NJ taxpayers Covering “Jersey Shore” $420,000 Tax Bill

New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority approved a $420,000 tax credit for the production costs of the first season of MTV’s reality show “Jersey Shore”. The governor, Chris Christie, isn’t a fan of the show and supposedly said there is nothing he can do about the EDA’s decision. The governor had supposedly closed this tax loophole already to cover a budget deficit. I have to agree with the Governor Christie on this one. The mayor in the town where the show was filmed  is all for the credit saying their presence is a boon to local business.

Faith Leaders Among Those Banned From 9/11 10 Year Anniversary Memorial Ceremony

When NYC Mayor Bloomberg throws a party the guest list is more exclusive than a White House affair apparently.

The real reason for this post has to do with...

9/11 First Responders Not Invited To 10 Year Memorial Either

The 10 year anniversary date of the September 11 tragedy is getting closer. The 10 year memorial event will be held in New York City at the new 9/11 Memorial. As with many Big Apple extravaganzas, the guest list is exclusive. Actual survivors of the devastation of what happened on 9/11 aren’t on the list and it also appears that the first responders aren’t either. Mayor Bloomberg is again citing the same excuse that there is not enough space to accommodate those that answered the call and put their lives at risk to help their fellow human beings. These are...
