League Statement on the Oliver Appointment
The League of Municipalities congratulates
Lieutenant-Governor Elect Sheila Oliver, first, on her recent election
to that post, and second, on her designation as our next Commissioner
of the Department of Community Affairs. And we commend Governor-Elect
Murphy on making this appointment.
As Assembly Speaker, and throughout her tenure in the
Assembly, she has shown her appreciation for the work done, and the
challenges faced, by officials serving on the local level. She has
always been open to discuss issues and concerns with local leaders,
working through the League of Municipalities.
“We commend Governor-Elect Murphy for making this
appointment,” said League President Mayor Albert Kelly of Bridgeton.
“For as long as I have known her, she has always been willing to listen
to the concerns of all of us, who work, every day, to better meet the
needs of our fellow citizens. Those citizens are best served when all
of their elected representatives cooperate to advance the general
welfare. I promise Sheila that she can count on the League of
Municipalities to work with her on many matters of mutual concern. And I
know, from past experience, that we can count on her to consider our
viewpoint on the many issues she will be asked to deal with at the
Department of Community Affairs. We offer our congratulations.”
