Jersey City Cuts Hit HHS and Seniors | Jersey News

Jersey City’s council is sounding the alarm over sweeping provisional layoffs in the Department of Health and Human Services, where eight staffers were let go — the highest in any department — amid steep budget cuts. Council members are pushing back on cuts to senior programs, questioning why a bus driver was axed while an underperforming in-house role was created. With clinics now closing at 4 PM and health education services slashed, the city is scrambling to balance fiscal realities with essential services. Officials say civil service rules drove the layoffs, but the council demands transparency and public input on how to prioritize spending — especially as grants may offset some costs and departments restructure to cut waste.

IDEAMIA vs Election Integrity Claims | Jersey News

New Jersey’s voter registration glitch? Not a software bug — it’s a state data handling mess. IDEMIA, the contractor behind the system, says their tool just collects self-reported info and never verifies citizenship — that’s the state’s job. Politicians are using the incident to fuel election fraud fears, but officials say no votes were cast improperly and flagged names have been removed. The DOJ is now investigating, while IDEMIA insists they followed state requests and never made errors — the real issue? How New Jersey handled the data after it came in.
