New Jersey’s Plastic Ban: A Confusing and Overreaching Policy Leaves Residents and Businesses Scratching Their Heads

by Breaking Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TRENTON, NJ – Since its implementation on May 4, 2022, New Jersey’s “Get Past Plastic” law has been hailed by some as a bold step toward environmental protection, but for many residents and businesses, it’s a bewildering maze of rules that feels more like bureaucratic overreach than a practical solution.

The law, which bans single-use plastic bags, polystyrene foam food containers, and restricts plastic straws, has sparked widespread frustration due to its complexity, inconsistent enforcement, and questionable effectiveness. A recently uncovered document from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) outlining the ban’s scope only adds fuel to the fire, highlighting the absurdity of a policy that seems to prioritize optics over common sense.

The NJDEP document, titled “List of Establishments and Banned Items,” details the types of businesses affected by the law and the specific items they can no longer provide.

From grocery stores to nail salons, the list is exhaustive, covering 26 categories of establishments, including “retail stores,” “food service businesses,” and even “charitable organizations operating retail.” The banned items include single-use plastic carryout bags, polystyrene foam food service products like cups and takeout containers, and plastic straws, which can only be provided upon customer request. Larger grocery stores (2,500 square feet or more) face an additional restriction: they’re prohibited from offering single-use paper bags, forcing customers to bring reusable bags or purchase them at checkout.

For the average New Jerseyan, the rules are a headache.

“I went to grab a coffee the other day, and they wouldn’t give me a straw unless I asked for one,” said a Jackson resident. “But then I went to a different café, and they handed me a straw without a word. It’s like nobody knows what’s going on.”

The straw-by-request rule, intended to reduce plastic waste, feels arbitrary to many, especially since businesses like nail salons and laundromats—hardly hotbeds of straw distribution—are also subject to the regulation. The NJDEP document confirms that even these unlikely establishments fall under the law’s umbrella, raising eyebrows about its scope.

Business owners are equally exasperated. The ban’s blanket approach doesn’t account for the diverse needs of different industries. “I run a small deli, and I can’t use foam containers anymore,” said Mike, who didn’t want to give his last name. “The alternatives are way more expensive, and customers complain when their food gets soggy in paper containers. Plus, I’m supposed to police straws? It’s ridiculous.”

The NJDEP document lists “food service businesses” broadly, lumping mom-and-pop shops in with chain restaurants, leaving small operators struggling to comply with rules that seem tailored for larger corporations.

The ban on single-use paper bags at larger grocery stores is another sore point. While the law aims to push consumers toward reusable bags, the transition has been rocky.

“I forgot my reusable bag once, and they charged me a dollar for a ‘sustainable’ one that ripped before I got to my car,” said Priya Patel, a shopper in Central Jersey. “Paper bags weren’t perfect, but at least they were recyclable. Now I’m stuck buying overpriced bags I don’t want.”

The NJDEP document offers no clarity on why paper bags were targeted, leaving many to speculate that the law prioritizes symbolic gestures over practical outcomes.

Enforcement is another sticking point. The law empowers local health departments to issue warnings for first offenses, with fines of up to $1,000 for a second offense and $5,000 for subsequent violations. Yet, reports suggest enforcement is spotty at best. A 2023 report noted that nearly 900 inspections in 2022 resulted in just 129 warnings and no fines, suggesting either widespread compliance or a lack of serious oversight.

Critics argue the ban’s environmental benefits are overstated.

A 2024 study by the Freedonia Group found that New Jersey’s shift to reusable bags—often made of non-recyclable polypropylene—has led to a near tripling of plastic consumption at checkouts and a 500% increase in greenhouse gas emissions compared to pre-ban levels. The NJDEP document sidesteps these unintended consequences, focusing instead on the law’s intent to reduce litter. While beach cleanups have shown declines in plastic bags and straws, the broader environmental impact remains murky.

The law’s defenders, including Governor Phil Murphy, insist it’s a necessary step to combat plastic pollution. “Plastic bags are one of the most problematic forms of garbage,” Murphy said at the bill’s signing in 2020.

Environmental groups like Clean Water Action celebrate the ban, estimating it has eliminated over 8 billion plastic bags annually. But for many New Jerseyans, the policy feels like a solution in search of a problem.

