Claire Gustafson To Challenge Norcross

Gustafson releases video announcing campaign for Congress

COLLINGSWOOD – Former Collingswood school board member Claire Gustafson announced today, via video, that she has entered the race to challenge Congressman Donald Norcross in New Jersey’s First Congressional District.

Gustafson announced on November 12th that she formed an exploratory committee “to gauge interest and support into a possible candidacy for Congress” and said today, “The exploring is done. I spent the past few weeks talking with friends, family and colleagues and am confident we will be able to raise the funds necessary to run an aggressive campaign against Congressman Norcross and the political machine that has a stranglehold on South Jersey.”

In her announcement video Gustafson makes it clear she is a pro-President Trump Republican saying, “I am unapologetically Republican and proudly stand with President Trump. I am a Republican because I believe in hard work, self-reliance, smaller government, the preservation of our Judeo-Christian values and the free-enterprise system that has made America the envy of the world.”

McKnight Bill Requires NJ Students to Learn Cursive

(TRENTON) – Elementary schools in New Jersey would be required to teach students how to read and write in cursive under legislation recently introduced by Assemblywoman Angela McKnight.

The bill (

A-6010

) would require elementary school curriculum to include activities and instructional materials to help students become proficient in reading and writing cursive by the end of third grade.

Research

suggests that learning to read and write in cursive benefits the development of cognitive, motor and literacy skills, and may help students with learning disabilities like

dyslexia

read and write with greater ease.

However, since cursive was dropped as a requirement under Common Core standards in 2010, many schools have opted not to include cursive in their curriculum.

“In some cases, children are entering middle school without knowing how to sign their own name in cursive,” said McKnight (D-Hudson). “We are doing our children a disservice by not teaching them a vital skill they will need for the rest of their lives.”

Nearly two dozen states have made efforts to reintroduce cursive in schools, including Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.

“Our world has indeed become increasingly dependent on technology, but how will our students ever know how to read a scripted font on a word document, or even sign the back of a check, if they never learn to read and write in cursive?” said McKnight. “This bill will ensure every young student in New Jersey will have this valuable skill to carry with them into adulthood.”

The legislation would apply to the first full school year following the date of enactment. It now heads to the Assembly Education Committee for review.

Burlington County Young Republicans Endorse Kate Gibbs for Congress

Mount Holly, New Jersey – The Burlington County Young Republicans (BCYR) announced their

endorsement of fellow millennial Kate Gibbs in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.

“Kate Gibbs is the leader South Jersey needs in Washington,” said Angelo Lamberto, Chairman of the

BCYR. “As one of the youngest women elected to countywide office, Kate is a trailblazer with a proven

record of cutting taxes, creating jobs, improving county infrastructure, and strengthening our schools.

With her real-world experience and expertise, Kate Gibbs is the best candidate for the job. We look

forward to working to ensure her victory.”

Kate Gibbs, a lifelong resident of the Garden State, is seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S.

House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.

The district stretches from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing both Burlington and

Ocean counties.

Gibbs previously served as the Director of the Burlington County Board of Freeholders. Holding a B.A.

from American University and an M.B.A. from Drexel University, Gibbs works to promote economic

development and job creation for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 825.

“I want Kate Gibbs to be our next Congresswoman and New Jersey’s first woman representative in South

Jersey,” said Abigail Orr, Treasurer of the BCYR. “We are frustrated with Andy Kim’s lack of leadership.

He continuously prioritizes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s radical platform over the needs of his

constituents, voting with her more than 90% of the time. Kate Gibbs will get New Jersey’s 3rd

Congressional District back on track.”

The Burlington County Young Republicans is a grassroots organization open to those 18-40 years of age

who work or reside in Burlington County, New Jersey.

Pennsylvania Included in Eight States with a Budget Deficit

By Dave Fidlin |

The Center Square

With expenses outpacing income, Pennsylvania is one of eight states across the country running a deficit within its government operations, according to a recent analysis.

Gloucestercitynews.net files

In its report, “

A Snapshot of Each State’s Financial Health

,” cost information website

HowMuch.net

examined the amount each state government is spending, compared to the amount coming in through taxes and other sources.

The analysis was based on 2017 figures – the same year the new U.S. tax code was enacted.

According to its analysis, gleaned from such sources as U.S. Census data, researchers concluded Pennsylvania’s state government expenses outpaced its revenues 0.63 percent, resulting in the deficit.

Per-capita expenses in 2017 hit $8,100, while revenue from the year clocked in $8,000, per capita.

Pennsylvania’s greatest expense, per capita, was under the category, “employees, supplies and service payments.” It represented more than half – $4,400 – of the state’s spending, per capita.

On the revenue side, the greatest contributor to Pennsylvania’s revenue, property taxes, made up $3,000 of the $8,000, per capita, of income that is funneled into the state’s operations.

Pennsylvania’s per-capita intake of taxes was above the national average, which hovered around $2,500. Vermont recorded the highest amount of taxes, per-capita, in income, at $5,000. On the low end, Alaska brought in $1,600.

Pennsylvania\’s budgetary practices have come under frequent criticism from the nonprofit Commonwealth Foundation, a free-market-oriented think tank, and from conservative lawmakers who have pushed for the passage of the Taxpayer Protection Act. The legislation would put strict limits on how much the state government can increase expenditures each year based on population growth and inflation.

