This budget provision is a giveaway to the nursing home industry and will make quality of care worse. We have the chance to protect residents and make NJ less corrupt. But instead the Legislature is giving more money to one of the most corrupt industries in NJ.
A last-minute provision in the State budget, due to be passed Monday, requires NJ to continue funding the lowest-rated nursing homes. (See p. 159) OSC reports have shown these Medicaid-funded nursing homes maximize profits by providing subpar care.

My office’s report showed that Street Cop’s training promoted likely illegal tactics, glorified violence, and demeaned women and minorities. We recommended that all officers who attended the 2021 training be retrained. That will happen.
