Cornerstone New Jersey Members Meet with Gov. Christie's Chief of Staff and Chief Counsil
Gov. Chris Christie signed 80 bills into law last year, the fewest number of laws New Jersey has adopted in any year going back 170 years, Christie's Chief of Staff Kevin O'Dowd said at an exclusive breakfast for New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Cornerstone members this morning.
The small number of new laws is a source of pride for the Christie administration. "We are standing up to the Legislature and telling them we are not going to sign bills that we don't believe in," O'Dowd said.
Added Charles McKenna, the governor's chief counsel, "Back in the 1770s, we were a new nation and we needed laws. We are 230-plus years old now, enough of the laws."
At the breakfast, O'Dowd, McKenna and their top deputies gave brief presentations, held a question-and-answer session and stayed for one-on-one conversations with 33 Cornerstone New Jersey members to discuss crucial issues like the state budget and taxation. The event was held outdoors among the beautiful Gardens at Morven Museum and Garden in Princeton.

Bob Martin, the DEP Commissioner, acknowledged this to an audience of about 75 New Jersey Chamber of Commerce members this morning and said his department is working to make the process "better and faster" by transforming application methods, putting all applications online for transparency and requiring all DEP employees go through customer service training.

Flood Insurance Program Update from Congressman Frank LoBiondo
What’s Happened:
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance as a protection against flood losses in exchange for State and community floodplain management regulations that reduce future flood damages. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between communities and the Federal Government. If a community adopts and enforces a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risk to new construction in floodplains, the Federal Government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to reduce the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods.
