#2 It also doesn't help that the taxes are outrageous, the civil service is corrupt, and the politicians are owned by the mob. I think just about the only way to clean the state out is to line up the bureaucrats and politicians and kill every tenth one. Or maybe every fifth one.

#3 politicians are ~~owned by the mob~~ Democrats

Or is that just two ways of saying the same thing?

#4 Heh. Yes, in NJ the terms are interchangeable, RC.

#5 California isn't all that far back, as far as I'm concerned. If it wasn't for the exceptional weather (its only redeeming quality, IMO), this place would be just as bad.

#6 Just New Jersey?

I mean, when you think about "mob influenced", don't unions pop into your head? And which is the "party of the unions" -- significantly without actually being a party at all concerned about the working man's opinions?

And, I'm not gonna say that a conservative can't be corrupt -- good God, no -- but has anyone noticed that when a Republican gets caught in corruption, it's more likely to be a RINO? The sole Republican arrested in Tennessee last week is widely described as a RINO; and it's significant, I think, that McCain was the only Republican in the Keating 5.

Maybe it's recall bias on my part. I wouldn't be surprised if it were.

#7 On the land near Interchange 1 of the New Jersey Turnpike, Juliano has built a Hampton Inn and a Cracker Barrel restaurant. He also planned to build a truck stop on the land.

That hardly seems a great loss in my book. Yawn. Rather have the wet lands. NJ has far more problems than the inability to build a strip mall wherever one desires.

#8 Rather have the wet lands.

Well go buy yourself some wetlands then. Then you could do what ever you want with this parcel of soggy land.

Oops! No you can't, 'cause a New Jersey Democrat/DEP official says you can't do ANYTHING with this land you now own. Land you own.

GRRRRRrrr. I hate this state.

#9 are you saying you want another strip mall?

Yes..what this town needs to make it nice is another strip mall! It's just soo beautiful.

#10 I think the complaint is that if you buy a property that is zoned for business development and are then blocked then you have been mislead and are out a substantial amount of cash. States have a right to chase off entrepreneurs. States that make those type of decisions should enjoy their wetlands in peace and not shake down the rest of the states for donations when their schools don't have broadband.

Or when they don't have funds for medicare etc.

#12 I believe there are also federal limitations on the development of wetlands.

And if the law were enforced to the letter, I doubt there would be any cities in Louisiana south of, say, Alexandria.

#13 I forgo the lawn sprinkler just to keep the Sierra Club off my back.
