Murphy ticks says to help you assault drama that ‘transcends cluster lines’ once the governors gather into the A.,” by NJ Advance Media’s Brent Johnson and Adam Clark: “With nearly two dozen of his fellow governors from across the country gathered in Atlantic City, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday unveiled a playbook that states can use to combat what experts say is a dangerous mental health crisis among young people in the U.S. ‘This topic transcends party lines,’ Murphy said in a speech during the opening session of the annual meeting of the National Governors Association, which he chairs, at the Hard Rock hotel and casino … The plan has four pillars: building prevention and resilience; increasing awareness and reducing stigma; access and affordability of quality treatment and care; and caregiver and educator training and support.”
WINDMILLS OF THE GROUND – “Turbulence since state company denies solar power projects,” by NJ Spotlight News’ Tom Johnson: “It wasn’t a good day Wednesday for advancing clean-energy goals at the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. The state agency rejected proposed solar projects that would have generated more than 300 megawatts of electricity and it postponed action on a much-touted plan to begin electrifying buildings, the second-biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in New Jersey. The twin setbacks marked the latest turbulence encountered by the Murphy administration in aggressively pushing its goal to shift to a 100% clean-energy economy, an issue now facing the most sustained opposition of Gov. Phil Murphy’s first six years in office.”

SWITCHORELLO – “N.J. mayor ditches decide to difficulties powerful Senator, leaps toward race for Republican’s Household seat,” by NJ Advance Media’s Brent Johnson: “A few months ago, Roselle Park Mayor Joe Signorello III declared he would challenge U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez in next year’s Democratic primary. But Signorello announced Thursday he is now dropping that plan and switching races, entering one of the most closely watched U.S. House contests in the country instead – for freshman Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s seat … The 35-year-old small-town mayor will be the second candidate to join the Kolumbijska djevojke za brak pri Democratic nomination to challenge Kean for the seat he flipped last year in New Jersey’s battleground 7th district. The first was Sue Altman, a progressive activist who announced her candidacy in May with the support of top Democratic figures in the state … At least one other Democrat has considered entering the race: former state Sen. Ray Lesniak of Union County, who has said he will make a decision after this November’s elections. Signorello’s announcement Thursday included a quote from Lesniak saying ‘I welcome Joe Signorello’s entry’ into the primary. Lesniak added that some of Altman’s stances would ‘hand over the election to Kean and hurt Democrats up and down the district.’”

ENEMY AT THE GAETZ – “Van Drew ballots having modification cutting-off help so you’re able to Ukraine,” by New Jersey Globe’s Joey Fox: “An amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) cutting off all military assistance to Ukraine failed overwhelmingly today, but it picked up one vote from a New Jersey congressman: Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Dennis). The amendment, which says in one simple sentence that ‘no Federal funds may be made available to provide security assistance to Ukraine,’ was authored by Rep. Matt Gaetz, a famously right-wing Republican from Florida … The amendment failed on a vote of 70-358, and a related amendment striking Ukraine funding from the NDAA specifically failed on a similar vote of 89-341. In both cases, all of the no votes came from Republicans, and most of them from the rightmost side of the party like the House Freedom Caucus.”
