I could,nt agree more Todd. The people of this State would rather close their eye's and their mouths, rather than stand up and fight for their rights.

I can remember long ago, my father told me the State had been corrupt for as long as he could remember. I still laugh when I think about the Parkway going to toll free after so many years, and here it is 2006 and they're still floating the bonds.

Or in layman's terms, New Jersey will have to wait a little longer for new terminals.

State to rebid lottery deal as lobbyist concerns arise

Abelow ended special hearings that have been going on before former state Supreme Court Justice Daniel O'Hern Jr. and said the department will move quickly to solicit new bids.
