UTCA STATEMENT ON RETIREMENT OF GOV. CODEY FROM THE LEGISLATURE

Farmingdale – Utility and Transportation Contractors Association (UTCA) Executive Director Dave Rible released the following statement today on the retirement of Governor Codey from the State Legislature:

“I can think of few people who are leaving behind a more incredible legacy than Dick Codey. His commitment to public service spans 50 years and countless bills that he helped make law that improved the lives of everyday New Jerseyans. He steadied the ship as governor during an uncertain time in our state’s history and led the charge for the widening of the New Jersey Turnpike. Governor Codey was always ready to meet colleagues with a joke, a discussion about a serious topic or, sometimes, both. Perhaps his most lasting legacy, however, will be his commitment to those with mental health issues and ensuring their voices were heard in Trenton.

“We wish Governor Codey all the best in his retirement and thank him for his decades of service to New Jersey.”
