March 7, 2017. A better community through civic engagement. Request an ELEC Investigation. Police Report Links Belleville Councilman to USB Flash Drive Scandal. August 26, 2015. BELLEVILLE, NJ — Belleville residents have been so shell-shocked by destructive and costly politics recently, it seems almost nothing comes as a surprise to them anymore. After the results of last year’s mortifying financial audit of the Belleville Board of Education. Despite being only three months into this project and my first...

NJ Fiscal Folly: Confirmation And A Warning

http://njfiscalfolly.blogspot.com/2006/05/confirmation-and-warning.html

Wednesday, May 03, 2006. Confirmation And A Warning. In a prior post. Below, I noted that Gov Corzine's budget to add 50,000 children to the NJ FamilyCare program seriously underestimated the costs. The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) now agrees with me. The OLS analysis of the proposed budget for the Department of Health and Senior Services includes a section on the proposed NJ FamilyCare expansion ( see pages 44-45. But here's the kicker (quoting the OLS):. As I said previously, Corzine's idea may...

NJ Fiscal Folly: Democrats Piss On Taxpayers

http://njfiscalfolly.blogspot.com/2006/07/democrats-piss-on-taxpayers.html

Saturday, July 08, 2006. Democrats Piss On Taxpayers. It wasn't enough to raise taxes yet again. It wasn't enough to refuse essential reforms in state spending. Now the Democrats have decided to add $270 million in additional pork. To Corzine's already bloated budget. It only took two days to confirm my prediction that commingled tax revenues from the sales tax increase will be diverted from property tax relief to other programs. The final figure was $250 million.

Wednesday, July 05, 2006. Has anybody else noticed that every time Corzine shows up to address the legislature he brings along an imperial bodyguard of state troopers? What's that all about, and why do the legislators let him get away with it? NJ Links (State Govt). Citizen's Guide To Obtaining. Council On Local Mandates. Governor Corzine Home Page.

NJ Fiscal Folly: Another Year Of "Tax And Spend"

http://njfiscalfolly.blogspot.com/2006/07/another-year-of-tax-and-spend.html

Thursday, July 06, 2006. Another Year Of "Tax And Spend". Gov Corzine and the Assembly Democrats have apparently reached a budget deal. Here's all you need to know. Once again, the Democrats increase NJ taxes. The sales tax will go from 6% to 7%. One of the highest tax states in the country will become even more onerous. Once again, the Democrats fleece NJ taxpayers. During that time I have seen the state institute an income tax, raise the sales tax, and then raise the income tax multiple times. The ...

http://njfiscalfolly.blogspot.com/2006/06/nj-government-employee-data.html

Tuesday, June 20, 2006. NJ Government Employee Data. I've just discovered two excellent sources of information on NJ government employees. The first source is the NJ State Government Workforce Profile. Which is updated annually. This report includes extensive data on headcounts, salaries, educational levels, job categories, union representation, etc. I'm still working my way through the 2006 report. Which is 70 pages long. The second source is the NJ Department of Labor wage survey. NJ Links (State Govt).

Weinberg pulls transparency bills. Jane Primerano and Miriam Ascarelli. June 23, 2015. Bad news for open government. Noting there were not enough votes to get the two bills that would update the state’s sunshine laws out of committee, State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) took both bills off the state Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee agenda today. The upshot is that the OPRA and OPMA bills are off the table for this year.
