New Jersey and the nation were close to a massive victory in Washington, D.C. Two weeks ago, the House of Representatives, with support from Democrats and Republicans, was about to give final approval to an infrastructure bill that would send long-delayed money — billions of dollars — to states and towns across America to fix crumbling roads, bridges and mass transit systems.
What did we get instead?
The same thing we get on our roads and at our train stations: Delays. Gridlock. Frustration.

New Jersey employers have been dealing with many distinct crises during the COVID-19 pandemic, including government-mandated shutdowns, a labor shortage as the economy reopens, the ongoing need for financial resources and, now, uncertainty as the Delta variant and perhaps other variants loom.
We applaud the tireless effort and the leadership of Rep. Josh Gottheimer to push forward the $1 trillion federal infrastructure bill, passage of which is critical to New Jersey's economic recovery. The legislation has passed the U.S. Senate. We now urge the U.S. House of Representatives to pass it swiftly so the president can sign it and get $12 billion in infrastructure money flowing to New Jersey for roads, bridges, rail and the long-sought Gateway tunnel under the Hudson River. We encourage New Jersey's House delegation to support this bill. The longer our elected leaders wait to pass this legislation, the more our roads, bridges, and highways will deteriorate.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce and 36 local and regional chambers throughout the state are urging employers to host on-site vaccine clinics for their employees and their families. Further, the chambers of commerce themselves – all of which are members of the New Jersey Chamber Alliance – plan to host a series of pop-up vaccine clinics in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Health, and will be urging their employees and their member company employees to get vaccinated.
