In recognition for his efforts in human trafficking protection across the state, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri recently received the 2020 Advocacy Champion Award from the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking.
Prosecutor Onofri is vice chairman of the state Commission on Human Trafficking and president of the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey.
“To those who believe that New Jersey does not have a human trafficking issue, that it is only something that happens in the movies or on television, you are sadly wrong,” Prosecutor Onofri said. “In Mercer County alone, we have four active human trafficking cases and a fifth that recently saw a defendant plead guilty and receive a 10-year prison sentence. We cannot pretend that human trafficking does not exist.”
Also recognized were Assemblywoman Angela McKnight (D-Hudson), Assemblywoman Nancy Munoz (R-Morris, Somerset, Union), Senator Joseph Pennacchio (R-Essex, Morris, Passaic), Senator Troy Singleton (D-Burlington) and Atlantic County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Danielle Buckley.

TRENTON, N.J. – A bill (A5513) sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer that allows taxpayers to make contributions to Meals on Wheels programs in the state through their income tax return forms was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy. “Person-to-person giving is a more beneficial and civically minded form of charity than any government program,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “We are not a government with communities, but we live in communities that have a government.” Taxpayers will be able to make voluntary contributions to a state Meals on Wheels fund on their income tax return forms to support local programs in providing meals to homebound seniors. One in five Americans are aged 60 or older and one in four live alone. Nearly 9.5 million seniors are threatened by hunger. About 16 percent of New Jerseyans are 65 and older. “Not only does Meals on Wheels help meet the nutritional needs of seniors throughout the state, they support their social well-being and perform wellness checks too,” said Dancer. “Seniors on a limited income, living far away from family or recovering from an illness need our help to live healthy, happy and independent lives. This law will help Meals on Wheels continue to fulfill their very important mission.”
New Jersey’s income tax returns typically generate around $700,000 a year in donations for more than 30 different causes.

TRENTON, N.J. – This week the governor signed a bill (A1110/S782) sponsored by Assemblyman Ron Dancer to increase workers’ compensation for the loss of a hand or foot.
“Losing a hand or foot is a traumatic, life-changing experience. Workers need to know we will support them during their time of need,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “A big part of alleviating some of their stress is by ensuring injured workers are properly compensated.”
The bill also requires the Labor commissioner to study the effectiveness of the workers’ compensation program.
“It’s also our responsibility to make sure the programs we put in place to help our workers are efficient and beneficial,” said Dancer. “Including a study is critical to ensure our programs are effective and genuinely helping workers when they need it the most.”