As New Jerseyans trudge to stores with their reusable bags, the “Get Past Plastic” law remains a lightning rod for debate. The NJDEP’s document, far from clarifying the rules, underscores the ban’s overreach, ensnaring businesses and consumers in a web of regulations that often defy logic.

Until the state addresses the confusion and inconsistency, New Jersey’s bold experiment in plastic reduction risks being remembered as a well-meaning but ridiculous misstep.

Caught on cam: Suspect opens fire on boy in DC

by Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Local News Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A quiet Sunday evening on Fairmont Street was shattered when a young boy was shot and injured in an armed confrontation that sent neighbors running for cover and police launching a citywide search.

Just after 8 p.m., a male suspect approached a juvenile male in the 1400 block of Fairmont Street NW, displayed a handgun, and opened fire. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment, according to information released Thursday.

The shooter fled the scene immediately after the incident. Surveillance footage shows the suspect moments before the shooting, and the video has since been published by police in an effort to gather tips from the public.

The footage, available at this YouTube link, may be key to identifying the assailant. The suspect’s face is visible, and police hope the video will jog the memory of potential witnesses or community members familiar with the individual.

A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in connection with the case.

Reward offered in violent crime investigation

Tipsters are asked to contact police by calling (202) 727-9099 or texting tips to 50411. Authorities caution the public not to approach or confront the individual.

The incident adds to a growing number of recent gun-related assaults involving minors in the District, raising concern among residents in the Columbia Heights area.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Phil Murphy announces $100 energy credit as rates soar for New Jersey residents

by Breaking Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration is proposing a $430 million plan to issue utility bill credits to New Jersey residents, but the timing and approval process have drawn criticism from Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli.

That comes to a $100 one-time increase for most people and $150 for low-income households. Jack Ciattarelli, who is running to be the next governor, says it’s all too little, and far too late to fix a problem that Phil Murphy’s reckless and failed offshore wind energy agenda created.

Under the proposed plan, about 3.9 million residential ratepayers would receive a $100 credit, with low- and moderate-income residents eligible for an additional $150. The initiative is still pending approval from the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU), which is scheduled to meet June 18.

“We’re taking this step today because the fact is the people of New Jersey are being battered by the rising cost of energy,” Murphy said Wednesday at a press conference in Newark. “You can look all around the country right now… we are not alone. Wholesale electricity prices are up multiples of what they were even a year ago.”

The governor suggested the first round of credits could be distributed in September or October but emphasized the date remains uncertain pending BPU approval. A second $100 payment is under discussion but has not been finalized.

New Jerseyans are facing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in increased electric bills starting this month.

BPU President Christine Guhl Sadovy said residents enrolled in the state’s winter termination program, which prevents utility shutoffs from November 15 to March 15, would qualify for the larger $150 credit.

Ciattarelli calls plan political timing ahead of election

Jack Ciattarelli, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, criticized the proposal as an election-year tactic. In a social media post, he wrote: “If they have $430 million to give, why did they take it from us in the first place?? Had enough? Me too. It all changes when I’m Governor.”

Ciattarelli alleged the timing of the proposed utility relief was designed to coincide with the fall election, saying it is “just before everyone votes in November.”

Ciattarelli has been critical of Murphy’s failed push for offshore wind energy.

The funding source for the $430 million program has not been detailed, and state officials did not clarify whether it would come from surplus funds, federal assistance, or other revenue streams. The Murphy administration has stated the purpose is to help offset rising energy costs amid regional and national price increases.

If approved, the utility relief initiative would be one of the largest direct payment programs tied to energy costs in recent state history.

New Jersey man thought he was hooking up with a young girl, but she was an undercover cop

by Breaking Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TRENTON, NJ – A Burlington County man faces serious charges after allegedly attempting to arrange a sexual encounter with a 12-year-old girl, who turned out to be an undercover police officer, authorities announced Wednesday.

Robert R. Lockwood, 36, of Browns Mills, was charged with first-degree conspiracy to commit human trafficking of a minor, along with second-degree counts of attempted aggravated sexual assault, luring, and attempted endangering the welfare of a child, according to Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ).

The case began on April 7, when an undercover officer, posing as a mother with a 12-year-old daughter, was contacted by Lockwood on a mobile dating app. During text exchanges, Lockwood allegedly expressed interest in “taboo sex,” specifically mentioning “daddy daughter” and “uncle niece” scenarios.

