Please be sure to vote YES today to both Public Questions on today’s ballot:
STATE QUESTION NO. 1 – CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PERMIT CASINO GAMBLING IN TWO COUNTIES OTHER THAN ATLANTIC COUNTY
Do you approve amending the Constitution to permit casino gambling in two additional counties in this State? At present, casino gambling is allowed only in Atlantic City in Atlantic County.
Only one casino in each of the two counties would be permitted. Each casino is to be located in a town that is at least 72 miles from Atlantic City. The amendment would allow certain persons to apply first for a casino license.
STATE QUESTION NO. 2 – CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO DEDICATE ADDITIONAL REVENUES TO STATE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Do you approve amending the Constitution to dedicate all revenue from the State motor fuels tax and petroleum products gross receipts tax to the Transportation Trust Fund?
This amendment would provide that an additional three cents of the current motor fuels tax on diesel fuel, which is not dedicated for transportation purposes, be dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund. In doing so, the entire State tax on diesel fuel would be used for transportation purposes. The entire State tax on gasoline is currently dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund and used for transportation
purposes.
The amendment would also provide that all of the revenue from the current State tax on petroleum products gross receipts be dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund. In doing so, the entire State tax on petroleum products gross receipts would be used for transportation purposes.
This amendment does not change the current tax on motor fuels or petroleum products gross receipts.
Good Morning New Jersey
We’ll see
Of course, we know full well NJ will vote “No” to these, and we’ll f*ck ourselves over yet again.
Big line this AM to vote in Middletown
Vote NO on the gas tax bill .It’s designed to fool you into believing they just want a “lock box” on the tax ,if that’s all they wanted they could have included it on the original bill .This bill is to sidestep the question of voters approving more debt for the TTF up to 18 BILLION more which the gas tax must be raised to pay off that debt …This state needs no more borrowing we’re one of the most indebted state in the country
Soutwin…you are wrong. I did the research. This is to avoid the money being spent on crapola instead of overpriced transportation projects.
I heard lines are very, very long across states that are open. In Hoboken, I saw a line around the corner. I don’t know what it means. I don’t think anyone does.
http://lwvnj.org/images/voting/2016/2016_BallotQ-TTF.pdf
I think Hillary wins in a landslide is what it means based on the line in GR. I guess the status quo is better than hate.
What are the voting tendencies of people in Hoboken?
Seems like NJ votes are driven by the guys panhandling in Newark Penn Station rather than the people commuting to work through the station.
Steamturd …so their is no borrowing attached to this bill which need voter approval ?
“I guess the status quo is better than hate.”
Steamturd, you have captured the essence of this election in a nutshell!
Long lines at polling places are never a good sign for Republicans!
Steamturd,
Level of education and common sense truly have no correlation. This is not a Democrat vs. Republican thing; it’s a status quo vs. burn-it-to-the-ground-start-over thing. That b1tch is going to run wild and shackle those that carry this country. It’s nothing more than promises in exchange for her syndicate to operate. A stup1d populace is a democrats best friend.
Long lines at polling places are never a good sign for Republicans!
And none of those votes are a protest vote for Stein or Johnson?
101.5 FM this morning was saying vote NO on question #2, the legislators want 12 Billion in bonding and it is not included in the ballot question.
Here is a video.

