WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday planned to vote on whether to advance Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate.Jackson would be the first Black woman on the high court in its more than 200-year history, and the sixth woman.

After clearing the Senate panel, Democrats will then wind the nomination through the 50-50 Senate — with a final vote in sight for President Joe Biden's pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.Jackson previously faced more than 30 hours of hearings and interrogation over her record last month.

Democrats — and at least one Republican — cite her deep experience in her nine years on the federal bench and the chance for her to become the first former public defender on the court.The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen.

Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Thursday that the high regard for Jackson after a combative four days of hearings is "evidence of the strength that she brings to this nomination and the value that she will bring to the Supreme Court."FILE IMAGE - U.S.

North Wildwood terminates contract with trash company amid threats from failed contract negotiations

NORTH WILDWOOD, N.J. - The City of North Wildwood has terminated its contract with its waste removal company amid threats from the company saying they'd leave trash in the streets, city officials allege. According to a press release from the city, the contract with Gold Medal Environmental New Jersey, Inc. (GME) was terminated. The city says GME is a "subsidiary of the multibillion-dollar private equity firm Kinderhook Industries, headquartered in New York City." According to the city, GME's CEO showed up at the North Wildwood Public Works Building on March 8 insisting that the city pay GME two to three times the agreed upon contract amount or the company would "leave the trash in the streets." According to a legal document sent to GME's leaders, in an email sent on April 25, GME's CEO said: "My message hasn't changed: trash (or recycling or yard waste, etc) will start being left on the streets May 1 (whatever we cannot afford to pick up at current contract prices) if we are not back in good faith negotiations to address this emergency situation as other towns have already, and your offices will choose both where this starts and ends.
