Delays at six times the rate of what New Yorkers ride into the city. Our leaders should be embarrassed. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
New Jersey Transit, the commuter rail serving New York City for the state, has a reputation for frustrating delays and frequent cancellations. An analysis of real-time train data shows that it is less reliable than its New York and Connecticut counterparts — Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) — and riders face significant service disruptions at six times the rate of other commuters. About one in every 18 NJ Transit trains was delayed by at least 15 minutes or canceled completely in May, June and July. For an average commuter, that meant a bad commute roughly every two weeks, versus once every three months or more on the more reliable lines to New York and Connecticut suburbs.

Nobody has been at my assemblyman's office since at least Friday, if these FedEx slips are any indication. lmao.

An outrageous betrayal by my state senator. Is there anyone or anything Trenton wouldn't sell out for power and self-enrichment?

I don't know about everyone else, but my bill *already* went up by *more* than 20%. What's with the victory lap?
Op-Ed: We need more transparency as NJ energy prices rise 'At the center of the problem is a conflict of interest' involving public utilities By New Jersey Assemblyman Robert Karabinchak New Jersey families could have seen their electricity bills rise by as much as 20% this year. Fortunately, the Legislature and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities recently took action to mitigate that increase and provide ratepayers with financial relief.

Battered and rusted but still standing—happy to see that my Eagle Scout project, the American flag drop box at the Scotch Plains American Legion post, survived Monday's floods! Ten years old now.
An old city mailbox done up in the colors of the American flag with a star design, a label reading U.S. FLAG DROP, and the American Legion logo.
