That includes the two state beaches — Cheesequake and Island Beach — and Liberty State Park in Jersey City. Here is a full list of which parks are shuttered. The closings come just in time for the July 4 holiday weekend. And if the shutdown lasts through Tuesday, it will include Independence Day itself. Christie's office said all events within the parks and sites will be canceled. But Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said a major July 4 celebration scheduled for Liberty State Park featuring a concert by Kool & The Gang would be held at another location if the shutdown stretches on. People who were camping overnight will be asked to leave Saturday morning by park police. Municipal parks and beaches will remain open. And the shutdown would also not affect most local July 4 fireworks displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealCAJ Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/01/christie-new-jersey-government-shutdown-240162 “It’s all going to come down to when folks get up tomorrow for the July 4thweekend and drive down to Island Beach State Park to spend the day and a sign says it’s closed,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. “They’re going to blame Gov. Christie and nobody else.” After two terms that saw his rise to GOP superstardom derailed by Bridgegate and then a fallout with the Trump team, Christie — the least popular governor in New Jersey recorded history, with an approval rating at 15 percent — is already so politically toxic that his own lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, is running away from him while campaigning to succeed him. 15% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man....in the interest of brevity and not having the desire to argue politics let me say this; they will be my last remarks on the subject: - Most NYs on the left think Cuomo is an opportunist. They would be correct. He will flip flop on any topic if it will get him more votes or more $$. To be fair, this is not unique to him and applies to most, if not all politicians. However, let's calm down on the hyperbole. Most only support him due to lack of Dem opposition. This is caused by his huge war chest + his legacy name. He is your standard snake politician. DeBlasio was involved in a highly publicized corruption scandal and you went out of your way to say otherwise. That's weird on your part. He narrowly avoided Federal Prosecution on a few technicalities and was admonished by the Court for his actions. Please don't be disingenuous. Most importantly, most Dems and Reps despise the guy in NYC. He is a joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with Dems - have voted Dem in the past, would again in a heartbeat depending on the candidate. I don't vote along any party lines and I live in NY, etc. if I had a strong feeling one way or the other I am in the wrong place my friend. I work in Hells Kitchen so I am in Manhattan every day. Pretty much nobody is happy with the Mayor, left or right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDrop Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Illinois is trying to raise the state income tax rate from 3 3/4% to the high 4's. I believe one of their legislative houses just approved this. For many reading this that may sound very low (NY and CA are in the 9's, I believe) but Illinois state real estate tax is the second highest in America along with the state sales tax which is 6.25%. Real estate tax is approximately 2.28% of a home's value (NJ is the highest) http://www.chicagomag.com/real-estate/January-2014/Illinois-Now-Has-the-Second-Highest-Property-Taxes-in-the-Nation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause you can't get a raise working in the mail room don't mean he is a bad business man. You actually have to have a brain and work to get a raise.
