📰 News we're reading
• They Steal Our Sidewalks: Union City's Sidewalk Parking Problem Reaches New Levels (shorenewsnetwork.com) — Guttenberg residents should know the town already bans cars from blocking sidewalks and imposes a $65 fine for violations, similar to neighboring Kearny. A detailed look at Union City shows how widespread sidewalk parking can endanger pedestrians, especially wheelchair users and parents with strollers, and raises questions about how consistently these rules are enforced across Hudson County. 
• Hudson County Rally Calls on Lawmakers to Pass Polluters Pay Act (foodandwaterwatch.org) — Guttenberg has officially joined other Hudson County towns in passing a resolution urging state lawmakers to approve the Polluters Pay Act, which targets major fossil fuel companies to fund climate resilience. Local officials say the bill could shift flood and heat-related costs off taxpayers, bring billions for infrastructure upgrades, and create thousands of jobs across New Jersey.
