Assemblyman Patrick J. Diegnan (D-Middlesex) had the following published on www.politickernj.com :
“The statistics are frightening, and all the more reason to applaud the recent announcement by U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and Rep. Bill Pascrell that the CDC have agreed to study and develop national guidelines for managing sports-related concussions for student athletes.
