Honestly, this might make me more :crab-party: than Trump. ARC cancellation was a tragedy. Christie is an enemy of trains, and any enemy of trains is a enemy of mine.
Only person lower than this worm is Pataki for canning Alternative G. And now they've rezoned Midtown east so Alt G will never happen.
NJ was supposed to legalize weed back in 2018, but they were so busy arguing over how to spend the new tax revenue and whether or not distributor licenses should preferentially be given to black people, that they decided to just keep it illegal, not reap any new cash flow from taxes, and keep handing out criminal records to those they ostensibly want to help.
The NJ state legislature is among the worst in the entire country. Please run for it if you can, NJ is like one of the only states without any sort of meaningful state level left movements in the north east.
I was only there for a year on a temporary work assignment, and being from a super-illegal state I was excited to get there right as legalization was supposed to happen. My hopes dwindled quickly as I became acquainted with NJ politics. Luckily Massachusetts finally came through that November, so I was able to squeeze in a couple road trips during my time there.
Maine legalized weed in 2016 and is just now opening recreational stores on Friday - though the medical scene is very relaxed and has very good bud. So don't hold your breath down there
Let's be clear here. The police unions opposed it and Sweeney had absolutely no intent of letting it pass through the legislature. Everything else was just excuses.
A constitutional amendment is on the ballot. Page two (back of page one) public referendum one. Fuck everyone on the ballot (maybe you did better, but every candidate on my ballot is a county machine or DNC hack), but please vote for that.
To be fair here as well, Christie did support a more rapid timeline for the gateway project among other related transit priorities into NY, but Cuomo shut it all down.
Right, but Gateway literally only exists because Christie cancelled ARC when he got into office. Years later when NJT was becoming a political liability, he grandstanded about speeding up Gateway, but in my view it was largely theater because he knew the Cuomo guys on the PA board would never agree.
Not that Cuomo isn't a total piece of shit. Cuomo deserves... oof, I don't think I can say it even on Chapo.

He is also staunchly against legal weed, and NJ is 4 weeks away from almost certainly legalizing it via ballot initiative.