Hoboken leans as far left as it gets.
Yeah, that really was my first thought when I saw the line.
Here is another interpretation of ballot question #2.
TTF Authority to bond… More trains to nowhere.
“Taxpayers can be forced to pay debts that are secured by a “dedicated” tax. That is why both the Republican and Democrat establishments want you to vote “yes” vote on Ballot Question 2.
A “yes” vote on Tuesday “dedicates” all gas tax money to “the transportation system.” That new “dedicated” tax will let the insolvent NJ Transportation “Trust” Fund Authority hock future gas tax collections for the next 20 years. This would let the TTF Authority borrow another $12 billion on top of the $16 billion it previously borrowed without voter approval. Since all future tax hike money will be going to Wall Street, we will again have nothing left to build and fix roads and bridges once the borrowed money is spent. That means we will have another “crisis” with dangerous roads and bridges in just a few years.”
Here is the full opinion.
http://politicsoc.com/2016/11/%EF%BB%BFopinion-ballot-question-2-dishonest-even-jersey-standards/
NJ 101.5 is doing a massive disservice to NJ.
Wait and see, you’ll see.
When the gas tax revenues are all bonded through general fund to support non-transportation projects, and the TTF continues to be bankrupt as a result.
That new “dedicated” tax will let the insolvent NJ Transportation “Trust” Fund Authority hock future gas tax collections for the next 20 years.
Of course it does.
The Transportation Trust Fund does not operate like a savings account. It never has, and it never will. Even if you are fiscally responsible, you’ll realize that this is nonsensical in the grand scheme.
You can wait 20 years to save up enough money in the TTF to build a bridge outright. Or, you can bond against the revenues to generate the capital to build the bridge today. Why would you want to do that? Because you get the benefits of the infrastructure now, as opposed to in 20 years.
This is the reason the law is written in the way it is. This is not some secret cabal trying to sneak something under our noses.
NJ doesn’t need our approval to borrow money and issue debt based on existing tax revenues. Let me remind you, the gas tax and it’s dedication to both the TTF and General fund already exist within the constitution.
However, by not dedicating the funds to the TTF, they become “free game” as part of the general fund. They can be bonded against there as well, and they will.
There is absolutely no realistic situation that requires any repeal of the gas tax law, either for a yes or no vote.
Anyone who makes it seems like voting no sets the stage for any kind of repeal of that law is being incredibly disingenuous.
The state constitution is INCREDIBLY CLEAR on the gas tax revenues today.
$200 million go to the TTF, everything collected above that goes to the General fund.
Everthing. Which is now even larger as it includes the gas tax increase.
I would also agree that a “no” vote makes it nearly impossible to repeal the gas tax, as there are hordes of democrats who will now see this as a viable new funding source for their projects, and will reach for this pile of money with a massive amount of quid pro quo and pork projects.
Every penny will be consumed in the new budget. Once it’s consumed, it will be impossible to rededicate the funds. We know that in NJ, it is impossible to reduce spending.
Which is why I feel that the NJ 101.5 position is nonsense, because they believe, somehow, this forces some kind fiscal restraint.
However, THIS IS NOT A REFERENDUM ON SPENDING.
So, instead of restricting the fund usage, it becomes free game. In the State of NJ, this means it’s spent, immediately.
So, in trying to create a sense of fiscal responsibility, they are going to create a situation that results in the EXACT OPPOSITE.
THESE TAXES ARE ALREADY FREE GAME WITH REGARDS TO BONDING AND DEBT, THEY HAVE BEEN, THEY WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.
If you get a democratic majority legislature, and a democratic governor, you could see a scenario where they borrow against this to make a $12 billion dollar one time injection into the pension funds.
Probable? No. Possible and Legal? Yes.
God help us.
Read that PDF I attached. Look at the pros and cons. NJ101.5 is wrong. I watched that video too. The premise is that if all of the money collected through the gas tax is not dedicated to the TTF, then they’ll have to figure out another way to fund the TTF and they’ll repeal the gas tax. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The gas tax is a done deal. If anything will happen, they will need to create an additional tax (or an increase of an existing one) to make up for the shortfall created when the gas tax money raised doesn’t go to the TTF. It’s really a no-brainer. BTW, it took Gator so long to vote that I will just skip my vote for none-of-the-above this year. She was on line for nearly an hour. I have to leave work early since the NJ Devils have invited Gator JR. and his friend to bring the Devils out on the ice during tonight’s pregame show. It’s another cancer sibling benefit. And some other good news. Daniel’s first post chemo MRI appears to be clear. Radiation is about to begin in about four weeks.
So it’s obvious why there is democratic opposition to the constitutional amendment.
So why the republican opposition?
Because it forms the basis for the next set of campaigns. They can say they were running against the gas tax, trying to repeal it, which would be appealing to voters. It also gives them a position by which to completely separate themselves from Chris Christie, who has poisoned the NJ republicans for the next decade.
So who gets screwed? We do.
Thanks for the explanation, Grim. appreciate it
And in other news…Pricel1ne beyatches.
I am too busy today, but someone should look into how that question got onto the ballot. If you look hard enough, you’ll probably find the connection to the NJEA.
Guadano the “never trumper” who bragged she didn’t vote for him is just gearing up for a shot at the governors seat. Looking to harness voter anger over the gas tax.
She’s full of crap.

