NJBIA welcomed a proposed FY23 State Budget that does not include any new taxes and makes a full pension payment, but strongly cautioned that New Jersey’s rate of spending is unsustainable, and much more can be done to help New Jersey businesses. In testimony before the Assembly Budget Committee today, NJBIA Vice President of Government Affairs Christopher Emigholz said the $48.9 billion budget is the largest in state history and has grown more than 5% since the budget signed nearly nine months ago and 41% over Gov. Phil Murphy’s five budgets. Emigholz said that level of spending is “unsustainable,” with FY23 appropriations exceeding revenue by $1.7 billion. “Budget sustainability often becomes an affordability issue, because an unsustainable structural imbalance has a nasty way of becoming sustainable through tax increases which our taxpayers just cannot afford,” Emigholz said. “An unsustainable budget is not affordable.” Emigholz also noted that the budget is...

WYALUSING, PA (March 24, 2022) - PennFuture, Clean Air Council, and Sierra Club obtained a settlement on March 18 that halts construction of the proposed Bradford County Real Estate Partners (BCREP) liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County, and requires the applicant to obtain a new air quality permit should it wish to continue with this proposed project. This settlement has major implications for New Jersey. The proposed facility is part of an interstate LNG export scheme that would take fracked gas from Pennsylvania, compress it into LNG, then truck or train it across communities, many of which are overburdened, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This transportation of LNG would put these communities at risk of possible derailment, spills, or explosions as well as more air pollution from the trucks and trains. The LNG would then be loaded onto ships at a proposed terminal in Gibbstown, New...

BRIDGEWATER, NJ March 17, 2022 – JOGO-Gx, a non-invasive digital therapeutic built with AI and wearables that taps into the neuroplasticity of the brain using biofeedback, shows early success as a Parkinson’s Disease treatment. An uncurable progressive nerve system illness, Parkinson’s affects more than 10 million people worldwide with symptoms such as uncontrollable tremors and muscular rigidity.

Bill Donohue | CNBNewsnet Contributor Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on how child and parental rights are being violated by an educational association: Three weeks ago today, I sent a letter to Donna Orem, president of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), asking her to validate a story about the organization that was published by Breitbart, an internet media outlet; copies were sent to members of the board of trustees. She has not replied, thus I am going public with my concerns. NAIS is the national accreditation association for private schools across the country. In my letter I refer to its "queer-inclusive curriculum," one which constitutes manipulative and highly objectionable fare. Moreover, it does so in secrecy, intentionally shielding parents from its contents. Many Catholic parents who send their children to a private non-sectarian school would be horrified to learn what the curriculum entails, as would non-Catholic parents....

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNewsnet GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (March 22, 2022)(CNBNewsnet)--For over a decade or more residents in Gloucester City, including the press, have had to rely on bits and pieces of trickled information coming from the Municipal Building to learn about what was happening in the City. In the past whenever the Press would ask a question the response was always "you'll have to submit an OPRA (Open Public Records Act) request". As far as this reporter is concerned the OPRA process is time-consuming and costly for taxpayers. Most of the time many questions from the Press can be answered with a simple yes or no answer. Plus the law has no teeth; meaning the punishment levied against a municipality for not complying with a request is a slap on the wrist.

Alabama $30,000 to $115,000 Mississippi $34,818 to $103,354 Florida $41,696 to $124,466 Nevada $48,674 to $145,296 Delaware $49,705 to $148,374 New Jersey $56,409 to $168,384 Maryland $60,487 to $180,558 Notice two states are conspicuously missing - California and New York. New York is explainable; it is a state, not just a very expensive city. Once out of the...
