Rep. Watson Coleman Announces $3.9 Million in Investments in Trenton Infrastructure
Ewing, NJ (July 16, 2021) – Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) announced the passage of two targeted infrastructure projects for the City of Trenton through the House Appropriations Committee. Along with the previously passed Route 29 Tunnel Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) project these initiatives constitute significant infrastructure improvements.
This year, the Appropriations and T&I Committees accepted funding requests from House members for district specific local projects. Rep. Watson Coleman worked with local leaders in the 12th District to identify and submit important improvement projects.
The projects include:
$2.4 million to make necessary safety and ventilation improvements to the Route 29 Tunnel to allow for its use by commercial trucks that are currently forced to reroute through nearby residential neighborhoods.
$500 thousand for public safety and beautification improvements – including lighting and murals – along the heavily utilized pedestrian and bicycle passage between the Trenton Transit Center and downtown Trenton providing important safety improvements to this heavily utilized walkway.
$1 million for flood mitigation and restoration at the historic Trenton Fishing Wharf Park and reestablish riverfront access points. Improvements include green stormwater management systems to mitigate flooding and the rehabilitation of the surrounding public park.
“Providing the 12th District with the resources it needs to flourish is one of my greatest responsibilities as our representative in Congress,” said Rep. Watson Coleman. “These projects, as well as others secured for the district, are an important part of the Biden Administration’s push to Build Back Better. Together with our local leaders we’re setting Trenton and the 12th District on a path to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and forge ahead stronger than ever.”
“Between flood mitigation, public safety improvements and other critical infrastructure projects, we are beyond grateful for the hard work of our congresswoman in securing these funds for our capital city,” said Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes. “These projects will improve the quality of life for countless Trentonians and set Mercer County as a whole on a secure path toward the future.”
"Trenton families deserve to live without the hazards and nuisance of heavy trucks and the air pollution that comes with the truck traffic," said State Senator Shirley Turner (D-Mercer/Hunterdon). "The Route 29 tunnel was heralded as the solution to get heavy trucks off of local roads, but because of its design failure, trucks are restricted from using the tunnel. I am grateful that our Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman has accomplished this important first step to fix the problem and answered our call to get the traffic off of local roads and address an issue of environmental justice that is affecting the quality of life of our residents. I am looking forward to working with our federal delegation to secure the funding."
“The transformative projects that our congresswoman secured will help put the Capital City in a better place,” said Trenton Mayor W. Reed Gusciora. “Combined they will divert heavy trucks out of our residential streets, bolster flood protection by restoring a centerpiece of our historic waterfront and make our transit center neighborhood safer and more welcoming for the thousands of commuters who travel in and out of Trenton every day. I have no doubt that this funding will fundamentally improve the quality of life for one of New Jersey’s most diverse and economically challenged communities.”
These projects now head to the House Floor and are expected to pass during the week of July 26th. In addition to the previously passed projects under the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee’s H.R. 3684 INVEST in America Act, these bills head to the Senate where they await further consideration.
Rep. Watson Coleman Expresses Disappointment with Biden Administration Decision to Return To Prison Inmates on Home Confinement
Washington, DC (July 20, 2021) – Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) issued a statement following reporting that the Biden administration has approved the return of thousands of federal convicts who were previously released to home confinement to reduce the spread of Covid-19 after the official state of emergency ends. The decision upholds a last-minute Trump administration memo ordering those released back to prison.
“This is an extremely disappointing decision,” said Watson Coleman. “It directly conflicts with President Biden’s commitments to criminal justice reform and the overall reduction of our prison population. In order to accomplish those goals we have to prioritize alternatives to incarceration and replace it with other strategies wherever possible. The unanticipated reprieve brought on by Covid-19 proved it is possible to safely reduce the prison population. Meanwhile, these inmates have shown to be contributing members of society, improving the wellbeing of their families and communities.
“The United States incarcerates more people than any other country, negatively impacting our moral standing in the world. It is a sign of a deeply unhealthy society to continue to spend tens of billions of dollars a year on incarceration while over 10 million children live in poverty, 1.4 million veterans are at risk of homelessness, and nearly 30 million Americans are underinsured. Today’s decision by the Biden administration is a failure to address the overpopulation crisis in a way that does not require Congress or the Courts. In this respect, this action is both cruel and unnecessary.”
On April 8th and May 27th of this year Congresswoman Watson Coleman sent bipartisan letters to President Biden and Attorney General Garland respectively, calling on them to officially rescind the Trump era memo noting:
…These individuals have not only shown that they can be contributing members of society, they've laid bare the fact that we are imprisoning far too many people in this country. Attorney General Garland should reverse the Justice Department Memo and give thousands of families the peace of mind of knowing their loved ones will not be taken away from them.
The decision of the Biden administration applies to about 4,000 nonviolent inmates.

Canadian policy on Venezuela, Haiti reveals hypocrisy that media ignores. February 19, 2019. Yves Engler. (SHARE).
Unlike Venezuela, Haiti is not divided. Basically, everyone wants the current “president” to go. While the slums have made that clear for months, important segments of the establishment (Reginald Boulos, Youri Latortue, Chamber of Commerce, etc) have turned on Jovenel Moïse. Reliable polling is limited, but it’s possible 9 in 10 Haitians want President Moïse to Resign....

"Never in the century-plus history of world weather observation have so many all-time heat records fallen by such a large margin."
The system of white supremacy/racism allows this to go on year after year. City, county, state and federal officials have done nothing to bring this situation under control. Can you imagine white officials allowing this at a white highrise? No you can't. Where are the inspectors, where are the lawyers?

China is shaking them up- hooray China
China announced an ambitious plans to land humans on Mars by 2033! Its plan is extensive and impressive, but lofty goals don't equate to success.
Why don't Democratic mayor take this violence seriously and find the solutions?
"Unfortunately, Chicago is not unique," the Chicago mayor said. "We are part of a club of cities to which no one wants to belong, cities with mass shootings."
China is making huge gains in technology and the military, will they be the one to take down the system of white supremacy/racism? We can hope.

They break into and enter the bank.
At long last Trenton's Finest finally made an appearance in the city of Trenton. They didn't take a back seat to State Police and other municipal police departments, they simply were not there for Trenton's citizens. Where were they? They know Trenton and her citizens better than anybody else. Why weren't they in the forefront? The Mayor and Police Director have questions to answer. Interviews with some of Trenton's really great young people.
They continue to destroy property with no police challenge. They may have served this night but they certainly did not protect. Most of this destruction was avoidable. In this video they actually take down two banks. It's amazing that with hundreds of police just feet away that this much chaos was allowed to go on. The police did not have to harm or arrest anyone, all they had to do was move a few men down the street and all of this could have been avoided.
The police finally move in. After watching the destruction at the Roebling building from about 75 ft away. Why they just stood there and allowed this to happen is questionable. At its heights there were no more than 40 protesters. Whenever there was any police presence the protesters moved on and dispersed. So why they allowed destruction of property to go on is a mystery. There is still no sight of Trenton's police.
The police State and Warren watched as windows are broken at the Roebling building. The police finally moved to stop the destruction. In just a few minutes both banks on W State will be broken into and ramsacked. Then inside the PSEG building a fire is started. All this while the police just laid back and let it all happen. Our next video will show that destruction.
There were virtually no Trenton police downtown tonight. Most of the police were State Police. There was a contingent from Bucks County which came with an armored vehicle. Ewing and Lawrence police made a presence but very few Trenton Police were downtown. Just about all the police were white. It was unbelievable so few police were men of color
