Save Jersey is returning to Dom Time tonight (Monday 4/17) at 7:00 p.m., Save Jerseyans!
Tonight’s discussion will center on the latest developments in the ObamaCare (Affordable Care Act) saga. Of course, absolutely none of what’s happening surprises those of us who were opposed to this atrocity from day #1; “loopholes” are leaving working folks behind and compelling its authors to change their own employment plans! Joining me to presumably articulate an opposite position will be Elliot Griffin of the Philadelphia Young Democrats. It should be a good time!
Have a little educational fun in the interim by visiting our own ObamaCare archives. Save Jerseyans in or below the Ocean County/Trenton line should be able to watch on Verizon ch. 19 or Comcast ch. 21. Those of you hailing from other regions can visit WMNC44-TV’s website.

Here we go again, Save Jerseyans.
Today in Trenton, the Assembly Budget Committee will take up “The Tuition Equality Act” (A4225). What’s that? This legislation would permit ANY New Jersey high school student who’s attended a New Jersey high school for at least three years, received a high school diploma or GED in New Jersey, and who signs an affidavit promising to correct their immigration status to qualify for in-state tuition rates at Garden State public universities.
It’s another example of emotion (and base politics) overtaking logic.
I argued against it 2009 and this Democrat proposal is no less stupid this time around. Let’s not kid ourselves: the goal of federal and state “dream act” proposals is to make immigration law enforcement impossible. Rather than resolve illegal immigration by incorporating recent arrivals into the American experiment, this bill would act as a magnet for more illegal immigration much like the asinine legislation presently poised to pass the U.S. Senate. That outcome helps no one regardless of their status assuming a strong, secure, prosperous America is truly our collective, shared goal. Sometimes I wonder…
Contact your Assembly members and respectfully reiterate your opposition.

Love them, hate them, but you can’t deny that they’re the two greatest communicators of the past 20 years in American politics. It’s a must-watch discussion for politicos of both parties, Save Jerseyans, particularly since the man on the right (and the man on the left’s wife) are the likely frontrunners for their respective parties’ nominations in 2016:

The U.S. Senate special is heating up at the beginning of an otherwise cool June weekend, Save Jerseyans.
Our friend and frequent guest contributor Art Gallagher of MMM is reporting tonight that Steve Lonegan’s U.S. Senate campaign is challenging the petitions filed by his sole rival for the GOP nomination, Dr. Alieta Eck.
Among other allegations, Lonegan attorney F. Michael Daily says “numerous books contain signatures purportedly witnessed by Alieta Eck and investigation has disclosed that contrary to her affirmations she did not witness such signatures.”
Dr. Eck’s campaign filed approximately 2,300 signatures on Monday, or about 1,300 more than the amount required to make the August primary ballot. It isn’t immediately clear whether the Lonegan camp’s legal challenge, if successful, will be enough to knock Eck off of the ballot outright or simply attempt to pressure the North Jersey physician to suspend her campaign.

A new poll out this morning reinforces the status quo assessment of New Jersey’s 2013 gubernatorial election, Save Jerseyans: Chris Christie is up… big time.
32-points big. And Buono’s made virtually no polling progress in month, something that’s unlikely to change (save for the standard post-Labor Day partisan reconciliation) thanks to yesterday’s Appellate Division ruling.
But the real quick in the teeth for the Buono campaign?
“While her name recognition has climbed to 46 percent of voters from only 30 percent in April, nearly all of that increase has come from voters who now have an unfavorable impression of her,” Rutgers-Eagleton Poll Director David Redlawsk. “The onslaught of attack ads by Gov. Christie’s campaign appears to be having its desired effect.”
Perhaps Buono would’ve been better off without those goofy name pronunciation ads! Shocker…

Every heart beats true under red, white and blue today, Save Jerseyans! Happy Flag Day 2013! We’re celebrating that official adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by the Second Continental Congress. It’s not a federal holiday (nothing’s closed today) but Flag Day is nevertheless certainly a favorite of your friends at Save Jersey. Think about everything that Old Glory’s stars and stripes have both seen and meant to millions over the course of 237 short years…
Take it away, James Cagney:

Middletown Patch is reporting that FEMA will release new flood maps for Atlantic, Hudson, Monmouth and Ocean Counties on Monday, June 17.
As expected, the new ‘preliminary’ maps will result in less homes being located in ‘V’ zones than were so rated in the maps released by FEMA in December following Superstorm Sandy. V zones are areas along coasts that are subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event with additional hazards associated with storm-induced waves.
Many of the properties located in V zones in the December flood maps will be in ‘A’ zones in the maps being released next week, according to a statement by U.S. Senator Bob Menendez as quoted by Patch.
