Should NJ Government employees reside in our wonderful state? Well, many of our legislators feel they should and this is why they have introduced Senate Bill 1730 and General Assembly Bill 2478. These two bills would make it a requirement to reside in New Jersey in order to work for New Jersey. And I wholeheartedly support both bills.
I think that by requiring folks to live in our state in order to hold a NJ government (State, County, City and/or Board of Education, etc.) job would strengthen our tax base and our economy as a whole by way of keeping more of our tax dollars in circulation in our state.
This is why I have sponsored a resolution in support of Senate Bill 1730 and General Assembly Bill 2478. Please click on the image below to view resolution:

Paterson, NJ – On May 12, 2010 the Paterson City Council adopted resolution 10:331 – a Resolution Denouncing the State of Arizona’s New Immigration Law and calling on the Federal Government to Implement Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The resolution affirms that Arizona’s new law on immigration is “formulated on a policy of profiling rather than just and equal process” and that the law “infringes upon the civil rights of individuals and families across the United States.”
The resolution was sponsored by 5th Ward Councilman Julio Tavarez and received full support from members of the City Council. During discussion, Councilman Anthony Davis compared Arizona’s new law on immigration to the Apartheid rule that was established in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Councilman Tavarez stated, “The Arizona law on immigration is a regressive and unjust legislation that does not provide a solution to our immigration problems.” Tavarez added, “What we need is comprehensive immigration reform and I believe that it is high time for the federal government to make comprehensive immigration a top priority.”
The Paterson City Council Resolution Denouncing Arizona’s New Immigration Law calls for the state of Arizona to revert from implementing this law; urges the federal government to enact comprehensive immigration reform that will provide a clear path to citizenship and revising current enforcement policies so that human and civil rights are safeguarded because our nation cannot wait any longer.
