Red Tape Review Commission Report

On February 8, 2012, the bi-partisan Red Tape Review Commission, chaired by Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, released a report detailing progress the State has made reducing red tape and listing further steps to make regulations less costly for business and non-profit groups.

The report is based, in part, on input received at public hearings. The report highlights significant changes implemented by the Christie Administration in 2011 to streamline government and cut red tape, as well as policy recommendations to further reduce the regulatory burden on business and make it easier for them to grow and hire workers.

"For business, onerous and burdensome red tape is like death by a thousand paper cuts," said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. "It takes money from business and jobs from workers."

New Jersey State Museum Unveils 9/11 Memorial Display in State House Rotunda

The New Jersey State Museum has unveiled a temporary installation in the State House Rotunda to mark the beginning of the six month remembrance prior to the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Comprised of a piece of World Trade Center steel with twisted rivets that convey the destruction, a 9/11 urn and flag presented to victims’ families by the state in the fall of 2001, as well as educational information, this interim display precedes an educational, interactive and wide-ranging 9/11 exhibition that will run at the State Museum from September 11, 2011 through September 2012.

"As the nation prepares to honor the life, work and dreams of those who perished tragically on September 11, 2001, it is only fitting that New Jersey play a central role in helping to initiate these efforts," said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. "New Jersey lost 677 of its own on that day, and we must never waver in our support for the individuals directly impacted by 9/11 nor forget this seminal event in American history and its ongoing impact on the people of New Jersey."
