Another case of gov't not working:

The Library of Congress denied my ILL request after my home library queried them twice on my behalf.

Guess I gotta move to NYC. Nowhere in NJ has this book.

So, moving beyond just transit, if the State wanted to build social housing like Montgomery County, MD, could they do it on state property w/o local permission?

Yeah they pretty much can.

The NJDOT has some explicit control over some areas in my town and they just do stuff without consulting the town itself.

I think NJT is more about norms though, because they need cooperation for stations and stuff though.

If we're going to have prisons, it's best that they aren't "woefully outdated".

But, there's something jarring about a picture of people gleefully groundbreaking a prison. Our state's history of respecting prisoners' rights might be adding to it.

Really? State entities can do whatever they want with their property, free of local regulation?

It'd suck if NJT is doing a "muh norms".

So when Sherrill talks about doing this, hopefully she means preempting local zoning to allow it.

Jack Ciatterrelli, the Republican candidate for NJ governor, recently said that Donald Trump deserves an 'A' grade for his second term. This is what New Jersey is getting from a second Donald Trump term: www.nj.com/news/2025/10...
Trump ‘terminates’ $16 billion Hudson River tunnel project linking N.J. and N.Y.C.
President Trump said funding for the $16 billion Gateway Tunnel project is "terminated" at a press conference. New Jersey officials said they will fight to keep the commuter rail project moving.

I'm going to continue to criticize Dems when info about them that I dislike breaks. I don't have that many followers, so you're all free to ignore me when I do so.

I actually don't expect candidates to agree with me on every single issue or act exactly how I want. I do, however, have certain standards. Again, you are free to ignore my standards.

Is she refusing such donations now, or is it just that those PACs aren't making such donations anymore?

I'm a voter, not a campaigner. I must be appealed to. If you find my expectations too high, you are free to ignore them.

I would like them to acknowledge it, express regret, and commit to not doing it again. You know, standard meaningful apology protocol.

Fox News can do what they want. I'm using that info for my own point.

It's actually good to criticize my side in an election, bcs it's honest & my side might improve. I don't regret holding my side to higher standards.
