Thanks to your calls, A2595 sponsored by Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein (D-14), was discussed before the Assembly Judiciary Committee today but held without a vote.

A2595 is a blatant attempt by entrenched New Jersey Politicians to strong arm citizens who oppose their re-election. If passed, A2595 would mandate that any \”issue advocacy organization\” classified under IRS Code as a 501(C) (3), 501 (C) (4) or 527 that engages in the election or defeat of any person to State or local elective office; the passage or defeat of any public question; or that provides political information on any candidate, must submit the names and addresses of contributors and their employers to the Election Law Enforcement Commission.

The NRA will continue to watch this bill and work to ensure that our members privacy and right to participate within the legislative and political process without the threat of retaliation is protected.

Janet is the loving, caring, immensely strong and devoted mother to her only child, Janet. Because her husband died when their daughter was so young, Janet was also a father as well. Over the years, Janet and Janet became friends, and most recently, roles were reversed with mother becoming daughter, and vise-versa. Despite recent health issues, Mom was \’one tough cookie\’, and only allowed herself to pass on when given permission by her daughter.

Beloved wife of the late Elwood Howard Mount \’Jr.\’; loving mother of Janet Ulrich and \’adopted daughter\’ Robyn Rowe and her family; adoring grandmother of Tyler Cody \’Tylie\’; dear sister of Margaret, Rena (Bill) and the late Clair; loving aunt of Renee, Kathy (Charlie), Jenny (Geek), Brenda, Billy, and the late Baldy; devoted daughter-in-law of the late Mom-Mom Mount; adoring owner of Gizmo, the late Snoopy, and many other animals over the years.

Last week the reporters for the two dailies highlighted the ongoing discord in their articles between the City and members of the fire department.

Representatives from both sides met on Friday. Asked whether any progress was made at the meeting, Mayor Bill James said, \”No. We are continuing to talk, which is a good thing.\” James added that the union is sticking to its demands for a pay raise. James said the union reps were told that layoffs could be avoided if they were willing to help the city make up the money by conceding salary increases, holiday pay or other perks.

According to a union representative a pay raise is not the issue. The firefighter, who did not want his name used, said, \”We are not asking for a increase in pay. Eventually this will all come out\”. Asked what then was the sticking point that is keeping the contract from being signed? He said, \”I can\’t discuss the problem until an agreement is reached.\”
