Sam Petsonk, the Democratic nominee for West Virginia Attorney General, is a labor lawyer who has dedicated his career to ensuring better wages, working conditions, and retirement benefits for coal Gloucestercitynews.net files miners and all workers – recovering millions of dollars in judgments against some of the most powerful companies in the state.

The New Jersey Business & Industry Association is opposing legislation today that creates a presumption that certain essential employees contracted COVID-19 on the job and shifts the response costs onto New Jersey’s workers compensation system. NJBIA Vice President of Government Affairs Ray Cantor submitted testimony to the Assembly Appropriations Committee that explained this process would increase premiums and ultimately result in significant financial loss on employers, many of which are struggling due to the pandemic. Cantor also added that federal CARES Act money is already allocated to cover the costs of essential workers who contract COVID-19. He said if the bill becomes law, the Legislature would leave federal dollars on the table and force the employer community to shoulder the increase. “NJBIA recognizes the intent of the legislation to ensure that our essential employees who become ill receive the benefits they need,” Cantor said. “We believe that the goal can...

By Jason Snead July 2020 THE CENTER SQUARE Even as New Jersey voters look to the general election, many are still coping with the aftermath of the state’s first all-mail vote. Paterson, the Garden State’s third-largest city, is mired in a burgeoning election scandal. One in five ballots have been rejected. The local NAACP has cried foul. And now, four men – including a councilman and councilman-elect – have been charged by the state’s attorney general with criminal election fraud. The state’s May 12 election was conducted entirely by mail on Gov. Phil Murphy’s order. Ballots were automatically sent to every registration. That makes Paterson an early test of the vote-by-mail model now being pushed in unison by the political left. The fact that it immediately went off the rails is a warning to the nation that we would be foolish to ignore. Concerns began mounting before voting had even... Read more →

July 27, 2020 by Jonathan Cohen Senior Attorney, Division of Enforcement, FTC You might remember that, back in 2016, the FTC sued and then settled with Volkswagen and Porsche over their multi-million dollar “clean diesel” marketing campaigns. The problem? The VWs, Audis, and Porsches they said were “clean” actually had an illegal device to let the cars pass emissions tests. Not so clean, after all. The settlement that the FTC attorneys and I negotiated – along with the private bar – got Volkswagen and Porsche to agree to pay up to $10 billion to replace or repair the more than 550,000 cars affected. That meant the full retail price of those cars – plus repaying people for things including their time, and taxes and registration fees. Today, our final report went to the court, explaining what happened in the program – what we call redress. It is, as the report... Read more →

Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS – Why do some people stay sharp into their 90s, even if they have the amyloid plaques in the brain that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease? And why do others reach their 90s without ever developing any plaques?

The study involved 100 people who did not have dementia and were followed for up to 14 years, when they were an average of 92 years old.
