This is an Open Thread. So what are you reading?

Can the Class of 2010 - including Jon Runyan - resist Washington?

At an orientation session for new House members, Runyan says both Congress and playing in the NFL "are both kind of negative environments", that serving in Congress is kind of like dealing with the boos and constant criticism of professional football.

An Open Letter to Jon Runyan.

John Adler facing unclear future.

Some of Bill's Favorite Bills

Including critical stuff happening today.

Steven Goldstein on who bullied him growing up, and the consequences in his life. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights comes up in both houses today, with broad bi-partisan support.

FiveThirtyEight handicaps GOP 2012 White House Contenders

Is Christie a candidate to bet against?

Additional Christie

Christie: An Unlikely Rising Republican Star.

Bucket of warm spit?

Penny-pinching governor lets more than half a billion dollars slip through his fingers.

Simple, sensible stuff

League of Municipalities

Expect the 2% property tax cap to be a hot topic in the halls at the annual conference that starts tomorrow.

Christie's skipping the League.

League of Municipalities says NJ should remove all union officials from its public pension system if it cuts off those in government lobbying organizations.

It's not just the League that towns have lobbying for them; more $$ going to private lobbying firms.

Christie & other climate change deniers/skeptics

What matters is what NJ's going to do, before it's too late.

Rush Holt (physicist & congressman) answers Chris Christie (governor & global warming skeptic).

Asian-Americans Live Well in the Garden State

Live longer, earn more & are better educated than other residents of NJ. What accounts for that?

Any old progressives out there?

This is for you.

Monday News Roundup & Open Thread for Nov. 15, 2010 | 2 comments

9/11 Warriors (0.00 / 0)

I support the James Zadroga 9/11 Health Care and Compensation Act. Senator Turtle (R - hyprocristan) does not.

The NY Daily News has a good editorial. It does not, however, remind us of the huge number of people, from all over the US of A who came to help at the WTC.

I think our senators in the tri-state area are pretty supportive. Wouldn't it be something if the Gov was supportive as well.
