A few weeks ago strange red lights started appearing in the skies over Morris County, and some people suspected they were UFOs. Actually, there were UFOs because they were flying objects people couldn't identify. Some people thought they were spaceships filled with aliens, then.
Now we have a series of Morris County earthquakes that are puzzling the experts.
Could it be that, just like in 1939 when aliens landed in Grover's Mill, NJ and it was covered up by the government, that recent reports of the police saying the lights were balloon candles are hiding the fact that these aliens are creating earthquakes?
We report, you deride.

Like we didn't see this coming when the seat opened up. After the newly elected Democrat on council resigned before being sworn in, this is what the Republican Borough Attorney in Rockaway had to say a few weeks ago:Since Hiler wasn't sworn in, borough Attorney Edward Wacks said the seat remains Republican, and the term will be filled after the local Republican Party submits three names for the council to consider. One will be appointed, and then there will be an election in November to fill the unexpired term. So he kept an open mind, carefully considered the arguments and.... ruled the exact same way he said before he even examined the issue:Before the council went behind closed doors to discuss who should fill the vacant seat, borough attorney Edward Wacks told members it should be filled by a Republican since it was last officially held by one. This is what I said at the time:So the Borough Attorney says he will hear what both sides say, even though he seems to have decided he likes the Republican argument more before they start. Does it matter what the voters said, or do we just disregard their opinion? The guy was the 2nd highest vote getter in an election where nearly 3/4 of the voters turned out. The next highest vote getter was also a Democrat. The voters sent a message and someone needs to listen. Apparently the answer is we disregard the fact that Democrats were the 2nd and 3rd highest vote getter. All the Democrat had to do was get sworn in and none of this would be an issue. The Democrats would have been the last party that held the seat and therefore have a name chose from their list of three. Now they are left to possibly challenge the ruling in court. The Morris County Democratic Chair has already indicated they may pursue that course of action. Nobody really wins though, because both the town and county party will have to pay legal fees to solve this problem. After twenty years, Democrats are going to have to wait longer to get some representation on Council in Rockaway.

They were supposed to have the first Democrat on council in Rockaway in twenty years, but something happened on the way to the swearing in: Scott Hiler, 28, was the second highest voter-getter on Election Day, behind Republican Thomas Mulligan, who took the oath of office with his family by his side.
Snyder read into the record a letter dated Dec. 31, 2008, from Hiler, who wasn't at the meeting, prior to Mulligan being seated.
"For personal reasons I will not be able to fulfill my upcoming duties for the borough of Rockaway," Snyder read. "Therefore, I am submitting my notice of resignation effective immediately. The guy couldn't even show up at the meeting to resign, he had to have someone read a statement? And because he wasn't sworn in before resigning, the Democrats now have to fight again just to keep the seat. Here's the Republican argument according to the GOP chair:"The law is clear," Sette said. "There never was an elected Democrat in office. He never took his seat. The last person to serve was a Republican who was in office until Dec. 31. So it's a Republican call for a replacement." The Democrats disagree with that assessment of the situation:"I would tell you I was blindsided by this," said Morris County Democratic Party Chairman Lewis Candura. "I wish he would have spoken to me first and had taken office.
"But state law says because he was a Democrat and elected by the people, even if he did not take his seat he should be replaced by a Democrat," Candura said. The Borough attorney will have to decide between the two arguments, even though it seems like he already has his mind made up:Since Hiler wasn't sworn in, borough Attorney Edward Wacks said the seat remains Republican, and the term will be filled after the local Republican Party submits three names for the council to consider. One will be appointed, and then there will be an election in November to fill the unexpired term. So the Borough Attorney says he will hear what both sides say, even though he seems to have decided he likes the Republican argument more before they start. Does it matter what the voters said, or do we just disregard their opinion? The guy was the 2nd highest vote getter in an election where nearly 3/4 of the voters turned out. The next highest vote getter was also a Democrat. The voters sent a message and someone needs to listen.

