Reply to comment by iboxagox in 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

That won’t go away. NYC has plenty of restaurants that’s are BYO or charge a corkage fee. The only time you pay a corkage fee in NJ is if the restaurant has a liquor license, and even then, it’s worth it.

I don’t understand how this day in age we have bars that don’t serve food! There should be a law that if you are serving alcohol you must serve food

Reply to In light of Biden announcing funding for the Hudson tunnels, let’s not forget Chris Christie canceled the original project which would have been done by now and cost half as much. by Flashinglights0101

Whats the over/under on the completion date and final cost? Its already projected to cost $16 Billion. At the current inflation rate, you can probably add a billion or two to that estimate each year. No way this gets completed for under $20 Billion. It won't be completed until 2038. Add a few more years to that because and I wouldn't think it'll get down until 2045ish.

So Biden does a photo op while pledging $292 million grant. Wow, That money will be enough to go toward studies, some initial engineering plans, and pay for the State of New Jersey's "Department of Building Stuff" to shuffle papers for a few years, make some public presentations on how this project will be transformative to the lives of least fortunate among us. But until someone shows up with $20 billion in a bag, nothing else will happen.

Just wait... Come back to this post in 30 years and I bet I'm right.
