Alright, I apologize for managing to fit two football puns into one headline. I simply could not resist. Last night was Congressman Jon Runyan’s (NJ-3) kick off event in Burlington County. He spoke to a rather large crowd in an equally large room at the Westin Hotel in Mt. Laurel. Although his presumed opponent, Shelley…
Today Student Bar Associations from both Rutgers Schools of Law in Camden and Newark issued official resolutions stating their stance against the merger plan that we have been covering so heavily here at Save Jersey. Both of the resolutions were sent to me in PDF form, and you can read them below. It seems that…
We all knew that it was coming, Save Jerseyans. Chris Christie has said since before he became governor of New Jersey that he was for civil unions and against gay marriage. The level of outrage that I saw on Facebook and Twitter on Friday afternoon was actually rather appalling. Whether you agree with the Governor’s…

He said he would, Save Jerseyans, and now he has. Governor Christie issued a conditional veto on the Marriage Equality Act, the two bills that cleared the Senate and Assembly this week. Click here for the full text in pdf format. Here’s the accompanying statement from the Governor’s office: Today, I am adhering to what I’ve said…
Yesterday was not just about the marriage equality bill, Save Jerseyans. The Assembly Republican Caucus gained a new member to replace its late leader, Alex DeCroce. Leader DeCroce’s widow, Betty Lou, won the support of the Republican County Committees in the 26th District rather decisively, and yesterday was her first day on the floor as…
The first vote was on Monday in the Senate. Members of Garden State Equality filled the chamber and cheered the passage of S1, the gay marriage bill that Senate Democrats made their top legislative priority in this session. Today activists on both sides of this contentious issue were at the state house to see the second…
Did you happen to catch my four hour live coverage of the Rutgers Board of Governors meeting yesterday? Over 40 members of the public testified at the meeting. Each was supposed to be restricted to 2 minutes, and almost every single person went over. It was a long, long meeting. One of the highlights of…
Ok, I had a long, long day covering that Rutgers Board of Governor’s meeting. I was going to take the night off, but I just wanted to get this in there. I usually don’t go on rants like this, I like to keep it either sarcastic or analytical, but this was just too much. Governor…
Welcome back Rutgers and Rowan people. Last time I covered a live meeting on the Rutgers/Rowan merger, our traffic from Camden, Glassboro, New Brunswick, and Newark went through the roof with students and faculty looking for the latest information on this unfortunate assault on our university. Save Jersey is proud to be your source and…
If you have been following our Rutgers/Rowan merger coverage you would know that today is the Board of Governors meeting at Rutgers Camden. I will be there live, in about 2 hours, to report the play by play, but here is a bit of news to chew on in the mean time. The latest Eagleton…
As I wrote in my long-winded but rather informative article regarding the process by which Rowan might be taking over Rutgers Camden, the two Boards who govern all of Rutgers University, the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors, are incredibly important. These two bodies literally control the assets and operations of all Rutgers…
UPDATE: My predictions were both right and wrong. S1 has just passed the New Jersey Senate by a vote of 24 – 16. Republican Senators Diane Allen and Jennifer Beck both voted ‘Yes’ on the bill. The Assembly is expected to take up A1 during Thursday’s voting session. Notable? A solid margin but not veto…
