"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."
We are very fortunate to have two (2) two very qualified candidates in Chris Christie and Steve Lonegan each trying to win the Gubernatorial Primary to become the Governor of New Jersey this year.
With rumors of Governor Corzine stepping down after the Gubernatorial Primaries this year. The question is will State Senator Richard Codey be the Democratic Party's choice as Governor?
Sources in contact with officials at the highest levels of the New Jersey Democratic Party have confirmed what the rest of us have come to realize here in New Jersey.
The fact is everyone including Governor Corzine's own Party knows he cannot win reelection as [...]
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (3-YEAR TERM; VOTE FOR 3): 
The new school budget was approved yesterday by the voters of Cranbury and today the school / board of education web site is hacked.
A large crowd of taxpayers from Cranbury and surrounding communities throughout New Jersey gathered tonight for the Tax Day Tea Party at the Cranbury Inn.
The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.
Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive, reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and it's time we rebelled.
Man is not free unless government is limited.... As government expands, liberty contracts.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
-Ronald Reagan

That's it we are in the 11th hour and COAH plans are due tomorrow. Of course there is also still COAH news...
There are only 2 days left for municipalities in New Jersey to file their COAH plans so they are deemed COAH compliant.
With only 3 days left until municipalities must file their COAH plans Governor Corzine still has time to issue an executive order extending the deadline.
With only four days left until towns must submit their COAH plans to protect them from builders remedy lawsuits. We still have time for an extension via an executive order from Governor Corzine.
In a press release today it was announced that NJ Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean and other members of the State Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee announced they intended to file a lawsuit again Governor Jon Corzine.
Governor Corzine and Assembly Speaker Roberts have made this holiday season even more special then years past for the taxpayers of New Jersey due to the affordable housing regulations they worked so hard to pass earlier this year.
With only 11 days until COAH plans need to be submitted we have towns that have appeals denied and we have other towns passing plans well just because they have to or else they fear being sued via a builders remedy.
It is being reported that The Housing & Community Development Network of New Jersey, the Fair Share Housing Center and the New Jersey Branch of the NAACP have been reviewing several municipalities 3rd round affordable housing plans which are due by December 31st of this year.
Municipalities around the State are scrambling and spending thousands of their taxpayers dollars all in an effort to get their COAH plans ready by December 31st of this year.
