The first anniversary of the last big political corruption roundup in NJ goes by almost unnoticed. One of the suspects - former Assemblyman Lou Manzo - has been cleared on a technicality and is now going after Governor Christie about the timing...right before election season.
Somewhat surprised that Seaside Heights officials greet MTV's "Jersey Shore" with open arms? Consider: Almost 10,000 hotel-room bookings and about 90,000 meals for cast and crew in the past two years; lots of work for carpenters, plumbers and electricians as well as on-camera extras; and all of the Boardwalk businesses that are getting extra money in the tills. The garage door is becoming a shrine.
Looking into the last big month of summer:
National Stop On Red Week, first week of August. Is anyone else troubled that we now need a week to remind us to do this?
National Night Out, Tuesday 8/3. We used to sit on the porch to remind burglars that they can't expect to just break into our houses. Now, we go to parks and town squares for big celebrations and leave the houses alone while the burglars...um...uh-oh.
Open Forum, WOBM-AM, August 11th: The enemies of Beachwood Mayor Ron Jones rebut his July appearance on the program, and Jackson Mayor Mike Reina discloses that furloughs are just the start of their real budget troubles.
Thursday, August 12th, a joint session of the state Senate and Assembly environment committees in Toms River explores the possibility of tougher regulations for fertilizer use. Environmentalists say the popular quick-release type is flooding Barnegat Bay and other watersheds with nitrogen - marine life dying, algae flourishing and jellyfish abounding.

Memo outlines backdoor 'amnesty' plan

Here are the 5th and 6th paragraphs from the Blue Ribbon link.
Said Assemblyman Joe Vas (D-Middlesex), Mayor of Perth Amboy and the Hispanic Legislative Caucus’s representative on the panel, “UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS have become an incredibly important facet of our nation’s economy and they deserve to be treated in a matter that is respectful and well-reasoned,” said Assemblyman Vas. “It's good to see New Jersey moving in a rational manner where the federal government has failed so miserably. This advisory panel is solid step toward fostering a constructive dialogue on the immigration issue. It will enable all parties to avoid the xenophobic and ill-informed hysteria that too often accompanies the issue.”
The Governor’s Executive Order authorizes the Panel to call upon any department, office, division or agency of the State to supply it with any information, personnel or other assistance available as deemed necessary to carry out its duties. As the Panel begins to deliberate on issues such as farm labor, DRIVING PRIVILEGES and other issues it deems necessary, the Panel will consult with experts in those fields.
