| Ethics
Reform
"Over
and over again, I have made my position clear – ethics
reform is a priority. We all agree it is a priority, but is
cannot be limited to one branch of government. The people of
New Jersey want and deserve nothing less than a comprehensive
reform…and we should give it to them." |
Kids
Time
"I
believe that raising our children is the most important responsibility
we have, but it is getting harder and harder for working parents
to balance responsibilities to their children with their need
to work. We can set a national example and be the first state
to provide sixteen hours of paid leave so parents no longer
have to make that choice." |

Protecting
Our Environment
"The
soot and exhaust from diesel trucks and buses is a threat to
the health of our children It is contributing to high rates
of asthma, premature deaths, and too many emergency room visits.
A family can't protect themselves from soot, so that
is why I am asking tis Legislature to enact new laws to reduce
the impact of diesel emissions on New Jersey air quality. I
want New Jersey to send a message to the nation that, in our
state, the health of our families comes first." |
Better
Health Care
"I
have met too many women with breast cancer and have heard of
too many insurance companies that won't cover a mammogram
until a woman is forty years old. That isn't right. Today,
I ask this Legislature to stand up to the insurance companies
and require mammograms to be covered for women under forty
with a family history of breast cancer and a recommendation
from her doctor." |

New
Jersey After 3
"Every
afternoon, there are too many children on their own, too many
sitting alone in front of the television, in front of a video
game, in the mall or on the street finding trouble. Let's
use the schools we are building and fixing and keep them open
from three to six so children can have more time for learning
and less time for trouble. Today, I am proposing a new partnership
between the State, the private sector and the many dedicated
education and community providers to fund and operate a system
of after-school programs across the state. New Jersey After
3, will be the first state-sponsored, non-profit corporation
anywhere in America. I am gong to challenge us to have 20,000
children enrolled in after-school activities in the next school
year."
