Despite the supposedly unremarkable nature of the New Jersey franchise amendment, the IFA has not only written a detailed letter (pdf, 2 pgs) on June 11 to the assemblyman on why the organization opposed his update to the law, and then published the letter, but it also has dispatched representatives to dissuade the New Jersey assemblyman of his position.
