The other one smelled pretty rancid too, but I got some really cool photos.

Absolutely, didn't help how Christie had that win on the record of putting the Kushner dad away either .

Let's see what Biden actually accomplishes (he breaks promises more than a French waiter breaks dishes) but I appreciate the spirit of your comment.

Reply to Spurred by Gov. Murphy’s reform pledge, NJ lawmakers are working on changing liquor licensing laws that have remained largely unchanged since the years just following Prohibition: The current laws make obtaining a liquor license difficult and allow for a finite number of retail consumption licenses by rollotomasi07071
I hope this changes, this system is so archaic.
I went Googling and NJ posts an excel spreadsheet of all of the liquor license holders in the state. I was surprised to see that in my township, we have an inactive consumption license which is owned by the same person who has a distribution license for the only liquor store in our township. They've been holding the retail consumption license hostage since 2013, presumably to force people to their liquor store. That feels wrong to me.

I like going to Annapolis/Maryland, DC, Wildwood during the winter, and Boston.

Got one more then! Place claiming to be America's oldest restaurant is also in Newport. We had dinner there and it's definitely not just a gimmick. Little pricey but very good: https://whitehorsenewport.com/

Not at all. They want your money. They don’t care how much you switch to their company. I just switched last week. My car ins went from $152 a month to $87 a month. Now I bundled homeowners ins with my auto ins when I switched to State Farm but if I didn’t bundle it still woulda been only $104 a month. That’s for 2 people yet & we don’t have bare bones ins either, also have a $500 deductible so not too bad. The only real disadvantage to constant switching is it’s a slight pain to get stuff switched over.

I go at least once a year. Mohonk really is the best day trip near NJ.
If you turn it into a 3 day trip you can stay in new paltz or the Catskills and hit bannerman castle, Hudson valley wineries, Hunter mountain zip line, and tons of amazing hiking.
Did that trip about 5 years back and it was one of most memorable long weekends.

No, we're just going back to how it was before this law, which is barely any guns anywhere to begin with. It's not like we're completely getting rid of any restrictions

Yoooo check out The Mooring at Sayers Wharf. Try the scallop chowder and the lobster claws from the raw bar. Place is so unbelievably good.

Don't even know where to begin. The entire Inner Harbor is jam-packed with cool stuff to do. The Aquarium is easily the most impressive I've ever been to. There are a bunch of old naval vessels docked there that you can tour. Harborplace Mall is right next to an ice rink. A few other personal favorite dining spots include Azumi sushi, the Thames Street Oyster Bar, and the James Joyce Irish Pub.

>Legislation in recent years — and Murphy’s recent remarks — called for
reforms that would add new licenses. Those opposed to these changes said
adding new liquor licenses would immediately devalue the businesses of
current license holders. They emphasize that this would be unfair to
those who invested in purchasing a license. Singleton said his
legislation instead focuses on already existing licenses. According to
estimates cited by Singleton, there are between 1,000 and 1,400 inactive
liquor licenses in New Jersey.
Honestly this sounds like a "Too bad" kind of situation. The liquor license situation is terribly outdated and I'm not sure this bill to expand purchases outside municipalities is much of a practical solution. I think a better solution would be to get rid of the system all together and then maybe have the state offer a "stimulus" system for small-businesses to help them recover the some of the cost they put into buying liquor licenses.

This project would have been done already, if not soon enough. Now we'll have to wait years for this.
So much better.

Every agency has those IT specialist positions, some with different starting salaries. Make sure you browse all agencies to compare. Also, you can apply to IT specialist 2 or 3 position if they are available. You will easily climb up with your experience.
