New Jersey Governor Vetos Bill That Seeks To Help Veterans With Insurmountable Legal Troubles

TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy today vetoed a bill that could have helped many military veterans and active duty servicemembers navigate their way through complex legal problems.

Bill 1388 would have established a pro bono legal representation program to provide legal representation to active-duty service members and veterans of the military in various areas of civil law, including employment law, estate planning, and family law.

Murphy said the state doesn’t have enough resources to provide the service.
 
“Military service members often face civil legal issues that create various obstacles to their health and financial stability,” Murphy said. “I fully support ensuring service members are aware of available resources and can readily access them, including legal representation, especially in times of need. I commend the bill’s sponsors for recognizing that our service members should be able to obtain representation from experienced attorneys in a variety of areas of law on a pro bono basis.”

The state DOES, however, have enough to provide 10s of millions of dollars for illegals.

Illegal aliens and their legal relatives vote Dim 100 percent,unlike vets,who rarely vote Dim.

Murphy is your typical liberal POS.  A hypocrite, liar, thief, cheat, etc.

That said, as a veteran, I'll admit that it would have been nice to have free legal services available...oh, wait, that's what the Area Defense Counsel and Legal Office are for.

IOW, service members have "free" legal services available.  It may not be at a quality one is expecting, but they can certainly help with many legal issues. Some "civil" issues do have to be handled off-base, but most can be handled via the LO. 

You're welcome for my service.

It may not be too long before neither ex-military nor commiecrats have a real vote.

That IS the goal.

I have read a quote,supposedly by Stalin,who replied to some other Soviet official questioning his decision to allow Soviet citizens to vote that states "It makes no difference at all who votes. What makes a difference is who COUNTS the votes."
