Amato, Rumpf, Myhre

Happy Birthday to Senator Carmen Amato! 🎉 Thank you for all you do for the residents of Ocean County and the Garden State. Wishing you a great day!

Many of our constituents are seniors and veterans that are increasingly alarmed about being specifically targeted for identity theft by fraudsters. Our legislation would strengthen existing State law by increasing penalties by one degree when the victim is a senior or veteran.

This bill is a small but meaningful way to support the brave men and women who have made sacrifices for our country and now need our support. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

🧵This legislative package recognizes the importance of long-term environmental and public health improvements and delivers meaningful support to help achieve those goals.

🧵The NJ Infrastructure Bank remains a vital resource for communities working to modernize aging water systems, protect waterways, and deliver safe water for families across the state. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

Students shouldn’t bear the consequences of failed Democrat decisions. When funding cuts lead to less programs & staffing losses, students & families feel it first. Every child deserves strong schools & Senate Republicans are standing up to ensure NJ does better for its students.

The new admin’s latest budget cuts are creating new challenges for organizations that serve NJ’s senior community. Sen. Amato and Sen. Republicans are continuing to push for a more balanced budget that protects important local services and better prioritizes residents in need.

Meals on Wheels has long supported seniors across Ocean County by providing dependable meal services and regular connection for those who count on the program every day.

This collaboration with Senator Mukherji advances our shared goal of ensuring veterans in educational roles receive the recognition and respect they’ve earned. senatenj.com/m/newsflash/ho…

Students, educators, and taxpayers are united in demanding an immediate fix to Trenton’s broken school funding formula and aid cuts. We were proud to stand with families at the Save Our Schools rally in Bayville. Thanks to Rhiannon Mindas for organizing and to all who attended.

I joined Sen. O'Scanlon to call on Gov. Sherrill to restore aid for school districts capped in her budget proposal. Schools are being forced to cut staff, eliminate programs, or even close. We have the ability to stop it and we've presented the governor with the plans to do so.

And there are others who will abuse these savings and additional revenues for continued pork spending based on favoritism and excess.

If you wait until late May or June to acknowledge these increased revenue projections or finish vetting our cost-saving ideas, it will be too late to help schools that are currently in the process of cutting critical programs or needlessly raising property taxes.

NJ Dem's failed school funding formula has left too many communities behind. Schools in Ocean County are forced into tough decisions by cutting programs, reducing staff & asking more from taxpayers! We must restore fairness & make sure every district gets the support it deserves.

Shore families, retirees, small businesses & local officials made it clear: NJ REAL rules don’t work as is. We can protect our coastline with common sense & local input. Proud to cosponsor legislation to fix a flawed process & ensure transparency and collaboration moving forward.

NJ is feeling the impact of a broken, politically driven school funding formula-our kids shouldn’t be collateral damage in a Democrat agenda. Republicans have fought for fairness & won’t back down. No budget should pass without funding for all schools—not just a select few towns.

Sen. Amato: A little throwback to the good ole days...
