Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who increasingly finds himself on the national political stage, has a decision to make: run for governor or run for U.S. Senate? Booker, 43, said he's considering both, and will make a decision in the next two weeks, according to the Huffington Post.

Governor outlines 2012 budget proposal, including tax cuts, increased school aid
Gov. Chris Christie vowed on Tuesday afternoon to continue with what he coined as the “new normal” in New Jersey and keep the state on a path of fiscal frugality and reform. In his address outlining the state's 2012 budget, Christie said he is calling for a reform effort that “marks the line in the sand that separates the way things used to be, and the way they are going to be.” It reduces government spending 2.6 percent from last year’s $30.2 billion budget and “marks a departure from the Trenton tradition of budgeting to meet deficit projections that embrace wish-list spending by legislators and assume continuous funding increases that irresponsibly ignore actual revenue sources,” the governor said. Instead, his budget takes a “bottom to…

Raising Dunes did not protect my beach front home. All it did was have more sand to go through peoples homes and pile up on the street to be hauled, cleaned and put back on the beach. A higher home with a cement foundation and storm shutters is what saved my home. more ›
