Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: after a long hiatus, Jay Lassiter returns to the stage, with his inimitable style, wit, and statehouse access. For Jay lovers, tonight's the night to join us live at 8:00 p.m., and remind yourselves what you've been missing.
For the uninitiated, the great thing about a show with Jay is that you never know what you're going to get - one week, you're interviewing a Presidential Candidate, and another week, it's Hamstermania. But every week, it's a blast!
So, tune in tonight and every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. for a little bit o' this, and a little bit o' that.
You won't want to miss an episode - and of course, you never have to. Listen to them all on Blogtalkradio, or download any show on iTunes. Talk to you later!

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: after more than two years of interviews, commentary, research, banter, predictions, and laughter, my amazing co-host, Jason Springer, has left the building. Seems like only yesterday when he debuted on the show, and I miss him already.
So, while we retool and reboot for our big splashy Blue Jersey Radio return next Tuesday August 10th at 8:00 p.m., I thought I'd invite you to listen back to some of Jason's greatest hits. Like:
Talking Healthcare with Congressman Pallone; or
Dissecting the Patriot Act with Congressman Holt; or
Welcoming our almost Lt. Governor, Loretta Weinberg; or
Interviewing Governor Corzine: remember that?
Good times. These and all of Jason's shows are available anytime to listen on Blogtalkradio, or to download on iTunes.
So, enjoy some blasts from the past, and tune in next week for an exciting future - hint: we're going back to our roots! :)

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: America turns 234, and still looks good for her age (though I might recommend a little nip and tuck to keep things fresh). New Jersey, by contrast, is showing her age, with rising local needs, shrinking revenues and serious infrastructure and other needs. Solution? An arbitrary tax cap! Problem solved! (Ladies, get your healthcare, um, somewhere else. Oh, and avoid bridges if at all possible.)
But, it's not all bad - you still have us. So, join us for New Jersey's fastest half-hour of political talk. We'll see if we can keep up with the change-by-the-minute pace of news coming out of Trenton and elsewhere in the state.

Well this should be fun. Jeff is on the ballot today in his primary election (Good Luck), so Jack Bohrer (JRB) will join us once again this week as my co-host, but there's a twist. Jack is in Chicago now covering the Rod Blagojevich trial for Esquire magazine. You can see his first piece here.
In addition, we'll cover all the latest NJ news as we head toward the budget deadline and the Governor continues his power grabs.
It's all LIVE tonight at 8:00 p.m.

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: It will be hard to follow up on last week's very nice interview with Deborah Howlett, but we'll do our best. Like most of the country, we've got primaries on our minds after last week's stunning outcomes by Joe Sestak and Bill Halter. Are there any primary upsets brewing here in New Jersey? We'll be finding out very soon, and tonight we'll be talking about some of the more notable ones. (Um, like this one.)
Plus - as a government shutdown is taken off the table faster than you can say "Hey, Jeff predicted that almost 2 months ago!" - we'll recap the latest in the Trenton budget wars.

Jeff Gardner makes his triumphant return to Blue Jersey Radio this week. Thanks to JRB, who admirably kept his seat warm as my co-host for the last two weeks, but something tells me now that Jeff has returned, he will have alot to say.
Not only is Jeff back, but we have a special guest in Deb Howlett, the newly named Executive Director for New Jersey Policy Perspective. Rosi gave us a little more information about her in the post announcing her new role: Deborah was Director of Communications for Gov. Corzine, and was a player in his administration's efforts to pass Marriage Equality. She comes from the world of writing, and reporting, as an award-winning political reporter for the Star Ledger, and before that several roles at USA Today. And was nominated for a Pulitizer Prize in 1996. We're looking forward to the conversation with Deb. It's all LIVE tonight at 8:00 p.m. Have questions or comments of your own, drop 'em in the comments, then tune in and join the conversation! And, of course - you can always give us a call and have your say. That number again is: 646-652-2773.

