Trenton NJ, Board of Public Utilities President Joseph Fiordaliso at Wednesday’s post Isaias press conference : Thank you, Governor. Just as a matter of some comparison here, as the Governor mentioned, at the peak, we had 1.4 million people approximately without power, or customers. Sandy, Super Storm Sandy, at its peak, we had 1.7 million customers without power. Here’s a storm that just came through the entire state of New Jersey thank goodness at a more rapid pace than Sandy, but we still had devastating damage. And New Jersey was probably one of the hardest hit states from this particular storm. We are now down to, as the Governor mentioned, approximately 977,000 people without power. So we have – excuse me – almost 500,000 people who have been restored. Regionally, 3.5 million were without power in 14 states. New Jersey got literally whacked, and it really left its mark throughout the entire state. If you were to ask me what region of New Jersey was hit the hardest, I would have difficulty explaining or recognizing any particular area. The entire state was ravaged by this quick-moving storm.

Living with a disability is not always easy, but the process of applying for Social Security Disability is not particularly easy either. In fact, it can be a stressful and intimidating task, and sadly applying for SSD approval is a major concern in the lives of so many people. If you are unable to work, with no means of supporting yourself and your family, the last thing you want is to get tangled up in a complicated, time-consuming process to obtain the Social Security Disability benefits that you are entitled to.

“These kids are an embarrassment to themselves, our town and their parents.
So tired of these whiney teenage brats. Relatives of mine in Israel have always told me that terrible leftist politics and values as well and the lack of compulsory military service would lead to the inevitable rot and deterioration of American youths. Alas, they have a point.”

Hackensack NJ, The sun is shining, the number of people in New Jersey who are getting sick from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is declining and the beaches are open. Does this mean that the COVID-19 pandemic is over? Unfortunately, the answer is no: Nothing has caused an end to the pandemic, despite the nice weather and the lifting of certain restrictions, so it’s still necessary to take precautions.
“We are still very much in this fight against COVID-19, so now more than ever it’s important to continue to wear face masks, practice social distancing and wash hands regularly to minimize the spread of this novel coronavirus,” says Ken Sable, M.D., southern region president at Hackensack Meridian Health.

Fort Lee NJ, Port Authority of New York and Jersey Chairman Kevin O’Toole and Executive Director Rick Cotton called on the federal government to provide the Port Authority with $3 billion in direct financial assistance to avoid the devastating impact of sharp revenue losses to the agency’s critically important capital construction projects.

Trenton NJ, Senator Anthony M. Bucco, Senator Kristin Corrado, and Senator Joe Pennacchio said the Murphy Administration’s massive failures in protecting nursing homes, processing unemployment claims, and reopening Motor Vehicle Commission agencies must be investigated by the Legislature to ensure that fixes can be implemented as quickly as possible.
“It’s clear to everyone in New Jersey that the Murphy Administration has failed to properly protect nursing home residents, help unemployed workers, or plan for the MVC’s reopening,” said Bucco (R-25). “What’s not clear, however, is why the governor didn’t listen to the warnings raised by so many people or why he continues to refuse to enact the common-sense solutions we’ve proposed. It’s also not clear why Senate Democrats continue to delay the bipartisan investigation we were promised to help guide our efforts to fix lingering problems and prevent a recurrence of these critical failures.”