Maybe they haven't read the latest headlines on foreclosures, cuts and job layoffs:Dover's board of aldermen said they will consider Monday night whether to give themselves a 60 percent raise, or more than $3,000 more each year, and whether to give the mayor a 70 percent raise, an annual pay hike of nearly $5,000. We're not talking huge sums of money, but talk about tone deaf. I hear from friends having difficulty filing for unemployment and they're voting themselves raises for part time jobs? I loved the justification too:Alderman Michael Picciallo said the pay increase should not be considered a raise because it's less than the alderman received five years ago. He said the board and the mayor deserve salary increases because they work hard, put in extra hours and contribute money to town organizations.
"I'm not doing this to make money," said Picciallo, a business analyst for Cablevision. "I feel the more money I get, the more I can help the community ... whatever comes in goes out." Not a raise, was he able to say that with a straight face? Should the people who are collecting unemployment not call it a pay cut because they made less before they got the job to be fired from? An on helping the community, the last time I went to serve meals at the food bank, they didn't charge me. If you want to help the community, do it. If you need more money, get another part time job that isn't on the taxpayers dime.Alderman Fahy voted no and talked about what has been cut in the town recently: Fahy agreed, saying the town has cut capital improvement projects and services like recycling and leaf pickups, "and now, all of a sudden we find this money for an almost 70 percent increase in the (mayor's) salary? I think it's ridiculous."
"It's not like we haven't had a raise and now we're trying to backtrack," Fahy added. "We've had raises over a period of time." And don't forget, this will also get them a better deal in the pension system. The town has been considering consolidation, they've cut services and projects yet these guys are focused on putting some more money in their pockets? At the very least, this is bad timing.

Many people projected that Somerset County and the NJ7 would go blue as part of the Obama wave. It didn't happen...not even close. Why? How did the Freeholder and NJ7 campaigns go so wrong? Or is this "As Good As It Gets?"
In Republican Counties (see useful table below the fold to see where your county sits in the rank), I think there has been too much focus on county-wide, Legislative, and Congressional campaigns. These county and regional campaigns just don't seem to be winable...not yet. I feel that the focus should be on municipal success. We need to build strong Democratic Municipal Committees (DMCs). Strong DMCs can do grassroots education to make voters understand the importance of local, county, and congressional government positions. And a strong DMC is vital for building the resumes and experience of candidates at the higher levels. We need to crawl before we can walk.

Do you ever get sick of hearing how so many people are leaving New Jersey, or want to leave New Jersey, or plan to leave New Jersey. Why would anyone want to live here, anyway? It's actually become a recurring theme from republican politicians and candidates who alternately seek to paint New Jersey as either anti-business or anti-family.
So, when I saw that Forbes Magazine recently rated the top 20 counties in the U.S. to raise a family, I was sure New Jersey couldn't possibly fair well. Right?
Wrong. The magazine used ten data points, including such things as air quality, crime rate, commute time, graduation rate and standardized test scores. But, significantly, in order to account for disparities in incomes from state to state, it also took into account cost of living, home price, and property tax rate as a percentage of median home price.
And guess what? New Jersey landed 3 counties in the top 20 best places to raise a family - more than any other state - with Morris County leading the way at #6, Hunterdon just behind at #7, and Somerset finishing strongly at #16. Plus, the article notes that some wealthy counties in the nation didn't make the cut because their rankings were tainted by too high home prices. Makes me wonder how close counties like Bergen or Essex or Monmouth might have been to making the cut, save for the home prices there. It must have been close.
I guess if we keep this up, no one will want to live in New Jersey anymore - it'll be too popular.

