Here’s the Situation: Call to Block “Jersey Shore” Tax Credit

16 September 2011

When you live in Philadelphia, you have to make fun of New Jersey. I think it’s in the City charter or something.

We survived Irene. Five days without power and water felt like an eternity but we were very lucky to otherwise not sustain any real damage. My kids were safe albeit a little cranky.

NJ Budget Battle Heats Up: Senate President Claims He Wants to Punch Governor

5 July 2011

As a mom, I’ve seen it a million times. One kid promises to play nice and doesn’t. So the other kid gets mad and throws a tantrum, calls some names. And the other kid says mean things back. And then it spirals out of control. It’s a tough situation to handle with five year olds. [...]

Is New Jersey Running Out of Money?

30 September 2010

New Jersey taxpayers bear one of the highest state and local tax burdens in the country, a fact that wasn’t lost on voters in the most recent gubernatorial election. Residents generally took some solace in the fact that they receive, on average, a significant amount of services from the government (including well-funded and high-performing public [...]

Will Money Pull LeBron to Miami?

2 July 2010

LeBron James is a wanted man. Just after the first day of the NBA free-agent signing period, at least six teams (including his current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers) want a sit down to discuss a deal. Of course, you and I both know that the Cavs don’t have a chance. Despite being able to offer [...]
