COHEN: CORZINE'S CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO STEM CELL RESEARCH WELCOME NEWS
(TRENTON) - Governor Jon S. Corzine's 2007 State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature highlighted a continued commitment to stem cell research in New Jersey, Assemblyman Neil M. Cohen said today.
Cohen (D-Union) has been one of the most vocal proponents of stem-cell research in the New Jersey Legislature and was sponsor of the state's 2004 law that authorized embryonic and adult stem cell research. He also is prime sponsor of the landmark legislation that directs $270 million to build stem cell and biomedical research centers throughout New Jersey.
He issued the following statement:
"The promise of stem cell research is the promise of hope, the promise of a cure for the incurable and the untreatable. Today, Governor Corzine made another significant commitment to keeping that promise.
"The Governor's desire to put the question of funding stem cell research grants to the public on the 2007 ballots mirrors my own. Funding for research grants is the next logical step in our efforts to turn New Jersey into the premiere stem cell research facility in the world.
"We are now that much closer to providing significant opportunities to advance stem cell research in this state, and that is welcome news."

Quote of the Day
"That issue, which was raised more than two years ago in the midst of the election, will not influence this process, nor will it impede the senator from carrying out his responsibility to help select the individuals who will best protect New Jerseyans. -- Afshin Mohamadi, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who says a probe of the junior Senator by the U.S. Attorneys office will not impact his recommendation on a new federal prosecutor once Barack Obama takes office.
