Council Candidates are "Making Community Happen" in Cherry Hill.Camden County & South Jersey Democrats in the news:
Norcross and Moriarty propose ethics reform legislation
August 12, 2010 - 2:13pmBy Max Pizarro - POLITICKERNJ - August 12th, 2010
State Senator Donald Norcross (D-Camden) and Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D-Gloucester) say they have what amounts to the biggest crack down bill yet on deadbeat pols and hacks who abuse the system.
The pair of South Jersey lawmakers - the first running in a second election in November and the second up for re-election in a battleground district next year - say their legislation would eliminate or blunt government perks like luxury car stipends and housing allowances to personal drivers and government-issued credit cards. They promise strict new ethics standards, "such as a revolving-door policy banning officials from working with certain private employers for two years after leaving their government jobs."
Cherry Hill steps toward merging with Merchantville
August 11, 2010 - 1:21pmBy Max Pizarro- POLITICKERNJ- August 10th, 2010
Cherry Hill Township Council last night approved a resolution that creates a joint commission with Merchantville to study consolidation of the two towns.
A citizens group in Merchantville prompted the Cherry Hill Council to move toward a merger.
Bob Stocker of “Merchantville Connecting for the Future” submitted a petition to Cherry Hill’s governing body with more than 300 signatures, and the council subsequently moved the resolution.
“The story is much larger than these two towns,” said Gina Genovese, executive director of Courage to Connect New Jersey, a non-profit,
non-partisan group that encourages mass municipal consolidation. “This has never been done before in New Jersey.
Greenwald Still Pushing Homebuyer Tax Credit
August 11, 2010 - 1:15pmBy Kevin McArdle- NJ101.5 FM- August 11, 2010
In the spring, the full legislature in bi-partisan fashion passes a bill to create a homebuyers tax credit in New Jersey. Nearly three weeks ago, Governor Chris Christie vetoed the legislation. The measure's sponsor is hoping that a full explanation of how the credit would really work could lead to the possibility of a veto override.
In vetoing the Greenwald's bill and two others, Christie noted that the State of New Jersey continues to confront historic economic and fiscal crises and that these bills add $132 million in State spending that was not accounted for in the Budget nor envisioned as part of the bipartisan agreement on a spending plan. Christie wrote in the veto message to the Legislature, "state spending has been reset to levels the taxpayers can afford and supplemental spending that would return to the unchecked spending and out of control budget shortfalls of the past will not make it past the Governor's desk."
