Hi Ed, I’m so happy to read that our state government has finally passed a law that makes sense — convicted politicians are going to be stripped of their pensions. That’s the best thing they’ve ever done and it’s about time.

Law and disorder

You failed civics class, huh? Unless the Goobernor signs the bill into law, it is just a piece of paper with a good idea on it. And we’re talking about the New Jersey State Legislature here. The first question needs to be about just how much bite does this law have on its intended victims? Or does it have its teeth ripped out?
