Happy fathers day to everyone...

  • Geico claims its rating practice of using a driver's job and education are legitimate criteria but some contend it raises claims of bias.

  • A bill in the NJ Assembly, A2064 would allow cameras only at accident- or fatality-prone intersections and limit photos to rear license plates.

  • The Bergen record has a story about the amount of overtime worked by state employees over the last 3 years saying that last year, nearly half the state's workforce of more than 80,000 put in extra hours.

  • The Star Ledger discusess net neutrailty about the trust me method being employed by telecoms saying
    It looks like a home run for the telecom companies, which have spent billions of dollars deploying high-speed fiber optic lines across the country. They demand freedom to offer premium services -- heart monitoring, perhaps? -- and promise they won't rile consumers by blocking content.

  • The Star Ledger yesterday had a story about a private meeting which got heated with "voices raised" where Assembly leaders told Gov. Corzine the sales tax hike is dead and he should move to plan B.

  • Junior has finally decided to respond to the comments made by Senator Menendez on Friday morning in Atlantic City, at a meeting of the New Jersey Association of Counties.

  • More tough times for camden schools as crime probes and a test-score scandal are bringing calls for the superintendent's resignation.

  • A 2nd person has died and 39 have been sent to hospitals as a result of tainted heroin. The NJ Senate is currently discussing in their Health Committee a needle exchange bill, which SJ Brian has covered here on Blue Jersey, however that will not help you if its tainted.
