As the July 1 expiration approached for reauthorization of a mortgage forbearance and foreclosure assistance program for Superstorm Sandy victims, various local organizations and politicians – in particular, the New Jersey Organizing Project and Sen. Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove of the 9th District – rallied for an extension. Bills A-5096 and S-3582 were soon after posted for a vote.
