Hey, Everybody: Does This Mean Anything To You?
WE think it should still mean something. Right now. It's the law!
'OK,' He Says 'If THAT'S What You Want . . . '
New Jersey Senator Robert Singer (R-30) announced that legislation he sponsors to help counties implement recently enacted criminal justice reforms would be withdrawn in response to vocal opposition from the New Jersey Association of Counties (NJAC).
The legislation that Singer will withdraw, S-2933, would have established a one-year property tax levy cap exclusion for costs incurred by local governments related to implementing bail reforms.
Singer noted that another relief measure, S-2850, was adopted by the Legislature in December and signed into law by the Governor last month to assist with the implementation of the new criminal justice reforms.
That legislation appropriated nearly $10 million to add 20 new judges around the state in support of the new law.
“The State is doing its part to assist counties to implement reforms to better protect the public and make our justice system more efficient,” added Singer. “If the NJAC is going to deny additional help that we’ve offered, the responsibility for any resulting layoffs or service reductions will fall squarely on their shoulders.”

“I introduced this legislation to help counties account for the one-time implementation costs that were expected as a result of recently enacted bail reforms,” said Singer. “It seems that no good deed goes unpunished, however. Despite my effort to help our counties, the NJAC doesn’t want the legislative relief that I’ve offered, so I’ll withdraw the bill.”The legislation that Singer will withdraw, S-2933, would have established a one-year property tax levy cap exclusion for costs incurred by local governments related to implementing bail reforms.

'A Way To Respond With Compassion . . . '
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia will participate in Catholic Relief Services’ Rice Bowl for the 42nd consecutive year. Rice Bowl is a nationwide Lenten program that gives people of all ages a way to respond to human suffering with compassion and action through tangible action.
This year, CRS’ Rice Bowl provides a path for Catholics in the United States to build what Pope Francis calls a “culture of encounter.” Families are encouraged to place money that they would have spent on meals into the rice bowls to remember those who are poor and hungry. For each of the six weeks of Lent, which begins on Wednesday, March 1st, there is a recipe and a story from a different country focusing on a family or individual. This year’s featured countries are India, Zambia, El Salvador, Mexico, and Ethiopia.
The CRS Rice Bowl, now in its 42nd year, provides resources for families, parishes, and Catholic schools to incorporate into their Lenten journey of penitence and alms giving. It consists of four components, prayer, fasting, learning, and giving. In addition, it is global in its reach bringing goods and services to people in need around the world. Twenty-five percent of all contributions will go to Nutritional Development Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The remaining seventy-five percent will support CRS’ humanitarian and development programs overseas, providing lifesaving assistance, and hope to impoverished and vulnerable communities.
Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic Community in the United States. It is dedicated to improving the lives of poor and vulnerable families through humanitarian programs and services.
