Sweeney touts Democrats new business-friendly attitude
New Jersey legislators are working to make the state more business friendly and create jobs, State Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney (D-Gloucester) said on Wednesday.
“We are headed in the right direction and it’s being done in a bipartisan effort,” Sweeney said. “We can’t afford to fight. Our unemployment rate is still above the national average. Our responsibility is to create opportunities.”
Sweeney was the keynote speaker at the New Jersey chapter of the NAIOP’s annual public policy symposium at the Hilton East Brunswick Hotel and Executive Meeting Center. About 140 people from the commercial real estate industry attended. (Loyer, Gannett)
