TRENTON – With black bears emerging from winter dens and foraging for food, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection advises residents and outdoor enthusiasts to reduce the potential for black bear encounters by removing access to unnatural food sources, such as unsecured trash, that can attract and cause unwanted encounters with bears. “Bears are actively searching for food in early spring as they leave their dens and have an extremely keen sense of smell that allows them to identify food sources over long distances,” said NJDEP Fish & Wildlife Assistant Commissioner Dave Golden. “It’s important to secure your garbage and other potential food sources as the smell can draw them into neighborhoods looking for an easy meal. The risk of an unwanted encounter rises if bears associate you or your property with food.” It is essential to remove and properly secure trash, pet food, bird seed, and even small... Read more →

WASHINGTON D.C. –  Senator Andy Kim released the following statement condemning President Trump for illegally firing the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): “Firing FTC commissioners is not only another one of Trump’s power grabs; it is blatantly illegal and against a 90-year Supreme Court precedent. By sabotaging the FTC’s independence, Trump is trying to ensure this agency works only for his interests, not those of the small businesses, families, and American workers that the FTC is there to protect. While the direct impact of the FTC might not be top of mind for many, this extremism and corruption cannot go overlooked.” Read more →

The casino industry has always been subject to extensive regulation and monitoring. This is even more true with the rise in online gambling in recent years. Many countries have collected vast amounts of information about the industry, its cash flows, and the players who engage in the games on offer. This information serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it helps regulators ensure that gambling is correctly reported for purposes like taxation and helps identify areas where crime may occur. Secondly, it gives the industry and government insight into what is happening in the sector to help better regulate it for the protection of players and operators. New Jersey, as one of the largest gambling states in the US, is well-known for this. The 2024 gambling results the state released in early 2025 show how gambling has changed in the state and paint a vivid picture of the industry. Below, we’ll provide... Read more →

Your NRA testified against a slate of anti-gun bills in the Assembly Judiciary Committee last month in Trenton. With plugged ears, anti-gun Democrats forced their agenda through despite testimony revealing numerous problems with the legislation. On Thursday, March 20th, another committee; the Assembly Appropriations Committee, is scheduled to consider the same package of bills. This is about politics for them, not public safety. They need to keep their anti-gun base satiated because they have proven they have no real answers to fix the state’s enormous problems. They are more interested in holding on to power than ebbing the tide of outbound moving vans. Again, these are the same bills which passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee and must pass Assembly Appropriations before advancing to the floor. A.4974 prescribes penalties for the sale and possession of “machine gun conversion devices.” Such devices are already banned at both the state and federal level.... Read more →

A new study found New Jersey is the No. 7 most expensive state to start a business, an important revelation for small business owners deciding where to set up shop amid growing economic uncertainty. The 10 cheapest states are in the West or Midwest as many levy no corporate taxes and have fewer regulations.
