In this video press release, Assemblymen Gary S. Schaer and Fred Scalera (both D-Bergen/Essex/Passaic) discuss their legislation to protect New Jersey taxpayers by enhancing the protections and oversight surrounding public investments in private redevelopment projects.
The measure (A-2650) was signed into law by Governor Jon S. Corzine during a public ceremony in North Arlington, one of three Bergen County municipalities most serious affected by the EnCap collapse and the first town to call for an investigation into the now-defunct project.
Schaer and Scalera crafted the legislation following the collapse of the EnCap Mixed-Use Redevelopment Project, which squandered more than $300 million in public money from the state and Bergen County in an attempt to transform abandoned municipal landfills in the Meadowlands into golf courses and luxury homes.

In this video press release, Assemblyman Gordon M. Johnson (D-Bergen) discusses his legislation to codify reforms implemented by the New Jersey State Police to end racial profiling and ensure continued state oversight.
The measure (A-3935) was ceremonially signed Thursday by Governor Jon S. Corzine at a luncheon during the 27th Annual New Jersey Black Issues Convention.
The new law establishes within the Attorney General's Office an office to assume the oversight and monitoring that has been performed by an independent monitoring team created as part of a 1999 consent decree entered into with the U.S. Department of Justice.

In this video press release, Assemblyman Wayne P. DeAngelo (D-Mercer) discusses his legislation (A-2844) to create a "Silver Alert" system in New Jersey to notify the public about missing persons who are believed to be suffering from dementia or other cognitive impairments.
The system - based on the state's successful "Amber Alert" system to recover missing or abducted children - would be a voluntary, cooperative effort between state and local law enforcement agencies and the broadcast media.
