17 Mar: Madden-Van Drew Bill To Improve Safety At Stop Intersections Moves Through Senate

MADDEN-VAN DREW BILL TO IMPROVE SAFETY AT STOP INTERSECTIONS MOVES THROUGH SENATE

TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Fred Madden and Jeff Van Drew which would require all vehicles to come to a complete stop at a stop sign before proceeding through the intersection was approved by the Senate today by a vote of 33-5.

” We need to make sure everyone is following the same rules of the road,” said Senator Madden, D-Camden and Gloucester. “Allowing a full line of cars to move through a stop sign rather than having them each stop before entering the intersection is dangerous, especially since most drivers don’t realize that this is something that other cars can do legally.”

06 Mar: Van Drew Calls For Federal Disclosure Of Outsourcing Companies

TRENTON – A resolution sponsored by Senator Jeff Van Drew which would call on Congress to enact legislation requiring the publication of a list of companies which are engaged in outsourcing United States jobs to other countries was unanimously approved by the Senate Labor Committee today.

“Congress has an obligation to drag the practice of outsourcing American jobs into the light of day, not just for the workers who’ve been outsourced, but for potential investors in the companies engaged in outsourcing,” said Senator Van Drew, D-Cape May and Cumberland. “Many investors might back off of a company with a record of sending U.S. jobs overseas for a quick buck. By publishing a list of companies which are outsourcing jobs, we can bring the pressure of the market to bear to end greedy corporate practices which undercut the American economy.”

21 Feb: Whelan: Casinos, Other Revenue Producers Merit ‘Essential’ Workers

TRENTON –Senator Jim Whelan today said he believes the best way to keep Atlantic City casinos open in the event of another government shutdown is to classify State workers who oversee “revenue producing activities” as essential employees who must be kept on their jobs through State emergencies.

“Obviously, the casinos provide vital programs for seniors and the disabled with the $450 million they provide each year to the Casino Revenue Fund,” said Senator Whelan, Chairman of the Senate Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee. “But I agree the State workers who oversee and regulate the State Lottery and the racetracks also should be considered essential because those activities are revenue producers too.”

24 Jan: Van Drew Measure To Review Property Revaluation Procedures Moves Forward

TRENTON – The Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee unanimously approved legislation today sponsored by Senator Jeff Van Drew that would create the “Real Property Revaluation Review Commission.”

We need to find a more taxpayer-friendly process that would ease this transition over a period of time.”
