- Murphy hits pause on reopening as rate of transmission goes up: Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday he’s pumping the brakes on New Jersey’s gradual reopening after the state’s rate of transmission rose above the key mark 1 for the first time in 10 weeks. “we’re not gonna be jumping the gun on a whole lot more opening-up steps right now.” “My guess is we’re gonna be here a bit.” That means businesses and services that have not yet reopened — including gyms, indoor dining sections of bars and restaurants will likely have to keep waiting.

-Aguda statement after judge rules against opening camps:
"We are devastated at the news of the ruling that just came from Chief U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby to keep New York State overnight camps closed this summer. Needless to say, we are deeply disappointed with this ruling. According to Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, Agudah's New York Government Relations Director, “The impact on children is devastating. Instead of looking forward to a summer of growth, filled with learning experiences and preparation for an upcoming school year, many children of our community will now be forced to endure a continuation of the long-lasting lockdowns imposed by the State Government."
If the aguda had fought for schools maybe.. just for camps that's a no go.
ReplyDeleteOpen the water fountains in the schools it is so hot outside there is a bigger risk for heat stroke then covid
ReplyDeleteSend a water bottle.
Deletewater coolers (with a cup) is another non-expensive option.
DeleteI send water bottle the boys lose them. The school claims to give out water bottles, but the lady in the office hates that the boys bother her all day. The school runs out of bottles very quickly Just open the water fountains, make everyone life more nice and the school will save money by not having to pay for water bottles. There is no good reason why the water fountains are closed.
DeleteDoes anyone know what the construction project on Prospect Street is? How long will it last? What are they doing?
ReplyDeleteThe whole prospect street is slated for development. Most, high density residential, some of it commercial shopping centers. The 2 self storage facilities were already sold.
ReplyDeleteSo far its 39,000 for Trump to 29,000 Biden
ReplyDeleteNice!
Huh?
DeleteYou do realize it's a primary, not a general election, right? Also it's in ocean county which is Republican. Far from a sign of anything.
DeleteAnd these are the people voting for Trump. People who don't understand the difference between a primary and a general election. And then you wonder why they are termed deplorables.
DeleteExcuse me. I'm the 6:17pm poster and I very well understand the difference between primary and general election. I was just making a point, that at least in Ocean County there is significantly greater support for trump than biden
Delete@haroldhershkowitz better luck next time. Maybe go out and campaign and give us all some real answers not just sayings.
ReplyDeleteDid D'Elia and Fuentes do or say anything that earned them your vote?
DeleteNo and i may be wrong but it didn’t look like HH was doing much for our vote either. No mailings, robocalls, signs etc. I know it’s Lakewood and it’s tough when you don’t have the right backing but there has to be a better way to get your name out
DeleteWhy "@haroldhershkowitz"?? how about "@entireLakewood better luck next time" do you realize he's running for the better of Lakewood - you included! How about campaigning for him? didn't think of that??
DeleteSorry, but if HH didnt bother campaigning for himself, it was a lost cause from day 1. Learn a lesson from trump. He's not sitting on his rear all day dreaming he'll win. He's out there on the front lines fighting like a warrior
Deletewould not have made a difference, people vote straight down the party line and that is how the establishment gets it in their favor they make sure to line the ballot up with their picks and candidates in one column so people vote straight down.
DeleteMaybe but you’ll never know
