No-Show Legislating Comes to NJ
Sep. 30 State Assembly, State Senate 2 comments
By Scott St. Clair | The Save Jersey Blog
Only in government and on union jobs does a no-show get paid. Now, the Assembly has codified the practice, allowing members to phone in their presence in order to obtain a quorum for the transaction of business.
Caught by The Star-Ledger with their absentee hands in the cookie jar as being “present” when they were nowhere near Trenton, the Assembly unanimously passed a measure to legitimize the shady practice of being recorded as attending a session you didn’t.
Irrespective of what’s on the agenda, voters elect representatives to be physically on the job when there is business to transact, not to not be on the job. If you can’t commit 100 percent, then find a new hobby.

Like the Ridgewood Council
Exactly #1.
Transformation of America Baby !
Nation of Laws — Bah!
Pretty soon we’ll be just like every other Banana Republic or Totalitarian Regime.
…coming along nicely.
Can I vote remotely from a vacation, too?
This is awful. Should not be allowed. The opportunities for trickery are too great.
All idiots anyway.
Ridgewood already does this
great idea we can do away with Village Hall
I heard the deputy mayor sends hundreds on nasty emails to this blog a day , seems he has no life . guess he can not bully this blog like he bullies everyone else
that’s a relief for the next time I go on a safari
Well he’s a hotel lawyer how busy could he be.
REV. ALBERT PUCCIARELL is a pillar of this community.
You must be one of the dissatisfied status quo winners #8, always complaining that anyone would dare question the shenanigans that went on in Ridgewood until people started questioning you? Finally taxpayers started to questioning public safety wage growth more than double inflation, millions and millions promised away in risk-free lifetime pensions, and virtually free health care compared to the rest of us, and all you can do is try to discredit them? You probably want conflicts of interest, quarters theft, wages double inflation and even more tax payer giveaways. Give it up, your views have been discredited.
What a Narcisses. I guess there are no SHENANIGANS going on now that you are there.
