Trenton NJ, According to a new statewide survey released today, 57% of New Jersey voters want gyms and fitness centers to reopen, with strict safety protocols in place. In fact, after voters hear the specific safety precautions that those venues will follow, as well as other factors, support for reopening gyms grew to 69%.

The survey, conducted on behalf of the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey, found that the most compelling argument to reopen gyms is when comparing them to other establishments that have already reopened. More than seven-in-ten (71%) are more likely to support reopening gyms after learning that New Jersey has already allowed casinos, amusement parks, and museums to reopen, and that gyms have five times more square footage per person than establishments like cycling studios and hair salons that have also been allowed to reopen.

Reader asks , “how many young people in town are being “recruited” by NJ Democratic Socialists of America”

“In reading the tag lines for this article I noticed “Ridgewood For Black Liberation” which prompted me to visit their Facebook page. There I saw a video of the entire protest march and a still photo with a comment, “Thank you comrades for your support”. “Soladarity forever”. This posting came from The Central NJ Democratic Socialists of America, so it begs the question just how many Ridgewood residents are involved in these protest marches, and how many young people in town are being “recruited” by the DSA to carry forth their agenda. If this is an ongoing thing, today Ridgewood, tomorrow the rest of Bergen County.”
