By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Have you heard about this, Save Jerseyans? A man from Michigan actually burned a New Jersey state flag to protest Governor Christie’s controversial decision to honor Newark native Whitney Houston by ordering the lowering of flags across the Garden State. You can watch portions of the interview here. An important fact to help understand the Michigan development of | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com My mild mannered friend Brian McGovern got many readers a little heated yesterday, Save Jerseyans, when he advised you to “get over” the Christie/Houston flag lowering controversy. In his defense, Brian didn’t really take the Governor’s side per se; he simply sees it as a non-issue at a time when there’s plenty else to worry about. And I | Read More »
By Matt DeLuca | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com One of the things that really irks me about the union election process(other than the fact we have union elections at all) is the “Excelsior list” which allows unions to obtain employee’s personal info including their names and addresses. This info allows labor unions to intimidate their employees into joining out of fear that they will experience retaliatory ‘courtesy | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com UPDATE, 12:59 PM: Things just got more interesting for Vincent Giordano, Save Jerseyans. StateHouseSteps is reporting that Governor Christie called for his resignation/dismissal this morning at a Westfield town hall meeting… Developing… 10:43 AM: Save Jersey was the first to call out NJEA Executive Director Vincent Giordano for his remarkably elitist remarks on Saturday’s “New Jersey Capitol Report” | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I know we’re focused on “higher” education today at the blog, Save Jerseyans, but New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) Executive Director Vincent Giordano really stepped in it this weekend. Big time. He appeared on Saturday’s NJTV “New Jersey Capitol Report” to discuss recent developments in the state’s never-ending education debate. When questioned about the fairness of New Jersey’s low income families | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com You may still think Mitt Romney is a “RINO” establishment villain, Save Jerseyans. It’s your right to be wrong. I’ll fight to defend it! But as of right now, he’s undeniably the most honest Republican with a national platform. He said something this week worthy of that lofty distinction; something we’ve all been thinking for a long, long | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Here’s your daily dose of political levity, Save Jerseyans. President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator and the former New Jersey Deptartment of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner under Jon Corzine (quite a resume, huh?), Lisa Jackson, is returning to New Jersey later this month. She has openly accused Congressional Republicans of endangering millions of lives for opposing her draconian measures. For what, | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com It’d be a comical habit if it wasn’t also extremely counterproductive. All contemporary Republican presidential hopefuls campaign with the words “Ronald” and “Reagan” ever-present on their lips. Every conservative commentator passionately debates who is the most “reaganesque” member of the field. A strong plurality of primary voters continually bemoan the absence of a “Reagan-like” GOP figure in the race. | Read More »
By: Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I’m always amused by the anti-Romney folks out there, Save Jerseyans, who reflexively accuse Mitt of a being a “flip flopper” when they themselves can’t settle on a candidate for more than five minutes! My criticism isn’t directed towards those of you who have loyally stood by Santorum, Newt, or whoever for months. I’m talking about folks who HATE Mitt | Read More »
By: Brian McGovern | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The Republican Primary battle has been heating up in the first in the south state of South Carolina over the last week with multiple debates and nasty ads flying back and forth between the candidates. My notable observation has been the odd absence of one of Mitt Romney’s most famous supporters, Governor Chris Christie. In the last two | Read More »
