I was in a long line at 7:45 AM today at the grocery store that opened at 8 AM for seniors only. A young man came from the parking lot and tried to cut in at the front of the line, but an old lady beat him back into the parking lot with her cane. He returned and tried to cut in again but an old man punched him in the gut, then kicked him to the ground and rolled him away. As he approached the line for the 3rd time he said, "If you don't let me unlock the door, you'll never get in there." Bonnie F. Read more →

Gloucester Township, NJ) –The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 21 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing. “While resources become more available from our three major county-based healthcare facilities, we continue to see a steady stream of confirmed positive tests for the novel coronavirus. Again, I believe, considering the delay in getting testing into the county and the state, that these numbers will continue to grow based on the original lag time in testing and the delay in getting tests back from the lab,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Unified as one community, we have to be prepared for an extended fight. Preparation and a consistent response are how we break the back of this virus and win this war. I want to thank everyone who has been staying home and encourage... Read more →

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced Wednesday a new relief fund for small businesses struggling during the coronavirus pandemic. The $100 million COVID-19 Working Capital Access Program (CWCA) will provide loans up to $100,000 for businesses with 100 or fewer full-time employees. “My top priority is to save Pennsylvania lives, then save their livelihoods,” Wolf said. “I am utilizing every resource available to assist Pennsylvania’s business during this incredibly difficult time, and this small business funding availability is a step in the right direction. It will help provide a little peace of mind to hundreds of small business owners and their employees.” The state began enforcing mandated closures of nonessential businesses Monday as the rate of residents diagnosed with COVID-19 continues doubling every two days. Wolf has also enacted stay at home orders for 10 counties that cover more than half of the state’s population. The Department... Read more →

By Joe Chen | The Center Square (The Center Square) – Since New Jersey's price gouging laws came into effect when the state entered a State of Emergency on March 9, the state has received a flood of complaints regarding excessive pricing on items such as surgical masks, gloves, and sanitizing products. “To date, our Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) has received over 1,400 COVID-19 related complaints concerning some 900 distinct business locations across New Jersey," Gurbir Grewal, attorney general, said at a coronavirus briefing this week. "We’ve issued about 160 cease-and-desist letters and served nearly 30 subpoenas." Of the approximately 350 inspections completed by the DCA, most of the price increases were determined to be appropriate because suppliers have raised the prices on retailers. "Excessive price increases are defined as those that are more than 10% higher than the price at which merchandise was sold during the normal course... Read more →

Jeff Tittel, NJ Sierra Club The EPA issued a suspension of its enforcement of environmental laws, telling companies they would not need to meet environmental standards during the coronavirus outbreak. The temporary policy, for which EPA has set no end date, would allow any number of industries to skirt environmental laws, with the agency say it will not “seek penalties for noncompliance with routine monitoring and reporting obligations.” “Trump’s EPA is putting our public health in danger by using the coronavirus as an excuse to suspend enforcement. Without a cop on the beat, now polluters and others can violate environmental laws at will without getting caught. This is one of the most reckless things done by a government agency. EPA have created a polluter’s holiday. There is no one to enforce environmental laws, which means chemical companies, oil companies, and major polluters can ignore permits, violate the law without any... Read more →

America is currently facing a grave health emergency with a serious impact on our economy. Our workers, families and small business owners urgently need relief, and they need it now. Earlier today, Congress passed a nearly $2 trillion relief package to protect workers and families during the current COVID pandemic.

The number of reported coronavirus cases in New Jersey has risen sharply: 2,492 more cases in only a day, plus 19 more deaths. A new report from researchers at Rutgers University-Camden estimates that hospitals in New Jersey will become overwhelmed in early April, with a shortage of 60,000 beds. And that's only if the state practices strict social distancing. If residents don't follow the new, statewide "stay-at-home" law, and people choose to live with only a moderate level of distancing, then hospitals will be overwhelmed sooner — as early as next week — and our hospitals would be 190,000 beds short. (Note: the study didn't include future hospital beds, like these four field hospitals that will open soon.) And this graphic shows projections at the county level, based on how far apart we decide to stay from each other. (NJ Spotlight) Economy: NJ may give homeowners mortgage relief, governor says...

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ —Domestic violence in Camden County may be about to get much worse. In a county that already reports the second highest rates of domestic violence in the state, the added stress of the COVID-19 virus and resulting “stay at home” mandates that have no end in sight is likely to compound existing abuse and intimate partner violence. Quarticha Perkins, Director of Victims Services for Camden County Women’s Center (CCWC) states: “We are losing the ability to live our lives as we normally would due to forces beyond our control. Many people are not able to work, children are out of school and we are all being told to stay at home.” Home for some, may not be a safe place during the best of times. Most domestic violence cases focus on power and control. Thus, when abusers lose control in some areas, they may take it out... Read more →

US Olympic sailor Carol Newman Cronin, who competed in Athens in 2004, knows what it’s US Olympic sailor Carol Newman Cronin like to be an athlete in uncertain times. On September 12, 2001, while on her way to a regatta in preparation for the Games, she “sailed” right past the still-smoking remains of the Twin Towers. The whole world had shifted on its axis, paralyzed with shock and fear. Yet Carol sailed on. Sailors, she points out, are uniquely trained to adapt to a constant barrage of uncertainty. Sticking to her schedule right after 9/11 was her way of holding onto something normal so she could be mentally prepared to chart her course—whatever it might be. She also knew it was her only way to offer hope to her many followers. Now, amid the shock and devastation of the Coronavirus crisis and Olympic postponement, Cronin, whose 4th novel Ferry to...

On March 13, 2020, President Donald J. Trump declared the outbreak of COVID-19 (the coronavirus) in the United States to be a national emergency. Unfortunately, criminals and scammers are trying to take advantage of the crisis for their own profit.

Linwood, NJ — Conservative U.S. Senate candidate Hirsh Singh continued to demonstrate his overwhelming support in the most Republican areas of New Jersey by winning the endorsement of the Republican Party organizations of Cumberland County and Atlantic County. Singh's win comes on the back of his wins in Ocean County and Cape May County, and momentum is now solidly on his side. An analysis of Hirsh Singh's support base clearly shows that all his support is from committed Republicans who represent their constituents while his opponent has been propped up by the party elite who had opposed Donald Trump's candidacy in 2016. Bergen County Republican Party's convention has been canceled and looks like it will not endorse any candidate, but Singh was expected to win there as he had with Ocean County. A consistent pattern that has emerged in this year's election in New Jersey is that the pro-Trump Republicans... Read more →

Mt. Holly, NJ--Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced that a 29-year-old Mount Laurel man has pled guilty to possessing child pornography. Under an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office, Robert J.

FEAR OF BEING LEFT BEHIND BY CONGRESS AS COVID-19 GRINDS INDUSTRY TO A HALT COVID-19 Relief Bills Leave Behind Nation’s 11 Million Construction Workers and Their Families Newark, NJ – COVID-19 has decimated the U.S. construction industry, and Congress has done little to stop it or to provide relief for workers in this major jobs sector, a leading international building trade union charged Monday. Although construction is the 6th largest U.S. employment sector – larger than the transportation, financial, and information sectors – the needs of construction workers have been excluded from COVID-19 relief bills currently being considered by Congress. Construction labor officials say the industry is being overlooked. “Millions of construction workers and their families are getting totally wiped out, and Congress is doing very little about it,” fumed Ken Rigmaiden, General President of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT), which represents more than a hundred...