Update: I spoke with Chairman Perr last night, and he doesn't agree with this characterization. Perr said that any campaign that asks has equal access to the Mt Laurel office space. The email from Michael Muller, the NJ Clinton campaign director, said that "the Burlington County Democratic Committee will host phone banks at their headquarters, 7000 Atrium Way in Mount Laurel, to help spread Hillary's message of change" so I take them at their word that they will also host phone banks for the Edwards or Obama campaigns. Has anyone requested to use the space and resources?
Also, two more BurlCo municipal chairs chimed in on the situation. One said that they never received the emails we noted below: "It gets even worse - the County Dem Officers DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY to send their emails to all County Committee Chairs... the emails from Jan 2 and Jan 9 that you cite never even arrived here...[...]... this is maddening - and does nothing to encourage party building at any level..." This agrees with what Perr said. The emails were sent to the chair and vice chair's personal contacts, not the whole county committee (it wasn't clear to me if such an email list exists) or even all the municipal chairs.
Another writes: "I am one of those in Burlco who was not pleased by the lack of Democracy in the decision to endorse Hillary. Chairman Perr talks about transparency, but the process to choose Hillary was completely opaque. I invite you to visit our County website http://www.burlcodems.com/cale... and check the Calendar. As of right now there are NO Committee meetings listed. Our bylaws state that we should conduct meetings monthly."
Although the Burlington County Democratic Committee has never voted to endorse anyone for the presidential primary, party leadership has decided to devote the county party's resources to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Many rank and file County Committee members are not happy.
On Wednesday, January 2nd, Chairman Rick Perr emailed Democrats to announce the "kick-off the Hillary Clinton campaign office" in their Mount Laurel office.
On Wednesday, January 9th, Vice Chairwoman Alice Furia forwarded a Clinton campaign email and urged members to "Please volunteer" for a Clinton phone bank. The Clinton email read in part: "Starting Monday, the Burlington County Democratic Committee will host phone banks at their headquarters, 7000 Atrium Way in Mount Laurel, to help spread Hillary's message of change."
This comes just weeks after Perr penned an editorial in the Burlington County Times supporting Senators Diane Allen and Loretta Weinberg's legislation for more transparency in the political process: I firmly believe the strength of our governmental institutions, including our political parties, which are intricately intertwined in our government, derives in large part from its transparency, openness and adherence to a set of rules and standards upon which the informed and uninitiated alike can rely. [...]
We add to voter apathy when we continue to send signals that government and the political parties are closed to everyone but the well-connected. Several Burlington County Democrats say there was no transparency in how this happened. Though Perr and Furia support Clinton, the county committee was never asked for its input. Still, the Mt Laurel Democratic headquarters have been turned into Clinton headquarters and the only emails that have been sent out have been in support of Clinton.
This isn't the way democracy is supposed to work. The state party tried to stack the deck for Clinton by asking that she be put at the top of every ballot, and once it became public knowledge, the plan backfired and they reversed course. Burlington County's leadership apparently didn't get that memo.
In contrast, the Middlesex Democrats - despite leadership being strongly for Clinton - sent this out to their members: Dear Middlesex County Voter,
I am writing today to give you information on how to get involved with the presidential campaigns here in Middlesex County. The two Presidential campaigns that have Offices in Middlesex County are the Hillary for President Campaign and the Obama for President Campaign.
Both campaigns are looking for people to volunteer their time for phone banking, canvassing and GOTV. No matter who you support please volunteer your time. (their emphasis, not mine) The contact info for both campaigns was provided. That's how democracy should work and the Middlesex County Democrats deserve a lot of credit for this, particularly considering that they're potentially turning out volunteers for a candidate the leadership does not support.
On the other hand, what Burlington County is doing is undemocratic and disrespectful of the rank and file party members - regardless of who they support. It's happening all over the state, and in many cases, the leadership is out of touch with the grassroots. If it's happening in your neck of the woods, let us know.

So, I was reading this Washington Post Security Fix post about how spyware and porn information has been planted in many government and school sites:
It would be great if the compromised Web servers I wrote about last week at Lawrence Livermore National Labs were an aberration, but sadly they are not. Conducting a simple Google search for adult-themed search terms found in ".gov" domains produces some very interesting results, including pages serving up adult videos along with a generous helping of spyware.
So I tried searching google with "site:nj.us free porn", and then I tried "site: rutgers.edu"
My advice:
Morris County needs to clean up its Guestbook.
Hunterdon Central High School needs to clean up its weblogs.
Rutgers should look into some of the comments on some forums.
I'm not talking about discussions of sex or government warning about porn, this is porn spam, and it helps spread security problems.
No links provided, and clicking on the sites is supposed to be dangerous (especially if you have an old Windows computer.) But if it's true that any politicians read this site, why not call up those responsible...

I'll keep this brief, because I'm tired and want to go to bed, but I thought this would be of interest.
In Morris County, the GOP had its open primary for Freeholder. An elderly frequent candidate, James "Jim" Murray decided to run, and was initially kicked off the ballot by County GOP boss John Sette. Murray was successful in getting back on the ballot, however. Now, he has his revenge. With 97% of the vote in, he's ousted Freeholder John Inglesino from his seat! Results in the extended entry...

