Reading @Trentonian news on indictment of Trenton's Martin Moore. Always push for answers from government, especially when @gusciora's thuggish security guard puts his hands on reporter to restrain him from getting answers the public should know.
I can’t wait for the first debate. Tapper: What should we do about the mental health crisis? Harris: Joe Biden and I put $46.8 Million in Behavioral Health Funding. Trump: The Late Great Hannibal Lecter. He loved to have you for dinner. Has anyone seen Silence Of The Lambs?
President Biden is a patriot who has served our country honorably in the Senate, as Vice President, and as one of the most consequential presidents in modern history. President Biden has gotten an incredible amount done to move our country forward, defend our democracy, and…
Wow. @GovMurphy making NJ less transparent is now your legacy.
Breaking: NJ's @GovMurphy signed a bill that severely undermines OPRA, the state's public records law. Via @politico: politi.co/3Ve54Cs In March, @rcfp explained how the changes can weaken government oversight and undercut accountability reporting. rcfp.org/briefs-comment…
Asking politicians if they want OPRA to have teeth is like asking a teenager if they want a curfew--of course most don't. Involving the public in governing comes with accountability, questions, criticism, etc. But it's OUR govt and we deserve to be involved & see what it's up to
A look at the Rogue's Gallery of Nj mayors who are urging @GovMurphy to sign the gestapo-insired "reform" of NJ public records law. A tip of the hat to @CJGriffinEsq, the atty/hero pressing for transparency. nj.com/opinion/2024/0…
Hey @GovMurphy, Today is a good day to 🅅🄴🅃🄾 the horrible, no good, rotten bill that guts OPRA! #SaveOPRA #VetoS2930

The NJ OPRA battle continues. @NJCitizenAction pledges to stand with @GovMurphy if the Dems in his own party who advanced the changes try to take it out on his agenda. njcitizenaction.org/njca_urges_gov… It is budget season... #Democracyneedstransparency
Hey look, you can also text and ask the Gov to veto the bill OPRA!
.@StevenFulop and @rasjbaraka are particularly important voices here, since we have been led to believe New Jersey mayors support the bill. @GovMurphy, if not them, who?
Gov. Murphy should veto public records bill, say mayors of N.J.’s two biggest cities — "OPRA may need some change but this is not it," said Newark Mayor Ras Baraka newjerseymonitor.com/2024/05/22/gov… via @snietomunoz
These “gut-OPRA” bills are bad for New Jersey and bad for #democracy. @GovMurphy: VETO S2930/A4045
Despite overwhelming public outcry, the NJ Legislature passed legislation to gut OPRA. Now it's up to @GovMurphy to #ProtectOPRA. Call the Governor at 609-292-6000 and ask him to veto S2930/A4045.
NEW: Nearly 100 organizations from across NJ, including labor unions, social and racial justice groups, and pro-democracy advocates call for @GovMurphy to veto a bill that decimates the OPRA law. Read the full letter ⬇️
It’s ironic that these lawmakers come from the party that talks about “small government” & “law and order,” yet they voted for a bill that makes it significantly harder for the public to see how our $ is spent. And they are doing so bc a bunch of lawbreaking agencies complained
There's an Op-Ed on Save NJ by two Assemblymembers about "OPRA abuse," rebutted here w/o linking. This propaganda is so easily debunked, which is why the only way they can get it in print is via an op-ed. It's hard to believe they're still out there spewing this stuff
We're still calling @GovMurphy to urge him to veto this bill. It's nothing more than a cloak of secrecy for public officials and a perversion of our state OPRA law. Many legislators who advanced this billl hold local public jobs and have a conflict of interest.
OPRA *is* a cost-saving law. Transparency allows us to see how our dollars are spent, and to weigh in. It curbs corruption and waste If you want to save money, tell agencies to comply with the law so there will be no lawsuits. And, expand OPRA so we can monitor even more

Casual reminder that the overwhelming majority of OPRA requests are for property records--people purchasing homes (i.e. future property tax payers) who need to check for open permits, violations, etc Put those online & you cut OPRA requests by 50%+--no need to gut transparency!
My old paper @Trentonian wrote OPRA's obit. But there's still time for @GovMurphy to raise the state's "Sunshine" law from the dead. trentonian.com/2024/05/24/edi…
