Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (D-NJ) told an audience at an Elizabeth senior center Tuesday the Inflation Reduction Act just passed by the U.S. Senate will improve their lives, arguing the downsized version of President Biden’s Build Back Better bill will help fight climate change, encourage clean energy, and make medicine for New Jersey’s 1.6 million elderly residents more affordable.
