Says System Should be Opt-In Not Opt-Out

Hackensack NJ, BCRO Chairman Jack Zisa is calling on Gov. Murphy’s administration to explain the state’s convoluted vote by mail system that is confusing many voters throughout the state since its inception last year. The chairman also said the vote by mail system needs to be changed.

“Before we go through another General Election without a clear understanding of the vote by mail rules, I believe it is urgent for Gov. Murphy’s administration to clearly explain how the VBM will work this year and what election workers, and campaign officials and voters should know,” said Zisa. “It’s the governor’s legislation and it’s been confusing since it was signed.

State of New Jersey will Now reimburse County Prosecutors for State and Interstate Law Enforcement Investigations

Bergen County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad Unit

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Hackensack NJ, After passing the legislature unanimously, Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill reimbursing county prosecutors overseeing state and interstate law enforcement agencies. The law, sponsored by Assemblyman Kevin Rooney, was drafted after the Bergen County Prosecutors Office had to investigate the Palisades Parkway Police Department over eight months.

“Local taxpayers cannot afford to fund investigations into state agencies,” said Rooney (R-Bergen). “Prosecutor’s work on tight budgets, and they need to be responsible with every dollar. If a state agency is acting out of order, the state should be on the hook.”

Bergen prosecutors had to examine the Palisades department for violating guidelines on high-speed chases and investigations of officer misconduct. The office also examined deaths of suspects and a scandal involving the police chief. The bill is retroactive to January 1, 2017 to cover the costs of the investigation.
