JESUS
WALKS WITH ME…On Good Friday, Westfield’s Timothy Burke, donning a crown of thorns and carrying the cross, reprised his role as Jesus Christ, having appeared last year as the religious figure, Christian tradition states Jesus who was crucified on that date but resurrected on Easter Sunday. Mr. Burke, who matriculated as a special student at Seton Hall University’s seminary school, started walking downtown from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Westfield. The cross is constructed of timbers from the original Moeller organ salvaged when Mr. Burke helped construct the new organ at St. Paul’s Church. He calls the act “The Gospel Theatre for the Streets.”

Reform Thoughts |
 |
It's been suggested that NJ Legislators' voting power in the Legislature be weighted based on how many votes each received in getting elected; or alternately, based on voter turnout. The reasoning is that the seats are all arranged as safe seats and the power bosses snuff out competition while discouraging voting. As example, in District 20 in 2003 without competition Senator Ray Lesniak (D) received 12,361 votes with a
dismal turnout. In District 21 in 2003, Senator Tom Kean (R) with
competition received 32,058 votes with about 47,600 people voting. Perhaps Kean's vote should be worth three times that of Lesniak. Sen. Lesniak takes pride in the power he has garnered over District 20. But, has he instead destroyed Democracy? In NJ, there are 40 Districts, each with about 210,000 people.
