Trenton NJ as expected ,the price of gasoline is set to increase further in New Jersey. The state Treasury Department announced Thursday that starting Oct. 1 the New Jersey gas tax will increase by 4.3 cents per gallon. The department claims that lower fuel consumption levels over the past two years necessitated the price increase “in order to ensure compliance with the 2016 law that requires a steady stream of revenue to support the state’s Transportation Trust Fund program.” As more people flee the state , and gas prices raise it seems certain that consumption will further decrease .

Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Mayor Bruce Packer commented on Facebook on Glen Rock wanting to ban “noisy” early morning garbage pick up .
“After receiving a number of complaints in recent months, I have asked the council to consider an ordinance that would ban commercial trash pickup during overnight hours.
The ordinance passed its first reading at our last public meeting and will have its second reading and public hearing at our September 12th meeting which begins at 8pm. Feel free to join us if you would like to be heard on this issue. Note that an initial version of this ordinance had pickup beginning at 8am but we moved it to 6am to minimize potential traffic and parking issues.
I do thank the council for their consideration on this.”

Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog has received reports of CBD customers being denied access with their service dog several times in several different restaurants in the village.
Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
