Even the usual suspect that issue tickets were nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for keeping us safe.
LOL!
The NJSP think of all of us as subhuman. Once the SHTF, they probably said "F this", and went back to their offices to watch/laugh at all of us on their traffic cams
So, you approved of both the Governor and the Lt. Governor leaving the state at the same time for NON-essential purposes?
The resulting ****-storm on shore-area highways was truly horrendous.
And, incidentally, Kimmy lied about her destination when she was called to task, and our esteemed ex-Governor asked if people expected him to shovel it himself.
Now that's leadership!
NOT...
By contrast, Murphy--to his credit--stated that, ultimately, he is the one who is responsible for the storm response, and is willing to take the "fall" for this.
You are foolishly trying to give Murphy a pass based on something you happen to think you remember...
State and local governments are often darned if they do, and darned if they don't when it comes to bad weather forecasts.
If they man up and prepare by having crews, plows, salt, etc... at the ready and nothing happens, they've just blown a wad on costs (including OT) for bunch of guys to sit around staring at their phones or whatever making good money on taxpayers dimes.
Then again when they don't activate you get situations as seen yesterday and typical (though likely justified) responses.
In the end you can't win. Governments only have certain sums set aside for snow/inclement weather. If they blow that wad early in winter season and bad weather pops up well into March or even April, then you've got a budget hole which must be filled.
Well said.
The snow fell fast and traffic just piled up, blocking the roads. It was unfortunate timing but mother nature is ultimately in control.

Keep trying to give Murphy a pass, our liberal governor will keep failing you...
But that's OK, because we our a sanctuary state...you got what you want. Spend money on people that don't pay taxes, and the people that do, well, screw them....

I didn't vote for Murphy nor do I support becoming a sanctuary state. I'm just a realist when it comes to the weather.

Sweeney was serving as acting governor. Too much for him, I guess?
CC was right....was he going to get out there and shovel the turnpike?
He had a cell phone and a pen.
And the BIG difference is that Murphy was in NJ & flubbed this miserably. But all is forgiven b/c he said he'll take the fall?
