Almost five months without a homicide, the CCPD continues to make progress
(Camden, NJ) – As flowers begin to bloom and the temperatures start to rise, the Camden County Police Department has hit another unprecedented high point in its quest to reduce crime in the city. For the first time since the 1970s, the city recorded zero homicides for the official start and finish of the winter months. This milestone reflects the sustained decline in violent crime throughout the city, and underscores the historic reduction in crime achieved since Camden was once considered one of the most dangerous municipalities in the nation prior to May 1, 2013.

Congressman Van Drew released the following statement regarding the ongoing partial shutdown.
“This has gone on long enough,” said Congressman Van Drew. “The people paying the price right now are the ones showing up every day to do their jobs: TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and others who keep this country running. They are doing everything we ask of them, day in and day out, and they are not being paid for it. It is not right. And that is exactly why Members of Congress should not be paid during a shutdown. If these workers are going without, then we should be going without too. We should be feeling that same pain until this gets fixed. That is why I am sponsoring a bill to ensure that while the government shuts down, Members of Congress do not receive their pay. The Constitution sets clear rules on congressional pay, so this has to be done the right way, but there is a path to make sure Members do not take home a paycheck while the job is not done. Maybe then they will think twice before using people’s livelihoods as leverage in a political fight.”
Commissioner Jennifer Cooley Fleisher will join educators, advocates, and local leaders, today at Rowan University – Chamberlain Student Center, 183 Rowan Blvd, Glassboro, at 10 a.m. for the Camden County YOUth Influencer Summit at Rowan University.

Speight and Sampson bill would allow workers to take protected leave to grieve miscarriage, stillbirth, fertility treatment loss, or unsuccessful adoption
(TRENTON) – Legislation that would provide New Jersey workers with protected leave to grieve the loss of a child or pregnancy cleared the Assembly Labor Committee on Monday. Bill A2198, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shanique Speight and Assemblyman William Sampson, would expand the New Jersey Family Leave Act to allow employees to take family leave following the death of a child, miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons. The bill would also cover leave following an unsuccessful adoption or fertility treatment, including procedures such as intrauterine insemination or assisted reproductive technology.

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (May 19, 2022)–I don’t try to hide my disappointment in America’s public education and never will apologize for wanting today’s kids to have the high-quality education we had decades ago. That being said, I also try to be fair and congratulate those who make changes in the right direction. This week I read that “trades” will be
Reintroduced to Gloucester City schools. A sincere thank you to those who made this happen.
I read so many Facebook posts from the boys of the 1960s discussing their woodshop or metal shop adventures and telling what they made. Girls took sewing and cooking classes. Because I took sewing classes I made all my own clothes through high school and college plus bridesmaid’s dresses and more. There is so much value to these classes. We learned how to make something. We learned to take pride in what we made.
