How much more will you pay – NJ Top News

Here are the top New Jersey news stories for Tuesday:

A cold case in Somerset County has been solved as officials believe they have the man responsible for a 1997 murder.

The break in the case is largely due to advances in technology that gave authorities more options with the evidence they had at their disposal for more than 25 years.

Authorities held a news conference Monday to announce the arrest of 60-year-old Robert Creter of Winnipeg, Canada. Officials allege he is responsible for the death of Tammy Tignor, a Newark woman who was found dead on a dirt road in Bridgewater at age 23.

A grassroots worker group has filed a lawsuit against federal labor officials seeking more reporting details about deaths at three different New Jersey locations of Amazon, the state’s largest employer.

All three men – Rafael Mota Frias, Rodger Boland and Eric Vadinsky – died within weeks of each other in the hot summer of 2022 in Carteret, Robbinsville and Monroe.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspectors ruled out workplace factors, including excessive heat, when they publicly released findings into Mota Frias’ death.

⬛ Drones banned over parts of New Jersey

As the FBI investigates the source of these mysterious drones flying over parts of Morris County, the FAA has issued a ban on all drone flights over the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and the Picatinny Arsenal military base in Rockaway.

The drones were spotted almost every night for weeks, with no explanation.

The FAA did not comment on what it may know, but warned that drone operators who endanger aircraft or pedestrians could be fined up to $75,000 and lose their pilot licenses.

Company officials say regulations on new large vehicles, including school buses and RVs, will hurt New Jersey dealers and consumers from day one.

The Advanced Clean Truck Rule requires vehicle manufacturers to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) over the next decade, starting January 1, 2025. This is the state’s version of a similar rule created by the California Air Resources Board.

Do the new rules ban the sale of mobile homes?

There are a lot of rumors circulating on the internet. Here is the real story.

Starting in 2025, every gallon of gas pumped into your vehicle will be taxed at a higher rate than originally expected.
