September 04, 2014 Washington, D.C.—CREW’s voters already named Wisconsin’s Scott Walker the Worst Governor in America last year, but the Badger State Republican still found a way to sink lower. As evidence piles up suggesting that the governor and his aides illegally coordinated with outside groups to beat a recall effort, Gov. Walker’s political operation once again finds itself in the crosshairs of a criminal investigation. For apparently failing to learn his lesson after the first time CREW called him out, Gov. Walker earned the title of August’s Scoundrel of the Month. Prosecutors in Wisconsin are investigating whether Gov. Walker and his staff illegally circumvented the state’s campaign contribution limits by coordinating campaign activity with outside groups during a 2012 recall election. Gov. Walker’s allies have repeatedly condemned the investigation as a partisan witch hunt by the state’s Democrats. Documents released last month, however, show Gov. Walker and his aides... Read more →

Paulsboro derailment prompts $150,000 grant Working with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Protection and a state climatologist, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office has secured grants totaling $150,000 for weather monitoring stations to track the direction of toxic gas releases from rail accidents like the vinyl chloride leak in a November 2012 derailment in Paulsboro NJ. Knowing which way the wind is blowing and at what speed can be critically important in the event a gas cloud forms over a populated area, GCPO critical infrastructure coordinator Bill Donovan said in a 9/17 presentation about the funding.

The group of law enforcement and private business officials was formed 11 years ago to improve response to natural disasters or... Read more →

(NewsUSA) - Some of the most serious injuries among older adults, age 65 and older, are caused by falling. More than 1.6 million older Americans end up in the emergency room or hospital because of a fall, according to the National Institutes of Health. Seniors who have broken a hip by falling can have trouble recovering and regaining mobility. The good news is many falls are preventable. One of the first things you can do if you take prescription medication is have your health care team review your medication. "Some prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs, or a combination of them, can make you dizzy or sleepy. Either can lead to a fall," said Jaza Marina, M.D., a geriatrician at Kaiser Permanente in Atlanta. "If you fall, be sure to let your doctor know, even if you aren't hurt. Sometimes falls are a sign of a new medical problem that needs... Read more →

By Tom Luicci ScarletKnights.com PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Sept. 18, 2014) – There’s nothing surprising about Navy leading the nation in rushing as the Midshipmen prepare to host Rutgers on Saturday. In 10 of the past 12 years, the school – driven by its triple option – has finished in the top four in the country in rushing. What is a bit unusual is the 403-yard average in the ground game Navy has during its 2-1 start. That’s almost 55 yards more per game than the school record for average rushing yards per game, set in 2007. It’s nearly 80 yards more per game than the Mids averaged a year ago, when they finished No. 2 nationally, and it’s a whopping 110 yards more on average than when they topped the national charts in 2008. The difference? Big plays in the run game, Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood said today. “You don’t... Read more →

FBI 100 Investigators going through the rubble following the bombing of the World Trade Center. 02/26/08 Part 2 of our history series commemorating the FBI’s 100th anniversary in 2008. Fifteen years ago this week, at about 17 minutes past noon, a thunderous explosion rocked lower Manhattan. The epicenter was the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center, where a massive eruption carved out a nearly 100-foot crater several stories deep and several more high. Six people were killed almost instantly. Smoke and flames began filling the wound and streaming upward into the building. Those who weren’t trapped were soon pouring out of the building—many panic-stricken and covered in soot. More than a thousand people were hurt in some way, some badly, with crushed limbs. It was Friday, February 26, 1993, and Middle Eastern terrorism had arrived on American soil—with a bang. As a small band of terrorists scurried away from... Read more →

U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, center, holds hands with Gov. Chris Christie. For the second time this year, Governor Christie went to Jersey City to promote programs that give drug addicts second chances. It’s an issue Christie has spoken about passionately – he made it mandatory for nonviolent offenders to be sentenced to treatment – and one his re-election campaign highlighted last year. Some hope he could take the issue to a national level if he runs for president in 2016, a point that was underscored during Monday’s ribbon cutting at Martin’s Place, a one-stop facility for drug treatment, transitional housing and employment assistance. There was no visible tension between Christie and Mayor Steven Fulop, who earlier this year said Christie’s office cancelled meetings with... Read more →

August 20, 2014 Washington, D.C. — Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan filed a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for failing to enforce campaign finance disclosure laws against two groups, the American Action Network (AAN) and Americans for Job Security (AJS).

An example of air rights: the newly constructed high-rise building at Third Avenue and 23rd Street extends over the four-story building at 318 Third Avenue at 24th Street. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Vertically inclined cities could make a lot of money allowing private developers to build high-rise apartments or business spaces above libraries, city halls and schools. BY SCOTT BEYER | SEPTEMBER 2014 Public works projects often come at heavy expense. Whether it’s building new schools, municipal halls or other facilities, such projects produce not only upfront costs, but depending on their magnitude, long-term debts. There is, however, a way to mitigate costs, or even make a project more profitable: Sell off the air rights. This is an idea that, while holding vast economic potential, is used sparingly in America. Nowadays whenever cities build a central library, to name one example, they usually construct a single-use facility that is only a... Read more →
