Our Guest Speaker - Senator Michael Testa
Our guest speaker was Senator Michael Testa. Senator Testa addressed the club offering insights into many of the initiatives he is working on in the state legislature. Some of his focuses are tourism, energy, education and supporting small business. Job creation is important, but what NJ needs is career development One of the senator's main concerns is the bringing the state budget under control. He provided many examples of "wasteful" projects that strain the budget and waste taxpayer dollars.
