only added 0.14 overnight, and it doesn't look like much in the forecast for the next week.

We are up to whopping 0.42" since yesterday morning - not exactly the soaking we needed. Forecast is calling for another 0.5-0.75 tonight, hopefully we get more.

The terminology you are using is not correct, but I think you have the idea. Dividends are monies (usually profits) paid to shareholders (the business owners). With bonds it is a little different. Bonds are more similar to a loan - the person that takes the loan, the issuer (the state in our...

Yes, this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't question - either way the public stands to lose. I'd like the money fenced off to, but not if they are going to use it to mortgage our future, which, based on my understanding, is their plan. It would be very nice if this was made more clear...

I can't answer if I understand it better then anyone else, but I can say I used to work in the corporate world and have degrees in both accounting and finance, so I do have some level of understanding. That said, I think I'd be wearing an orange jump suit if i had tried to operate like the...

I think any way you slice it a significant portion of the incremental gas tax that went into effect this week will go towards debt service. Currently the NJ TTF is about $16 Billion in debt ( http://www.state.nj.us/ttfa/financing/bonds.shtm#outstanding ), on which the TTF will owe about $1.3...

Here is the story I think - http://www.njtvonline.org/news/video/debate-ballot-question-dedicate-fuel-tax-ttf/ My take away was slightly different: A 'yes' vote will allow them to bond an additional $12 billion A 'no' vote will force the governor and legislature to spend real money Under no...

It's starting to make sense why we are being asked to dedicate the revenue from the gas tax. Who wouldn't want a credit card that required someone else to pay the bill.... From the Press of Atlantic City: "It also underscores an important point about the ballot question: It asks voters to...

To quote Forrest: "Stupid is as stupid does." Hopefully they have relocated the camera after publishing those pictures.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but wasn't there a claim made, when the whole MAP thing started, that the Wharton Superintendent walked every road and trail in the forest, to develop the MAP?

It will be interesting to see if/where the problem shifts, though, not sure one can say there is no enforcement in other areas. I've seen park police on numerous occasions this year in Lebanon and Bass River. The WMA's primarily fall under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation...

Would seem the police are doing just that, regardless of what the propaganda says - From the NJ Spotlight article link in post#12: "Six state park officers, up from only two, are now assigned to patrol the forest, and they are writing more tickets, Texel said. From March to July this year...

On the surface, it makes sense to me to tie gas tax revenue to road projects, not that the proposed amendment does this. I see this specific question, if passed, having more impact on the legislature rather then we the people since it will make a significant sum of money much harder to touch...

Antares rocket scheduled to launch from Wallops this Sunday about 8:03PM. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/wallops/home

It's still a ways away, but...

And the low off the coast is currently stationary, but expected to slowly move up the coast over the next 36 hours or so: http://www.aviationweather.gov/progchart/sfc Current: 36 hours:

Pretty close, or it seemed that way. The helicopter was approximately where the marker is in the above link. I was driving NE on Kerns and could hear it, but couldn't see it, approaching the field I could see "something" (first picture posted). I would guess I stopped 30 yards or beyond the...

We have a winner! Not a tank, but not something one would expect to find in the middle of the road. Pretty amazing they had it tucked in there like that.

Just found this: So much for the restoration, it looks like the NJCF trashed a place that was well cared for by ORV enthusiast, pretty ironic. Has anyone been back there recently?
