New Jersey residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of a constitutional amendment to legalize the personal use of cannabis by adults. While the legislation to establish a legal market and regulatory scheme for marijuana was expected to be a slam dunk after the ballot measure was approved by a 2-to-1 margin, disagreements over a slew of concerns have caused the process to stall.

Trenton NJ, Leading Democrat’s are staking their claims in an effort to direct “All Revenues” from legal marijuana back to their own districts. State Senator Mike Doherty (R-23) warned that infighting among Democrats about the taxation of marijuana and how to spend any resulting revenues makes it clear that most New Jerseyans will not see any of the fiscal benefits that were promised as a result of legalization:
Ridgewood NJ, Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger (R-Monmouth) is calling on Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Legislature to put a hold on minimum wage increases scheduled to take place in the coming months as small businesses teeter on the brink of financial ruin due to COVID-19 and subsequent, continual restrictions:

Mahwah NJ, On Monday a hearing will be taking place in Trenton to consider another tax, the Financial Transaction Tax which would impose a financial transaction tax on any persons or entities that process 10,000 or more financial transactions through electronic infrastructure located in New Jersey during the year.
Trenton NJ, Senator Kristin M. Corrado and Senator Steven Oroho blasted the Murphy Administration for deliberately and deceitfully turning the School Development Authority (SDA) into an unabashed patronage pit.
A report published by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation confirmed that top officials in Gov. Murphy’s inner circle were well aware of the patronage hiring spree by disgraced former SDA chief Lizette Delgado-Polanco.
Trenton NJ, The state budget approved by the legislature today includes borrowing $4.5 billion and increased taxes on corporations, millionaires, and Health Maintenance Organizations. What’s not in the limelight today is the expected increase in unemployment taxes that will fall on every business next year to pay for the massive number of New Jersians who have filed for unemployment benefits.
Upper Saddle River NJ, Assemblywomen Holly Schepisi on the New Jersey’s paper bag ban , ” Yesterday New Jersey voted to ban PAPER BAGS. No one, including the sponsor of the bill, could explain why we are the ONLY State in the nation to ban recyclable paper bags other than “we are the most environmentally progressive State.” If that statement was true and if we truly wanted to stop environmental harm in this State why have the legislators and the Governor refused to move forward any legislation that would stop the massive overdevelopment taking place in each of our communities?”
“This so-called legislation is just vote winning puffery: any person wishing to work in the US still has to comply with Federal immigration laws.
Thus it is a federal offense to employ someone who lacks the proper immigration status, just as it is an offense to gain employment for an illegal alien. Ignorance of the law is no defense.
Besides being unlawful and unpatriotic, the Democrat’s are using illegals as cannon fodder to gain votes, and don’t care a jot about the fate of any illegals who work, or employers who employ them.
In any case, how on earth can anyone this bull was aimed at, legal or illegal, gain employment if the businesses are being strangled by Murphy et al?”

“As much as I detest these nihilists, Marxists, agitators (call them anything but protesters) I don’t think billing organizers for police overtime is a viable solution. I also don’t want these people destroying parks. The solution is what’s called the broken window strategy. Get to the rally early and start making arrests for any real offense, however petty. This prevents any real unrest. This is the strategy that helped turn NYC around in the 1990s. It’s common sense and it works and Ridgewood should use it. And everyone should take note of the similarities between Ridgewood and Kenosha. Both in Democrat run states, both about 50 miles from a very large city and very similar demographics.”
Ramsey NJ, Republican Candidate for Congress, Frank Pallotta (CD-05) asked Democrat Members of Congress Josh Gottheimer (CD-05), Mikie Sherrill (CD-11), and Bill Pascrell (CD-09) to renounce calls by the Leftist group Action Together NJ to remove police protection from schools in New Jersey.
Ok riddle me this….
. Democrats are up in arms because “Trump is suppressing votes by handicapping the US Mail system”
.
SO…..
Why aren’t Democrats going all out to insist on In Person Voting and to ban Vote By Mail so they can bypass Trump’s “evil Postal plans” and ensure that there is no voter suppression?
