TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senator Wayne R. Bryant which would put greater emphasis on cleaning up graffiti in New Jersey’s municipalities was approved by the Senate today by a vote of 34-4.
“In many of our poorer communities, struggling to rebuild from the ashes of economic ruin, graffiti remains as a testament to the hardships that remain,” said Senator Bryant, D-Camden. “As the author of the Camden Revitalization Act, I know that areas with a high prevalence of graffiti have a tougher time attracting redevelopers and private investors. We all need to do our part, to clean up our cities and put them on the right track to redevelopment and revitalization.”
TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senator Ronald L. Rice, to allow individuals engaged in military service for more than 90 days to cancel leases of personal property without penalty, received final legislative approval today in the Assembly.
“With rising tension in foreign countries, we must realize that our servicemen and women are going to be called on to continue to serve our country,” said Senator Rice, D-Essex. “Many have entered into ‘rent-to-own’ contracts for household goods such as furniture, appliances and computers. This bill helps them get out of these contracts for items they can’t use while serving the United States abroad.”
