(In)complete List Of NJ Local Pay-to-Play Laws

Found this this morning.  Click on the image to go to the page. Haven’t had time to read any of them yet but here’s something interesting; Why is Belmar missing?  Any theories?

Almost Cut My Hair

It’s been sort of a private joke that I never mentioned publicly.  People do ask me why I don’t get a haircut and I don’t know why.  I guess I just don’t feel like bothering, especially since I’m not running for office anymore.  Anyway my wife likes it long and untamed and it does sort […]

The Long Strange Trip Of A 29 Day Report

In this post I will recount the journey of a 29 Day Pre-Election report for the “Jen and Connie for Council 2011” campaign.

OK.  A few questions: The check was recorded […]

Train Talk

Also heard on the train; Crunched in a dining car booth, Monmouth County Republican Chairman Shaun Golden, Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon, and Republican attorney Brian Nelson like their chances in McMansion-dominant Monmouth. Someone amid the jostling cars mentioned – with glee – the difficult time Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty – a Democratic candidate for […]
