NJLRA's Fall Membership Luncheon

Thanks to everyone who came to NJRLA's Fall Membership Luncheon.  It was great to see so many new faces in attendance. 

In case you missed it, NJLRA members heard from surrogates for the Corzine and Christie campaigns about legislative initiatives which may impact the business community and taxpayers alike.  Assemblyman John McKeon (D-West Orange) and Assemblyman Jay Webber (R-Whippany) each articulated their respective candidate's opposition to the "More Lawsuits, Higher Taxes" legislation.  McKeon noted that Governor Corzine vetoed this legislation last year, effectively saving the State and its businesses from being vulnerable to pay unlimited damages in wrongful death cases.  

Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande (R-Freehold), who is a member of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, underscored concerns she had as a new mother about the most qualified doctors choosing to practice in less lawsuit-prone states.