What people don’t realize is that the constitutional question was required specifically because the constitution needs to be updated to reflect the change in law, and that can only be done through the ballot question. The constitution today specifically allocates $200 million to the TTF and any additional funds to overflow to the General fund.
The question has nothing to do with approving additional bonding.
This is a complete misunderstanding.
The ballot question was actually approved BEFORE the tax gas law was agreed, finalized, and signed.
Shame shame shame on 101.5.
My guess is that when the pension referendum was not supported by state officials, the NJEA somehow put their weight (and money) behind this one.
An unrelated, but lightly supports my c0ckamamie theory. Hey, if ExPat can do it…
http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/opinion/editorials/2016/08/04/editorial-njea-crosses-line-pension-ultimatum/88073382/
Like I said above, these additional, already constitutionally dedicated, revenues become fair game in the general fund.
This includes being appropriated to make pension payments. Even bonded out 20 years to make a huge lump sum payment.
Here’s my other prediction. Stock market will have its best week of 2016 and will rally until the end of the year. Time to change the urinal pucks.
101.5 knows their audience much like Trump does. Both will ignore the facts and say what is not true to ignite their audience into a frenzy. Don’t change that channel, we’ll be right back.
Now, to wait to see how SHE thanks Wall Street.

Grim – 10:11
You speak the unspeakable truth, HUZZAH!
Depth and breadth of the disinformation campaign is simply stunning.
Even if all of the TTF is excess of the mandate are applied, Pension system is utterly hopeless. NJ number one! https://burypensions.wordpress.com/2016/11/02/worst-funded-state-retirement-system/
What’s stunning is how hard it is to find the truth online.
The casino question is just as clouded. It’s really just a question of keeping the revenue in NJ or in Malaysia/New York.

A poll worker in East Brunswick said turnout has been steady but “not crushing,” not as big as when Obama won in 2008.
Longer line than usual this AM when I pulled the lever for Mr Trump.
“A stup1d populace is a democrats best friend.”
They are actually large groups of very smart Republicans! They did very well during Obama years, and a guaranteed way to keep the course steady is to nominate a gullible, clueless TV actor as their nominee! The danger is that some of them are over-acting and are in danger of giving away the play book!
THE END IS NIGH!!!
No matter what
We now know what Franklin was talking about when asked what the Congress had wrought: “a Republic, madam. If you can keep it.”
We are seeing what you get when you don’t.
Yes, we have bananas
All this poll watching in NJ is for naught. NJ is so far behind the blue firewall, the GOP invested nothing of note here
101.5 can go to hell for pushing this nonsense. It’s going to get voted down now. I’m at a loss for words.

I live in Hoboken. On a local level things have changed in that the yuppies have turned out in force to stop the local “Democratic Party” machine from them off. However, for some reason they can’t understand the same thing is happening to them on a National level in DC with somebody like Clinton.
I had a friends 50th birthday party last night at a restaurant in NYC and I was rather surprised a) that people were talking politics and b) that there was such a healthy disdain for HRC by many of the female attendees even though they were going to vote for her.
Essentially her election has everything to do with Trump as a candidate and nothing to do with anything positive HRC has done. Everyone of them thought she was a corrupt POS.
Personally I hope HRC wins. Four years of her crowd of psychophants, crony capitalists and media whores may just be enough to tip this country over into the abyss and perhaps generate some real change.

I don’t want to wait. I want a revolution now.
The answer is easy, we just need another gas tax increase to be dedicated for transportation projects.
See how that works?
Y’all just got suckered.
For years the pols have been skimming revenue from various funds and pools to their pork projects.
This year, they got you to do it for them.
You can’t even argue that they did it on their own and should be blamed.
Even the republicans are laughing, because they now have plausible deniability to completely separate themselves as having any role in increasing taxes.
Lib, please, please, please, don’t jinx the hotels!
re: “101.5 knows their audience”
Yeah the commuting taxpayer.
Vote them all out I say…
The masses are asses. This has never been more evident than in this current election cycle. I keep asking myself…we are only hearing what was leaked. I can only imagine what things go on that haven’t been proven by emails. Regardless of Christie’s knowledge of Bridgegate, can you believe the gall of his advisors to use commuters as pawns to get back at the Fort Lee mayor for not providing an endorsement? Trump still hasn’t revealed his taxes. The entire DNC should be in prison with their leader. The corruption and complete disregard for ethics in government is astounding. And it’s on every single level. Yet the masses still cheer for their parties. Quite frankly, I’m embarrassed.
“I don’t want to wait. I want a revolution now.”
I am not opposed. Problem is Trump’s policies are retreads that do little more to address the underlying problems the country faces than HRC.
Declining standards of living and job losses; ridiculous deficit spending; out of control entitlements; Citizen’s United and the resulting crony capitalism, regulatory capture, selective enforcement of the law, trade deals like TPP, consolidation of corporate owned media etc.
We are definitely declining as a nation.
I may chop my pen1s off and run as the first transgendered president in 2020. The DNC should eat it up. If only I was Asian too.
STEAM [12:41];

