Ten days later, many of those Sweeney signs are still standing, such as the ones near the entrance to the Acme Markets in Audubon. Sweeney, a seasoned political figure, held a significant role in the New Jersey Senate from 2002 to 2022, representing the 3rd legislative district. He served as the 114th President of the New Jersey Senate from 2010 to 2022, wielding considerable influence and experience during his tenure.

East Brunswick, N.J. – The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) will hold a public hearing on Monday to discuss proposed new rules N.J.A.C. 12:11, which would create new regulations around the “ABC Test” to determine an employee versus an independent contractor in New Jersey. The proposed new rules – which mimic action taken in California that has led to disastrous results – would drive independent contractors and the self-employed to the verge of extinction in New Jersey and severely impact the state’s port community and supply chain. Senate Labor Committee Chair Gordon Johnson, Senate Legislative Oversight Committee Chair Andrew Zwicker and Senate Commerce Chair Joe Lagana have already sent a letter to the NJDOL expressing concern over “the substantial negative impact that these regulations may have on thousands of independent business owners who are properly classified…” A copy of the letter is attached.

(TRENTON) — In a move to strengthen support for New Jersey’s veterans, the Assembly Appropriations Committee today advanced two major pieces of legislation to overhaul how the state serves its veteran population. Together, the bills would establish a new, cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs to oversee veterans' programs and create an independent Office of the Veteran Advocate with broad authority to investigate abuse, ensure accountability, and elevate the voices of veterans and their families. “These bills are about building a better, more responsive system for veterans in New Jersey—one that puts their needs first, strengthens accountability, and ensures that no one who served our country is left to struggle,” said Assemblywoman Cleopatra Tucker (D-Essex, Union) Chair of the Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee and prime sponsor of both bills. “By creating a standalone Department of Veterans Affairs and an independent Office of the Veteran Advocate, we’re making the kind...

DEAL, NJ – New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) is hosting a blood drive in memory of Jherin Gorcey, a compassionate young woman who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 16. The blood drive will be on Tuesday, June 28th from 1:00pm to 7:00pm at the JCC Jersey Shore. Jherin was a vibrant and active member in her community and was known for her motivation to give back to others. This is the 14th annual blood drive in her memory, which have collected a total of almost 1,000 blood donations combined. NJBS has declared a blood emergency due to less than a 1–2 day supply of critical blood types across the region. The warmer months, known as “trauma season,” bring more accidents and trauma-related injuries, increasing emergency room visits and transfusion needs. At the same time, donations typically decline due to travel, school breaks, and holiday schedules. NJBS has had... Read more →

Over the skies of the South Pacific, Army Air Corps 2nd Lt. Joseph Raymond Sarnoski gave his life to keep his aircrew safe during a dangerous World War II reconnaissance mission. That aircrew became one of the most decorated in history, and Sarnoski posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his actions. Sarnoski was born Jan. 30, 1915, in Simpson, Pennsylvania, to Josephine and John Sarnoski, who left coal mining behind to become farmers. As the second of 17 children, Sarnoski had to help his father on the farm, but he also enjoyed baseball, hunting, fishing, singing and playing the accordion. On March 9, 1936, Sarnoski enlisted in the Army. His first duty station was in Langley, Virginia, where he met and married his wife, Marie Maddox. After training in bomb sight maintenance, Sarnoski became a B-17 Flying Fortress bombardier. In 1941, he was assigned to the 43rd Bombardment Group's... Read more →
