Title: As advocates push small fee for NJ 988 crisis line, foes see new tax
Runtime: 7:30

Description: Even with mental health awareness on the rise, New Jersey bears a sad statistic: More than 650 residents took their lives in 2025. That's at least 12 more than the previous year, and the first uptick in such deaths since 2022, according to provisional data from state Department of Health.

Lawmakers in Trenton, seeking to help those with mental health issues, are renewing their push for a permanent revenue source to operate New Jersey's 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The money would come from a 40-cent monthly fee on telephone bills. The legislation to enact the charge stalled during the most recent lame duck session.

Runtime: 1:31
Date posted: 8 months ago
Description: The New Jersey Turnpike Authority will replace the Newark Bay Bridge without a major widening that was feared by environmentalists, civic groups and mass-transit advocates.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who announced the $6.7 billion project on Tuesday, said the Vincent R. Casciano Bridge will be demolished and rebuilt with four lanes, rather than the eight included in original plans. The National Transportation Safety Board last year had included the link, also known as the Newark Bay Bridge and the Turnpike Extension Bridge, among 68 spans nationwide with a potentially higher than acceptable collapse risk.

Blizzard ‘likely not last snowfall of the season,’ NJ climatologist says

Title: Blizzard ‘likely not last snowfall of the season,’ NJ climatologist says
Runtime: 5:11
Date posted: 9 months ago
Description: The blizzard that socked parts of New Jersey with 30 inches of snow this week marks a return to a more active winter, weather experts say.

“January and February are typically the snowiest months,” New Jersey State Climatologist Dave Robinson said. “But March can still bring significant storms, so this is likely not the last snowfall of the season.”

Looming NJ nurse shortage leads to more classes, loan aid for faculty

Title: Looming NJ nurse shortage leads to more classes, loan aid for faculty
Runtime: 5:35
Date posted: 9 months ago
Description: New Jersey is facing a potential shortage of 25,000 nurses by 2036, and leaders in the profession say they're looking at a range of solutions to avert a crisis.

Nationally, demand for registered and licensed practical nurses is expected to exceed supply by 9%, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. In New Jersey, the projected shortage is far more startling, at 25%, the federal data show. That's an ongoing result of the pandemic, according to Peggy Farrell Daingerfield, president of the New Jersey State Nurses Association.

Gateway funding restored, but is project still on track? I Reporters Roundtable

Title: Gateway funding restored, but is project still on track? I Reporters Roundtable
Runtime: 21:28
Date posted: 9 months ago
Description: On Reporters Roundtable, Joanna Gagis talks with Aliya Schneider with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Jelani Gibson with NJ.com and Max Pizzaro with Insider NJ about the ongoing fight over Gateway funding. This week, after a judge ordered the federal government to release $205 million in funding, President Donald Trump said the project would be “financially catastrophic for the region.” So, what comes next for the largest public-works program in the Western Hemisphere?

The panel also discusses the latest updates on federal immigration enforcement activity in New Jersey, the debate over legislation to strengthen immigrant protections and what some municipalities are doing to limit ICE activity in their communities.

Title: Why did the Department of Homeland Security shut down?
Runtime: 8:32
Date posted: 9 months ago
Description: The Department of Homeland Security is on its fourth day without a funding agreement, and lawmakers don’t seem any closer to reaching a deal.

During recent budget negotiations, congressional Democrats demanded cuts for the department, which oversees ICE and Customs and Border Control, over immigration enforcement practices that have divided the nation. With Republicans and Democrats at an impasse, the department was forced to shut down. Immigration operations, though, are largely unaffected and essential employees are forced to work with no pay.

So what happens next? NJ Spotlight News' Washington, D.C., Correspondent Benjamin J. Hulac explains.
