Committeewoman Christine Madrid explained that the denial was a recommendation from the Montgomery Township Police Department because there had been issues with the applicants response time.
Temporary emergency appropriations were approved because
of the temporary budget function. The bottom line will not be
effected by temporary emergency
appropriations.

New Jersey was one of the first states to
require coverage for autism treatment,
however there are many diagnoses on the
spectrum that have not been covered. This
has caused financial and emotional nightmares for parents, whose lives become consumed by fighting for coverage for their
children.
In January, I introduced legislation that
would provide families with autistic children with a clearer path toward treatment.
My bill, A-272, would clarify the intent of
New Jerseys 2009 law guaranteeing insurance coverage for treating this disorder.
We must do better for New Jersey families
who have been touched by autism by enforcing the intent of the existing law and
covering the entire autism spectrum.
A-272 provides a significant opportunity

After months of studying and occasional goofing off, the team
watched its hard work pay off.
The team placed first in elastic
launch glider, second in dynamic
planet, among many other events.
The truth is, the MHS science
Olympiad team holds more than
medals and trophies as valuable.
Academics and hard work are an
undeniable distinction; however,
the same fascination and marvel
that the Olympians get from
learning material unrelated to
school create a sense of mutual
awe. The event Anatomy far surpasses the knowledge obtained
through high school biology; the
event Helicopters allows for actual hands-on experience in engineering; even the tedious nature
of Entomology is refreshing.
Since Science Olympiad started, the team has evolved drastically. In middle school, few students were aware of what it
meant to compete in a team. The
middle school coaches, Ms. Sowa,
Ms. Blakemore and Ms. Kleinfield, had to drill all of the students to get their work done. However, as the year progressed and
many students experienced their
