Citizens today will get a chance to tell New Jersey lawmakers how they’d solve the state’s woes. Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and Republican Leader Alex DeCroce are co-hosting a public hearing from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Statehouse. Oliver said lawmakers know the problems, but want to hear firsthand the public’s ideas for solutions. DeCroce said the forum is an example of democracy in action. Citizens wishing to testify should make a reservation with the Legislative Budget and Finance Office at 609/292-8030 or by e-mailing [email protected].
