 120 seats in the Legislature. Yesterday’s general election altered the current make-up (50-30) of the State Assembly and the Senate (22-18). The Democrats retain control of both houses. The new make-up of the Assembly will be 48-32 and the Senate will be 23-17. After a lame duck session which begins on November 8, 2007, the new members of the Legislature will be sworn in on January 8, 2008. Efforts to resolve leadership in both houses will take place this week. Strong signals are that Senate President Dick Codey (D) will remain in his current leadership role with Joe Vitale, Paul Sarlo and Steve Sweeney vying for majority leader and budget committee chairman respectively in the upcoming Senate leadership election. Senate Minority Leader Leonard Lance (R) is reportedly going to forgo his leadership role in favor of Senator Tom Kean, Jr. (R) with Lance potentially to take over as the ranking Republican member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts (D) will retain his Speakership, backed up by current Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman. Minority Leader Alex DeCroce (R) is expected to retain his Assembly Minority Leader position. We will keep you apprised as to the final decisions on leadership. With a few notable exceptions, all incumbent legislators defeated their general election challengers. The following is a breakdown of the election results from the targeted districts – which are usually the most publicized, contentious and expensive campaigns in the State: District 1 (Atlantic/Cape May/Cumberland) – This split district has now gone to the Democrats with the election of incumbent Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew (D), who defeated incumbent Senator Nick Asselta (R) for the Senate seat by a 56-44 percent margin.

On behalf of the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA), we thank you for addressing the extension of permits under the Municipal Land Use Law in S2346 (Sarlo)/A3919 (Calabrese). The association generally supports this bill with the following amendments in order to ensure a definitive quantifiable period of time that is not contingent upon the lifting of the emergency declaration. Specifically, rather than generally extending the time for decisions on planning board applications by a timeframe that is dependent on the rescission of the public health state of emergency, the NJSBA recommends a definitive 60-day extension for decisions (to 180 days) after the application is deemed complete. In addition, the NJSBA recommends enumerating with certainty the extension of deadlines to grant or deny applications pursuant to the “Municipal Land Use Law” by 150%. An amended version of this bill is attached to this correspondence for your consideration. These amendments seek to balance the government’s need for additional time to act under the circumstances with an applicant’s need for a reliable, more certain decisional timeframe on proposals.

  • Honor Final Draft
    Advocating for Students with Exceptional Needs in Public Education By: Cassandra Fenton Project Description When creating this project, my goal was to combine my knowledge and experiences from my major in political science and my participation in the teacher certification program. To that end, this project is a political activism campaign that seeks to empower those in the education field, specially advocates for students with exceptional needs, to exercise their political voice. I have too often felt the sentiment of disenfranchisement by those are not actively involved in politics. In order to address this negative perception of politics and government, my project strives to inform professionals in the education field of their ability and right to exercise their political voice. Those in the field are the most equipped to advise policy surrounding special education, and this expertise can be of great use for politicians. The primary component of my project are two issue letters that can be sent to representatives to advocate for the rights of students with exceptional needs. The first letter tackles the issue of lack of adequate funding for special education by the state. The second letter addresses the general disrespect for the teaching profession as well many of the obstacles teachers must overcome to educate their students effectively. While these letters can be sent as is, they are meant to inspire professionals in the field to share their own expertise with their representatives. I have also included a graph to demonstrate that a vote carries more weight at lower levels of government, for which less people come out to vote, as opposed to the highest offices, which attract the greatest voter turnout.

  • Bipartisan Transportation Plan Gains Support
    New Jersey Legislature News BIPARTISAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN GAINS SUPPORT Backed by a wide range of organizations and advocacy groups and joined by legislators from both parties and both houses of the Legislature, Senator Paul Sarlo and Senator Steve Oroho said today they will continue to work to gain additional support for their plan to renew the Transportation Trust Fund and introduce their detailed legislation immediately, preventing the fund from going broke and providing a dedicated, long‐term funding plan to meet the state's critical transportation needs as well as immediate and long‐term economic benefits. Joining in support were Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Republican Senator Joe Kyrillos and Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald, the Assembly sponsor of the plan that includes a series of tax‐saving measures. "This is a detailed plan that will address the state's critical transportation needs at the same time it creates jobs and delivers a significant boost to the economy," said Senator Sarlo, a sponsor of the bill. "It also includes a series of tax saving measures to aid the working poor, retirees and middle class families. We have bipartisan participation and support in both the Senate and Assembly." The TTF would gain the resources to invest $2 billion a year for 10 years to repair, upgrade and maintain the state's roads, bridges, tunnels and railways, the "lifeblood of the New Jersey economy," Senator Sarlo said. The funds would be generated by increases in petroleum taxes that, if passed along to motorists, could add 23 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas.

  • 2013 New Jersey Election Results
    2013 New Jersey Election Results SUMMARY As indicated by all of the pre-election polls Governor Chris Christie (R) cruised to victory over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D). With this significant re-election victory the Governor’s 2016 national aspirations become even more realistic. At the same time Chris Christie’s win did not result in down ballot coattails, both houses of the New Jersey Legislature remained under Democratic control with only two Republican gains in the Assembly. GOVERNOR As expected, Governor Chris Chirstie (R) easily won re-election for a second term as Governor of the State of New Jersey over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D) by a resounding margin of 60% to 38%. The Governor carried every county in the state with the exception of the traditional democratic strongholds of Essex and Hudson. Even in those democratic areas Buono’s margin of victory lagged far behind normal pluralities. LEGISLATURE Targeted Districts 1st Legislative District (Cape May and parts of Atlantic and Cumberland Counties) Incumbent State Senator Jeff Van Drew (D) withheld a significant challenge from Susan Schmidt (R) winning the district with 59% to 40% percent of the vote and Assemblyman Bob Andrzejcak retained his seat with 27% of the vote. However - Republicans may have picked up one seat with Cumberland County Freeholder Sam Fiocchi (R) defeating incumbent Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D). The incumbent faced criticism since The Star-Ledger reported how he used his position to try to get out of a speeding ticket. Since the difference between the candidates is only 1284 votes a recount is possible.

    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.

  • Panel Pushes Controversial Nomination for Pinelands Commission to Full Senate
    Panel Pushes Controversial Nomination for Pinelands Commission to Full Senate Tom Johnson | February 25, 2015 Critics contend appointment sends wrong message to conservation community, do what governor says or be prepared to be replaced Sen. Christopher (Kip) Bateman (R-Somerset) By a narrow margin, the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday voted to approve the nomination of Robert Barr to the Pinelands Commission, an appointment almost universally opposed by the conservation community. The action marked the third time Barr had come up before the panel, which had previously failed to garner enough votes to release the nomination and send it to the full Senate. Yesterday’s approval cleared the committee in a 7-5-1 vote. His nomination drew protests from many environmental groups and lawmakers, mostly because he would replace a commissioner who had refused to back a controversial natural gas pipeline project through preservation areas of the Pinelands. “I view this as stacking the deck when you don’t get the results you want. This is wrong,’’ said Sen. Chris (Kip) Bateman (R-Somerset), the only Republican on the committee to vote against the nomination. Sen. Nia Gill (D-Union) agreed. “This is about power. If you disagree with Gov. (Chris) Christie, you will be replaced,’’ Gill said. The controversy over the appointment emerged from a deadlocked vote in which the Pinelands Commission refused to approve a memorandum of agreement that would allow construction of a 22- mile natural-gas pipeline in the Pinelands proposed by South Jersey Gas. The proposed pipeline, designed to deliver natural gas to the former B.L.
