3. Why would you want the NJ to remove this benefit?
4. Many would go on unemployment.
5. Not true - not every pump and gas station is pristine, plus it seems there are many people in other states who have trouble operating the pumps as I watch people overfill their cars and leak gas (and diesel) around the pumps. Other states do not require the pumps to capture the vapors like NJ - another reason for spillage.

There will be zero benefit to those of us who buy fuel in NJ.
Thank you.

Oh, hell, I loved my illegal PA fireworks. The neighbor called the police because some bottle rocket debris ended up in his pool filter. Thanks Richard. The police came to my house.

you cant make a case for safety when 48 other states allow self service without problems. also, we currently are limited to only full service and I am very aware that the sky isn't falling. so why are you suggesting that im claiming the sky is falling?

you aren't very good at presenting your case.

The point I was making is nether are you .As I did state you cry about government over reach for pumping gas and I pointed out that the government pretty much has their say about most all jobs in this country "mostly"having to deal with safety .You point against the bill is very weak .

Yeah, I used to love it too. I was just being funny.

The fireworks stores on the border are such a farce though.

NJ should legalize fireworks for Pennsylvanians. Why should they do without on important holidays?

im not really sure how you believe you have a case on government having their say over all jobs when they don't force full service in 48 out of 50 states. so clearly they don't typically mandate that people not be able to pump their own gas. its not a safety issue.

Who does without? Standard practice in PA is to get someone with a NJ license to buy them for you.

We used to visit relatives in NEPA and bring the extra stuff home. There was never a lot and there wasn't anything big or scary. I couldn't legally light a few sparklers in the backyard? Isn't NJ called "The Crossroads of the Revolution." That's pretty embarrassing.
