CrowderGulf, headquartered in Theodore, Alabama, will undertake local cleanup and dredging effort
An Alabama company will undertake a massive cleanup and debris removal effort in waterways following Superstorm Sandy. State authorities have removed more than 1,000 boats since the storm hit, but the remains of many others, plus debris resulting from everything from destroyed homes to derelict vessels previously undetected pose a threat to navigation as the spring boating season draws near. Three companies were awarded contracts to clear New Jersey's waterways of debris, hopefully before spring arrives. Donjon Marine will be responsible for the northern portion of the state, from the New York border to Raritan Bay. CrowderGulf, of Theodore, Alabama, will be responsible for the central portion of the state, from the Navesink River in …

The governor accuses statehouse Democrats of holding his tax cut plan 'hostage' during a stop in Manasquan.
Gov. Chris Christie said today he does not expect to be former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's pick for vice president. "Hopefully (Romney) picks a smart, well-qualified person who's ready to be president and ready to support him as president," Christie said Monday in Manasquan. "Who that's going to be? I don't know. I assume we're going to hear relatively soon what his decision is." The governor, who is set to head across the U.S. this week to campaign for Romney, kicked off his tour of the Jersey Shore at the Manasquan Pavillion, where he touted the tax cut plan that he said statehouse Democrats are "holding hostage." Christie, fresh off what he described as much-needed vacation after getting into a verbal scuffle with a passerby on the…
Inlet first stop on 'Endless Summer Tax Relief Tour'
Gov. Chris Christie, who for months has been touting his income tax relief proposal for all New Jerseyans, will make an appearance Monday in Manasquan to do just that.

Dempsey and Doherty say company cares more about profits than customers
As two northern New Jersey municipalities are asking the state for permission to switch from Jersey Central Power & Light to another electricity provider, the mayors of Manasquan and Belmar, whose residents are JCP&L customers, said they wished they could do the same. Last week, Robbinsville and Warren Township filed requests to the state Board of Public Utilities for permission to switch to Public Service Electric & Gas, while 14 other towns are also considering the same move, the Star Ledger reported Dec. 2. But both municipalities border the PSE&G grid and a portion of Robbinsville is already powered by the company, while Manasquan and Belmar are miles away. Both Manasquan Mayor George Dempsey and his Belmar counterpart Matthew Doherty …

For seven years I worked with law enforcement officers to get illegal guns off the street, prosecute gang members, thwart terrorist plots at Newark Airport and Fort Dix and throw corrupt politicians in jail. I know how hard your work, and you deserve a governor who will stand with you. While I have put forward proposals to cut taxes and cut spending so we can bring change to New Jersey to make it… more ›
