Approximately 83,000 employees at an average salary of $50,000 equals ... let's see ... $4.15 billion. That's only for salaries. Add 10 percent for payroll taxes and another 3 percent for minimal pension costs and that equals an additional $540 million. Therefore, labor costs alone account for at least 14 percent of the total 2007-08 New Jersey budget. That doesn't even include health benefits. Now Gov. Jon S. Corzine has outlined his plan to raise revenue so the state can meet its obligations. He says the debt of the state of New Jersey is equal to $45,000 per household, and... Read more →

source http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com This 2007-08 hunting season is the best example I've ever seen as to why the trade was more than worth it. The reason: the bucks have only just begun to move 24-7 in search of does in estrus, and should continue to do so well into February. The switch was really turned on last weekend by the snow/sleet/freezing weather/ice. Not only were the bucks on the move, but does, feral hogs and all sorts of other wild critters. I even made a rare daytime sighting of a huge bobcat on the move. Though I'll not argue with wildlife... Read more →
