Editorial:
Non-Competitive District Funds Finance the Party Faithful...Money continues to flow
into campaign coffers in this year’s Congressional election. While money is a big
factor in the handful of competitive races, those who are running unopposed or
facing only token challenges continue to raise hundreds of thousands, or millions of
dollars. This money is divvied up and sent to the coffers of candidates in more
"competitive" races as decided by party leaders.
Editorial:
Rotter Joins Long List of Local Leaders Who Rose, Made Good...It's always nice when
someone local makes good. In recent years, a number of men and women from our area
have indeed made good and served the public well. The most recent example is Kenneth
Rotter who was just named acting executive director of the New Jersey Turnpike
Authority (NJPA) on July 22.

Government Reform Thought:
The practice of wheeling campaign funds should be brought to an end. Wheeling is
where money is transferred throughout a political party, candidate or PAC and sent
to other candidates. We believe this distorts the electorial process and impedes
citizens' ability to choose their elected officials.
