Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson released a statement about A1715, known as the “John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act of New Jersey” after its advancement in today’s Assembly Appropriations Committee.
“The most fundamental right in a democracy is the right to vote. It is the cornerstone of our civic process, and since the founding of our nation, we have worked to uphold and expand that right for every eligible citizen.
Continue reading “Statement by Assemblywoman Reynolds-Jackson”Just 12 miles from bustling Midtown Manhattan, beyond the flow of the Hudson and hidden away from the sprawling terminals of New York’s commercial airports, sits a 100-year-old airport that quietly gets on with business. Surprisingly, this airport is the engine that powers business in New York: Teterboro Airport.
This isn’t where you come to catch your flight to a family vacation or hop onto a cross-country route. There are no commercial terminals here and no accompanying TSA lines snaking the length of city blocks, no overloaded departure boards…not at this airport. Teterboro has become a hub for private air travel: both those who wish to book private jet travel and those who own their own private aircraft move through its halls on a daily basis. This now antique airport is the undisputed hub of private aviation in the entire Northeastern part of the United States. The question is, how did this come to be?

Newswise — For years, pediatricians have faced a growing dilemma. Families increasingly turn to primary care for help with mental health concerns, yet many pediatricians feel underprepared, and child psychiatrists remain in short supply.
More than a decade ago, University of Michigan Health tried a different approach: bringing child psychiatry directly into the pediatric medical home and embedding it into pediatric resident training.
The result was the Pediatric Psychiatry Colocalized Consult Clinic, or P2C3, a model designed to improve access to care while training future pediatricians to manage common mental health conditions.
Newly reported outcomes from the clinic, published in the journal Psychiatric Services, show the approach worked. The program proved durable, scalable and beneficial for both patients and pediatric physicians.

Homemaking is surely the most important work in the world. It’s the art of making a house a home. The starting place of love, hope, and dreams. Where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends. To the world, Brenda A. Thomas (nee Hancock) was a wife, mother, and homemaker, all while working full-time for most of her life. But to her family, she was their world. She loved to cook, and meals were always ready for her family. Brenda was a doting wife, mother, and “Nanny” who enjoyed baseball… cheering on the “Phightin Phils”… especially JT, crocheting, casino trips, and summers in Stone Harbor.

(TRENTON) — For many job seekers, applying to a position only to never hear back, or learning the job was never truly open, has become an all-too-common experience in today’s competitive job market. Recognizing that frustration, the Assembly Labor Committee today advanced legislation to require employers or a third-party job posting company to clarify in job postings whether the posting is for existing position or for an anticipated vacancy. The bill would also require an employer or third-party job posting company to remove a job posting when a position has been filled within two weeks after the position being filled or within 30 days after the original posting, whichever is later.
The bill, A1161, sponsored by Assemblyman Joe Danielsen and Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, seeks to make sure that advertised positions reflect real opportunities for New Jersey workers.
