Senator Tom Kean, R-21, has announced that pursuant to Senate Rule 12:6, he has filed a 24-hour notice to remove Senate Bill 287, which would limit campaign contributions by contractors and political parties, from the State Government Committee for a vote in the full Senate.
“This legislation will take us another step closer to ending New Jersey’s pay-to-play culture. Senate President Richard Codey needs to allow free and open debate on this legislation in the next voting session of the Senate. It’s too important to delay any longer.”
“For more than six years and through several Democrat administrations, the people of New Jersey have waited for true and comprehensive pay to play reform. There is no better time to push forward for a measure that will save the State money through improved efficiencies in state contracts than right now as the Legislature embarks on its review of the governor’s proposed fiscal blueprint for fiscal 2009.”
S-287 restricts contributions from public contractors, and county and municipal political party committees.
