It Can Only Be Considered A Giant Win - BRAVO!



Look.
Listen.
Pay attention.
THIS is how a president acts. THIS is how a real leader leads!

Well, This Certainly Does Make Us Feel Safer . . .

Legislation sponsored by New Jersey State Senator Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth) to prohibit persons with DUI-related suspended or revoked licenses from operating NJ Transit trains has been signed into law by Governor Chris Christie.

“It’s incomprehensible that people who were prohibited from driving a car due to DUI-related issues were allowed to continue driving trains with hundreds of passengers,” said Beck. “I’m glad that the Legislature and Governor Christie were able to act so quickly to fix this outrageous loophole in state law.”

S-20 was introduced on May 26 following an investigative report by WABC on a New Jersey Transit engineer who was permitted under state law to continue driving commuter trains despite having lost his motor vehicle driver’s for ten years for alcohol related issues, the latest in a string of such suspensions.

The measure, sponsored with Senate President Stephen Sweeney, moved through the entire legislative process in just over a month, and was sent to the Governor’s desk on June 27.

“The speed with which the Legislature acted to fast-track this bill is a sign of how important it is,” Beck added. “The nearly 400,000 people who board NJ Transit trains on an average weekday expect and deserve a safe ride.”

Under the newly enacted law, any person whose driver’s license is suspended or revoked for a DUI, or for refusing to take a breathalyzer test, in New Jersey or any other state, would be barred from operating NJ Transit trains or light rail cars.

Questionable Ethics, Dubious Actions . . . .

Another day, another ethics scandal for Katie McGinty. While serving as the Secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection, emails show that Katie McGinty used taxpayer dollars to bankroll her trips to job interviews across the country. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Katie McGinty is very comfortable using government resources to fund her trips through the revolving door between the public and private sector. Katie McGinty owes Pennsylvanians an explanation as to why she thought it was okay to use taxpayer dollars to hunt for private-sector paydays.” – PA GOP Communications Director Megan Sweeney

Excerpts from the article:

Katie McGinty used a taxpayer-funded trip to California to meet with a green energy company that she believed could put her on its board of directors once she entered the private sector, according to email records from McGinty’s tenure as secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection.

McGinty, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania, has taken heat for her quick transition from the public sector to lucrative positions at top energy companies. The emails show that McGinty spoke openly about life after government during her final months on the job—including to her former boss, Al Gore.

In a 2008 email to the former vice president, who first hired McGinty to work in his Senate office and then brought her along to the White House, McGinty tried to obtain information about new solar technology that she hoped could help her potential future employers.

“Can’t sleep,” began McGinty’s 3:36 a.m. email to Gore, who was running green energy investments for the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. “I am back to thinking about csp [concentrated solar power].” McGinty was concerned about the “microclimate impact,” “bird impact,” and regulatory challenges of the energy generation method.

McGinty added that she hoped to be put on the board of energy companies, and planned to give them a competitive advantage over other firms by sharing her concerns about concentrated solar power . . .
