23 Nov: Beach/Girgenti Resolution Would Encourage State Colleges And Universities To Increase Access For Service Members

TRENTON – A resolution sponsored by Senators Jim Beach and John A. Girgenti which would urge New Jersey’s institutions of higher education to seek membership in the Servicemembers Opportunity Consortium, which helps to provide educational opportunities to service members who, due to frequent relocation, have had trouble completing their college degrees was approved today by the Senate Education Committee.

“The goal of this measure is to give more servicepeople access to higher educational opportunities,” said Senator Beach, D-Camden. “Earning a college degree is challenging enough, but when coupled with the responsibility of serving in the military, and the reality of frequent relocations, some men and women in uniform have a hard time. By joining this Consortium, New Jersey’s institutions of higher learning would be helping to provide flexibility to these men and women who put their lives on the line protecting our safety.”

18 Aug: Smith-Gordon-Beach Bill To Authorize Open Space Bonding Signed Into Law

TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senate Environment Committee Chairman, Senator Bob Smith, and Committee members, Senators Bob Gordon and Jim Beach which will give voters in November the option to approve up to $400 million in open space borrowing was signed into law today by Governor Corzine.

“Simply put, New Jersey cannot afford the consequences if we fail to act to make an investment in open space preservation,” said Senator Smith, D-Middlesex and Somerset. “Allowing programs like Green Acres and farmland preservation to lapse would be a huge setback for open space preservation, and would open the doors for developers to pave over sensitive open space throughout the State. This bonding initiative provides necessary stop-gap funding for our various open space preservation programs, and buys us a little more time to develop a consensus around permanent funding for open space in New Jersey.”
