Assemblyman John McKeon (D-Essex, Morris), a prime sponsor of  the “New Jersey COVID-19 Emergency Bond Act,” released the following statement applauding the New Jersey Supreme Court’s Unanimous ruling on the Act’s constitutionality:

“The Supreme Court’s holding on the Act’s constitutionality is consistent with the arguments advanced on the floor of the legislature by advocates. The Supreme Court focused on the language in the Constitution so crafted by the framers for the type of fiscal emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The opinion is well reasoned and a victory for all New Jersey residents whom would otherwise had suffered dire consequences without this legislation.”
