On the afternoon of May 24 the Assembly will act on the ORANJ-sponsored bill concerning refundable deposits. It would make a statement if many ORANJ members attended the session. The Assembly gallery usually opens at 1:00 pm. Parking can take a while. Ron Whalin has suggested that we meet at the NJ State House Cafeteria about 12:00 and enter the gallery together. It would make a statement if many ORANJ members attended the session. Contact Ron at 2whalins@gmail.com if you are interested in attending.
Following the action in the assembly, a companion bill will go to the senate. We have been successful in the legislative process when ORANJ voices appear at committee hearings or by letters to committee chairpersons and/or individual members of a committee. The more they hear from seniors the more likely they are to support a bill we favor. Whatever you do will help at any level in the process.
