NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A bill to send $10 million to New Jersey's historically underfunded lead control and abatement program was "pocket-vetoed" by Governor Chris Christie, even after it passed both houses of the State Legislature.
Governor Christie had until noon on January 19 to sign or veto S-1279, which would appropriate $10 million to the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund. Because the bill was from a prior legislative session, and Christie took no action, the "pocket veto" effectively killed the bill.
BENTONVILLE, AR–Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to close 154 stores in the U.S. at the end of January, but none in the Garden State.
The retail giant said it will close all 102 of its smaller Walmart Express outlets, which were launched as part of a pilot program in 2011, and drop its vision to open more of these 12,000-15,000 square-foot stores.
The outlets offered customers the ability to get in and out quickly, like shopping at a convenience or dollar store. But there were never any Walmart Express stores in New Jersey.
