Happy New Year! Turnpike, Parkway tolls going up in January

Next year is shaping up to be an expensive one for Garden State drivers as the New Jersey Turnpike Authority officially joins a list of potential toll and fare hikes that will take effect in 2025. It was never a matter of "if" tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway would go up but rather "how much" as the authority has adopted an index approach to budgeting toll increases by a minimum of 3% each year. The process eliminates the need for public hearings. Tolls will increase on Jan. 1 by 16 cents on the NJ Turnpike and 8 cents at Parkway barrier plazas, and 3 cents on Parkway entrance and exit ramps. The revenue, according to the authority, will be used to fund its $2.7 billion budget. In the agenda for Tuesday's meeting, the authority said that toll revenue was down in 2024 for the ten...

By Christian Wade | The Center Square contributor Jul 23, 2024 Menendez Facebook page (The Center Square) — Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez will resign next month after being found guilty in a federal bribery and corruption trial, according to multiple published reports. Menendez will step down effective Aug. 20 after telling staff and sending a resignation letter to senate leaders and Gov.

His pending resignation will cap a dramatic downfall for one of New Jersey's most powerful Democratic politicians, who has served in the Senate since 2006.

Rowan and NJCU Play Double-Header Saturday

NEWARK, NJ – A furious ninth-inning rally by #19 Rowan fell short as the Profs were defeated by Rutgers-Newark, 8-7, in an NJAC game. The Profs (22-11; 8-8). Will close out the regular season on Saturday hosting a crucial doubleheader vs. NJCU. After Rutgers-Newark (18-18-; 3-13) built up an 8-3 lead in the seventh inning, the Profs fought back with four runs in the ninth but it wasn’t enough. A pair of two-run doubles by Pat Defeciani and Dylan Maria got the Profs within one, but Vince Taylor pitched the final three innings and kept Rowan from tying the game. The teams were scoreless through the first four innings, with starters Matt Choi and Rutgers-Newark’s Matthew King keeping both squads off the board. But the Profs ended that streak in the top of the fifth as Mannino led off with a double and advanced to third on a fielder’s choice... Read more →

More Charges Filed Against Senator Menendez and His Wife

Federal authorities unveiled a third superseding indictment targeting Sen. Bob Menendez that adds obstruction of justice and conspiracy to commit the same to the growing list of criminal charges the embattled Democrat faces. In the Tuesday indictment, prosecutors from the Southern District of New York allege the senator and Nadine Menendez, his wife, sought to conceal their alleged bribery scheme by returning some bribe proceeds, characterizing the payments as loans, and causing their attorneys to lie to authorities. The new counts, which name only the couple, charge Sen. Menendez wrote a $23,569 check to his wife so she could return alleged bribe proceeds to Wael Hana, one of three North Jersey businessmen initially indicted alongside the senator. Hand-filled memos on the checks characterized them as loan repayments to Hana, who is alleged to have paid down a mortgage on a property owned by Nadine Menendez that was facing foreclosure. The...

VAPE PRODUCTS ARE HARMING OUR ENVIRONMENT

(NAPSI)—In each step of their lifecycle, vape products can harm our environment with three forms of toxic pollution: plastic waste, hazardous waste, and electronic waste (e-waste). Step 1: Production From the very beginning of production, vapes are devastating for the environment. Sourcing raw materials for these products is highly resource intensive, requiring not just plastics, but heavy metals, lithium-ion for batteries, and nicotine from tobacco plants. Mining lithium for vape batteries is a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, requires the use of chemicals and immense amounts of water, and leaves toxic waste in its wake. Plus, the nicotine used in these products comes from tobacco plants, a destructive crop that causes mass deforestation, soil contamination, and water depletion. Step 2: A Polluting Sales Model The majority of vapes are designed for single or short-term use. This sales model ensures that consumers constantly need to purchase new products or... Read more →

Compared to the entire history of the sport, the ATP ranking is a relatively new creation. They started with the creation of the ATP in 1972. This organization was established in order to improve the conditions in which professional tennis players competed. Punters can begin betting on every single game of the football season from the 1xBet online bookmaker, where great tennis matches can be found as well. Consequences of a boycott In 1973, 81 professional tennis players decided to boycott the Wimbledon tournament of that year. One of the main reasons for this decision was that, according to players of that era, there were no objective criteria to select who played those tournaments.... Read more →


NRA-ILA ALERT: New Jersey's Bruen-Buster Bill Is Back For Full Assembly Vote

On Monday, November 21, the full Assembly is expected to vote on A.4769. This legislation started out as a “copy-cat” strategy, mimicking what New York did to lash out at the Supreme Court post-Bruen. The bill arbitrarily and drastically expands the number of places labeled as “sensitive places” where concealed carry is prohibited. Over the last month, the bill has been assigned to multiple committees and amended several times to clean up drafting errors, among other things. Incredibly, this bill is so deeply flawed that all of this time and effort has been spent in vain. Anti-gun Majority Democrats simply deny that the United States Supreme Court affirmed the right to carry. The court spoke resolutely and was unambiguous. Your immediate assistance is needed to help block A.4769 which is unconstitutional and will: Drastically increase the cost of obtaining permits and credentials. Expand the already-rigorous New Jersey training requirements. Use... Read more →

What to Know Before Investing in Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that has special technology that makes it almost impossible to counterfeit. Many types are based on blockchain technology, and a network of computers enforces it. It is attractive to many because no central authority issues it. There are a few things you should know before deciding whether or not it is for you. Ensure You Have Enough Funds Set Aside While cryptocurrency can be an attractive investment, it can also be volatile, so you will want to make sure you are not putting all your money into this investment. Consider limiting the amount you put into crypto and make sure you have an emergency fund set aside so you aren’t tying up all your money by investing it. You may consider ways of reducing your monthly expenses before investing as well. This can free up more funds to put in your investments. One... Read more →


THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY:

What is Happening with Disney?

Dorothy Philbin | CNBNews Contributor Is there ever a story behind the story when it comes to Disney it all started in 1967. The story also includes other major theme parks in the Orlando, FL area. In 1967 when Disney was buying thousands of acres of land in the Orlando area they made an "agreement" with the state of Florida that they could manage themselves. "Manage" included zoning, planning, utilities, as well as governing themselves. If Disney wanted to build a nuclear power plant in the middle of the Magic Kingdom, they could do it and no one could do anything about it. Again, this is not based on any law; it is based on an agreement. As time went on, the other theme parks got the same agreement. Moving ahead to this week. The state of Florida passed a law to protect children in preschool to grade 3. The... Read more →

T.A. DeFeo / The Center Square contributor Nov 19, 2021 (The Center Square) – Gov. Phil Murphy has signed an executive order to establish a new interim greenhouse gas reduction target for the state, but some associations are questioning the cost to New Jerseyans.

NJ News Commons: MURPHY SAYS NURSING HOMES SHOULD PAY PRICE FOR COVID

MURPHY: NURSING HOMES SHOULD PAY PRICE FOR COVID On CBS, Gov. Phil Murphy spoke about concerns over his administration's work to slow or stop the spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes. Some blame sits with the facilities who failed to follow the health department's "explicit, black-and-white" instructions, Murphy said.

Still, some facilities "did not take our advice," Murphy said, and "they deserve to pay a price for that."