There is already flooding from today's storm. Senator Menendez has information on how to apply for assistance if you are in one of the six counties that have been approved for federal disaster aid for last weekend's storm. Our senators and many representatives are pressing for the rest of the state to be eligible.
A state report has vindicated Trenton teacher Beverly Jones. Here's what happened:
But in a blistering report issued this week, the state Department of Education confirmed Jones' charges. The DOE's Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance Investigation Unit found that Trenton's top administrative staff exhibited "a pattern of egregious nonfeasance" by inappropriately making dozens of ninth graders repeat classes they'd already passed. Then, to correct the error, the school credited some students with courses not offered at the campus, and gave course credit to other stu dents who had failed to meet district or curriculum standards.
The school, naturally, tried to fire this New Jersey history teacher of the year. That's why tenure protection for teachers and whistleblower laws are so important. Unfortunately, forty students now have their graduatation threatened.
The Star-Ledger has a glowing profile of the SEEDS program, which provides private-school scholarships to high-achieving poor, urban youth. They are considering expanding to public schools.
Many in the state legislature are trying to provide funding for the eliminated sports teams at Rutgers . However, Rutgers is independent of the legislature, so it is not clear that that effort can succeed with the President McCormick opposed. Many (including me) at Blue Jersey have been critical of the decision to eliminate the teams, but do you support the state interfering in the university's internal decisions?
In other Rutgers news, the administrative staff has formed a union. You may recall that Corzine supported their efforts, noting that most workers (including faculty) were already unionized.
Morris County freeholders complain that new state rules protecting water supplies will hurt development.
Some state senators are opposing plans to charge Medicaid co-pays. Only five states do not charge co-pays, but if Texas, Hawaii, Idaho and New Jersey agree on something it must be a good policy!
If no one runs for a seat on the board of education, someone can win with only a few write-in votes. Today's Sunbeam has some recent stories.
If you like gossip, you can read more about the McGreeveys' divorce or Corzine's annual income elsewhere.
This is an open thread so fire away!

(This week's op-ed - promoted by JRB)
Back to basics.
That is the idea the NJ Democratic State Committee and the Democratic
National Committee are striving to accomplish; working from the
grassroots up to establish a sense of unity among the Democratic
Party. As part of the DNC 50 State Partnership program, my colleague
and I have been able to truly engage ourselves into the local and
grassroots level of New Jersey politics.
After working closely on the Flemington council special elections and
the two specials in Ocean County -- South Toms River and Lavallette --
it is apparent that there is a strong sense of party for the Democrats
in these typically Republican towns. After winning two council seats
and falling only a few votes short in a mayor's race where Democrats
are outnumbered almost 6 to 1, the sense of accomplishment and passion
to fight against Republican control has grown immensely.
Picking up council seats in Flemington and South Toms River proved to
the Republicans that voters are ready for a change. Voters want to be
heard. They expect their local officials to be responsive and find
solutions for the needs of the communities; to help the people. This
is what the newly elected council members are working to accomplish.
With help from Democracy for America (DFA), College Democrats from across
the State and local and county volunteers the Democratic Party has
been able to make big strides in small areas.
One exceptional volunteer and devoted Democrat, Rosi Efthim, from the
Hunterdon County DFA did not only help in the Flemington Special
Elections but traveled across the state to be an important volunteer
in South Toms River (Ocean County). Without people like Rosi or the
other DFA members that have been beyond supportive of the 50 State
Partnership Program and building Democracy at the grassroots level,
none of this would be possible.
Our next project is a Township Committee special election in Morris
Township where we are working with the dedicated team of Morris County
Democrats to elect Jeff Grayzel. The Republicans have all five seats
on the township committee, but Jeff has been fighting hard for the
past four years, gaining inroads. His tenacity paid off when he won on
Election Day this year. However, his election was then challenged and
ruled to be a tie. Now we face the task of "re-electing" Jeff Grayzel
on May 1.
Because this is a larger race than the past elections, we will need
your help. We need at least 35 to 40 volunteers for weekend walks and
calls, as well as 100 volunteers for Election Day. Please come out and
support Democrats from across the state! As Bill Clinton once said
"There is nothing wrong in American that can not be cured by what is
right in America." It is the little strides we take as Democrats that
create Democracy.
Mary Campbell is a regional field organizer for the New Jersey
Democratic State Committee and a liaison to the DNC's State
Partnership Program.

From the tuesday Star Ledger.
Close Morris Twp. vote gets May rerun
Cost: More than $50,000 to fill a $9,000 committee job
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
BY MARGARET McHUGH
Star-Ledger Staff
With Morris Township's contested election hinging on one vote, a call to a former resident living 8,658 miles away in Thailand seemed to be the way to resolve it.
Problem was, Alfred Lee yesterday couldn't remember who he voted for. That left Judge Theodore Bozonelis with little choice: He's sending voters back to the polls.
Alfred Lee was in Thailand and had used an absentee ballot. So its a tie 4217 to 4217.