“Fundamentally Transformed” is I think what we were promised. And it was subsequently re-elected in 2012, now it would seem more of the same for another 4-8 years.
Wow did I call the market reversal today. I’m like nostradumbass.
Moose. All one needs to do is commute to New York by train. If you’re lucky, some homeless person won’t push you in front of an oncoming subway car.
Until you get the money out of the elections the problems aren’t going to be addressed properly. You’ll continue to have a bunch of dog and pony show theatrics in D.C.; window dressing legislation and regulations; and the can will be kicked down the road until the people rise up and tear things apart. Kind of like some of the recent inner city riots but on a more massive scale. How long down the road it goes is anybody’s guess but I am guessing the road is much shorter than it was 10-15 years ago. As Gerald Celente is always saying “when people lose everything THEY LOSE IT!”
Some positive news for a change…Our son’s first post chemo MRI came back negative yesterday. Radiation is next and we pray he is not left like Pumpkin after 6 weeks of it. We can be hopeful. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out. Many of you here included.
Lib, too much temptation to resist… based on what you info you shared and basic genetics, you don’t have to chop off to run :) Sorry, but you set up everything for the punchline.
The good news is that many seem to share similar concerns with respect to direction of the country (unless the phrases mean different things — say, “selective enforcement of law” is “jail Chiristie” or “jail HRC” for some, and “reduce excessive use of police and prosecutor power” for some).
Ann Coulter jumped the shark with a wish to restrict voting to people with “at least four US born grandparents”! So, chances are the GOP doubles down again in 2020? If so, the Democrats can simply say, “vote for me, or else you will get Ann Coulter”!
My approach? Be thankful for good things, be prepared for many bad case scenarios (we thought through bad cases, and ended up with a wishful target of moving to CA in ten or soyears), and keep chugging along.
I lived in California for a couple years in a half Hasidic/half lesbo community. Apparently, both groups had an aversion to pork.
California is really not too bad once you learn to accept that everyone has the value system of a high-school cheerleader. I lived in California for two years in a half Hasidic/half lesbo community. Apparently, both groups had an aversion to pork.
See? That’s how you develop a punchline Flea.

CBS just runs a montage of election clips to close out their 630p national news. Unbelievable. A minute long. Negative Trump clips. Hillary all positive to neutral. Closes with Obama’s speech where he tells his supporters to stop booing and get out and vote instead. Two hours to poll closing. Ought to have their fcc license revoked.

For the average investor, I would advise to let the dust settle a bit, maybe even wait until the new year to start putting new money into the market. YMMV.

I have the luxury of managing very large IRA accounts so long-term, short-term gains mean nothing to me. I just have high RMD numbers to hit.

Chuck Todd on NBC still the best at running the numbers. He is a numbers guy and does not make up excuses al la MSNBC – this is johnsons fault and the losers who voted johnson

Congratulations to President Trump!
Just wow! Where are the Anon tweets? Stunned silence.
Anon is grabbing Ottoman’s puss-y tonight.
It’s over David Stockman did the math on Fox Business.
Chuck Todd looking at a tie of 269
He might end up with over 270 but he has 270. He gets one Maine vote, Iowa’s his. It’s over.
Chuck Todd doesn’t know his @ss from a hole in the wall.
I hope FOX fires Megyn Kelly tomorrow and lets her have a contract negotiation with herself.
I strongly disagree. I believe he’s measured both orifices with his fist.
Chuck Todd doesn’t know his @ss from a hole in the wall.
I think CNN will go to a test pattern in about 24 minutes.
Crazy
Pennsylvania getting close now
Stockman did the math not including PA or MI. If Trump wins those he might get get 290.
A less than subtle reminder:

