Gov. Mikie Sherrill Unveils Housing Strategy to Address Affordability and Increase Supply in New Jersey

Gov. Mikie Sherrill Unveils Housing Strategy to Address Affordability and Increase Supply in New Jersey

Gov. Mikie Sherrill has introduced a comprehensive five-part housing strategy aimed at increasing housing production and lowering costs across New Jersey. The plan seeks to double planned development on state-owned land to 40,000 homes, establish clear deadlines for permit decisions, and simplify the application process for affordable housing. Speaking at the 30th annual Governor’s Conference on Housing and Economic Development in Atlantic City, Sherrill emphasized the need for over 350,000 new homes in the next decade to meet current demand and accommodate future generations. The strategy, informed by recommendations from the Housing Governing Council, which Sherrill established in April, also focuses on redeveloping underused properties, expanding homeownership assistance, and combating unfair housing practices. The administration plans to introduce a 'shot clock' for permit applications to ensure more predictable timelines for builders and has already reduced backlogs for key housing-related permits in ...

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Launches Initiative to Modernize Clinical Trials with UT Austin Partnership

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a new federal initiative called SURPASS (Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials) aimed at transforming clinical trials in the United States. This program, unveiled in Austin, Texas, on September 30, 2026, seeks to accelerate the development of new drugs and biologics by utilizing advanced computational models, real-time analysis, shared infrastructure, and automation. The goal is to make clinical trials faster, more cost-effective, and less burdensome for patients. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through its Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), is spearheading this effort. Secretary Kennedy emphasized that the current system is too slow, expensive, and demanding on patients. As part of this initiative, UT Austin's Dell Medical School will serve as a key academic partner for two complementary projects: STACK, which aims to expand the number of research sites capable of conducting clinica...

Gov. Sherrill Seeks to Strengthen Ties with South Jersey, Addresses Regional Concerns

Gov. Sherrill Seeks to Strengthen Ties with South Jersey, Addresses Regional Concerns

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is actively working to rebuild and strengthen communication and trust with South Jersey municipalities and legislators, a region that has historically felt overlooked by the state administration. District One Assemblymen Antwan McClellan and Erik Simonsen have noted improved communication from Sherrill's team compared to previous administrations. Sherrill acknowledged this historical disconnect during her campaign and has made it a priority to be present in South Jersey. She has appointed Kelly Doucette as the state's first chief operating officer to ensure better coordination among state departments like Transportation, Environmental Protection, and Community Affairs, with Doucette and other commissioners making multiple visits to Cape May County. While communication pathways have been established, Simonsen emphasizes the need for direct action to follow these conversations. Key issues being addressed include the delayed Resilient Environments and Landscapes (REAL) rule, par...

U.S. Emphasizes Resilient Industrial Base for Transatlantic Defense Cooperation

U.S. Emphasizes Resilient Industrial Base for Transatlantic Defense Cooperation

At the IISS Prague Defence Summit, DASW James M. underscored the critical role of a resilient and growing industrial base in underpinning transatlantic defense cooperation. He highlighted that military advantage is not solely dependent on battlefield performance but also on industrial capacity, procurement speed, and America's innovation and production leadership. The Smaller War Plants Commission was noted as a reflection of the current U.S. administration's commitment to industrial mobilization, supplier depth, and the contributions of small businesses to defense readiness. DASW Mismash also engaged with Jakub Landovský, Deputy Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic, to reaffirm their shared commitment to a robust transatlantic defense industrial base, explore onshoring opportunities for Czech firms in the U.S., and discuss acquisition transformation. The U.S. Embassy in Prague and Ambassador Nicholas Merrick were acknowledged for their support during the visit, reinforcing the idea that strong allian...

Representative Glenn Grothman Reintroduces Cancer Drug Parity Act to Address Oral Chemotherapy Costs

Representative Glenn Grothman Reintroduces Cancer Drug Parity Act to Address Oral Chemotherapy Costs

Representative Glenn Grothman (R, Wisconsin) has reintroduced the Cancer Drug Parity Act (H.R. 4101). This proposed legislation aims to amend the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) to ensure that self-funded employer health plans provide no-less-favorable cost-sharing for oral anticancer drugs compared to intravenous (IV) anticancer drugs. The reintroduction follows a September 15 House Oversight subcommittee hearing where witnesses highlighted significant disparities in out-of-pocket costs for oral chemotherapy. Dr. Sheetal M. Kircher of Northwestern University presented research indicating that patients facing over $500 in out-of-pocket costs were four times more likely to abandon oral cancer treatment than those paying $100 or less. While 43 states and the District of Columbia have oral chemotherapy parity laws, these laws do not apply to self-funded employer plans, which fall under federal ERISA regulations, creating a gap in coverage equity.
