One memorable segment from NJ 101.5’s “Ask the Governor” program on Wednesday evening is making national news, Save Jerseyans.
A state worker self-identified as “Penny” from Blackwood (a neighborhood in Gloucester Township, Camden County) called-in to inquire how she was supposed to afford health coverage in the wake of state worker benefit reductions.