\”The TPA controls government spending by limiting how quickly it can grow,\” the foundation\’s Tirzah Duren said

in a recent analysis

. \”It keeps spending growth in line with economic growth, freeing up revenues for paying down debt.\”

The

HowMuch.net

analysis comes at a time when deficit spending in the federal government reached a record – to the tune of $23 trillion.

In a statement within the report, author Juan Carlos said the review could play an important role in next year’s presidential election.

“With November 2020 on the horizon, questions about government debt, tax rates and the expansion of social programs will be at the forefront of national conversation,” Carlos wrote in the report.

Depending on a candidate’s platform, Carlos said in the report the outcome of next year’s election could impact states’ debt levels in the road ahead.

Most of Pennsylvania’s neighbors fared better in the How Much analysis. Only one other neighboring state – Delaware – spent more than it took in during the year under review.

Other states with budgetary deficits, according to the report, included Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Kentucky, Vermont and Wyoming.

Nevada led off the states notching the highest surpluses, according to the analysis, with 27.65 percent, followed by Hawaii, Idaho, North Carolina and, at 15.5 percent, New Hampshire.

Bordentown Physician Charged with Narcotics Distribution/Fraud

Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced today that narcotics distribution and fraud charges have been filed accusing a former physician of illegally prescribing thousands of highly- addictive opioid pills out of his Bordentown Township practice while simultaneously engaging in an unlawful medical billing

scheme.

Morris “Moishe” Starkman, 60, of Yellowstone Road in Cinnaminson, was charged with eight counts of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (Second Degree), four counts of Healthcare Claims Fraud (Second Degree) and two counts of Insurance Fraud (Second Degree).

He was taken into custody November 22 following the execution of a search warrant at his home during which multiple electronic devices were seized, along with business, financial and medical records. Starkman was released following a first appearance in Superior Court. The case is being prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.

The investigation determined that between January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2018, Starkman issued prescriptions through his Bordentown Family Practice for nearly 1,400,000 total doses of opioids, including Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet, Roxicodone, Endocet), Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco, Lorcet, Lortab), Oxymorphone (Opana), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid), morphine and fentanyl.

The eight patients outlined in the criminal charges filed against Starkman received 11 doses of opioids per day on average during that period. One patient alone was prescribed 17,460 doses, which equates to more than 15 per day. They each received anywhere from four to ten times the maximum dose recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.

The investigation revealed that Starkman would perform – at most – cursory examinations on patients before prescribing large amounts of opioids without medical justification, consideration of whether his patients were benefitting from the prescription painkillers he routinely and repeatedly prescribed, or exploration of the underlying causes for their pain.

Starkman maintained inadequate records on his patients which failed to document treatment plans for pain management or opioid use, or provide a legitimate medical purpose for prescribing such high quantities for an extended period of time. The reliance of his patients on the highly-addictive opioids he was prescribing insured they would frequently return to the practice for refills and be charged for an office visit.

“He was one of the top prescribers in New Jersey,” Prosecutor Coffina said. “The number of opioids he prescribed for the three-year period reviewed during the investigation was enough to provide in excess of three doses to every man, woman and child residing in Burlington County.

“It is well documented that prescription opioids lay at the origin of the devastating drug use epidemic we are experiencing today. Around 80% of heroin users started with prescription drugs. Physicians who have abandoned their medical judgment and indiscriminately prescribed opioids to patients they knew or should have known were becoming addicted to them must be held accountable for their role in this ongoing health crisis.”

The investigation also revealed that Starkman, during that same time, submitted fraudulent health care claims to insurance companies for over $50,000 for services that were unauthorized, not eligible for reimbursement, not provided as represented or not rendered.

Starkman first came to the attention of law enforcement officials in late 2016 after an insurance company contacted authorities with a suspicion of illegal activity at his practice due to the high volume of opioid prescriptions he was writing.

The State Board of Medical Examiners temporarily suspended Starkman’s license in August 2017. Under a consent order reached in April 2018, Starkman agreed to permanently surrender his license to practice medicine in New Jersey.

Records seized from Starkman’s practice revealed that one of his patients fatally overdosed in May 2015, two months after his last visit to the Bordentown office.

The records indicated that during a visit in December 2014, Starkman continued to prescribe Oxycontin to the patient, despite noting that he was “slurring and falling asleep” during the visit. The following month, when the patient visited the office because he was “sick” and “ran out of all meds early again,” Starkman wrote him a prescription for a higher dosage of Oxycodone. During the patient’s final visit in March 2015, Starkman prescribed him 120 additional Oxycodone pills, despite noting that three days earlier he had been discharged from week-long stay at a mental health and addiction treatment facility where he had sought help for anxiety and panic attacks.

Due to insufficient evidence connecting his prescriptions to the patient’s fatal overdose, Starkman was not criminally charged in connection with the patient’s death.

Starkman will be prosecuted by Michael Angermeier, Supervisor of the BCPO Gang, Gun and Narcotics Task Force, Josh Dennis, Supervisor of the Insurance Fraud Unit, and First Assistant Prosecutor Philip S. Aronow.

The case was investigated by the BCPO Gang, Gun and Narcotics Task Force and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Diversion Control Division, with assistance from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Enforcement Bureau, the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield Special Investigations, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
