| The calendar may say April, but it feels like winter. Here's a picture I took yesterday to remind you that the trees are in blossom:
The Inquirer asks why wealthy and powerful men like State Senator Wayne Bryant feel the need to break the law.
The New York Times has a very interesting profile of Washington Township and how its Smart Growth plan worked too well.
Herb Jackson and John McAlpin explain the state's pension problems (again.)
Don Imus continues to apologize for his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Jackson, and the NAACP all called for his resignation:
James E. Harris, president of the New Jersey chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, demanded Sunday that Imus "resign or be terminated immediately."
Wayne DeAngelo will run for Assembly in LD14. Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein is running for reelection, and Seema Singh is running for State Senate.
Republicans in LD12 want it chosen for the Clean Elections Program.
A dailyrecord.com headline says "Property-tax refunds mean more paperwork," but the article says "the process for receiving the rebates will be the same as in past years." In future years there may be a direct credit. On the other hand, David Rebovich at politicsnj.com says we still don't have meaningful reform.
Okay, it's not politics, but I listened to the Devils-Islanders game on the radio yesterday, and will never forget it. The game was meaningless for the Devils and essential for the Islanders to make the playoffs:
Protecting a 2-1 lead late in regulation time, the Islanders saw it slip away when the Devils pulled goalie Scott Clemmensen for an extra skater and John Madden tied the game with nine-tenths of a second remaining.
Fortunately the Islanders won the overtime shootout, so both teams make the playoffs.
This is an open thread, so let us know what you think! |
