Environmentalist lauds N.J. bill restricting phosphorus in cleaning products

New Jersey passed a bill to toughen penalties for inciting brawls at public gatherings. It’s part of an effort to stop chaotic shore pop-up parties.

A N.J. Assembly committee approved bills to give residents better access to affordable housing information, and keep renters from getting evicted.

The bill prohibits the intentional release of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gases and intentionally leaving tethered balloons unattended.
