The lead story on campaign donations to Republicans in the Garden State begs the question of how many millions lobbyists for health insurance and medical device companies are spending to get the GOP to shut down the government (A-1 and L-7).
New Jersey lags
New Jersey lags
The Page 1 story on a Chinese company bringing 500 to 600 jobs to Wayne notes that "while the state of New York has regained all the jobs lost during the recession, New Jersey has regained only around 60 percent."
But it doesn't link that to Governor Christie's failed policies of giving businesses hundreds of millions in tax breaks, but denying low-wage workers a hike in the minimum wage.
Further evidence that The Record's editors and the greedy Borg family are in bed with the GOP bully is burying the story on the second debate between Christie and Democratic challenger Barbara Buono (A-6).
Buono made another good showing, but the editors hope to obscure how Christie's favors millionaires and corporations over the middle class and small businesses.

The front-page story on the delayed Route 3 project appears aimed at the out-of-towners who will be attending the Super Bowl next winter, and to hell with North Jersey commuters who -- thanks to Christie -- face the triple hells of worsening traffic jams, rising tolls and an overburdened mass-transit system.
In Local today, a photo over line says a granite sculpture is the "New Focal Point in Town," but the caption doesn't provide an address for the Leonia sculpture garden (L-6).
An A-3 story makes readers wonder what Christie is hiding about his health as he campaigns for a second term, and why The Record hasn't obtained his records in the more than two years since his June 2011 asthma attack.
Second look
The Borgs are so desperate for advertising revenue they got Deputy Assignment Flunky Dan Sforza to run a story on Monday's Local front, purporting that Bergen County residents are driving up to Nanuet, N.Y., to shop at a new mall.
I wonder if Sforza -- in the interests of synergy -- will be asked to get off his ass, drive across the border and solicit advertisements from mall tenants.
