NJ LEGISLATURE PASSES GOVERNOR CHRISTIE’S BAIL REFORM PACKAGE, PROVING REAL ACTION IS POSSIBLE WITH BIPARTISAN LEADERSHIP –

The New Jersey Assembly on Monday passed Governor Christie’s package of reforms to overhaul the state's broken bail system. While the federal government allows for violent criminals to be held without bail, New Jersey’s constitution does not, thereby allowing even the most dangerous criminals to be released and commit new crimes while nonviolent defendants are often unable to afford bail and left stuck in jail. Now two key measures of the approved bail reform package will be put forth as a constitutional amendment on November’s ballot for voters to decide on.

Governor Christie applauded the Legislature’s action on Monday and underscored how progress and real action are possible with bipartisan leadership. In case you missed it last week, here’s a video of the Governor discussing the ways New Jersey sets the example for bipartisan policy:
