Gov. Phil Murphy signed a bill into law on Thursday designed to ensure uniform statewide standards and a way to take career-ending disciplinary action when officers need to be held accountable.
Some progressive activists say New Jersey should follow the lead of New York City, where the city council has approved a bill giving more than 800,000 noncitizens legally living in the city the right to vote in local elections.
Legislation requiring ‘dark money’ independent political groups to disclose their donors and spending that Gov. Murphy conditionally vetoed last month is going to become law anyway.
Amol Sinha, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, called the funding a great step forward because it will help people at risk of losing their livelihoods and families.
