The Big Story
- Vote.
Take your next door neighbor with you. Offer a ride to that lady across the street who doesn't walk very well anymore. Ask that guy at work who always complains about the conservative pundits if he voted before work or is going after. Remind people that voting is the most important thing we do in a democracy. Don't let something so silly as rain make a difference. Get out the vote!
- Regardless of how the votes go, there will be a lot of new faces in the legislature in the next term.
- Big names weigh in on the debate over the stem cell Ballot Question.
State News
- Our Fair State's health is getting worse, and our health care system needs some work. We have low rates of prenatal care and increasing numbers of uninsured compared to the rest of the country. Truly a painful embarrassment.
- It won't be formally announced until next spring, but the 511 system for traffic information is fully operational. It's a free call, too!
- The new Green Governor: Jon Corzine.
- A fine for using your cell phone or texting while driving? Long overdue. Hang up and drive!
