Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital Nurse Manager Rory Levinson, MSN, RN, BN-BC, CEN, was recently honored with a DAISY Team Leader Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

Next year is shaping up to be an expensive one for Garden State drivers as the New Jersey Turnpike Authority officially joins a list of potential toll and fare hikes that will take effect in 2025. It was never a matter of "if" tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway would go up but rather "how much" as the authority has adopted an index approach to budgeting toll increases by a minimum of 3% each year. The process eliminates the need for public hearings. Tolls will increase on Jan. 1 by 16 cents on the NJ Turnpike and 8 cents at Parkway barrier plazas, and 3 cents on Parkway entrance and exit ramps. The revenue, according to the authority, will be used to fund its $2.7 billion budget. In the agenda for Tuesday's meeting, the authority said that toll revenue was down in 2024 for the ten...

Unfortunately, Liv has withdrawn from college and is no longer working once again putting her life on hold.

Agencies to jointly enforce, provide outreach on federal, state regulations WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development have launched a joint strategic enforcement initiative to combat violations of federal and state child labor laws.

This approach augments each department’s existing complaint-driven enforcement actions. “At the Wage and Hour Division, our priority is protecting the most vulnerable workers in our country, our children,” said Wage and Hour Administrator Jessica Looman. “We will use strategic enforcement, innovation, and every available tool to hold any employer who tries to profit by...

Dorothy Philbin | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ November 4, 2022)--While researching one thing, I found another, and another and eventually found myself researching sexual offenders living in Gloucester City. I wondered how many there were, where they were living, and how the predator population in our city compared to other towns. All of this information is available on datauniverse.com and the NJ State Police Megan's List. I have to say, the State Police Megan's List isn't as easily available as it used to be. I don't know if this is another case of keeping information from the taxpayers or if the State Police have given Megan's List a lower priority over time.

by Earl Foster So we had another election where voting is questionable depending on your perspective. In spite of countless reports of ballot harvesting, and missing ballots, those in any authority refuse to acknowledge there was/is a problem. Were the “Legal American” people cheated out of their vote and the election process? We may never know as a dangerous president was set due to a virus situation unleashed on the world and used by politicians to gain particular advantages over society in the opinion of many. During the year 2020 we saw that certain riots, looting and destruction of property has been deemed acceptable depending on the cause that was spun by the media who should have been held accountable for this year mayhem. Disagreeing with particular politicians however, is NOT one of the acceptable causes. Standing up for your rights is NOT one of the acceptable causes. Democrats asked...
