The sand roads in Wharton State Forest have been open to motorized traffic even before the state purchased the tract from the Joseph Wharton estate. While there are serious concerns about the damage that illegal off-road vehicle traffic causes, the blanket closing of over 50% of the roads in the forest is not the answer. This action will only serve to keep law-abiding people out while doing nothing to curb the abuse from the minority who drive destructively. By and large the effect will be felt by citizens who do not even drive vehicles capable of creating the kind of damage that this policy attempts to address. Closing these roads - most of which have no damage from irresponsible drivers - will forever change the character of the forest as a place to get away into nature, explore, hunt, launch a canoe, photograph, etc. This will make the forest less attractive for use as only a limited amount of "main" roads remain open, providing very little in the way of interest. Additionally, this action was taken without any announcement or period of public comment. The only way that people found out of the closures was when they came across freshly posted signs in the woods. A decision like this that would affect tens of thousands of users of Wharton State Forest should be a lot more transparent. Only roads that have significant damage from irresponsible off-road vehicles should be closed off and repaired or allowed to revert back to nature. Additionally, Park Police need to step up enforcement of the existing areas that are off-limits to motorized vehicles. Less closed roads would mean that the number of places that would have to be patrolled would be fewer and easier to manage. The people who are enthusiastic users of Wharton State Forest and other State Forests demand that this wrong headed policy be reversed.

Telephone meetings are not enough. Central New Yorkers need a way to have their concerns heard and addressed in person by their congressman. We need in-person town halls.

Village lakers would love to stay with Reedy high the new high school. There are benefits in terms of distance and convenience. We believe that Village lakers can raise the standards and will also help in reduced traffic.

Education is very important and should not be taken lightly. The FCAT system is flawed and with new "rigorous" testing with increased expectations it will hurt more students than help them. The newly applied scoring system in April of 2012 shows just that. Per a letter I received on 5/1/12 it says "The combination of a much more rigorous FCAT test,coupled with raising the threshold for receiving a passing score may result in a dip in student scores.For example, students that have consistently scored Level 3 (passing rate) THEIR entire school career could easily score below the passing level with the new standards." This only puts more pressure on young children and is not responsible.

We the people are petitioning NJ General Assembly & US Congress to fund & authorize The Incentive Direct Cash Income weekly supplement to meet the immediate needs of Individuals living in Jersey City who have experienced job loss, are having to accept lower wages, in between gig jobs or have been adversely affected by events related to covid-19 leading to long term unemployment whose benefits expired or those who do not qualify to participate in rent relief programs The Incentive Direct Cash Income will also give people a chance to escape the poverty trap and to close the wealth gap by considering the Incentive to be the Universal Basic Income for the United States. It can help those who have already been displaced or evicted relocate avoid the shelter system or homelessness loss of all possessions & ID documents while employment workforce assimilation & integration is taking place. This pandemic caused even greater economic hardships for those employed with no sick leave or paid time off compensation for taking months out of work to shelter in place. Due to lack of work opportunity due to businesses and company's closing, tech integrations and job obsoleting reducing the need for employees, job competition, new college graduates, immigrant & migrant worker integration and unconditionally provides a weekly direct cash payment deposited on an unlimited reloadable Visa/Mastercard debit card, or on to an app with investment options. The Incentive will work for people who are pursuing upwards mobility when they have a job & when they don't. The purpose is to increase the economic, value, and mobility of every citizen and become able to actually meet the rising cost of living through direct cash supplements that are not contingent on having employment, nor set according to a stagnant skillset that justifies consigning essential, gig, temporary, blue collar workers to low wage pay, or an earnings minimum. The Incentive Direct Cash Income Supplement can be added to your earnings to create a dignified salary that you can live more fully. During this great global reset, we are witnessing weather extremes, mass migrations, arrivals of asylum seekers & refugees experiencing social political civil revolutions, police brutalities, deprivation of rights opportunity and financial gain. It will also allow people to manage their own economic growth & self determination with a goal of eliminating poverty and income inequality in America. Jersey City residents are encouraged to sign the petition and write in the space provided that they wish to apply to be selected to receive the Incentive Direct Cash Income Supplement or if people are signing to support the mission.
