‘Blue Lives Matter’ bill heading to Louisiana governor’s desk

People who target police, firefighters and other first responders in Louisiana soon could face enhanced penalties when they commit crimes against them — just as they would for targeting someone based on their race, religion or gender. In a swift 33-3 vote, the state Senate on Tuesday gave final approval to a bill that would add cops, firemen and other first responders to the list of protected classes under the state’s hate crime law.

Flem-Rar (NJ) First Aid & Rescue Squad Plans Move

The Flemington-Raritan First Aid and Rescue Squad will be moving to a new site in the the township. It is currently at 26 Route 12 in Flemington, where it has been bursting out of its quarters with temporary structures like a tent and a trailer housing vehicles and equipment.
The new site covers slightly more than 10 acres, with some of that space restricted because high tension lines run through about a third of the property. It is at 29 Royal Road in Raritan Township, directly across from Colony Road.
