On today's 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on our nation, I am remembering the lives lost, the heros who stepped forward, and the stregth and unity that brought communities together. Let us never forget.

On September 16, Assemblywoman Andrea Katz, in partnership with the BPU, and partner organizations, is hosting a Utility Assistance Day at the Burlington County Library in Westampton, providing individuals and families with information on available programs that provide financial relief to help offset the cost of utility bills.

"As families continue to struggle with rising utility costs, I want to make sure people know the resources available to help," said Assemblywoman Katz (D-Burlington). "This event brings everyone to the table so residents can learn what programs they qualify for, get help navigating the application process, and connect with the relief they need to make ends meet."

The event will take place on Wednesday, September 16, from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Burlington County Library, 5 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton, NJ 08060.

To apply for assistance, attendees must bring:

3. Proof of address (copy of rental lease or housing authority letter). If you are a homeowner, please bring a tax bill, mortgage statement, or deed.
4. All pages of electric, natural gas, or heating bills.

Thanks to the Community Eligibility Program through the NJ Office of Food Security, every student gets a healthy meal at school, no exceptions, no excuses. Because a hungry kid trying to focus on fractions is a losing battle, and no child should have to fight it.

A good meal does double duty. It fuels their body and it gives them lunch with their friends, which turns out to matter almost as much as the calories.

Every child deserves a fair opportunity at a bright future, and sch...

Early start to the day for the Peter J McGuire Labor Day Observance and Scholarship Breakfast. Always great getting to spend time with the men and women in labor. When labor isn’t at the table, middle class families are the ones who pay for it. Huge congratulations to Helen Ireland on the George E Norcross Humanitarian Award, well deserved.

Great day with Rutgers Football at SHI Stadium. Fun fact: Rutgers doesn’t just run the ball, they run the Rutgers Cooperative Ag Extension stations helping farmers across our state test new tech and grow smarter. Turns out the Scarlet Knights and South Jersey growers have a lot in common: both know how to build something great from the ground up.

It was great to see Rutgers President William Tate, Lepore, Braz, and Amin

Just spoke to legislators and mental health advocates from across the country about protecting our kids from Big Tech’s addictive platforms. Here’s what I know: Washington won’t act. States will.

Meta has now admitted they have known all along that they were harming our kids. Through the recent landmark settlement, Meta will make changes to the addictive features on their platform and they will pay financially to help undo some of the damage they have done. Legislatures across this country are making sure that accountability translates into real protections and mental health services our kids need. That’s democracy working right now.

Our kids can’t wait for Washington. So we’re not waiting either.

Congratulations to Evesham Township on the expansion of the Evesham Branch Library! Libraries are more than the books they hold, they give us spaces where people can connect and build community. Thank you to the Burlington County Library System and the NJ Legislature for helping make it happen.

I got to pet ALL the animals at the annual Burlington County Clear the Shelter Open House! I almost took a few of the dogs home with me, but I settled for plenty of pets, belly rubs, and laughs. I also got to dunk Director Haines! It was a great day supporting the amazing work being done by incredible people to help these animals find their forever homes.
