Legislation to provide tax credits for New Jersey businesses who hire disabled veterans has been introduced out in Trenton.

Although last Monday, State Sen. President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) unveiled his legislative package designed to help Atlantic City survive, the legislator is still actively exploring the possibility of casinos outside the struggling resort town.

On this Veterans Day, a New Jersey lawmaker is introducing legislation designed to help the family members who care for military members when they return home with a disabling injury.

Atlantic City has been a great part of New Jersey's history and immediate steps must be taken to make sure it has a great future, State Sen. President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) said Monday.

A new legislation could grant civil service hiring preferences to veterans in the Garden State seeking employment.

New Jersey Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo (D-Northfield) has proposed a plan to reinvigorate the economy of the Atlantic City region for the next few years.

Almost two years after Sandy struck the Garden State, problems persist in getting relief aid to businesses and homeowners who suffered extensive damage in areas hardest hit by the superstorm.

State casino regulators say they can't force the owners of two casinos to stay open another four months while new buyers are sought.

Three South Jersey-area state lawmakers want casino regulators to force Trump Plaza and Showboat to stay open at least four more months to attract prospective buyers.

The way New Jersey doles out the second round of federal Sandy relief aid would be more equitable and more transparent, according to the sponsors of a bill that has passed the full legislature and now awaits action from Gov. Chris Christie.
