News of events came directly to Kollock from Washington's headquarters in nearby Morristown, which he published to boost the morale of the troops and their families, and he conducted lively debates about the efforts for independence with those who opposed and supported the cause he championed.

Hughes in 1961 until Democrat Jon Corzine was elected to replace a Democrat in 2005; the legislature has also switched hands, and one house was evenly divided from 1999–2001.
New Jersey is the birthplace of many modern inventions such as: FM radio, the motion picture camera, the lithium battery, the light bulb, transistors, and the electric train.

New initiatives to be undertaken will target three specific areas: threat response support capability, public awareness and participation, and future technological innovations.
These base-line measures could be adjusted in consultation with transit and rail system owners and operators in response to higher threat levels or specific threats in the future.
All major state and local mass transit and rail commuter operators have completed vulnerability assessments since Sept. 11 with federal technical assistance to best determine where current and future security resources must be directed to reduce vulnerabilities to terrorism.

 Rail spur brings downtown Newark a taste of its past [Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers]
A new mile-long light rail spur downtown, which took four years to complete, is to start service between the city’s two commuter train stations and make parts of the city more accessible.
North said, the transit agency expects the spur to attract 4,000 riders a day in the first year of operation.
Goldman said the transit agency showed an appreciation for the performing arts by installing a “floating track bed” atop several rubber disks at the arts center stop — in an effort to keep passing trains from disturbing a performance or recording session.

 New Jersey Court Cases - Court Case Law from NJ - New Jersey Court Opinions
Plaintiff contends that he "is only required to submit to arbitration those claims for which the NASD requires arbitration." While acknowledging the mandatory arbitration of claims specified by the NASD, he asserts that a claim under the CEPA is exempt from arbitration in accordance with the amended rule.
We recognize that the NASD Code was not written exclusively for New Jersey securities dealers and brokers or with the law of this State exclusively in mind.
Consistent with Abbamont's approach, the United States District Court, applying New Jersey law, has held that the analytical framework applied in a retaliatory discharge case under CEPA is similar to that applied in a violation of anti-discrimination statutes, such as Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act.

 New York City Transit Planning
The limitations imposed by the operation at Mott Haven, which cause the disparity between the morning and evening capacities, are such that from one-quarter to one-half of the trains can operate to or from the Hudson sub-division in the direction of commuter movement.
Each train operated as a local between 125th Street and Woodlawn reduces the number of trains which can be operated on the Harlem line by seven in the morning and three in the evening.
Assuming two such trains continue to be operated during the peak morning and the peak evening rush hours, the capacity of the morning service is reduced to 614 cars per hour and the evening to 508 cars per hour, 15% and 8% reductions, respectively.

 Northern New Jersey: Light Rail's Spectacular Comeback
The background of rail transit in Newark is a story of appalling destruction and decline followed by resurgence and renewal in recent years.
This meant that readily identifiable, reliable electric rail services, many with portions of their routes in exclusive rights-of-way, were replaced with less spacious, often fume-producing buses, operating in less recognizable routes and competing with other street traffic.
However, bus operation to Penn Station was deemed infeasible, and that section of the Cedar St. subway was closed; the tunnel was used for storage, but gradually became a depository for debris.
