You are invited to attend:
NJ Spotlight Roundtable: NJ's Energy
Future - Energy Efficiency Friday, September 21, 2018 from -
In
this Part 4 of a 5-event series on New
Jersey’s Energy Future, we'll explore
Energy Efficiency.
New Jersey
is getting serious about reducing how much energy its businesses and public
use. A new law enacted this spring mandates significant cuts in consumption of
electricity and gas. If achieved, it could by one projection lead to savings of
up to $200 million a year for customers. A panel of industry experts,
policymakers, and clean energy advocates explain how we reach that goal and
what needs to happen to get there.
Opening Remarks:
Steven Gabel, President,
Gabel Associates
Panelists:
Mary Barber, Director, New
Jersey Clean Energy, Environmental Defense Fund
Stefanie A. Brand, Director, New
Jersey Division of Rate Counsel
David M. Daly, President and
Chief Operating Officer, Public Service Electric and Gas Company
Tom Massaro, Sr. Vice

I am writing you today as one of the Republican members of the New Jersey Bipartisan Coalition for Women's Appointments, a statewide, bipartisan group convened by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers-New Brunswick. BCWA's purpose is to ensure the placement of well-qualified women in key positions throughout New Jersey government, regardless of who wins the gubernatorial election this year.
After the November election, New Jersey's new governor will appoint hundreds of people to state boards and commissions.
The BCWA is immediately accepting résumés for a "talent bank" of women interested in being considered for appointments to the new gubernatorial administration in 2018.
To submit your résumé, fill out the online biographical form for potential appointees. All résumés will be forwarded to the governor-elect's transition team and appointments office.
We look forward to your submission.
Sincerely,
Vanessa
Vanessa LaFranco
Bipartisan Coalition for Women's Appointments

Openings Available to Serve on New Jersey Commissions and Boards
Service on a New Jersey board or commission is a great way
to contribute to the state and your community. There are a great number of
boards and commissions to which the Governor makes appointments that deal with
virtually all Department and public policy areas. Some appointments made by the
Governor require the Advice and Consent of the State Senate, while others are
made by the Direct Appointment of the Governor, requiring no action by the
Senate.
Serving on a board or commission
requires more than an individual's presence, it requires an unyielding
contribution of expertise and time. It is important to realize that time
commitment will vary depending on the ways in which a specific board or
commission is operated.
We welcome your participation in
this process, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Please fill out the following form
and remember to upload or fax a resume to (609)777-0331.
In the meantime, if you have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Appointments
Office at (609)777-0251.
Keep your message brief, friendly,
and to the point.

Former Hamilton Township Councilman
Former Hamilton Township Councilman
Jack Lacy, a longtime member of the township Republican Party who was active
for decades in local politics, has died.
Born and raised in Hamilton, Lacy was a
1956 graduate of Hamilton High School. He
graduated from Rutgers University with a
degree in journalism and from St. Regis University with a
Masters in Political Science.
After graduating college, he became a
member and later president of the Hamilton Jaycees.
Alongside the other member of the “two
Jacks,” former Republican Mayor Jack Rafferty, Lacy came to personify Hamilton government.
Lacy retired from the township council
in 1999, but attempted another run for office in 2003, when he challenged
Democrat Glen Gilmore for mayor. Gilmore won the race by a wide margin
and Lacy resumed his role as a mentor and steward for the Hamilton GOP.
“Jack was a true public servant who
loved Hamilton Township,” said
former state Sen. Tom Goodwin, who was handpicked by Lacy to run for township
council in 2005. “His expertise in municipal government was second to
none.
”Lacy is survived by his wife Joanne
and daughter Shannon, along with a granddaughter.
The funeral will be held on Thursday at
11 a.m. from the
Buklad Yardville Memorial Chapel, 30
Yardville Allentown Rd. in
Yardville. Burial will follow in Princeton Memorial
Park in Robbinsville. Friends
may call on Wednesday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the
memorial chapel. Memorial contributions
in Jack's memory may be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, NJ Metro
Chapter, 1 Kalisa Way, Suite 205, Paramus, NJ 07652.

A Tribute to Assemblyman Alex DeCroce
Minority Leader Alex DeCroce has died
DeCroce collapsed about
11 p.m.
Monday in the legislative wing of the Statehouse following a late-night voting
session. Shocked lawmakers, aides, and operatives milled around as EMTs
attended to DeCroce, who was said to have been feeling ill before leaving the
chamber.
A mild-mannered leader,
DeCroce was first elected to the Assembly in 1989 and served as deputy speaker
from 1994 to 2001.
He also served as a Morris County
freeholder from 1984 to 1989, serving for one year as freeholder director.
DeCroce was born
in Morristown
and lived in Parsippany-Troy Hills. He attended Seton Hall University
and, aside from his legislative accomplishments, made his career as a Realtor
at ERA Gallo & DeCroce.

Mr. Biondi suffered
from cancer and perservered in the face of his illness, winning re-election on
Tuesday night.
Born in Newark,
the assemblyman settled in Hillsborough and kept his well-trafficked office in
downtown Somerville.
A throwback who enjoyed
nurturing friendships on both sides of the aisle, Mr. Biondi was respected by
his peers as a savvy politician.
The former mayor of
Hillsborough presided over the 1990s construction of the township's impressive
municipal building.
A great storyteller,
vigorous conversationalist and horse lover, Mr. Biondi recalled how as a
young man he used to take extended rides in Hunterdon
County.
The proud
Italian-American was a good-natured center of attention in Somerville
taverns for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
An assemblyman
since 1998, Mr. Biondi served as Republican Conference
Leader through 2008 and as the Assembly's Assistant Republican
Leader from 2002-2003.
