A coronavirus cluster in Monmouth County has been linked to a party in Middletown in which about 20 young adults were infected with COVID-19. Those infected are between the ages of 15 and 19.

The state Senate Commerce Committee and the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee advanced a measure to impose a state tax on health insurers. The $300 million raised through a 2.75% “health insurance assessment” would subsidize the cost of coverage for small businesses and individuals who buy their own policies as well as boosting a fund protecting insurers from extremely large claims. The Record

Small businesses struggling during the coronavirus pandemic in a few dozen New Jersey towns can apply to receive up to $10,000 in federal grants. The emergency commercial rent assistance program will disburse $6 million in federal CARES Act funding to small businesses that qualify in 64 municipalities. Gov. Phil Murphy said helps businesses as well as property owners who will be able to collect rent. NJ.com

Gov. Phil Murphy dismissed criticism from Chris Christie on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic in New Jersey. Murphy responded to Chris Christie’s comments that the Murphy Administration prioritized public workers over the state’s small businesses and should have provided more money to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) to offer relief to small businesses. “Frankly, I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry that he’s invoking the EDA…which was a piggy bank for special interests under his leadership, big companies at the absolute expense of small companies,” Murphy remarked.

Chris Christie’s lobbying firm pulled in $240,000 in less than three months attempting to secure coronavirus aid from the Trump administration . The company worked on behalf of three New Jersey hospital systems and a Tennessee-based chain of addiction treatment centers. PoliticoNJ

The New Jersey Attorney General is expected to ask a judge to give at least seven counties an extension to count votes for the July 7 primary election. The counties still have huge numbers of provisional ballots to count, including more than 17,000 in Monmouth and 14,000 in Middlesex, while in Bergen County, 385 of 754 cure letters mailed had been returned as of July 22. New Jersey Globe

The U.S. Postal Service said it cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or alter standards to comport with individual state election laws, predicting a high probability that some ballots would not be delivered prior to the Nov. 3 election. The USPS recommends election officials send, and voters request, ballots at least 15 days before an election; that voters mail their ballots at least a week before the due date; and that voters, if unsure, should ask about vote-by-mail deadlines.

Hoboken’s City Council overrode the mayor’s veto to approve a yearly $52 bicycle parking program. The bike program creates a permitting process for those who want to store their bicycles in designated areas within any city garage. The Jersey Journal
