  3. Didn't Bill O'Reilly announce that he has inside 'sources' that Biden was gonna drop out? He's just desperate for publicity, and but a reliable source for anything

  4. This is an outrageous decision by the Planning Board. After multiple denials, they suddenly approve the project despite clear evidence of non-compliance with zoning laws. It’s appalling that they ignored a letter from attorneys representing the residents, which clearly stated that the Board lacked jurisdiction. The way they deferred to the applicant's engineer for guidance, instead of adhering to the correct ordinances, is highly suspicious and reeks of bias. The Board's flip-flop, especially by Chairman Moshe Neiman, undermines the trust and integrity of the entire planning process. Residents' valid concerns about traffic, safety, and lack of public amenities were blatantly disregarded. This reversal is a blatant disregard for the community’s interests and raises serious questions about the Board's motives. This decision should be challenged and overturned.

    1. Why is this project being singled out? There are similar projects all over town. Approval should not be based on how connected the neighbors are. Yes the concerns are valid, bit this is the reality of our town. If you don't want traffic and no place to sit in shul, then move. Yet hundreds are moving into town every year.

    2. huh, Because many other projects are supposed to be rejected, therefore this project can be approved?!
      The zoning board likely were subtly threatened & bribed. We used to call it: the dangerous mob.

  8. Gas prices are higher because of the summer gas formula in NJ which is more expensive. When taking that into account, gas prices actually dropped.

    Summer-blend gas is used in New Jersey during the summer months and has a lower Reid vapor pressure (RVP) than winter-blend gas. This lower RVP prevents the gas from evaporating too much when temperatures are high, which could cause the car to stop running. Summer-blend gas also has 1.7% more energy than winter-blend gas, which can lead to better gas mileage. However, summer-blend gas is more expensive to produce because it takes longer and the yield per barrel of oil is lower. It also contains less butane than winter-blend gas, which is a cheaper additive.
