From the beginning of the Rutgers Camden Merger debacle I have dedicated a ton of time to bring you some of the most in-depth coverage and analysis around. This afternoon, that dedication included venturing into a place where I honestly never thought I would be. You will be glad to know that I in fact…
As we head into the early summer months talk on Governor Christie’s proposed FY2013 budget will get louder and louder. You will hear Republicans talk about the path back to fiscal sanity that New Jersey has been on under this administration and tout the coming tax increases for everyone that just three years ago would…
Monmouth University Polling released their Quality of Life Index for April 2011 today, and the results, coupled with the continuing trend of more New Jerseyans thinking our state is on the “right track,” are nothing but positive for Governor Christie. The takeaway line from the poll is that 7 in 10 residents say that New…
Yesterday in passing I mentioned a coming vote by the Rutgers Board of Trustees on the merger and their support of a potential compromise plan currently in the works. Well last night that vote took place. According to NJ.com, the Board of Trustees rejected the merger plan, or any severance of Rutgers-Camden from Rutgers University…
New Jersey’s 6th District is easily the most competitive GOP congressional primary in the state this year. There are endorsements flying to both sides from a number of sources. Each candidate has the line in a separate county. All indications right now are that things thing is a toss up. Ernesto Cullari has a name…
Rutgers-Camden is ground zero for the contentious Rutgers Rowan Merger debate. George Norcross and Frank Lautenberg have been fighting tooth and nail on this issue for the last few months, and as the time July 1 deadline continues to approach, and the control of the situation moves into the Legislature, both men show no sign…
Our very own Matt DeLuca, Save Jersey’s plant in the Washington D.C. area, has just landed an awesome new job. And while it may mean that we will be hearing less of Matt on Save Jersey for a little while, he is serving an incredibly important role that will be crucial in this year’s election….
In the wake of the Cherry Hill Teacher-Bullying events from last week, people generally seem to have questions on how the new bullying laws come into play in that situation. One student at Governor Christie’s town hall meeting in Garfield, NJ today brought this question directly to the Governor himself. The kid, Peter Schwartz, wanted…
Today is the day, Save Jerseyans. If Governor Christie wishes to hold strong on his self imposed, seemingly random July 1 deadline for the Rut-Row Merger, his executive order must be issued by midnight tonight. The Executive Reorganization Act of 1969, the statute by which the Governor’s office incorrectly assumes they have the power to…
An annoying trend around the state has begun to take hold. Local municipal governments who have had their bottomless pit of property tax-funded projects closed by the Cap 2.0 law have found a loophole and are exploiting it. The, actually quite obvious, trick is now to take services like trash pick-up off of the local…
UPDATE: Not only did the Adler campaign fix the word “determination,” but they also took my advice on the Oxford Comma and fixed that as well. I’m just glad that I could help. Shelley Adler, the candidate in New Jersey’s 3rd Congerssional District who neither lives nor primarily raises funds from that district, is nothing if…
Everyone knows that to become President of the United States a candidate needs to collect 270 electoral votes, this is the lowest majority you can have to take the White House. So what happens if no one gets there. Or worse, what happens if both candidates get exactly 269 electoral votes? And what is the…
