From the Rhode Island Blog Anchor Rising: Sep 19, 2008Public Tax Meeting We Voted On It John JJ Richman was making breakfast when he heard the crowd outside. They seemed just shy of hostile.

20 April 2008 - Hamilton Township Residents Revolt – Elections apparently don’t matter
From today’s Trentonian: HAMILTON — A taxfighters’ showdown is in the wind. You can’t see it in the bounce of tumble weed, hear it in the jangle of spurs or smell it in the nervous sweat. But you can sure feel the heat of its anger as you read of its coming in The Trentonian’s [...]

Via allbusiness.com: “When Barry Godwin, the Comptroller of a South Carolina pleasure boat company, received a call from a New Jersey revenue agent last July, he could hardly believe his ears.

13 February 2008 - Constitutional Problem With Toll Plan?
On Toll Roads News I just saw an article that says this: New Jersey Republican legislative leaders have raised an interesting constitutional challenge to Governor Cozine’s tollroad monetization scheme.
