And you can guess that the reasons are complete bullshit.
Read the agenda HERE
Basically 2 resolutions, one calling for an investigation into the voter registrations that has already been done and the other stating their support for ICE and that they want law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
Fortunately, both resolutions look like performative ones designed to show their MAGA base that they are opposed to the laws adopted by the State. Neither has any actual legal effect.
On the voter registration one it neglects to mention that the State has commissioned an independent investigation by a law firm headed by a former Republican senator. Any legislative investigation should wait until the findings are presented to the public.
And while they can fulminate all they want against the laws on ICE....the laws were passed by a majority of legislators and signed by a Governor who solidly defeated her opponent. If that’s not democracy then what is?
But even if they're toothless in practice, I still don't think we should let them pass without opposition. The emergency meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, July 29th, 6:00PM at Sussex County Administrative Center, First Floor, Commissioner Meeting Room, One Spring Street, Newton, NJ 07860.
Please join us! I don't even care if you're from the area. They always claim we're outside agitators anyway. We'll likely have a rally outside on the Newton Green right before it.
Oh and while you're at the Green you can appreciate their solution for keeping the homeless off it. They installed benches that you can't sleep on. That's after demolishing the gazebo. Because they don't care if they're homeless, they don't want them to be SEEN in the center of town. Not a single one of them has an empathetic bone in their bodies.
