Back to Business at Lakewood Township Committee

 It was back to business as usual at the monthly 10 minute virtual township committee meeting with the township raising some taxes on the budget  and vacating streets. Committee members sat silently throughout and didn't address any of the issues or make any comments to the public.

At the public comment section several residents emailed the committee about issues around town

The rent control board  that was demolished 8 years ago came up again following the litigation of Prime Apts.

Tuition Relief Bill Gets Pulled

The "don't call it a voucher bill!" school voucher bill appears dead, at least for now, after its top sponsor  vin Gopal withdrew it Monday. 

Politico reports: Controversial legislation to channel public money to private schools appears dead, at least for now, after its top Senate sponsor withdrew it from consideration.

State Sen. Vin Gopal, a Monmouth County Democrat, withdrew the bill, NJ S3035 (24R), on Monday — a relatively rare move that demonstrates how politically fraught the topic is.

“There were concerns from stakeholders. So out of respect for continued collaboration, I withdrew the bill,” Gopal said in a phone interview. “I believe New Jersey has a strong partnership between public and non-public schools, and I thought this was a conversation worth having. There might be a better way to have this conversation without actually having legislation out there.”

Assemblyman Avi Schnall campaigned on this bill, as many Lakewood voters were told tuition relief is on the way.

UENJ released a statement today that they were advised to pull the bill and will resubmit at a later date

Yair Levin, 19, from Givat Harel

According to an initial IDF probe, the troops had thrown an explosive inside a suspicious home in Rafah's Shaboura neighborhood, in an attempt to trigger any possible traps, and entered after there was no immediate blast. As two soldiers entered the three-story building, it exploded, causing part of it to collapse on some of the soldiers. Inside the home, the IDF later found a tunnel shaft, indicating the building likely belonged to a Hamas operative.
