GRASSROOTS NJ CAR President Laura Perrotta and six Coalition members — Frank Pezzolla, Douglas Hoover, Romolo Gabrielli, Joseph Cambria, Spencer Campbell, and Jack Licata — testified in front of the Assembly Transportation Committee in support of Bill A4967, which would delay implementation of the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) Rule for two years to allow more time for manufacturers and the state to address a variety of obstacles. See Laura’s written testimony at https://ow.ly/ZH5l50Uqhoy. Thank you to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) for your full-throated support of the Motor Vehicle Open Recall Notice and Fair Compensation Act (A4380/S3309). This bipartisan bill will ensure thousands of automotive technicians in New Jersey are paid the same wages for their work, regardless of whether it is warranty repair paid by the manufacturer or a customer-paid repair service. Former NJ CAR Chairman Rick DeSilva, Jr. (Liberty Subaru) and NJ CAR President Laura Perrotta were part of the NJBIA 4th Annual Energy Conference, discussing how New Jersey can realistically meet its electric vehicle goals. Assemblywoman Jessica Ramirez visited Andy Shapiro with Hudson Auto Group at one of his dealerships. Andy offered refreshing insights to see you enjoy what you do! She also sat down with Jim Appleton and Magdalena Padilla from NJ CAR, where she learned a lot about the needs of the industry, where they are now, and where they are headed. She is grateful for opportunities where she gets to learn from members of the community firsthand and build relationships. New Jersey’s 520 franchised dealerships are proud to serve the mobility needs of all their customers. 27 NEW JERSEY auto retailer
