I agree the current law needs to be changed. Need to be real careful about implementing any changes though if they don't want to create a bigger problem - I think the current proposal will just confuse the issue more. Personally, I think pedestrians should be required to signal their intent to...

Seems like things are at least moving in the right direction when compared against where we were in November. Hopefully it keeps improving.

I think you mean town strip mall.

All of you may want to go back and check with your accountants - NJ Sales and Use Tax is (and has always been) required to be paid on mail order and internet purchases. B&H is just making it easier by collecting it for you now. I sure hope all of you have not been cheating the state out of...

Not sure I get how a Sandy grant was approved to remove the poles. Seems like a bit of a stretch.

Bob - Please don't think I was trying to disparage any of the good Byrne did, and he did do a lot of good for south Jersey. Let's just say I find it disappointing to see his name allowed to be used for fundraising by an organization such as the PPA.

Brendan Byrne is the honorary chair of the PPA board of trustees, and his son Timothy is also one of their trustees (PPA Trustees). In my mind that would mean he is implicitly involved in what is going on. What makes you think they are trying to serve the community? I think it's more like...

Circular reference mentioned in post #67 confirmed. Are they making money off the backs of fellow citizens or now stuck paying more for their own retirements? TTF beefs up ability to sell bonds directly to state pension funds

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...
