Heat-related deaths spike in NJ during record temperatures

Title: Heat-related deaths spike in NJ during record temperatures
Runtime: 7:53
Date posted: 4 months ago
Description: Twenty-nine New Jerseyans suffered what are believed to be weather-related deaths during a multiday heat wave as temperatures reached as high as 108 degrees.

“We know for sure that at least nine of them were unhoused,” said Connie Mercer, CEO of the New Jersey Coalition to End Homelessness. “And that another three or four of them were in cars, but probably living in their cars, also died a horrible, tragic, avoidable death.”

As another wave grips the state this week, Newark, the state's most populated city, is under a Code Red order by Mayor Ras Baraka. Through 9 p.m. Wednesday, the city is encouraging residents to seek relief at air-conditioned libraries, recreation centers and other sites, and to summon help for unhoused people in distress.

Funding flat for NJ 988 crisis line, and advocates on hunt for more

Title: Funding flat for NJ 988 crisis line, and advocates on hunt for more
Runtime: 7:15
Date posted: 4 months ago
Description: While New Jersey has expanded services for its 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline in recent years, funding has not kept pace. Advocates say they are on a quest to offer more help.

“We received -- just in June alone -- over 10,000 calls to our 988 call centers,” Valerie Mielke, a Department of Human Services deputy commissioner, told NJ Spotlight News. Those in need of help can call, text or chat with the service free of charge. When warranted, trained teams can be dispatched to offer resources in person.

About 28% of New Jersey adults report symptoms of anxiety or depression. Roughly half have been diagnosed with depression, according to state health data.

“We have responded to over 1,300 individuals in just over a year alone,” said Mielke, who oversees a department area that addresses addiction and mental health needs, including the hotline.

NJ is set to drain more than $1 billion from budget reserves in the next year

Title: NJ is set to drain more than $1 billion from budget reserves in the next year
Runtime: 8:41
Date posted: 4 months ago
Description: Maintaining robust budget reserves, often called the surplus, is one thing state lawmakers can do to manage revenue losses that come during economic downturns. In New Jersey, the surplus is often used to support annual spending, as was the case in the spending plan for fiscal year 2027.

Drawing from the surplus gave Gov. Mikie Sherrill and fellow Democrats who control the Legislature the means to cover an increase in annual appropriations that is projected to outpace revenue growth. As a result, New Jersey is set to drain its budget surplus by well over $1 billion in the next year, according to an updated budget summary obtained by NJ Spotlight News.

NJ Spotlight News budget and finance writer John Reitmeyer explains.

Runtime: 8:08
Date posted: 5 months ago
Description: Lawmakers have renewed a longstanding call for reforms to New Jersey's school funding formula.

State Sen. Latham Tiver (R-Burlington) recently testified before the Senate Education Committee in support of legislation that would provide additional state aid to districts that have lost school funding while facing state-imposed development restrictions.

“The Pinelands and the Highlands are pretty much in the same boat,” Tiver said. “We’re asked to preserve land, which is a great thing, but yet these towns aren’t able to broaden their tax base.”

Description: Hey NJ! This week, we're talking about the nation's loneliness epidemic.

In May 2023, then-Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory that revealed about half of U.S. adults reported experiencing loneliness.

As part of NJ PBS' "A Matter of Faith" series, podcast host Manya Brachear Pashman explored what it means to feel alone and how faith, religion and spirituality are driving both the science of belonging and the surprising ways that people are forming meaningful bonds. On this episode of "Hey, NJ," Brachear Pashman shares what she learned talking to medical professionals, community builders and clergy members about rediscovering genuine connection.
