Trenton NJ, Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order on Wednesday reversing his previous orders that closed state and county parks and golf courses, which can reopen at sunrise on Saturday. But the governor said that social distancing requirements would continue to be in effect.
Assemblyman Erik Peterson (R-23rd) plans to introduce legislation next month that would allow non-essential businesses shuttered by Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order to reopen providing they comply with safety protocols.
Peterson’s proposal comes as a national debate has started about when is the right time to relax the restrictions imposed by governors to contain the spread of the coronavirus. The debate focuses on the priority between the economy and public health.
“We need to make decisions based on science and common sense and not fearmongering,” said Peterson, whose district stretches from South Bound Brook to the Delaware River. “If we do not immediately begin to re-start our economy, the economic toll of Gov. Murphy’s never-ending no-risk approach will be more devastating on the health and welfare of New Jersey residents than the coronavirus.”
Peterson is scheduled to introduce the “Healthy Citizens and Healthy Business Act” on May 4.
Good.
Yes it’s good people need to get out of the house. Walking there getting fat. Just keep your distance and wash your hands. And stop Throw in your garbage in the woods.
