   #1,#2 The accident in question began at the old Connelly Station, which to my information held a full license. Additionally the nearness to a school inpacted the vehicular charges not the bar in question.

   Druz is correct about that death by auto. Not sure of the other two or more within that year.

   Actually I asked the woman at Christie’s office about that and she said it only becomes law if he signs it and that failing to sign it is the same as vetoing it. I wouldn’t doubt if she was wrong though.

   New Jersey The governor must sign or veto legislation within 45 days of transmittal, or it becomes law without his/her signature. If the bill’s chamber of origin is in recess, the 45-day deadline may be extended to the date that the chamber reconvenes. After session adjournment, the governor must act within 7 days after the end of the session, or the legislation becomes law.

   What can be done to make help him veto this law? There’s already enough drinking in town. At least in the off season I can enjoy going out to dinner.

    #11. Go to google earth. Clearly visible are 4 backyard semi permanent structures at D’Jais which make up the rear “beer garden”. You can also see the 2 huge steel shipping containers on the south side extending into parking lot which I think are used for storage. The new fence they put up on south side near beer garden likely to hide the porta potties which are used by patrons in the outdoor area.

    Turns out Christie’s office was right. It’s called a “pocket veto”.

    From today’s Press:

    TRENTON – How’s this for a little light reading before a weekend trip to Iowa? New Jersey lawmakers plopped 158 bills onto Gov. Chris Christie’s desk in the waning days of the legislative session — on matters running the gamut from guns to tobacco.

    Christie will have until noon Tuesday to sign or veto the legislation. He has an extra option that’s not available at other times, as well – a pocket veto, which only exists at the end of a two-year session, in which a bill dies because a governor simply doesn’t act on it.

    to the fatal accident caused by a drunk driver on 8th Ave that occurred before the regular seasonal when under executive order was issued allowing for the 3 bars in Belmar to be open.

    Druz as usual is wrong and dumb, it ENDED at Connolly Station the driver was visibly drunk when he arrived. Many witnesses including bartenders will attest to that as the trial for this case as it proceeds. At the time the closest other open bar was one of the seasonal bars. READ Druz read you so full misinformation.
