I have been a harness racing fan from the 80's. Lived 2 minutes from the Meadowlands and would stop down to watch the horses when that place was packed. Would also make trips to Freehold as my dads friend had horses. It was fun and exciting back then and its very sad to watch how the chemists have ruined the sport. Hope it can somehow get turned around

I have Celiac and it has been so hard to get allergen information on medications. Most physicians tell you to ask the pharmacy, the pharmacy tells you to call the manufacturer, and the manufacturer just gives you a CYA statement that doesn't tell you anything. It is scary to take medicine not knowing if it will help or instead actually make you feel worse than before because it contains a hidden allergen. We require allergens to be listed on most foods, so shouldn't we require it for medications too? I hope this bill passes so people with allergens can determine what medications are safe for us.
I have a homeless person in my neighborhood that was a former prom king before his diagnosis of schizophrenia left his future in ruins. He now either spends his time wandering listlessly around the neighborhood or in jail. A permanent and appropriate shelter where he can exist without being a danger to himself and others would be mutually beneficial to all parties involved.