Despite being told the girl was 12, he reportedly requested photos and, over the next month, repeatedly pushed to meet the mother and daughter to engage in sexual acts.

Authorities say Lockwood sent photos of himself and arranged to meet at a Westampton Township hotel on May 14, 2025, where he planned to assault the child while the mother watched. Upon arrival, he was arrested and taken into custody.

“This case exposes a chilling attempt to exploit a child,” said Attorney General Platkin. “Our office is committed to stopping predators and protecting New Jersey’s children through relentless investigations and prosecutions.”

DCJ Director Theresa L. Hilton emphasized the severity of the charges, stating, “Anyone targeting a child will face the full force of the law.” Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, called the charges a stark reminder of the “depraved side of human trafficking” that preys on the vulnerable.

Lockwood faces 10 to 20 years in prison and a $200,000 fine for the first-degree charge, and five to 10 years with a $150,000 fine for each second-degree charge. The case is being prosecuted by DCJ Deputy Attorney General Rob Guarni, under the supervision of Deputy Attorneys General Lisa Rastelli, Laura Magnone, and DCJ Deputy Director Jillian Carpenter.

Burnt weed and bad driving land teen in hot seat

by Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Local News Report

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — A 16-year-old was arrested Wednesday afternoon after allegedly driving under the influence, nearly colliding with several vehicles, and briefly traveling in the wrong direction on Richmond Highway.

At approximately 1:56 p.m., Deputy J.L. Jones spotted an Acura swerving and failing to stay in its lane while patrolling southbound near Rowser Street. The situation escalated as the driver nearly sideswiped multiple cars, prompting Deputy Jones to initiate a traffic stop.

Instead of pulling over, the driver entered the northbound lanes while still heading south. Fortunately, no collisions occurred and the teen eventually returned to the correct lane before stopping the vehicle.

Upon approaching the car, the deputy detected the strong odor of burnt marijuana. The unlicensed teen, who also lacked registration, told the deputy, “I didn’t mean to interrupt your shift.” He was found in possession of two baggies containing a green leafy substance.

Charges filed, teen released to family

Criminal complaints were filed for driving under the influence, driving without a license, operating an unregistered vehicle, eluding police, and underage possession of marijuana. Juvenile Intake declined to detain the teen, and he was released to family members.

Toms River Councilman Accused of Assaulting Disabled Woman During Argument with Former Partner

by Breaking Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Toms River Councilman James Quinlisk is disputing a 2002 police report that accused him of assaulting a woman at the business of his former partner during a dispute at a business in Englishtown.

The incident came to light after a political mailer outlined the charges against him this week.

According to police records, Quinlisk entered the offices of RJP Enterprises in Englishtown on June 6, 2002, and demanded his paycheck from his partner, Christopher McElwre. When he was denied that check, he began aggressively going through the desk of the receptionist and taking a computer disk he claimed belonged to him. He then grabbed a handful of checks and stormed out of the building.

When confronted outside the business by disabled female receptionist, she reported that Quinlisk shoved her out of the way, shoving her twice. He then struck her with the door of his truck as he made his getaway before police arrived. He was also accused of assaulting the disabled employee.

The incident, documented in an Englishtown Police Department report dated Nov. 6, 2002, involved an accusation by Christopher McElwee, who sought to file complaints against Quinlisk for simple assault and reckless driving.

Quinlisk, contacted by Toms River Patch this week, said he had gone to the business because McElwee, his former partner, refused to release his paycheck. He said the disabled woman was blocking his door, which is why he pushed her out of the way twice.

“She tried to prevent me from leaving the parking lot by leaning against my door,” Quinlisk told Patch. “I pulled away slowly.”

The case was dismissed eight days later, on Nov. 14, with only a no-contact order issued against Quinlisk, but police ordered Quinlisk to have no further contact with the women.

Quinlisk described the altercation as a business dispute that escalated unnecessarily and blamed Mayor Dan Rodrick for the report’s resurfacing this week.

Dog fighting ring smashed as final suspect sentenced in Georgia

by Local News Report June 6, 2025
By: Local News Report

ALBANY, Ga. — The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that all 14 individuals convicted in a major federal dog fighting case have now been sentenced, closing a two-year investigation that spanned multiple states and resulted in 343 combined months of prison time.

