Christie can earn my future vote by signing laws that would thugs like this away for life - these people can't be rehabilitated! or most can't. especially if they can't read, write or speak decent English.

I agree that municipal consolidation is sorely needed. but you know what it aiin't gonna happen and why?

because those same people who complalin about sky high property taxes want their children in small school districts, etc.

They delivered some mail to me (2x) for someone who lives in Princeton, NJ. My wife was offended as if we live in a working class city!

I would mind a youth center as long as the center made sure that the youth went home after the center closed and didn't vandalize my property, create havoc, rob people or make too much noise.

Those searches are a complete waste..just like those three stuopid questions they ask at the airport as if someone with evil-intent can't lie. If someone with malicious intentions really wanted to rid the PATH, they could easily circumvent the searches.

I think this is just a way for the cops to get overtime!

everyone always says spending is the problem. if spending was so easy to trim, why is it that Republican governors have never really done that much about it. Plus we are in a recession and everyone should know that during recessions tax revenue falls, and it rises with an economic expansion.

The problem is the government tries to cut taxes to the bone during economic expansions,a nd then when recessions hit....

People so easily scream cut this and cut that. I think what is truly needed is a more rational approach by the state to revenue raising. Why is NJ' sales tax, gas txa and cigarette tax so much lower than NY's.

I don't think it is as easy as people say to trim state and municipal workforce. I think we need more teachers, firemen and ploce officers

I am not shocked. I think it is kids from social-economic groups that are failing and the sad thing is that their parents are too stupid or mean to care about their child's education..yet people blame the teachers/schools if certain kids don't want to learn.

Maybe society should take a much harsher attitude to parents who have children who fail in school.

now if they could just do something about the fugly building across the street on barrow

I see an ad from Coca Cola in today's Wall Street Journal toting its sponsorship of the rails-to-trails program which helps convert rail tracks into bicycle tracks/outdoor trails. Someone might want to contact this org and see what they can do for Jersey City.

Oh, this should be fun to watch. Is Schundler the most qualified person to head the state's education department. Can you smell the cronyism already? ROFLMFAO

Christie doesn't have a clue - why not raise the gas and tobacco tax?

I believe there is a bus that goes local from Ikea to Journal Square. You can also take the ferry to Pier 11 and then take the Ikea water shuttle to the Ikea in Brooklyn which is faster I believe and probably more convenient if you live along the waterfront

It's a shame these two guys couldn't be locked up for life

Christie won't get much done; I doubt he'll even have much of an impact on coruption. People will be ready for the Democrats in 4 or 8 years.

Perhaps someone should contact the attorney general so that an investigation can be launched.

I think the most reliable solution would be to take PATH to Penn Station, then take LIRR to jamaica station and then take the AirTrain. I am always surprised at how quick and reliable this is. No hassles, no traffic, no subway breakdowns, cheaper!

What's going on with the old OX space? I see the signs are gone and the windows are covered with brown paper?

Anybody know if the Embankment restaurant will be having their pre-theater menu special - it was FANTASTIC for the last play!

The state should be confined to issuing civil union certificates for all couples, and then letting the churches perform marriages if they want to. So one could have a Catholic marriage or a [monogamous] Muslim wedding

Has the City or the JMUA done anything to remedy the flooding downtown? I believe NYC is building massive holding tanks so that it can be certain to treat the water.

I think a bookstore would be great but I don't think now is the time. There is not enough critical mass yet. I hope this changes.

My mistake, I skimmed the article.

I wouldn't be surprised if the complainer was a Christie supporter. Such petty people.

Maybe she should explore volunteer opportunities to pass the time or become a writer or artists.

I saw it last week and it was very good. At first, I thought to myself what is this? I'll leave at intermisson - but 15 minutes I was HOOKED. Almost as good as Housewives of....

The prix fixe meal at the embankment was also very good.

I've seen many people with drains above the street...but why not put the drain below the sidewalk?

Has the Loew's considered teaming up/seeking help/donations from the Home Depot or Lowe's for the restoration work - seems like this would be a great tie-in for either

Halloween is coming up. Maybe they should show Stroker's Count Dracula.

the law required him to do something,. he didn't do it so he broke the law..even if these were just ethics laws
