Before these proposals advance further, it’s important that people understand what they do and how they could shape the incoming administration’s ability to govern. Now is the right moment to pay attention, not after the votes are cast.

New Jersey politics is almost uniformly pro-corruption because even the people who aren't personally doing corruption spend their free time schmoozing with people for whom public corruption is their livelihood, and so things like public records requests and watchdog agencies are just so burdensome

"But rather than have any Senate examination of the problems raised by these investigations, Scutari wants to shut them down. And a lame duck session, when legislators and an outgoing governor might be more willing to make deals, may provide that opportunity."