The case centered on a large-scale dog fighting event disrupted by law enforcement in Donalsonville, Georgia, on April 24, 2022. Authorities responded to a 911 call and discovered an organized operation involving dozens of participants and vehicles used to store injured dogs. Twenty-seven dogs were rescued that night, including one found dying in a blood-stained pit.

Among those sentenced was Donnametric Miller of Donalsonville, who received 100 months. Other sentences ranged from six months of home confinement to nearly three years in prison. Two defendants received time served.

In total, 78 pit bull-type dogs were rescued during the investigation. Law enforcement also seized methamphetamine and multiple phones containing evidence of coordinated dog fighting activities, including videos, photos, text message chains, and fight records. Some of the seized images depicted severe cruelty, including one dog that had been hanged.

Multi-agency operation leads to convictions and animal rescue

The investigation was led by the USDA Office of Inspector General and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from detectives in Bay County, Florida. Prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Environmental Crimes Section and the Middle District of Georgia handled the case.

The U.S. Marshals Service Seized Canine Program cared for the animals during the legal process. The court also ordered restitution for the cost of caring for the rescued dogs.

AMELIA, Ohio — A man from Amelia scored a $500,000 payday after hitting the top prize on his favorite Ohio Lottery scratch-off game, $500,000 Cashword.

The lucky winner purchased the $10 ticket at the Ohio Pike Marathon at 1723 East Ohio Pike, a store he frequents regularly and where he says he’s grown up knowing the employees. After scratching off the ticket and counting the letters, he said he “kind of choked,” then went back inside to confirm the result.

While the winner plays at several locations, he said he often returns to Ohio Pike Marathon because of the people there. He plans to use the winnings to pay off debt and help friends and family.

Three top prizes still available in popular scratch-off game

$500,000 Cashword is a $10 scratch-off game offering multiple top prizes of $500,000. As of June 4, three top prizes remain unclaimed.

Spadea Drumps on Trump: Blames President for New Jersey’s Woes, Says Elon is Right

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

Unmitigated disaster: Spadea slams Trump tariffs, blaming President for New Jersey’s woes.

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Spadea publicly criticized former President Donald Trump’s tariff policy and voiced support for Elon Musk amid a growing rift between the two high-profile figures, signaling a break from Trump just weeks before the state’s Republican primary.

Today, Spadea said, “Elon is right”, taking sides in the battle between the two billionaires.

In a social media post, Spadea wrote, “Elon is right,” in response to the ongoing feud between Trump and Musk, while echoing criticism of Trump’s trade strategy, even blaming the President for problems currently facing New Jersey.

It was a moment that would make even Chris Christie proud of the former AM/FM radio host.

The post also included a quote from political commentator Ian Miles Cheong stating, “They are an unmitigated disaster,” referring to the former president’s tariffs.

Spadea, who had previously campaigned with messaging aligned with Trump-style populism, took issue with the recent impact of tariffs on New Jersey businesses.

“Millions of dollars in products stuck at our ports,” Spadea wrote, referencing a backlog caused by import costs. “Companies… are unable to afford to receive shipments they already borrowed or paid cash for.”

It’s not the first time the candidate, who has been telling his supporters to invest heavily into Trump, dumped Trump when things seemed politically convenient. Spadea called for Trump’s resignation and called him a failed president shortly after the January 6th protest on Capitol Hill.

Now, Musk is calling for Trump to be impeached. Spadea said Elon is right, after the tech billionaire shared a post calling for the impeachment of the President.

While Spadea stated he supports tariffs in principle as a means to counter foreign adversaries and boost U.S. manufacturing, he criticized the implementation under Trump’s approach.

“[Trump’s] fast roll out has hurt many NJ (and others) companies,” he said.

Spadea targets GOP rival as primary nears

Spadea also used the opportunity to attack Republican primary opponent Jack Ciattarelli, calling him “aging, bitter, unprincipled” and claiming he lacks the strength to negotiate with the White House or represent the party effectively.

Spadea’s break with Trump comes as the former president endorsed Ciattarelli on May 12, a move that reshaped the dynamics of the June 10 GOP primary. The endorsement sparked a shift in campaign strategies and donor interest.

By distancing himself from Trump’s economic policy and aligning with Musk, Spadea appears to be recalibrating his platform in the final stretch of the race.

