Democrats are struggling to build a surefire legal strategy to block new Republican-backed restrictions on voting rights, relying on broadly worded warnings and urgent pleas that are designed, in part, to build political pressure on the White House, Congress and the Justice Department to act, as well as to engage their supporters to mobilize in advance of the 2022 midterm elections.

Mayor James Davis has announced that work will start in June on replacing the 25th Street Pedestrian Bridge, which enables pedestrians to walk over the railroad tracks that separate Avenue E and Prospect Avenue.
The bridge is one of three that cross the Light Rail in Bayonne. Others are at 22nd Street and 30th Street.
“The current bridge has needed to be replaced for a long time,” Davis said. “We are grateful to the State of New Jersey for providing the majority of the funding needed to complete this important project.”
