They'd been tipped off by a suspicious neighbor. More money for the township.

I thought that Gladys Kravitz had died.
the police are the ones that belong in prison for this kind of stuff.

She keeps moving. Maybe there should be a Grab Gladys thread. Many people notice and respond to alliteration.

I was really disappointed to hear about that cash grab. There will be lawyers, fines, and fees. Dad and mom will be paying those.

What's the point? It all comes down to money.

If they pass it this term I'd be surprised if recreational pot sales began before 2020, look what's happened in Massachusetts.

Coincidentally, some cranky articles from some cops posted in nj.com today. There's another anti article inside this one.

you mean via taxation? id rather pay to put the police in prison than someone who was smoking marijuana (or selling it). that is kidnapping. wearing a blue suit doesnt change the crime.

and i dont want $1 trillion dollars a year spent on murdering people (military). so i try to focus on what government should and shouldnt be doing and dont pretend that i have any say on where my money is spent. i want more freedom, less murder.

My god what an awful article.


One of the most salient concerns we have is the consequences of drugged driving.


Salient? Haha, I like it when people use big words to try to sound smart.


This is particularly concerning in New Jersey, the most densely populated state, where the risk of catastrophic consequences related to a drugged driving incident is exponentially more probable.

The risk is more probable. Awesome.


Jesus, the whole thing reads like a 3rd grade essay trying to hit a word requirement. Please don't tell me how much money this guy makes, it will put me in a terrible mood.


I don't know guys, a bunch of ludicrously corrupt, overpaid babies don't want us to have our legal weed. I really think we should listen to them.

Everytime I go to court people ahead of me are there with drug possession tickets. This is big business for the townships. Try taking that away from them. Legalizing it only provided taxes to the state and not local municipalities.

The current bill in the state legislature will allow towns and cities that offer adult-use retail to receive a percentage of the tax directly to the municipality.

In the Township of Union, there's a question on the Nov 6 ballot (Public Question #2) to approve retail sales in Union once the law is passed -

NJ needs many retail locations to make the law a success, so the towns and cities that are on board early have a great opportunity.
