White Jersey

  • 50K residents still without power in South Jersey., with the Governor now saying he will declare a state of emergency.

  • And are your shovels poised for more?

    Senate Judiciary Committee interviews Paula Dow today

  • Loretta Weinberg wants to know if you have questions you think she should ask. Drop them in Comments if you do.

    Can the Tea Party people recall a United States Senator?

  • It's complicated. And heading to court Feb. 26.

    (Unrecoverable disk error!) (Abort, retry, fail?)

  • Star Ledger says it's about time voting machines New Jerseyans cast their ballots on produce a paper record like most voters in the country have.

    I got the horse right here, his name is Paul Revere

  • Legislation that would allow New Jersey's horse racing tracks and Atlantic City casinos to accept bets on sporting events will go before an Assembly panel this week.

    Scott Rumana attacks panel that employs his close ally

  • Charlie Stile writes about the assemblyman's very public campaign into the "waste and out of control salaries" at the Passaic Valley Sewerage Authority, and Rumana's pirouette away from the fact that his own godfather, Passaic congressman turned lobbyist and consultant, pulls in $120K/year as a grant writer for them - an 11 year financial relationship.

    It can be cushy at the top

  • Some upper-level school officials are raking in some very lucrative perks and golden parachutes.

    Credibility of some plaintiffs in Ground Zero illness suits falters

  • As the first cases of first responders and other workers involved in rescue and recovery after the attack at World Trade Center, there may be reason to question the truth of some plaintiffs' claims.

    Paul Mulshine finds something cool about Leonard Lance

  • The congressman from NJ-7 is the only congressman from NJ who's joined the House Small Brewers Caucus.

    Want to be as tan as The Situation? It's gonna cost ... somebody

  • In New Jersey, one of the few states that already taxes tanning salons, a provision buried deep in the US Senate version of health care reform lays an extra burden on salon owners here, in what is already a rough business to make a living in.

    Kidney cancer, non-Hodgekin's Lymphoma, and dropping property values

  • Housing values in the hazardous plume area by the former DuPont munitions factory in Pompton Lakes are falling faster than nearby communities. Exposure to pollution that may make them sick, and a harder time unloading their homes to get away.

    Thanks for the heads-up, Dvd (0.00 / 0)
    Can't find the original now, but this AP article has the same info:

    9/11 health lawsuits raise credibility issues (AP)

    It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


    [ Parent ]
    Paula Dow & Voting Machines (0.00 / 0)

    Senate Judiciary Committee interviews Paula Dow today: I think Paula Dow acquitted herself well as prosecutor for Essex County.

    (Unrecoverable disk error!) (Abort, retry, fail?: Once a vote-stealing program is installed on a machine, the data can be manipulated to change the results. Also even unintended bugs can be in the machine which cause errors. With no paper trail there is no accountability, a lack of voter confidence in the integrity of the system, and likely fewer people going to the polls.  Alice needed her yellow brick road. E.T. followed the Reese's Pieces. Voters need a paper trail.  

    "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy
