Lopez Issues Statement on Governor Murphy’s Conditional Veto of A2294
(TRENTON) — Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez (D-19) released the following statement regarding Governor Murphy’s conditional veto of A2294 concerning Hurricane Ida aide.
“Three years after Hurricane Ida wreaked havoc on our State, we still have families who have been overlooked, are still recovering, and in desperate need of assistance. I am disappointed in the Murphy Administration’s conditional veto language that will only serve to diminish the population of eligible recipients and add layers of bureaucracy to the assistance process. In working with survivors, you can see the terrible situations they are experiencing and the tremendous help that the legislation offers. A mortgage forbearance would give impacted families the breathing room they need to deal with their mounting storm-related debt and the ability to focus on their priorities to get their lives back on track. Although I can appreciate the Administration’s concerns, these families have waited long enough for help, and they should not have to wait any longer.” |