Today a judge in Morris County ordered a Special Election for the contested seat on the Morris Township Committee in Morris Township NJ. The Democrats have not won a seat in Morris Township, my hometown, in 35 years (Since Watergate) A win here would be a serious blow to the Morris County GOP which has run Morris Township like a fiefdom for decades.
Democrat Jeff Grayzel, who is the Democratic candidate in the special election is a committed progressive, community organizer and activist. He first ran for Morris Township committee 4 years ago, on opposition to a major development that would destroy a pristine part of the Township near his house. He is committed to having Morris Township join the cool cities campaign and stopping overdevelopment here. He has been running for 4 years straight, and has increased his numbers every year.
We are seriously outnumbered in Morris Township 5,500 Rs to only 2,500 Ds but 7,000 Us. We need all the help we can get. Stay tuned in the coming days for how you can help us. The election will likely be on April 24th.

Dana Wefer (albeit from many days ago):The first question that must be asked is why New Jersey, especially as an overall progressive state, has such a poor record of putting women in office. There are, of course, the usual factors that apply across the board: women have more difficulty raising money, women may be discouraged from running for office or encouraged to run for offices regarded as embodying female attributes, and some studies show that women are at a 10% disadvantage just because of their gender. These factors apply equally in Kansas and New Jersey though, so why does New Jersey do so much worse than Kansas when it comes to electing women to office? Sign the pledge. Draft Dana.

(I just signed the pledge. Dana is a great investment. Great idea Tex, I hope she goes for it! - promoted by njdem)
 I've watched for two years now as Dana Wefer has struggled to bring good government to the citizens of Morris County. For two years in a row, she has logged more miles, shaken more hands, and tallied more votes than any Democrat running for Freeholder in Morris County in decades. There is no doubt in my mind that, were she to run for Freeholder this year, she would break her own records once again.
But, as badly as she is needed to help within Morris County, there is somewhere she is needed even more - in Trenton. As an Assemblywoman.
New Jersey has a shortage of women who are willing to step out in front and lead the parade. Yes, the Assembly isn't quite the "good ol' boys club" it used to be, but it is in desperate need of fresh faces, strong young voices, and new ideas. Dana, I believe, is more than qualified to be the first of our next generation of Democrats that will make New Jersey proud.
If you want to be a force for change in New Jersey, then join me by signing this pledge and convince Dana to run.

(If the 21-County and 40-District Strategy for New Jersey can succeed like the 50-state strategy has - I think we're onto something. But, let's remember that 40 means 40 - not just 14.
DFA-NJ's County Committee Project is designed to achieve exactly this. Sign up to take part. - promoted by noweeman)
New Jersey politics is very concentrated. There are 21 legislative districts that are completely Democratic. There are five districts that are split (electing one Democratic Senator and seven Democratic Assembly members): the 1st, 2nd, 7th, 12th and 14th. This means that there are fourteen legislative districts that are all Republican. If we want to continue to pin down the Republicans, then we need to have strong challenges in these districts. Instead if Republicans are forced to defend themselves against strong challenges, then their resources are further stretched and there is a chance to score some upsets. So, what I am suggesting is that we try to undertake a local version of Howard Dean's 50-State Project.

Most people think that Morris County is a bastion of Republicanism. It's true that there might not be a whole lot of Democrats, but we work hard and party hard. Thus, our addition of a second Morris County drinking liberally chapter: Dover.
The effort has been spearheaded by Linda Humphries, who did a fantastic job on Tom Wyka's campaign (Thanks to Linda on both and many more counts!)
For those of you who would like to venture up to Morris to drink liberally and have some fun at the expense of neocons once or twice a month, we will be at "The Hop" in Dover every first Thursday of the month (14 North Morris Street, Dover, NJ) and the "Famished Frog" in Morristown on every third Thursday. Hope some of you will venture out!

(Dana is a fantastic candidate who could use your help! - promoted by noweeman)
Things in the Morris County Freeholder race are really heating up. I am proud to announce that I have been endorsed by every local paper that has made endorsements in the Freeholder race, including the Daily Record. I have also been honored with endorsements from Garden State Equality, Democrats2000 and NJ Democracy for America. We have been working hard all campaign season issuing press releases, talking to voters and knocking on doors. The voters are responding because there is a clear distinction between the Democratic ticket and the Republican ticket. At every candidate forum we have attended the Democrats have demonstrated a true understanding of how county government fits into New Jersey's overall governmental structure. The Republicans, in contrast, have failed to provide specific solutions to county problems and their constant ranting about Trenton can't help but demonstrate that they are hoping to distract from their own mis or non-understanding of how county government can and should serve the people.
