Gov. Phil Murphy proposed a $40.9 billion budget that raises taxes on millionaires, cigarettes and guns while setting aside a record amount of money for NJ Transit — but he helps pay for that by diverting money from other accounts, moves he has denounced as budget gimmickry.

And he boasted that "no other administration has done so much in its first two years to control property taxes," a claim his predecessors would likely challenge. The late Brendan Byrne enacted the income tax, which must by law go solely to property tax relief. Jim McGreevey sent taxpayers rebates. Chris Christie signed a 2% cap on annual property tax increases. 

Murphy hailed his overseeing the lowest and fourth-lowest year-over-year increases in property taxes on record, but despite that slow growth New Jersey's average of $8,767 ranks No. 1 nationwide. 

Watch the rest of the Democratic States to follow. Just a thought.

Chelsea...

 

Before the election: Chelsea Handler jumped the gun and went ahead and bought a house just in case. She told a reporter, “I did buy a house in another country just in case…so all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t — I actually will leave that country.”   2016.

Spain...

 

Amy Schumer

"My act will change because I'll need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain, or somewhere," the comedienne and cousin of Sen. Chuck Schumer said. "It's beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It's too crazy." 2016.

Please voice your heart's desire for this coming election.   Just a thought. 

Move...

 

Whoopi Goldberg

"The View" co-host said she'd find a new home if Trump won: "I don't want it to be America. Maybe it's time for me to move, you know.". 2016.

Time to voice your heart desire...

Out of Here...

 

Al Sharpton
"If Donald Trump is the nominee, I'm open to support anyone, while I'm also reserving my ticket out of here if he wins," the reverend said in February 2016.

Any one thinking of voicing it again. Now is the time.

Flushing...

 

A  second study conducted by Chinese researchers from Yangzhou University reported that flushing a public restroom toilet or urinal can release clouds of virus-laden aerosols that can be inhaled, posing a serious public health challenge. 

The scientists simulated and tracked virus-laden particle movements when toilets and urinals were flushed.  

The disturbing results revealed that the trajectory of the particles ejected from flushing showed that more than 57% of the particles traveled away from the urinal. The researchers further point out that when men use urinals in a public restroom, these tiny particles can reach their thigh within 5.5 seconds when compared to the toilet flush, which takes 35 seconds to reach slightly higher. 

“From our work, it can be inferred that urinal flushing indeed promotes the spread of bacteria and viruses,” said one of the study’s authors. “Wearing a mask should be mandatory within public restrooms during the pandemic, and anti-diffusion improvements are urgently needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have yet to comment after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday dropped its recommendation for travelers to quarantine for 14 days upon returning from trips overseas or out of state during the coronavirus pandemic.

The three states have two-week quarantine requirements for travelers coming from 35 states and territories.

The CDC updated its guidelines on its website. The federal agency did caution travelers that they can still contract the novel coronavirus while travelin.

The CDC recommends travelers wear masks indoors, wash hands, maintain social distancing guidelines, and monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID

Newly unsealed documents suggest Joe Biden 'personally raised the idea' of investigating former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn over his ties to Russia.

The partly-redacted handwritten notes by disgraced ex-FBI Agent Peter Strzok point to the possibility it was the then-vice president who suggested Flynn could have violated the Logan Act during phone calls with then-Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. 

'VP: "Logan Act."' read Strzok's notes, dated January 4 2017 and attached to federal court papers filed Wednesday by Flynn's defense team.  [After the election]

Back in May, Biden first claimed he knew 'nothing' of the Obama administration's moves to investigate Flynn, when he was serving as vice president in the White House.  

They also reveal Obama called for 'the right people' to investigate Flynn and that Comey said Flynn's conversations with Kislyak 'appear legit,' according to Wednesday's four-page court filing.
