‘Bad comedy show’: Mayors blast Trenton Water Works as ice jams cripple plant again
The Trenton Water Works Filtration Plant along the Delaware River in Trenton on April 2. Photo: Andres Kudacki for The Jersey Vindicator. More than 200,000 Mercer County customers of Trenton Water Works are now under a state-mandated water conservation advisory after another breakdown at the utility’s treatment plant. The latest failure has prompted mayors from three surrounding towns to look into how they can leave Trenton Water Works in the future. State regulators said the plant was forced to shut down for three hours in recent days after ice particles from the Delaware River clogged an intake pipe at the Route 29 facility just north of the Calhoun Street Bridge.

When our reporter was at Delaney Hall this weekend, @kim.senate.gov was there inspecting the facility. He was also being filmed by a crew from 60 Minutes. Will he talk about transparency and accountability in New Jersey during the segment when it airs? Let’s hope so.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.
AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.
