While xylazine remains less common in the Western U.S., border cities serve as key trafficking hubs and may have higher rates of emerging substances. The findings, published on March 20, 2025 in the Journal of Addiction Medicine, highlight the urgent need for public health intervention. “Xylazine is a veterinary anesthetic that is not approved for human use and is increasingly detected alongside illicit fentanyl in parts of the United States and Canada,” said senior author Joseph R.

(TRENTON) — The Assembly State and Local Government Committee on Thursday advanced Bill A941, which would provide a retroactive property tax exemption for veterans declared 100% disabled. The legislation, sponsored by Assemblymen Roy Freiman, Christopher Tully, and Julio Marenco, would address administrative delays that prevent some disabled veterans from receiving their property tax exemption. “Veterans have made sacrifices for our country that we can never truly repay,” said Assemblyman Freiman (D-Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset). “This bill is a critical step in addressing the financial struggles of disabled veterans, guaranteeing they receive the benefits they’ve earned—without the unnecessary delays that have too often kept them from getting the support they deserve.” Under the bill, municipalities would be required to return all property taxes collected on the veteran's property after the effective date of the disability determination by the United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Additionally, the State would then reimburse... Read more →

Gov. Murphy’s budget is bad for local news by Terrence T. McDonald, New Jersey Monitor March 21, 2025 Nearly seven years ago, Gov. Phil Murphy took a bold step toward reviving, strengthening, and transforming local media and civic engagement. In August 2018, eight months into Murphy’s first term, he signed a widely popular, bipartisan bill establishing the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium, an entity formed to provide financial aid to create and support trustworthy, community-based news. “I believe the Consortium is a viable means to begin to combat the widespread proliferation of deliberately false or misleading information that threatens our democracy and contributed to getting President Trump elected,” Murphy said then. State funding for the consortium has risen from $500,000 to $3 million. Now, with nine months left until Murphy leaves office, his last budget plan proposes quite a different commitment to the consortium: zero dollars. His spending plan also... Read more →
