Murphy taps Taffet for Rutgers board – New Jersey Globe
Adding some gravitas to the leadership of Rutgers University, Gov. Phil Murphy has nominated one of the state’s most influential political insiders, Gary Taffet, to serve on the Board of Governors.
He was picked to replace Kevin Egan, who resigned to take his seat in the New Jersey State Assembly.
The move potentially positions Taffet to play a strong role in the selection of a new Rutgers president whenever Jonathan Holloway decides to move on.
A former chief of staff to Gov. James E. McGreevey, Taffet served on the New Jersey Legislative Apportionment Commission and has been a trustee of Middlesex County College. The Rutgers alum is the division president of Reliance Insurance Group.
Taffet’s nomination is subject to Senate confirmation.
Two private contractors have been hospitalized following, what police called, an “advanced life support emergency,” after they were likely electrocuted while working at a property in Ocean City, New Jersey early Monday.
According to police, the incident happened at about 8:57 a.m., when first responders were called to a property along the 100 block of Somerset Lane in Ocean City, New Jersey, after two men were possibly electrocuted.
Officials said the incident happened when one of the workers contacted electrical supply lines with a metal ladder while working on the exterior of a property.
The initial worker was injured when they were likely electrocuted and fell from a ladder police said.
A second worker was likely electrocuted as well when, officials said, they grabbed the ladder in an effort to help the first worker.
Police said fire department personnel at the scene administered trauma assessment and initial treatment while paramedics administered advanced life support care for the pair of workers before they were taken to a nearby hospital by helicopter.
Officials did not immediately provide information on the victims’ conditions upon being admitted to the hospital.
An investigation into this incident, officials said, remains ongoing.

Team USA is scheduled to play all three of its FIFA World Cup group stage games on the West Coast.
After that, the only two chances of seeing the American national soccer team in New Jersey are during the final game on July 19, or during the round of 32 match scheduled for June 30.
Here’s how it works:
USA is in Group D. If the team ends up third during the group stage and enters the round of 32, the could be scheduled to play in New Jersey on Tuesday, June 30. But, that would require a disappointing result in the group stage as USA is the top-ranked team in their group.
Typically, ending third would eliminate a team after the group stage. But, the 2026 Men’s World Cup includes 48 teams, the most it has ever had, so, eight third-place teams from the group stage will advance to the round of 32.
If Team USA makes it through to the final, they would play in New Jersey on July 19.
