II. Federal Update and Further Stimulus
On Tuesday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader McConnell blocked consideration of the CASH Act, which would provide an additional $1,400 stimulus check for a total of $2,000. The CASH Act passed the House of Representatives on Monday by a vote of 275-134. Senator Sanders has stated he will object, delaying a planned Wednesday vote to override President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act until an up-or-down vote on the CASH Act occurs.

III. Show Off Your City
This year like no other, the picture of municipal life has been profoundly different. We’d like to record the many special municipal moments in New Jersey through the 2021 NJLM Annual Show Off Your City photo contest. You are invited to send us photos of how local residents and officials worked and played and thrived in these pandemic days.
Entries will be posted on the League’s Facebook page, website and some will be featured in the April issue of
NJ Municipalities magazine, and possibly other issues.
A winner will be selected and receives a free League publication of their choice.
We ask that photos be high resolution JPEG–at least 1 MB in size. Please provide photo credit if necessary. Unfortunately, stock photos and images that are too low resolution will not be considered. By submitting a photo, you are agreeing that you own the rights to the photo and that NJLM has permission to use the photo in
NJ Municipalities, on NJLM’s social media and website, and in other printed materials. Please include your Facebook profile name and we will tag your photo on Facebook.

aspiezio@njlm.org, or mailed on CD or flash drive to 222 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08608.
