A story is out this morning about a botched execution in Tennessee. We litigated over lethal injection in NJ and got this decision in 2004 from Judge Sylvia Pressler imposing a moratorium. An imprnt step in our decision to abolish the death penalty here. caselaw.findlaw.com/court/nj…
A 2023 law makes NJ Dept of Human Services responsible for ensuring towns comply with the law on opioid $. DHS's answer is that towns police themselves. We care about opioid deaths right up until home rule and free money for local goodies get in the way. nj.com/news/2026/08/the-shoc…
We must challenge it head on.
This from @jerseyvindy is worth a read if you wonder why it is that we spend billions on nursing homes but have no idea where it goes and how much becomes profit by nursing home owners siphoning excessive profits.

Kevin Walsh retweeted
Statement from Attorney General Davenport on Victory in Live Nation Antitrust Trial.
These disclosures should ask who gets money from insurance brokers and nursing home owners. The corruption and amount of public money in those two areas justify special transparency and scrutiny.
Ben Landa, Trump's nominee to be Ambassador to Hungary, owns two nursing homes in NJ.

1 month after Trump nominated Landa, who owns >100 nursing homes, for Ambassador to Hungary, the President's own agency estimated his facility received over $31 million in excess taxpayer $$ via Medicare.
Landa then sued the gov.
It's just the beginning.

Inspection reports for Silver Healthcare are available online. Deficiencies L, K and J are the most serious and indicate immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety, meaning residents affected are at risk of serious injury, harm, impairment or death.

It has a two-star rating now, so still below average, but for a longtime Silver Healthcare in Cherry Hill, was one of the worst rated nursing homes in NJ.

I’m excited to share that I’m joining the law firm Langer Grogan & Diver P.C. After more than two decades working to hold government and corporations accountable, I’m looking forward to continuing that work in private practice.
