It's the same garbage in every NJ county. We look to consolidaite the costs of government with mergers of police forces and most of the problems come from Republican strongholds. In Somerset County the merger of all municipal police forces under county rule was shot down by affluent Republican communitees who want to control their own police forces. Christie better get his act together and lead those Republican communitees to a public saftey answer that works for everyone. Property taxes will never come down with the legacy costs of pensions for thousands of police chiefs and their their leadership. How much redundancy do we need? I have property on the edge of a municipality and I've always felt like the police protection is second rate because their job ends on 200 feet from my home. I've had 4 break-ins in the last 4 years and the excuse is always the problem is coming from the next town.

I guess the good jobs for Americans in this country will always have foriegn competion as long as the financial incentives for corporations and the wealthy exist in their present forms.“From a business perspective, hiring temporary workers from abroad can help a firm reduce its costs,” said William Rodgers, professor of labor market policy at Rutgers University.
“While being just as productive as the domestic worker, the foreign-born temp worker may be willing — or out of necessity be forced to — work at a lower wage, for reduced benefits.”
And people don't think there is class warfare going on. It's about as close to class warfare as you can get without the violence.

Maybe this game is just a reminder to these clowns that they aren't as good as they think. The idea that James would even bring up the idea that this team was better than the original Dream team shows the real lack of basketball intellegence on this "dream team". He may be a great player but he is not a great basketball mind. Anyone can win with a stacked deck and these guys almost lost to a team with no aces or picture cards.

The issue I'm worried about is that anyone can buy an election or issue in this country if they have the money. The air waves and political dialog are now controled by wealthy individuals or corporations. The right to vote is even being taken away from long time voters with the excuse being voter fraud even though it doesn't happen. Corporate america does not own this country and further attempts by corporations to dictate our nations policies are not part of what a free country should stand for. I'm all for breaking up big corporatation into little pieces focused on their business and not public policy or political leadership. These are the real threats that are actively destroying our democracy.

We pay him to run the state and just after recording the highest jobs loss he runs to raise money for Nit Romney. Christie is the worst.

Nice job Christie. Veto the bill calling for transparency in the PA and then appoint your man who was rejected for the courts because of financial issues to one of the most financially corrupt government agencies. Christie is worse than the rest. He claims to be a government reformer while his political payoffs continue. NJ's head Slime ball is still throwing his weight around.

It's time to wage a financial war on corporations that don't support your beliefs. Citizens United gave me a whole new perspective on Capitalism. Time to put out the picket lines , boycotts and make corporate america accountable for the views they are shoving down our throats. Hiding behind religion to discriminate against anyone is wrong. Funding a crusade against the rights of people is very much in the spirit of the original religious crusades which I think most people find disgusting. This is one step removed and just as disgusting.

Supreme slim balls should be their titles. I guess some people think they are above the law. It's time to clip some wings and make the judicial branch pay the cost of their burden on society. Are all judges brain dead?

Great use of taxpayer money. Not. How long are we going to put up with the senseless deaths of a thousand people a month in Mexico because of this war and prohabition on pot. Forget about people starving in Africa or wars in the middle east. We have some of the worst violence and loss of life created by our continued prohabition.


Christie is just like the guy who got him his job in government. Does "mission accomplished" mean anything to anyone? You can try an spin anything but a pile of crap is still a pile of crap.

Christie wants to give out tax cuts to the wealthy when he's not putting money in the pension fund? And people take him seriously? Give me a break. I look at this pension fund like a loophole in the balenced budget required for state government and Christie is selling out our future. He's just making the problem worse. Kind of like giving tax cuts to the wealthy or running two wars for a decade with no source of funding. It catches up to you.

Christie is focused on Romneys election while NJ residents need jobs. Time to do what you are paid for Christie by the taxpayers instead of playing national politics. Are these the acomplishments of a quality governor. My answer is no.

Just wait until fracking for gas and oil get into high gear. This price increase for water is just the first step. The filtering systems they will require and the cost of the damage to the water system will be paid for by the billed consumers of water and our healthcare system. It's the american way.

The tax cuts went to pay for corporate payoffs. Get over it. Christie is the barker running the NJ political shell game. Undermine the middle class and give their taxes to corporations and the wealthy. We see how financial class warfare is taking over political system. It's time to cut the heads off these slimeballs with this election. The Republicans showed their true colors yesterday by blocking financial disclosure of campaign contributions. It's time to go after the money and put the corporate slimeballs and their shills out to pasture. So hows that county police merger going in Somerset county where the Republican led communitees have turned down merging municipal police? You can't get tax relief without everyone participating and the Republican clowns want it both ways.

SLIME BALLS!!! Time to hold each town's leadership responsible for screwing the people paying their salaries. Fire them.

Management is Brain Dead for the Knicks. This team without Lin is just another crap NBA team. One on one play and no defense will be the name of the game for these high priced imposters. Lin brought with him energy and made role players stars. This will be my last Knick and NBA comment. I know where my basketball dollars won't be going this year.


NJ needs a governor that is not tied to big buisness money. Christie and Corzine are a match set of incompetent slime balls owned by the 1%.

He is the worst possible person for bring the state together to resolve property tax issues and jobs. Everything he stands for is about cutting pensions and public salaries while giving entitlements to corporations and the wealthy. He is a SLIME BALL. I'm all for smaller government but he doesn't do anything to confront Republican communittees like the ones in Somerset County that have no interest in merging police forces. It's the spending in Republican led communitees that establishes the highest wages for public employees in the state. Planning a 10 % income tax cut benefits the wealthy not the majority of taxpayers. NJ needs a middle class to grow it's economy. The idea that he plays Republican Fundraiser while NJ is sinking into an ocean of debt makes me wonder if he should just resign and go the Sarah Palin route. I'm sure Fox has a job waiting for him. It's time for him to take his show some place else.

I was a graduate of RU in 1976 and that year was magic for Rutgers student sport fan. Not only did Rutgers have an undefeated season in Football but their basketball team went 31-0 regular season and lost only in the "final four". I was there for the ringing of the bell on Old Queens Campus after the basketball team finished the regular season undefeated and it was a memory I will always cherish.

Lets keep letting the mexican drug cartels rule our neighboring country with the financial resources promoted by our prohabition. Let a thousand people a month die needlessly in Mexico for our government's stupidity while we voice our outrage about less people dieing in Syria. Let 800,000 people be arrested and procecuted in this country with taxpayer resources for pot. Keep withholding enactment of a medical marijuana law so the pharacutical companies can keep their high price medicines profitable and I can watch my sister with progressive MS suffer needlessly. I am disgusted with this stupidity. Christie is a sellout to the drug industry both legal and illegal. I wonder if he gets money from cartels on both sides of this issue.