Spadea’s comments are a significant u-turn from his earlier pro-Trump messaging as the Republican primary enters its final days.

Spadea fundraising slows to trickle after Trump backs Ciattarelli in NJ GOP primary

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Spadea has claimed a surge in donations following former President Donald Trump’s May 12 endorsement of his primary opponent, Jack Ciattarelli. But recent campaign finance records filed with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission show little evidence to support that.

Spadea’s May 30 Form G1 report shows he raised $14,779.20 in small-dollar contributions — defined as donations under $200 — during the reporting period. That figure accounts for just 6 percent of the $220,000 Spadea has collected in small-dollar donations throughout the election cycle.

One of those donors, who accounts for more than $2,000 says she’s never even heard of Bill Spadea and not sure why the candidate is billing the elderly Georgia woman’s credit card almost weekly.

While contributions under $200 are not individually itemized, the overall data provides no clear indication of a post-endorsement spike. In comparison, Ciattarelli has raised $258,000 in small-dollar contributions this cycle, outpacing Spadea in the same donor category.

Overall, Spadea raised $74,000 in the latest filing period. Of that amount, $38,300 came from Republican organizations in Ocean County, Right to Life, and candidates for local office — not individual grassroots supporters.

Just $12,671.50 came from individual donors giving less than $1,000 following Trump’s endorsement, a figure that undermines claims of post-endorsement momentum.

Ocean County network drives high-dollar support

While grassroots enthusiasm appears limited, Spadea did receive max-out donations from multiple Republican candidates in Ocean County, including those running for commissioner, council, county clerk, and sheriff positions. Ocean County GOP Chairman George Gilmore is pressuring those candidates to fund Spadea’s campaign. Gilmore is a paid consultant for Spadea’s Common Sense Club organization. Spadea’s bills include monthly payments to Bill Stepien and Tom Bonfonti, two gilmore operatives.

The surge in support from that local political network accounted for over half of his most recent fundraising haul. That regional backing highlights the strength of Spadea’s connections in Ocean County but contrasts sharply with broader donor trends in the state GOP primary.

Campaign filings show Spadea trailing Ciattarelli in key financial categories despite public statements to the contrary. The impact of Trump’s endorsement on the race’s fundraising dynamics appears to have favored Ciattarelli rather than Spadea.

BALTIMORE, MD — A 25-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred early Sunday in the city’s Northeast District, according to the Baltimore Police Department.

Karin Redfern was taken into custody June 1 following the death of 26-year-old Demetri Briscoe. Investigators allege Redfern was involved in a physical altercation with Briscoe that led to the stabbing.

The incident began around 2:04 a.m. in the 3000 block of Westfield Avenue, where police responded to a report of an armed person. Officers located signs of a crime scene but no victim at the location.

Shortly afterward, authorities were alerted that a man suffering from a stab wound had arrived at a nearby hospital. Despite emergency medical efforts, the victim — later identified as Briscoe — was pronounced dead.

Redfern was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where she was charged with first- and second-degree murder.

Investigation points to fight that escalated into fatal attack

Police say the stabbing occurred during a confrontation on Westfield Avenue, and Briscoe was driven to the hospital after being wounded. The investigation remains active as detectives continue reviewing evidence.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Homicide detectives at (410) 396-2100 or submit tips anonymously to Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.

Waldorf lottery vet hits same numbers twice for $100K

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WALDORF, Md. — A Maryland Lottery player from Waldorf hit the jackpot twice in the same night, winning two separate $50,000 prizes in the May 30 Bonus Match 5 drawing.

The longtime player, who asked to remain anonymous, matched all five numbers on two different tickets purchased for the same drawing. He claimed the first $50,000 prize on Wednesday, then returned to Lottery headquarters Thursday to claim the second, totaling $100,000 in winnings.

The winner said he discovered the first win while scanning his ticket at a store. He kept calm, left quietly, and went home to tell his wife the news. He realized later that a second ticket with the same numbers had also hit.

A regular Lottery participant for over 15 years, the player described himself as a veteran who consistently buys tickets throughout the state. While he’s had previous wins, he said this is by far his biggest.

Waldorf retailer rewarded for dual-ticket sale

Both winning tickets were sold at the 7-Eleven located at 3370 Middletown Road in Waldorf. The retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the pair of top-prize tickets.
