Statement from Mark Longo on the Governor’s Construction Executive Orders

(Springfield, NJ) — Mark Longo, Director of Engineers Labor-Employer Cooperative 825 issued the following statement in response to groups urging the Governor to reverse his own Executive Orders:

“Whether individuals are driving gas cars, electric cars, or riding on solar-powered buses, they all require safe roads and reliable bridges. We simply need to look around the world at nations that are beginning to normalize. Their workforce is choosing to forgo mass transit for the safety of their own vehicle and New Jersey will be no different.

‘Understanding that, we shouldn’t reverse ourselves now in the middle of the crisis when we can continue to push forward on critical infrastructure projects that will have a real, meaningful effect on New Jersey’s post-pandemic daily life.

‘We strongly urge the Governor to stay the course and not cow tail to groups who may be using the crisis to further their own goals.”
