@PATHTrain similarly has no info on how to access 33rd St.

Along these lines, it's worth noting that many of the individuals and groups who have worked extensively on prison and criminal legal reform in NJ have stood in solidarity with those incarcerated in Delaney Hall
A brutal incarceration system entraps us all
Instead of a political gotcha, this could be a moment of realization and introspection about how we as a state want to treat all incarcerated people when they are not able to feed, fend or care for themselves. What conditions are wrong for one are wrong for all-- and vice versa.

Even if revenue numbers are better than expected, the STRUCTURAL deficit will remain -- the state is not raising enough revenue to cover its investments, and those costs continue to rise.
One year can be patched over. But next year always arrives.
More revenue is still needed!
May 14
As the New Jersey Legislature continues to hold departmental hearings over the proposed state budget for Fiscal Year 2027, @johnsb01 reports that final revenue numbers, which will come out next week, are expected to be "promising," which could give Governor Sherrill and legislative leaders more flexibility in their negotiations.

Many New Jerseyans on food stamps could see their monthly payments reduced, and approximately 47,000 could lose benefits entirely, under new federal guidelines that may also shift hundreds of millions of dollars in program cost to state taxpayers.

When the big moneyed interests shill for big sports or entertainment events, they always say it'll be an economic boon and have rosy economic projections
But they ignore that these events have costs on local residents that cancel out much of the economic benefit!
The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is coming ⚽️ These hotspots are likely to have lots of traffic before, during, and after matches. Prepare now to ensure you don’t have to be on the roads! Find info on match locations, dates & times: nynjfwc26.com/schedule/

Cheers to @MattFriedmanNJ for featuring my side-project site tracking ceremonial bills in the @politiconj Playbook.
If you're interested in NJ's ceremonial fluff legislation, I got you covered.

Both FIFA and the Murphy administration walked back the “free” public transportation requirement in 2024 — when @northjersey was the only one reporting on this and had the contracts and addenda.

Let this also be a PSA to support local news

FIFA have responded to this - and strongly.
“We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days.
“FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation.
“FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”

ICE does not readily share data on what they do and where they do it. In #NJ, most of those they arrest have no criminal record. Our analysis of #ICE arrests exposes the gap between rhetoric and reality in the administration's immigration crackdown nj.com/politics/2026/04/what…
