| We may pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, but we still are burdened with an antiquated road system that causes traffic congestion, worsens air pollution and erodes productivity. The infamous Teaneck Bottleneck on Route 4, which narrows to two lanes from three, above, pleases preservationists, but delays tens of thousands of motorists every day. The Record's editors could care less. |

You can search The Record's lead story in vain today for any mention of -- or comment from -- Governor Christie on the pathetic recovery from Superstorm Sandy in October 2012.
I guess Staff Writer Kim Lueddeke and her assignment editor didn't bother trying to locate the GOP bully, who has turned his back on New Jersey as he seeks conservative support for a White House run (A-1).
But Washington Correspondent Herb Jackson knocks himself out trying to measure whether Bridgegate has made Christie less popular than the state's indicted senior senator, Bob Menendez, a Democrat (A-1).
They're both bums, and Jackson is just wasting our time. Look at the idiotic thumbnail photo that runs with his NJ/DC column -- it's almost as silly as Columnist Mike Kelly's shit-eating grin.
Surprise bills
In her Page 1 story today, Staff Writer Lindy Washburn fails to mention a simple solution to surprise medical bills from providers who don't accept your insurance:
Refuse to pay the bill or negotiate a much lower payment.
Is Christie out?
Check out Tom Moran, a member of The Star-Ledger Editorial Board, on why Christie may quit the presidential race.
Moran is a former Record reporter who is married to Mary Jo Layton, a senior writer at the Woodland Park daily.

If you don't want to have your house washed away, don't buy or build right on the ocean shoreline.
ReplyDeleteIt's their own fault.
A lot of the houses damaged by Sandy weren't on the seashore, but I agree those overlooking the beach don't realize how lucky they are to live there and should allow the building of dunes to protect them and others.
