NJ Gov. Sherrill declares electricity emergency, orders rapid clean-power buildout

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill declared a statewide emergency over rising electricity costs, freezing rate increases and ordering a swift build-out of solar, battery storage, and other clean-energy resources, plus reforms to interconnection rules and a Nuclear Power Task Force, while directing agencies to fast-track energy projects to prevent brownouts as demand from data centers and PJM grid pressures push prices higher.

Sherrill takes New Jersey helm, pledges affordability and a stand against Trump

Mikie Sherrill was sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th governor and immediately issued executive orders to curb rising utility costs and expand energy supplies, framing her term as a push for affordability and a bulwark against Trump-era policies. The former congresswoman also faces a looming budget deficit of more than $1 billion as she charts a course with running mate Dale Caldwell, who was sworn in as secretary of state, with the inauguration held in Newark to emphasize outreach to diverse communities.

Murphy veto blocks codification of NJ’s immigrant protections

Outgoing New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy vetoed a package that would codify permanent restrictions on state/local cooperation with ICE, saying the bills could undermine protections for immigrant communities; the Immigrant Trust Directive remains in effect and will likely continue under incoming Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill, who has signaled tweaks may come. The vetoes blocked NJ A6310 (24R) and A6309 (24R) while Murphy signed A6308 (24R) directing the attorney general to publish model policies for sensitive sites. A6310 would have made 287(g) agreements permanent and tightened data-sharing restrictions, but Murphy warned the measure could invite new court challenges. Immigration groups criticized the move; the dispute comes amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE following a Minnesota shooting.
