The last (I assume final) heatwave story I did involved both a coconut Ice standup close and a (one take!) turnaround jumper in #HamiltonPark that was all net. Props to all who are on the heat beat this week. NJ Spotlight News NJ PBS njspotlightnews.org/video/its-hot-…

whoa. whoa, Assemblyman. Much as I may sometimes wanna ship a boatload or two of former New Yorkers back across the river, don't be hating on @jerseycity for being the place thousands of y'all are relocating to. You seem like a nice enough guy, let's keep it that way.

I like the idea of a grounds crew competition. Maybe as part of an All Star Game Weekend event, like celebrity softball. Fastest to cover the field in rain delay. Fastest to uncover. Infield manicure. Outfield grass design. Mound repair. Let's go @mlb, get on this New York Mets Pittsburgh Pirates

Assembly session takeaways. The clerk is having a lot of fun. Assemblyman Bergen loves getting under Speaker Craig J. Coughlin's skin, and if you listen hard, you can get some good tidbits on the hot mics. Also, it's Assemblywoman peentor MAH reen and Senator rue EEZ. C'mon, Democrats at least.

What state has a budget process we should emulate? And where is the public more actively engaged in the process than NJ? “The system is broken” is like that scratched LP that’s stuck in a groove. These budgeteers are actually slapping each other five for a job well done right now

For as many people who visit this site, the state should find a way to make this officials LSP memorial look like they care about it. It’s not too dramatic to say its current condition is an insult. Governor Phil Murphy youtube.com/watch?v=Ydw7tH…

I never realized Kabir Moss was only 37. That means he was basically a child when we met, but so kind and smart and helpful I used to think he'll never last in the game. Yet here we were again, chopping it up during the Ras J. Baraka campaign. Same sweet guy. Too good for us. #RIP.

Here's how the state is helping you with those outrageous utility bill increases you did nothing new to incur. Suspending shutoffs for non-payment from July thru September. $30 bill "deferments" for July/August electricity, which you must pay starting in September. Um, thanks?
