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?

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: It's Groundhog Day! I understand Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. But, I also heard some imposter groundhog performing for Mayor Bloomberg in Staten Island did not see his shadow, which means Spring is coming. Either way, it's sofa king freezing, I could scream.
Of course, it doesn't really matter which groundhog is right, because as I heard it said today, in New Jersey there are only two seasons anyway: construction and winter.
But, on to politics.
I'm baaaaack, from a quick (and warm) jaunt to California ("the New Jersey of the Pacific"), and ready to make some predictions of my own. How about these:
1- I predict that nothing serious will be done about campaign financing, despite the misguided Supreme Court decision that a legal fiction is a human being.
2- I predict that nothing serious will be done to clean house when it comes to the corrupt elements within the Democratic party.
3- I predict that 4 out of 5 Blue Jersey Radio listeners would not know what Gobbler's Knob is without looking it up.
Have something on your mind that you want us to talk about - perhaps your own un-jaded prediction or two? Go ahead and drop in a comment with your thoughts. Or, feel free to give us a call, and share what's on your mind. Remember, it's all LIVE, so don't be afraid - join us, and let us know what's going on in your neck of the woods!

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: We've kicked Jeff out for the night so that Adam and I can have another excellent adventure. We're certainly not short of topics to discuss. Do you want to discuss the first week of Governor Christie? Or maybe Jon Runyan's affinity for donkeys? Possibly the state of the healthcare debate now? We could also talk about the state of fundraising and the drop in leadership pacs along with county party efforts.

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: Welcome to the first full day of the Christie Administration. We'll recap all of the changes that have gone on in the leadership of this state since we last spoke with you. The new Governor isn't wasting any time and he says he's signing executive orders, taking action and we'll have plenty to talk about.
In addition, we'll be talking about fallout from the Massachusetts Senate race and its impact on everything from healthcare to how candidates campaign in a tough climate. Everyone is looking to assign blame and interpret meaning including our own Senator Menendez.
We'll also touch on the state of the Democratic Party in New Jersey with the jockeying for State Chair heating up and the financial reports on where the party leadership committees stand with funding having been released.

This Week: We're recapping the lame duck session - the good, the bad and the ugly.
And, we'll be talking about what's next, like who's ready to kick some ass in 2010? Apparently, these people! (1,200 1,237 and counting) - just one of multiple Facebook groups popping up in the aftermath of the New Jersey Senate's failure to pass marriage equality. Joining us for the conversation will be Unseat Sean Kean spokesperson, Thomas Mannix, with an inside look at what the group is planning, and what kind of feedback it's getting so far.

Holy cow! Blue Jersey Radio is alive and kicking almost 3 years since its debut, and guess what?: It's still really fun to do! We get to interview great guests, we can say anything we want, and we even let our callers have their say (sometimes). But every so often, we get to take a week off, and just listen back to some of our favorite shows. And this year had no shortage of fun ones.
Like we did back in 2007 and 2008, we invite you again to have a listen back to this year's Blue Jersey Radio Year in Review:
The Big Fish
This year, we had the opportunity to sit down for an extended interview with Governor Corzine, to talk about the campaign, the issues important to him, and the achievements he hoped to share with New Jersey voters. We also were joined on more than one show by our dear friend, Senator Loretta Weinberg.
 Governor Jon Corzine  Our Interview with Jon Corzine, Part Two  Senator Loretta Weinberg
NJ Elected Officials
We were joined by members of our congressional delegation, as well as other notable NJ elected officials from around the state.
 Rep. Rush Holt  Rep. Frank Pallone  Newark Councilman Ron Rice Jr.  Dennis McNerney, Bergen Cty Executive  Asm. Jack Conners, LD-7
Some of New Jersey's Most Inspiring Activists and Leaders
We sat down with prominent leaders and activists in the state, who have played an important role in fighting to make New Jersey a more open and inclusive place to call home.
 GSE Chair Steven Goldstein  Rutgers CAWP Dir. Debbie Walsh  New Jersey's Veterans for Education  Accountability NOW Director Jeff Hauser  ACLU attorney Catherine Crump
Progressive Challengers
And we heard from the brave souls who stood up to challenge incumbents even in New Jersey's toughest races, earning them an "A" on the political participation scoreboard.
 40th District Assembly Candidates Mark Bombace and John Agostinelli  Assembly Candidate Wendy Wright, LD-25  Assembly Candidate Rebekah Conroy, LD-25  Assembly Candidate Wayne Marek, LD-26  Assembly Candidate Doug Herbert, LD-26 |

 Updated by Jason: We had a fun recap of 2009 talking about the many guests and topics the show covered throughout the past year. Thank you to all the people who joined us as guests, co-hosts and listeners. It was a great year and we'll see you in 2010.Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: When you start seeing Annual Top Ten Lists, you know it's time to take a look back at the year in New Jersey politics. Let's do it!
Unlike almost every other state, New Jersey never takes a break from politics. It's not just Atlantic City that's "always on" - in New Jersey, it's on every year. When the rest of the country took the year off from electoral politics after the Obama election, we went full-steam ahead into our governor's race. And now, as the year winds to a close, we're already talking about the 2010 elections (and even, er, some 2011 ones).
But before we get ahead of ourselves - and before we take next week off from the show, which will return LIVE on Tuesday, January 5th - let's remember what this year brought us. Join us LIVE tonight for the last time in 2009, and have your say!
For my part, I'll be sharing my perspective on the ups and downs (there really were both!) of a tumultuous 2009. But, it's always more fun when we hear from our listeners too. Go ahead, make my day our year.

This Week: Well, what else? It's all marriage, all the time, as we share our take on yesterday's hearing and committee vote to advance the marriage to the full Senate on Thursday. Yes, I testified alrighty. And, I can't wait to tell you all about it (although if you can't wait - the text of my testimony is below the flip).

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: We'll be talking about the, ahem, "courage" of our members in the legislature on Marriage Equality. And, we'll do some talking about Jon Runyan's playing footsie with football and congress. Of course, we'll have to talk about the unholy (and lucrative!) alliance between Hal Turner, Chris Christie and the FBI. And, time permitting, we may even get to talk about how New Jersey's broke, we're not giving towns loot and it's getting worse by the day.
Oh yes - this promises to be a happy episode indeed. /snark

Each week, Blue Jersey Radio streams LIVE with New Jersey's latest political buzz, interviews with newsmakers, and your stimulating calls.
This Week: one week since Election Day, we're LIVE at 8:00 p.m. tonight with our 3-man roundtable - me, Jason and Adam - breaking down what happened, what's happening, and what happens next.
They say a week is an eternity in politics. I guess that explains how in just one week, John Adler could lose his mind, Dick Codey could have one last laugh, Loretta Weinberg could show her enduring class, Scott Garrett could vote against helping people, and Chris Christie would threaten a state of emergency - all in a week's work!