 Barry Bendar, Candidate for Congress, NJ-3 This week: We're joined by NJ-3 Congressional Candidate Barry Bendar seeking the democratic nomination in New Jersey's 3rd District.
What? We already have a democratic congressman in NJ-3 you say? You betcha! But, since the incumbent couldn't see Healthcare Reform from his house, someone else wants to give it a try. Looks like we have an actual contested primary - in America no less. You don't see that every day.
So, what exactly does Barry have in mind in challenging an incumbent Congressman?

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: With March Madness about to be over (the women finish tonight), we can finally devote our full attention to the upcoming nail-biters sure to be coming out of Trenton: will Supreme Court Justice Wallace be renominated? Is there a government shutdown in our near future? Does Chris Christie have a plan to lower NJ property taxes? (Um,... answers: maybe not, I kinda don't think so, and stop being ridiculous.)

This Week: Can you say recall? Well, considering it hasn't even been 100 days yet, maybe that's premature. But, as the Christie administration takes a nosedive in the polls, we'll catch up on the latest bluster coming out of Trenton, and where things are headed.
Join us tonight!
What's got you upset with the Governor? C'mon - there must be something. Go ahead and drop your gripes in the comments with your thoughts. Or, feel free to give us a call tonight, and share what's on your mind. Remember, it's all LIVE, so don't be afraid - join us!

 Annabel Park, Coffee Party USA Founder This week: we're LIVE with Coffee Party USA's Annabel Park letting us in on what that organization is about, what they're hoping to accomplish, and what may await its future.
Plus, while congressional republicans (um, and John Adler?) wail and nash their teeth that the end is near, we get to celebrate the end too: of lifetime insurance caps, of coverage denials for pre-existing conditions, of uninsured status for 30 million Americans, and the list goes on. Health Care Reform - now the law of the land.
Think you know what it will mean for November's elections?

This Week: While Jeff is once again away, Adam and Jason will play. It's time for another excellent adventure and we will cover all the latest issues in what was another busy week of NJ politics and government. The Governor is getting ready to produce his budget proposal as people continue to try and come to grips with his previous proposals for unemployment, mass transit, education, the environment and more. On the federal level, they're still fighting about healthcare. And there is plenty more out there that we can talk about.

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
For the last two weeks, we have had great guests including Congressman Donald Payne two weeks ago and JRB last week talking corruption. Those shows are worth a listen.
This week, I'm sure we'll cover many of the issues facing our state. Last Friday was a huge news day with Senator Baroni saying he would be moving to the NY/NJ Port Authority and Senator Lautenberg being diagnosed with treatable stomach cancer. The Senate unanimously approved Pension reform bills yesterday. Bret Schundler's nomination will be continued, a move which angered Republicans provoking some fun exchanges among Senators. Garden State Equality has been holding demolish the divide events around the state including Trenton last night. And lets not forget the fight over Executive power that has cropped up over budget cuts, COAH and other areas. We clearly have a full menu to choose from for the meal tonight.
Did we not mention the issue you're thinking about? Drop your comments, questions and concerns down below, then tune in and join the conversation!

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
Last week: Our guest was Congressman Donald M. Payne, NJ-10, the new Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, who shared all sorts of goodies (including announcing on-air his intention to co-sponsor the Fair Elections Now Act). The Congressman was a great guest, and well worth another listen.
But, this week: we go from the good, to the bad and the ugly. On the heels of the Beldini verdict in Jersey City, we're talking corruption with longtime Blue Jersey contributor, Jack R. Bohrer (aka ""JRB"), whose recent series in The Jersey City Independent covering that trial - the first of many arising from last summer's huge sting - was as complete a record of the trial as you're likely to read. We'll hear first-hand what that trial looked and sounded like, and get JRB's insight into how future corruption trials might shape up.

 "Rep. Donald M. Payne, NJ-10" Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This week: Our guest is Congressman Donald M. Payne, NJ-10, who's not only Newark's long-serving representative, but also the new Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. He'll be talking about the CBC Foundation, what his role will be, and what role it plays in progressive politics. Plus, we'll catch up on his perspective of all that's going on in Washington.
With a great guest like this, it's tough to decide where to start - so help us out. What should we ask the good Congressman?
