Happy #EarthWeek2024! Let’s celebrate by supporting sustainable transportation options, not restricting them. Don’t let NJ lawmakers stop our environmental progress - say no to NJ Bill S2292/A3359 that will make it harder and more expensive for New Jerseyans to ride e-bikes.
It’s Earth Week! That means it’s time to call out this terrible bill that would criminalize e-bike owners & make it harder to reach our sustainable transpo goals. We’re telling @SenPresScutari & @SpeakerCoughlin to stop this bad bill & support bike/walk infrastructure instead!
NJ lawmakers have raided over $2 billion from the Clean Energy Fund. That money should be going towards clean energy--including electrifying NJ Transit's bus fleets. nj.com/opinion/2024/0…
Public transit is the backbone of the economy, writes @SenatorLorettaW in a new op-ed. "New Jersey and its commuters deserve a world-class transit system. Asking the world’s biggest corporations to help pay for it is a no-brainer." northjersey.com/story/opinion/…
Remember when the business lobby said the sky would fall with a $15 min. wage? What about earned sick days? Or the corporate surcharge? All they want is to maximize profits and pay as little as possible in wages and taxes. It’s pure self interest and ideology.

A must-read piece from @NJPolicy: No Matter What You Call Them, Private School Vouchers are Bad for New Jersey njpp.org/publications/b…
Blackthorne:Corporate profits as a % of GDP have grown exponentially while their share of govt revenues declined. All while wages stagnate for decades! And now these scoundrels get mad about not getting a tax cut? Mariko: The Anjin says big business should pay their fair share
Thank you @SenatorLorettaW, we agree! "New Jersey and its commuters deserve a world-class transit system. Asking the world’s biggest corporations to help pay for it is a no-brainer." northjersey.com/story/opinion/…
Corporations only care about profits, not what's best for New Jersey. “It’s not a surprise that big businesses don’t want to pay their fair share, but it’s tone-deaf to say this a week after families paid their taxes,” said @erockbenson of @ForTheManyNJ. northjersey.com/story/news/tra…
Could this be the year that NJ Transit finally gets a dedicated source of state funding? Let’s talk about it — and more — at happy hour, featuring special guest Asw. Shama Haider! Register now and join us May 16 in Trenton: njpp.org/event/budget-b…
New Jersey can stick it to congestion pricing by giving commuters a reliable alternative to driving into the city. "The best thing New Jersey can do is not to fight them in court, but to fully fund NJ transit for the first time ever," said @alexfromNJ. newjersey.news12.com/mta-ceo-says-n…

My latest for @NJPolicy No Matter What You Call Them, Private School Vouchers Are Bad for New Jersey njpp.org/publications/b… Quick summary: there's a bill before the legislature now to start a "tax credit scholarship" program." It's a bad idea: 1/
There's a lot of misinformation out there about immigrants. The data tells a different story. “New immigrants are quickly entering the workforce, providing for themselves and strengthening the economic vitality of their communities,” said @MarleinaU. northjersey.com/story/news/202…
Welcoming immigrants, treating them with dignity, respecting their journeys and upholding their human rights is the just, moral thing to do. Turns out, as we have always known, it's also sound economic policy. (1/2) njpp.org/publications/r…
For #TaxDay, I wrote this op-ed on how giant profitable corporations manipulate the tax system to pay lower rates than typical taxpayers. The Corporate Transit Fee is just a small step towards getting Big Business to pay what they owe NJ. newjerseyglobe.com/taxes/opinion-…
We routinely hear from lawmakers that they can't say the word "immigrant" for fear of alienating voters. But in NJ, immigrants are the driving force behind economic, population and labor force growth. Holding back immigrants from basic services hurts us all
