Holly Schepisi

State Sen. Holly Schepisi, R-River Vale, has certainly had plenty of time to conduct her own due diligence on state Supreme Court nominee Rachel Wainer Apter. Now, a year after Gov. Phil Murphy first nominated the former clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the question looms: Is Schepisi overdoing that due diligence?

The great and the good of NJ politics will descend on Atlantic City this week for the NJ League of Municipalities’ annual conference (aka “the League”), a who’s who of business, government, and politics. By day, potentates, delegates and speakers hit the convention center for networking and to check out the latest goods and services for municipal governments.

Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-River Vale) issued the following statement on the death of longtime State Senator Gerald Cardinale:. “It is with deep sadness that I learned this morning of the passing of my friend and longtime colleague Senator Gerald Cardinale who had been battling an illness. Gerry was a well respected and revered Senator for nearly forty years, fighting for our community and working to make New Jersey a better place to live, work, and retire. I was fortunate to work with him for nearly a decade and will miss his friendship and principled leadership in Trenton. We have lost an icon in our state. Paul and I and our entire family send our love and support to his family, especially his wife Carol and children, during this difficult time.”
