Mohr, sitting in the wheelhouse of the Lady Brittany at Barney's Dock on Saturday, pondered the possibilities.

I know I've seen this before, but for those of you who haven't (and who I thought would appreciate it), enjoy! Some of it brings back great memories for those of us who used to live in the great State of New Jersey.
If you've ever lived in Jersey...you'll appreciate this!!!

New Jersey’s Timid Legislature
Published: May 3, 2008
Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey has thrown in the towel in his four-month effort to persuade the State Legislature to reduce his state’s colossal debt by sharply raising turnpike and parkway tolls. The Legislature, which does not share his sense of urgency, gave him no choice.

My personal note: We already have a small wind farm onland, near Atlantic City. I am so thrilled about the possibility of this wind farm, with the new Air Quality regulations coming out. As a nation, we need me alternative, environmentally friendly power sources.

By BEN LEACH Staff Writer, 609-272-7261
Published: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
From the Press of Atlantic City: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/186/story/179074.html
Wawa, McDonald's and other food and restaurant chains will not sell food products containing certain varieties of tomatoes until an outbreak of salmonella affecting the country is contained.
The food chains are taking precautions after the FDA issued a warning Saturday advising people to avoid eating certain types of tomatoes unless they come from states or other parts of the world not associated with the outbreak.
Raw red Roma, raw plum and raw red round tomatoes were implicated in the outbreak, which has affected 145 people in the United States and resulted in 23 hospitalizations since mid-April, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.

Government wants saltwater anglers to register, pay fee
By RICHARD DEGENER Staff Writer, 609-463-6711
Published: Thursday, June 12, 2008
From the Press of Atlantic City: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/186/story/180852.html
Saltwater anglers would need to register with the federal government to go fishing next year, and starting in 2011 pay an annual fee between $15 and $25.
The goal of the proposal is to assemble a better database of recreational fishermen so they can be interviewed more thoroughly on what they catch. This information would be used to better manage fisheries.
