Abavoti baseNew Jersey baya kunika ubunzima kwimibuzo emibini yokuvota, kumathala eencwadi nakwiindawo zokuhlala.Ifoto: Chris Hondros / Getty Izithombe Abantu baseNew Jersey baya kuvota kwimibuzo emibini yokuvota kunyulo lweveki ezayo, omnye ngezemali kumathala eencwadi kunye nomnye oza kudala ibhokisi yokutshixa kwiindawo zokuhlala zikarhulumente ezinxulumene namatyala angcolisayo okusingqongileyo.
Ngokungafaniyo neminyaka edlulileyo, awukho umbuzo wokuvota otsala umdla omkhulu okanye impikiswano. Ngo-2016, abavoti baseNew Jersey bagqiba ekubeni bangavumeli iikhasino ukuba zisebenze kwiindawo ezimbini zaseMntla Jersey ngaphandle kweAtlantic City. Le voti yeza emva kwamaqela azimeleyo kumacala omabini omcimbi achithe phantse i-25 yezigidi zeedola kwimidlalo ebizayo, ejolise kwintengiso, ngokweengxelo ezifakwe kwiKhomishini yoNyanzeliso loMthetho woNyulo.
Nalu ulwazi malunga nemibuzo yokuvota emibini kulo nyaka:
Umbuzo wokuvota 1
Abenzi bomthetho bagunyaze ukuya kuthi ga kwiidola eziyi-125 yezigidi kwiibhondi zoMthetho weNew Jersey weLayibrari yoLwakhiwo. Ukuba abavoti bayavuma, imali ebolekiweyo iya kusetyenziselwa ukuxhasa ngemali iiprojekthi ezinkulu kumathala eencwadi oluntu. Eli nyathelo linenkxaso ye-bipartisan, kwaye amalungu e-Assembly kunye ne-Senate aseburhulumenteni batyikitye ukuxhasa imali. Umbutho weThala leeNcwadi laseNew Jersey nawo uyawuxhasa umlinganiselo.
Izibonelelo zamathala eencwadi oluntu zininzi, kwaye ulwakhiwo, ukwandiswa, kunye nokuphuculwa kwamathala eencwadi oluntu kufuneka kukhuthazwe ngenkuthalo ukuqinisekisa impilo-ntle kunye nempumelelo yabemi baseNew Jersey, ngokoluhlu lwamatyala.
Izibonelelo zikarhulumente ziya kubandakanya iipesenti ezingama-50 zeendleko zeprojekthi ukuba uvavanyo-zimvo lwebhondi lwamkelwe ngabavoti. Oorhulumente basekhaya bazakuhambisa iipesenti ezingama-50 ezisele zetyala. Umgcini welayibrari karhulumente kunye nomongameli weYunivesithi yaseThomas Edison baya kugqiba ukuba ngabaphi abafake izicelo abanelungelo lokufumana izibonelelo.
Amalungu endibano uJay Webber kunye noMichael Patrick Carroll (bobabini iR-Morris) bayayichasa inkqubo yenkxaso-mali yethala leencwadi. Lo mthetho uyilwayo uphakamisa ukongeza elinye i-125 lezigidi zeedola ngaphezulu kwabahlawuli berhafu esele betywile kumatyala eNew Jersey, batsho kwingxelo.
Umbuzo wokuvota 2
Abavoti baya kucelwa ukuba benze izilungiso kumgaqo-siseko welizwe ukuze banikele ngayo yonke ingeniso efumanekayo ekumiseni amatyala angcolisayo nakweminye imicimbi yendalo esingqongileyo ngokukodwa kwiiprojekthi zokusingqongileyo. Ukuba ipasisiwe, inkxaso-mali enikezelweyo iya kubekwa phambili kulungiso lwendawo ekuthethwa ngayo kwityala eliphambi kokuba nayiphi na imali eseleyo iye kwezinye iiprojekthi.
Ngokungafaniyo nemilinganiselo yethala leencwadi, lo mbuzo wokuvota uxhaswe kuphela ngabaDemokhrasi. Kwaqala kwaphakanyiswa njengempendulo yokungavisisani phakathi kukaRhulumente uChris Christie kunye neNdlu yoWiso-mthetho malunga nolwabiwo lwenkxaso mali evela kwiindawo ezimbini zokuhlala, i-355 yezigidi zeedola yokungcolisa uMlambo iPassaic kunye ne- $ 225 yezigidi zokuhlala kwi-Exxon Mobil yomhlaba ongcolileyo kwi-Union County. Kwimali engama- $ 580 efunyenwe kuzo zombini ezi ndawo zokuhlala, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukaChristie lwabela i-130 yezigidi zeedola kwiiprojekthi zokusingqongileyo kunye nokulungiswa. Uhlengahlengiso lomgaqo-siseko luya kuthintela ugqogqo olunjalo lweemali zokuhlala kwixesha elizayo.
Ukuhlaliswa kwe-Exxon, ngakumbi, kugxilwe kakhulu, ikakhulu ngenxa yoqikelelo lweSebe lezoKhuselo lokusiNgqongileyo elixabise umonakalo kwi-8.9 yezigidigidi zeedola ngaphambi kokuba ulawulo lukaChristie luhlawulise isigwebo se-225 yezigidi. U-Sen. Ray Lesniak, umxhasi kunye nohlaziyo lomgaqo-siseko, uhlala egxeka u-Christie ngesixa-mali sokugqibela sentlawulo, esithi irhuluneli ifuna ukuthatha ithuba lomthetho ovumela irhuluneli ukuba iphambukise imali yokuhlawula okusingqongileyo kwingxowa-mali kawonke-wonke. I-Lesniak (D-Union) ibandakanyeke kwinkqubo ende yokubhena kwetyala.
Umbuzo wokuvota 2 uzuze inkxaso kububanzi obubanzi bamaqela okusingqongileyo kurhulumente kubandakanya iNew Jersey yeSierra Club, iNdawo eNtsha yeJersey kunye neLigi yoLondolozo lwabaVoti.
