New Jersey needs real solutions to our growing energy challenges, and that means taking a hard look at what’s actually holding us back.
Senator Latham Tiver's Senate Bill 3870 is a step in the right direction. It cuts through outdated barriers and allows us to responsibly move forward with nuclear energy, one of the most reliable, zero-emission power sources we have.
Nuclear power delivers around-the-clock energy, strengthens our grid, and helps bring down long-term costs for families.
Just as important, it creates good-paying union jobs and real economic opportunity here at home.
At a time when energy bills are hitting families hard, we need to be part of the solution. This is about affordability, reliability, and building a stronger energy future for South Jersey.
Thank you, Senator Latham Tiver , for signing S4864 to keep tax dollars local and help ensure that local infrastructure projects use local labor with Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). Let's build our future with union labor.

Congratulations to @iuoe825 Local 825 member Michael Ham on being sworn in to represent the City of Kingston's 7th Ward. We all win when Local 825 operating engineers are at the table.
Beach replenishment projects protect shore communities and shore economies. Shout out to the operating engineers of @iuoe825 for doing this important work.
This is a major milestone. We are encouraged by the progress made by the elected officials and Turnpike Authority. Goods and services will move more quickly, commutes will be quicker and safer, and the region will be stronger. Keeping pace with the changing economy and growing regional populations is paramount.
We urge our leaders to utilize project labor agreements and local union labor for the highest trained workforce and best management of the public funds. That is the fastest and most efficient use of construction dollars.
The Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension Improvements Program is a critical investment in our regional infrastructure that expands access to our ports and airport while keeping up with the pace of residential and commercial development in Jersey City, Bayonne, and Newark.
After considerable review, the program will be revised to eliminate new travel lanes east of Interchange 14A and provide a direct connection from the Turnpike Extension to port facilities in Bayonne and Jersey City.

Thank you @govKathyHochul for supporting the NESE pipeline that will not only strengthen the energy grid but also help thousands of homeowners replace dirty heating oil that must be trucked to their homes with clean natural gas.
