Changes for the Next Session:

Now that the election is over and leadership has been decided things are moving along in Trenton. The Democratic leadership in the Assembly remains the same with Assemblyman Albio Sires as Speaker and Assemblyman Joe Roberts as Majority Leader. The Republican Minority Leader Assemblyman Paul DiGaetano, a moderate, stepped down and was replaced by Assemblyman Alex DeCroce, a more conservative Republican. In the Senate, Senate Co-President Richard Codey was elected to become Senate President in his own right. Senator Bernard Kenny was elected as Majority leader. Senator Leonard Lance has been selected to serve as Minority Leader and Senator Tom Kean as Minority Whip.

Now that the Governor's party is in control of both houses, Governor McGreevey will have an easier time pushing his agenda, like the issue of Smart Growth, through the Legislature and getting his appointments confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, he will still hear from opponents like Senator William Gormley (R-2), Senator Diane Allen (R-7) and Assemblyman Alex DeCroce (R-26), all strong voices in the minority.

A-706/S-2683 :

On December 4, 2003, S-2683 sponsored by Senator Geist (R-4) and Assemblywomen Weinberg (D-37) and Friscia (R-19) was scheduled to be heard in the Senate State Government Committee. The bill, which concerns certain contracts to privatize state services, was held.
