Jersey City Police are investigating two pedestrian strikes that occurred at separate locations in the city on Saturday afternoon.
According to police, the first incident happened at approximately 2:45 p.m. in the area of Congress Street and Sherman Avenue. Officials say emergency responders found a male -around the age of 24- suffering injuries after a beige Nissan Pathfinder struck him then sped away from the scene. The victim's injuries were not immediately reported as life-threatening. Officials say, in the other incident, police and EMS were called to the vicinity of Woodlawn Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive to investigate reports of an injured person before 3 p.m. When emergency responders arrived, they found an unidentified person suffering a serious head injury after a car struck them at that location.

1. You are not required, by law (in NJ and NY), to show any form of ID at a polling station. 2. If you don't understand how easy it is to get a fake SS number (or rent a "real" one), then you don't really comprehend how easy it is for undocumented individuals to circumvent U.S laws. It is how many, many work, bank and live here. And it's simpler than you may think (and a heck of a lot more prevalent).

New York's motor-voter laws are based on the honor system. There are no checks to verify if someone is a legitimate voter. So while guidelines are in place, there is no method established for voter verification - just a simple opt-in to register when a license is obtained.
?Theoretically, they could have the ability to vote...? Legislative sponsor Luis Sep?lveda (D-Bronx) admitted the provision could be abused. Loophole in law granting illegal immigrants driver?s licenses could lead to voter fraud

Doesn't seem like the NA's are pushing for this - more like the unions (which makes more sense given the sudden and swift change by JC): (From the comment section of the JJ article:) 8 hours ago - Nathan "I have been hosting Airbnb in Jersey City since 2012. My maintenance and upkeep of my property is impeccable. My relationship with my neighbors and guests are excellent. Airbnb offers a niche market that no one else will fill. I?ve hosted divorcees that desperately needed a place to stay; a family put out due to foreclosure; young people with good jobs but poor credit, people relocating, college students, etc. But mostly tourist worldwide and business travelers, these people would have never stepped foot in Jersey City if it wasn?t for Airbnb. They shop and eat locally, it?s a boom to the economy. There are no hotels in my neighborhood. But the hotel lobby has stuck their fat nose into my private property rights and personal business. My little Airbnb business bothers no one, and we are not the cause for high rents. Check your facts (see Bloomberg study). I was at the city council meeting tonight and there was overwhelming support for Airbnb. Only the hotel workers union, wearing their matching t-shirts and waving their signs was for this draconian ordinance. It is so obvious and corrupt. If jersey city residents don?t stand up now, no kind private property will be safe from over regulation and taxation. " Source
