Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the hardworking men and women across our great nation who show up every day to serve our communities, support local businesses, and provide for their families.

Their hard work is what makes communities like Atlantic County strong and such special places to call home. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday spent with family and friends.

It's always great to have the opportunity to check in on some of the amazing programs and opportunities being offered to our Atlantic County youth at the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township & Atlantic County.

The EHTPAL is a great example of what can be accomplished when the public and private sectors work together. Along with Assemblyman Don Guardian, I was proud to advocate for state funding to expand these programs, and with additional support from Ocean, Inc. and OceanFirst Bank, we saw firsthand how those investments can make a real difference in the lives of these young people.

Great work to all involved!

“No amount of money is going to replace the fact that we are going to lose thousands of jobs,” Polistina said. “The impact that having that would have on the retail sector, on the housing sector — we've already lived through having the highest foreclosure rate in the nation. We absolutely do not want to go back there.”

Today was truly a memorable moment and a great example of what can happen when community partners come together and work as one, for the benefit of all.

Alongside Assemblyman Don Guardian, I was honored to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new MBCA AC Park at North Carolina and Pacific Avenues. This park will serve as a location for residents and visitors alike to meet, gather and enjoy!

There are too many partners to list, but I was beyond proud to join them and play a small role in making this vision a reality. Once again, hats off to Scott Cronick and all those who had a hand in amazing project!

REMINDER:

2026 NJ Property Tax Relief Applications

New Jersey’s 2026 property tax relief filing season is underway, and eligible residents should make sure they don’t miss the November 2, 2026 deadline.

🏠 PAS-1: Seniors 65+ and residents receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement disability benefits can use one application to apply for Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ.

🏡 ANCHOR: Most eligible homeowners and renters under 65 will have their applications automatically filed. Notices of auto-filing began being mailed on August 10, 2026. If you are not auto-filed, you can submit an application online or by mail.

Applications can be filed online through New Jersey’s official property tax relief website, or by paper application where applicable. Remember—eligible seniors and disabled residents must file the PAS-1 themselves; it is not automatically filed for them.

For eligibility requirements, filing instructions and to apply, visit the NJ Division of Taxation’s property tax relief website. NJ Property Tax Relief Information & Filing

If you need assistance with filing or have any questions about the process, feel free to call Assemblyman Don Guardian and I at our legislative office at 609-677-8266

Congratulations to AtlantiCare on the opening of their new inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Galloway Township.

Through their partnership with Select Medical, the new 60 bed hospital will provide increased access to specialized rehabilitation care here in Atlantic County.

The work being done through these types of partnerships are not only changing outcomes for patients, but are also changing the future of this community.
