@DrOz
running in PA US Senate Race; last I checked he was my constituent in Cliffside Park; we read together few years back at Cliffside Park BOE event, both of us were big supporters of kids education in Cliffside.
@PaSenateDems
@PASenateGOP
I applaud decision
@GovMurphy
to extend school closure to May 15; we must continue to provide students w/ hope, challenge them to embrace virtual learning, keep them invigorated;
@NJSIAA
did it right by extending spring sports season to end of June; don’t anyone dare quit on us
Loss of learning, digital divide in urban districts, lack of socialization has to be halted; kids need their teachers
@njea
u are essential to their future; academic based athletics governed by
@NJSIAA
keeps student/athletes safe no fall sports means unsafe 3rd party club sports
Tri-State announcement is what we needed to ensure an uniformed, strategic, approach to contain & mitigate COVID-19; a patchwork of closings & cancellations will lead to confusion & panic; Now is a time to lead, not panic, we need everyone’s cooperation.

#trustthescience
Glad that we are staying on course; schools have options to go remote or hybrid; kids must be given every opportunity to go to school & play sports; learning loss is significant,can’t get back loss of athletic opportunities/experience
@GovMurphy
For many, our passion in high school sports is deep in tradition; positive impact on student-athlete lives; community spirit; role model/ mentor coaches who have huge impact on their players; May God Bless

@USABL1
Easy to criticize massive public agency like
@NJTRANSIT
when they don’t deliver; but let’s commend DOT Chair Scacetti her leadership team, engineers, maintenance folks for making 2020 FRA deadline of computer based positive train control; 88% completed in 3yrs; 12% previous 8 yr
NJ school administrators, don't cancel fall sports NOW. The NJSIAA has a plan that experts have developed. We have time to see how things play out in other states that have already started. Get all the information we can then decide. Use the time we have.
As Mayor & Pro Law Enforcement Senator I respectfully disagree w/ directives to allow off-duty police officers to smoke weed. With cannabis remaining in one’s system for 30 days; police will subject themselves to never ending lawsuits & questioning of their judgements
