  • April 10, 2020 the Honorable Philip D. Murphy
    April 10, 2020 The Honorable Philip D. Murphy Governor of the State of New Jersey Office of the Governor Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy: We write to request critically needed funding for Warren, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Salem Counties that was appropriated to New Jersey through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As you are aware, these counties, and their respective municipalities, did not receive federal funding through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) set forth in the CARES Act utilizing long-standing, unchangeable, and automatic formulas. These formulas were set into place under the Administration of President Gerald R. Ford, in 1974 and 1977. Warren and Sussex Counties, along with Hunterdon and Salem Counties, did not meet any of the three criteria of these automatic, predetermined federal formulas: 1) counties with at least 500,000 people; 2) cities with populations more than 50,000; or 3) “principal cities,” which is a Census formula designation. That said, beyond the set formulas which are out of our control, the State of New Jersey also received certain non-entitlement funding through the CDBG (more than $4 million) and ESG (more than $11 million) programs that you can allocate based on discretionary need throughout the State, particularly to help struggling municipalities that did not receive enough relief. We believe these counties meet that requirement and ask that you please immediately allocate the discretionary funding to these localities. These four counties remain in the so-called “hot” region of the outbreak in our State and need this critical funding to get through the challenging next weeks and months.

  • April 21, 2020 I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts
    Click to view newsletter archives View a Featured Ad at the End of this Email. April 21, 2020 I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts II. Governor’s Office Briefing Calls for Mayors Municipal Clerks: Please forward to your Mayor, Governing Body and Department Heads. To assist in providing guidance and information we have created a COVID-19 resource page. We will continue to update the page as we get pertinent information and include announcements in our Daily Updates. ****************************************************************************************************** I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts At this time–and it could change in a heartbeat–it seems that aid to New Jersey municipalities will not be included in the compromise legislation being negotiated in Washington. There appears to be strong opposition coming from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and from the White House for that, at this time. Both Senator McConnell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin have indicated a willingness to further consider the plight of state and local governments, in future legislation. We need to continue to push for passage of the Coronavirus Community Relief Act (the CCRA - H.R.6467) and its U.S. Senate companion, which awaits formal introduction. Currently on record sponsoring and supporting the CCRA are Senator Booker and House Members Malinowski, Gottheimer, Sherrill, Sires, Van Drew, and Watson Coleman. Please contact your Congressman, if not yet a cosponsor, and urge him to get on board by cosponsoring the CCRA. New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., along with Florida Congressman John Rutherford, is spearheading another effort to secure relief for our State and its local governments.

  • January 2019 Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE JANUARY 2019 The November election resulted in a Congress that looks far different than it ever has. As you know, Democrats took over the House, and both political parties changed in significant ways that will likely affect the way business is done in Washington. As the Majority, Democrats will have control over those Committees affecting maritime policy. Chairman Adam Smith (D-WA) and Ranking Member Mac Thornberry (R-TX) will head up the House Armed Services Committee which notably has jurisdiction over the Maritime Security Program, as well as any "new build" and recapitalization issues impacting the maritime schools' training ships. Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO) lead the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (T&I) which has jurisdiction over the majority of issues important to the U.S.-flag industry, including the Coast Guard, the Jones Act and MarAd. Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) chairs the House Appropriations Committee along with her Republican counterpart Kay Granger (R- TX). The Committee oversees MSP funding. Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MI) and Ranking Member Mike Rogers (R-AL) head up the House Homeland Security Committee which has jurisdiction over ports under the Marine Transportation Security Act and other maritime security issues. We are still awaiting the announcement of House Subcommittee leadership appointments including Chairs for the Armed Services Committee's Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee (expected to be Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.)) and T&I’s Coast Guard & Maritime Transportation Subcommittee. In the Senate, Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will oversee the Senate Appropriations Committee.

  • Nj's Lgbt Powerlist
    THE 2018 INSIDER OUT 100 NJ’S LGBT POWERLIST WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! Message from the Editor 2018 LGBT POWER Welcome to InsiderNJ’s OUT 100 Power List, a first-of-its kind-tribute to influential LGBTs in New Jersey politics. This list was a reader’s idea. My editor Max Pizarro and my General Manager Pete Oneglia green-lighted the idea so long as I promised to make it amazing. These Power Lists mean a lot to people. Making it amazing seems like the least I could do given this opportunity. P.O. Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, HAVEN’T WE? When I acquired HIV as a teenager back in 1992, you’d be hard pressed to name a single politically influential LGBT person anywhere in America, let alone 100 from a single state! Nobody was talking about gay marriage. There were no workplace protections back then, no gays in the military. What Max Pizarro we did have was a hostile government and an equally hostile Catholic Church driving our nation’s Editor-in-Chief AIDS policy. Which might explain why the life-saving AIDS “cocktail” was still years away, something [email protected] I blessedly wouldn’t need until 1998. Many listed below played a huge role taming the AIDS crisis and then delivering a raft of pro-LGBT laws in its wake. This list also includes the next generation of LGBTs already making their mark on the New Jersey political landscape. They’ve snatched the baton in a purposeful manner befitting a generation raised to dream bigger than mine ever could.
