Josh Gottheimer Excepts donations from disgraced former NJ Senator Bob “the Torch,”” Torricelli

Ridgewood Nj, NJ.COM is reporting that Josh Gottheimer received $1,000 from former disgraced former NJ Senator Bob”the Torch,” Torricelli . “The Torch” was the subject of a lengthy federal ethics probe that ended his political career in 2002.

Robert Guy Torricelli (born August 27, 1951), nicknamed “the Torch,” is an American politician who served as the United States senator from New Jersey from 1997 to 2003 and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey’s 9th district from 1983 to 1997. From 1999 to 2000, he served as the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The Torch, as he’s known, was forced out nearly 13 years ago following a series of seamy revelations that he’d accepted lavish gifts from David Chang,a businessman North Korean ties which in turned prompted the Senate Ethics Committee to issue a formal letter of admonishment.

Many credit Torricelli’s swift fall from grace because he was so good at alienating fellow Democrats and was incapable of taking any blame for his misdeeds. Others say his lavish lifestyle ,expensive watches and suits rubbed too many people the wrong way .

PSE&G Urges Customers to Stay Alert while Driving Near Work Zones

Ridgewood NJ,  In recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) urges customers to stay alert when driving near work zones. When driving in and around work zones drivers must be attentive and alert to changes – changes that a distracted driver may not notice in time to prevent an accident.

“Every day we have hundreds of employees working in the street to keep the lights on and homes safe and warm,” said John Latka, senior vice president of electric and gas operations for PSE&G. “To ensure their safety and yours, please slow down and pay full attention when driving through work zones.”

PSE&G crews are continuously working on projects to improve electric reliability and ensure that we can continue to support a safe, clean and reliable gas system well into the future. To ensure traffic moves safely, PSE&G employees, local police, and licensed and approved contractors provide cones, flagmen and signage at work sites, as needed, to minimize interruptions.

National Work Zone Awareness Week is an annual spring campaign to encourage safe driving through work zones. Driver-related factors that affect work zone crashes include speeding, in-vehicle distractions and inattentive or aggressive driving. In 2014, the most recent year for which national data is available, distracted driving was a factor in 16 percent of fatal crashes in work zones, while speeding was a factor in 29 percent.
