Good Friday morning!
Gov. Phil Murphy is pushing yet another gun control package his third, even if several of the bills
are left over from previous gun legislation pushes.
Those bills stricter ammunition tracking and photo ID requirements for purchases, four-year renewal of gun purchase IDs and lock box home storage rules have something in common besides firearms: They passed the Assembly in 2019 but not the Senate.
The two embattled Democrats who had planned to run for state Assembly in the 37th District on the ballot with state Senate candidate Gordon Johnson have backed out of the race.
Alexandra Soriano-Taveras, whose call for a boycott of Teaneck businesses last year became a renewed target for controversy this month, and Palisades Park Mayor Christopher Chung, who last week was chided by the state comptroller in a report accusing the borough of fiscal mismanagement, both said this week that they are withdrawing from consideration for June’s Assembly primary.
The withdrawals are another twist in this liberal district s intra-Democratic Party war, ignited when its longtime state senator, Loretta Weinberg, announced she is not seeking reelection in the fall.
