“Homeless shelters, schools, hospitals and even arts centers all play a crucial role in building prosperous communities.

I am extremely proud of the bipartisan legislative work that went into securing these important investments.”

“Senator Menendez, like every American, is entitled to the presumption of innocence and a fair and speedy trial. However, given the very disturbing nature of this indictment, Senator Menendez should resign from his United States Senate seat in Washington,” said Bucco (R-25). “Elected officials must be held to the highest of standards and have the confidence of the people they represent. The allegations are very disturbing, and the Senator has yet to offer any explanation of how he received so much cash and gold bars, and he has not denied improperly disclosing sensitive U.S. information to a foreign government. At this point, having been stripped of his leadership duties, he cannot effectively represent the residents of the State. For that reason, he should resign immediately.”

Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco said Governor Murphy and Trenton Democrats are steering New Jersey off course in response to a new poll that shows New Jerseyans are feeling worse about their quality of life.

“The extreme far-left policies of the Murphy administration and Trenton Democrats are clearly having a negative impact on quality-of-life issues for New Jerseyans. Car thefts, smash and grabs, and burglaries are a direct result of this administration’s soft-on-crime approach,” said Bucco (R-25). “From school funding cuts to costly utility rates to radical energy mandates for electric vehicles, the cost of living in New Jersey is being driven higher than ever before. Not to mention this administration’s vehement opposition to parental rights. It is abundantly clear that Democrats are not prioritizing the needs or safety of New Jersey residents with their approach.”

“It is beyond ridiculous that the Attorney General is seeking attorney’s fees in a lawsuit against the Hanover School Board over a policy that wasn’t even mandatory to implement in the first place. The Attorney General should have notified the school boards of the non-mandatory aspect of the policy before even initiating the lawsuits. It’s bad enough that the Murphy administration supported these lawsuits after cutting State aid for more than a hundred school districts throughout the State. Schools have it hard enough and should not be faced with these bullying tactics. These lawsuits are doing more to hurt kids’ education than to protect them.”

“I’m very excited to attend this event sponsored by the Sisters 1st, Villa Walsh Academy’s FIRST Robotics Competition Team. This is a fantastic opportunity for seventh and eighth grade students from around the Morristown area to learn about aviation and the United States Air Force,” said Bucco (R-25). “The six virtual reality aviation experiences will give students an opportunity to fly unique aircraft while using certified Air Force equipment. It is truly remarkable how far technology has advanced that opportunities like this can be provided to young students. This is a great way for women who have an interest in aviation to get a hands on experience with real flight simulators.”

“It is deeply troubling that Governor Murphy is doubling down on his unpopular and extreme energy master plan. Christine’s predetermined views on New Jersey’s energy policies are a red flag for anyone paying attention to the rising cost of energy,” Bucco said (R-25). “She is an architect of the extreme 2019 energy master plan and spearheaded much of the Murphy agenda on energy. New Jersey cannot afford to be doubling down on Governor Murphy’s misguided energy priorities with a rubber stamp at the BPU.”

“Secretary of State Tahesha Way has an impeccable record of public service and I welcome the news of her being sworn into her new role as Lieutenant Governor. Although she has big shoes to fill, the decades of experience that she has serving as Secretary of State, an administrative law judge, and former Passaic County Commissioner speaks to her dedication and commitment to the people of New Jersey. Like her predecessor, the late Sheila Oliver, Tahesha is a trailblazer for women. I’m confident she will do great work for the people of New Jersey as Lieutenant Governor.”

“I am saddened to hear about the passing of the Board of Public Utilities President Joe Fiordaliso. Joe’s public service began in the late 1980’s and his dedication to making New Jersey a better place never wavered. Whether he was serving on the Livingston Council, directing Planning and Development for Essex County, or helping provide resources after natural disasters, his decades worth of experience and knowledge made him a stalwart public servant. There is no question that New Jersey is a much better place thanks to Joe’s hard work over the years. He will be sorely missed.”

“Orsted’s recent announcement makes it abundantly clear that the offshore wind projects were rushed based on political talking points. Not only did Governor Murphy disregard concerns about the environmental impact of offshore wind surveys, but he also showed no concern about the practical costs of implementing the project long-term. Orsted’s announcement is another red flag that the Governor’s extreme energy master plan is misguided, and taxpayers will pay the price for his poor judgement.”
