Trenton NJ,  Assembly Republicans are walking to their talk of cutting the corporate business tax to make the state more business friendly. Assemblymen Christopher DePhillips and John DiMaio are introducing a bill (A3754) with Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso that would gradually cut the rate to a flat 2.5 percent.

“The reason we need a tax incentive program to attract businesses is because taxes are too high,” said DePhillips (R-Bergen). “The simple answer is to lower the rate to a point that makes New Jersey more attractive financially than other states.”

Ridgewood NJ, It turns out much to our disappointment   that vodka isn’t an effective substitute for hand sanitizer, which is apparently a thing that some people have been asking vodka makers. If all you have is vodka, just wash your hands normally and enjoy a nice drink.

Village Manager poo poos the installation of poopie bag dispensers in Village parks

Vicious_dog_theridgewoodblog

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Watch and listen to Ridgewood Village Manager Heather Mailander’s publicly televised, 4 1/2 minute diatribe concerning the proposed purchase and installation of dog waste (poopie) bag dispensers in selected Village parks. Clearly this Village employee (yes an employee; not an elected official) does not like dogs and made every attempt to poo-poo the implementation of a simple program that many nearby municipalities have fully embraced. Thankfully, the Village Council did not heed her advice and will continue their discussion of poopie bag dispenser installations at a later date.
