12 February 2008 - Codey Opposes Minimum Wage Hike
From njbiz.com. Senate President Richard Codey (D-Essex) has told NJBIZ he would block any legislation that would increase the state’s $7.15-per-hour minimum wage. . . . Codey says it would be asking too much of business to swallow both a minimum-wage hike and paid-family leave at the same time. Believe it or not, I want [...]

12 February 2008 - Corzine Toll Plan Affecting Senate Races
Gotta love this… “Maybe if we had a more effective U.S. senator, the governor wouldn’t have to borrow $40 billion,” Pennachio said. I didn’t live in New Jersey under Christie Whitman’s administration, but apparently she beat up Democrat Bill Bradley during the Senate race in 1990 because he didn’t repudiate Gov. Florio’s tax hikes — [...]

11 February 2008 - Breath Bated for Feb 26
The linked article talks about how Governor Corzine won’t put tolls on Route 440. (It was only 1.5% of the total revenue he intended to generate, after all. Just 98.5% to go…) It also talks about the people who heckled him as well, which makes me think that maybe getting in his face a little [...]

11 February 2008 - New Toll Agency will be EXEMPT from Open Records Law
The hits keep rolling on as more information comes out regarding Gov Corzine’s asset monetization plan for the toll roads. According to today’s Courier Post article: Gov. Jon S.

12 January 2008 - New Jersey to become ENRON!!!
While driving to my daughters basketball practice this morning I happened to catch part of Steve Cordasco’s Big Money show on 1210-WPHT. The topic of the segment was an analysis of Governor Corzine’s asset monetization plan. I was immediately interested because this show typically has only experienced investment counselors explaining current trends, companies and various [...]

02 January 2008 - NJ Slavery Apology: Gestures and Politics
I was reminded today of a famous Animal House quote “This situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture, be done on somebody’s part!” when reading the news story of our legislature considering an official apology for slavery by the State of New Jersey. The issue here is:1. Most of the citizens of this [...]

11 November 2007 - Today is Veteran’s Day
Today is a good day to thank a Veteran for their service to our country. How much do you know about the origin of Veteran’s day? The American Legion of Barnegat NJ has a brief history here. To All Vets, Thanks for your service!

08 November 2007 - Will Democrats Heed the Lesson
Tom Moran from the Star Ledger wrote and excellent opinion piece today. The article entitled “A Sobering Lesson for Democrats” brings up some interesting points that we have made here earlier this week. He mentions the 71% to 19% poll that said NJ residents supported spending state money on stem cell research. Said Mr Moran: [...]
