Ridgewood NJ, Village of Ridgewood Mayor Ramon Hache statement on
the ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags :

“Two weeks ago, we introduced an ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags in the Village. This is a very important step in protecting the environment and would not have been possible without the collaboration between the Village Council, the Ridgewood Environmental Advisory Committee and Green Team. A special thank you to Councilman Sedon as Council liaison to these committees. 
Although the ban will be adopted this summer, it will not go into effect until January 1, 2020. Over the next 6 months, we will have an educational and public awareness campaign to engage with our community and educate residents.”

New Jersey Fireman’s Association Comments on Murphy Administrations Attempt to Divert Funds

PFANJ Statement on Proposed $33M Fund Diversion from New Jersey State Fireman’s Association

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

As reported in NJ.com () on May 5, 2019, it appears that the Governor’s proposed budget for 2020 calls for $33 million to be siphoned from the New Jersey Fireman’s Association. This fund was established in 1885 to assist active and retired firefighters – paid or volunteer – during times of financial hardship or tragedy.

The State’s reasoning is that the fund is healthy and will still have plenty of money after the $33 million is removed. Respectfully, we all know how that worked out back in the 1990’s when the State siphoned money from the Police and Fire Retirement System!

We cannot let history repeat itself.

The State of New Jersey should learn from their prior mistakes – mistakes the pension fund (PFRS) are still suffering from today.

Dominick Marino
President
Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey
