09 Jan: Final Legislative Approval Granted To Turner Measure To Curb Telemarketer Deception

TRENTON – The Senate gave unanimous approval to legislation today sponsored by Senator Shirley K. Turner that would prohibit telemarketers from using technology to disguise their identity.

TRENTON – Senator Sharpe James, Vice Chair of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, today called Governor Codey’s budget proposal a “breath of fresh air” because it would be a billion dollar reduction over last year’s State spending plan.

“Governor Codey is asking everyone to share some of the pain during these tough fiscal times,” said Senator James, D-Essex. “By reducing the size of the State workforce through attrition and suspending the New Jersey Saver program for non-seniors, he is asking all of us to sacrifice and help the State live within its means.”
