Washington DC, President Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 means the statute could be used for the first time in the 21st century.

The U.S. federal law allows the president to deploy military troops within the nation to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion, among other threats. It allows the president to federalize the National Guard and use U.S. armed forces to combat insurrections against states and the federal government.

Washington DC, The United States Park Police (USPP) is committed to the peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. However, this past weekend’s demonstrations at Lafayette Park and across the National Mall included activities that were not part of a peaceful protest, which resulted in injuries to USPP officers in the line of duty, the destruction of public property and the defacing of memorials and monuments. During four days of demonstrations, 51 members of the USPP were injured; of those, 11 were transported to the hospital and released and three were admitted.

Trenton NJ, Senator Steven Oroho, Senator Declan O’Scanlon, and Senator Kristin Corrado said a superficial report commissioned by Governor Phil Murphy does not absolve his administration for its clear failures that led to the massive loss of life in New Jersey’s long-term care facilities due to COVID-19.

“The Murphy Administration paid a consulting firm $500,000 to rush a report that attempts to shift blame for thousands of nursing home deaths to anyone but the governor,” said Oroho (R-24). “What taxpayers received back is a glossy report that repackages the State’s data in colorful graphs and charts. The report glosses over the fact that the administration forced our LTC facilities to admit COVID-19 patients, which led to thousands of deaths. With that glaring deficiency, the entire report is suspect.”

Time for Fiscal Discipline Instead of Massive Borrowing Schemes to Fix Budget

the staff of the Ridgewod blog

TRENTON NJ, The Assembly Budget Committee passed a bill Monday that would allow at least $14 billion in borrowing to replace revenue lost during the economic shutdown in response to Covid-19.

Republicans on the committee asked that taxpayers get a chance to weigh in, if there was a back-up plan when borrowing for revenue is struck down as unconstitutional, and if the administration would consider an alternative plan that provides much needed revenue while cutting taxes for the middle class.

Local Builder Promotes Development in the Village of Ridgewoood

by Local Builder

Ridgewood NJ, We have high density housing because of the author and commenters on this blog. People who know nothing about real estate law and development have dictated the conversation, and even more sadly have run the boards in Ridgewood. There are people who lead, and there are people who obstruct and impede progress. We have had the latter in leadership in Ridgewood until very recently.

The best example is High Mountain golf course in Franklin Lakes. Nobody wanted this to be developed. But it was worth far more as a development then a golf course (reality). Thanks to excellent leadership on the part of the mayor, Frank Bivona, and Kevin Boswell the town engineer; rather than stick their head in the sand and pretend that they could fight this, they negotiated the best possible deal they could with the developer while they still had leverage.  Nobody is happy about it, but at least we do not have 600 units on that
property.

Golf is sometimes viewed as a less challenging sport that isn’t on par with other sports in terms of physical demand and complexity. But the truth is, golf is a pretty hard game to master with a learning curve that can be unforgiving to the inexperienced. Beginners are often overwhelmed by the number of techniques and exercises they should learn about, in addition to finding the proper equipment for their skill level and golfing style. But just like with any sport, practice makes perfect.
