This email today out of Trenton from Diane Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, commissioner New Jersey Department of Transportation:

“Out of an abundance of caution, all state offices will close at 2:30 pm today. If you are working in the building today, please make certain to wrap up your work and be on your way home by 2:30 pm.”

Last night, the state’s capital city was a scene of downtown mayhem.