Here’s my very own out there, tinfoil hat theory:
Trump has been leading the entire time.
The polls have been a massive fraud/bluff to try to turn the tables for months as has been the puss-y grabbing follies. Didn’t work. Look at Hillary’s crowds, if no one wants to see her or listen to her (except limo libs for $50K a plate), who the hell is voting for her?
Cue Comey.
Now, with the reopened email investigation, the polls have a reason to move back to reality and the tracks are completely covered if they were fraudulent all along, no? This way those same fraudulent polls can be used as a credible ploy next time too instead of being discredited forever. ABC/CNN/MSNBC/Fox (yes Fox too!) polls would be shown for what they are if they continued to advertise double digit Clinton leads and then Trump wins by 5.
Hah my CNN went dead
PBS reporting that Canada’s immigration website has crashed.
Stockman is a pretty funny guy. You should check out his book Trumped. He had the pulse of the anger Trump was tapping into. Point of the book is Trump has no workable policies to make the country better and suggests what he should do.
I think the biggest loser in all of this is the MSM. Nobody is going to believe they aren’t in the bag for the establishment after this election. Once the steeple stop drinking the Kool-aid things get interesting.
Sheeple rather.
Expanded gambling loses 4-1? People are dumb.
Glad to see mike crape win in Idaho. Never give up on a bad name.
Mike crapo
Wolf Blitzer has changed his pants. He might have donned a diaper as well.
I was wrong regardless what happens, I predicted Hil in a blow out.
If I wake up in the morning and Trump has won, I will accept him as CIC, but with that, I will hold those who voted for him accountable.
3b I am here for the duration.
So it’s Arizona and a rust belt state and it’s over for Hillary.
Re markets even if he doesn’t win there is no way he certifies anything tonight. Still down hard tomorrow
Concedes anything tonight
markets getting killed….guess they think trump is good for business.
Jesus. Just to prove that Fox News was in the tank for Clinton as well, they are holding a pity party right now for themselves.
Trump won a “rigged” election. Now how does one do that?
That’s what makes me sick. He won a lot of support on the rigged election nonsense, and now he is living proof that it’s not rigged at all.
It’ll certainly bad for those who weren’t smart enough to reserve enough cash to invest in a steep downturn (or those who have all their capital tied up in spray pancake batter).
markets getting killed….guess they think trump is good for business.
Rule #1: Don’t tie up your future “investing” in a big house on a busy street.
Rule #2: Read rule one a whole bunch of times until you truly understand Rule #1.
Trump won a “rigged” election. Now how does one do that?
Clinton was smart about one thing. She cancelled the fireworks she ordered on the Hudson that were planned for between 9 & 10PM. Smart girl.
The Javitz center does look impressive. Fireworks would have been a nice touch. Donald ran this low budget. Even hq look Dated and low budget compsred to Hillary
This is seeming to choreographed now.
too
These asswipes are not going to call any more states tonight.
Maybe Trump can make his first deal and take them off her hands at 20 cents on the dollar
Milwaukee and Detroit in process of manufacturing absentee ballots.
CBS dude basically said that….”Detroit had been at 99pc counted for a while but no one knows how many absentee balls there are
Add Philly to the “there are absentee ballots and no one knows how many” power CBS.
She wins the jump ball states and election on urban absentees especially with him winning the popular and this country will melt down
*per* CBS.
Sorry for typos. On phone.
Congrats to everyone that supported the GOP nominee or wanted him to win — it is a big big win, wildly wildly above the expectations!
It is a shock (way more than Brexit) and a humiliating defeat for me. Had a great eight years, so shouldn’t complain when the tide turns bad.
fleabag – did your daughters make money day-trading today?
Expat, this is the best you can do on a day when you got all you wanted? Great for you!
It’s morning in America.
Holyfcukingsh1t
I woke up to continue my “prep” (yesterday, I figured this procedure would be fitting on a day like today), and read that the earth stood still.
I honestly thought Clinton’s firewall would hold, that the machine would not fail her.
I also don’t think this is over. We could be in for 2000 all over again.
It’s over. It’s nothing like 2000. Thank God, the nightmare is over. Eight years of an arrogance, pessimism and division that is over. I don’t know if I’m happier that that f.uck in the White House is finally gone or that the witch is dead.
It looks like I stocked up on guns and ammo for nothing. Darn.
Welcome to the land of the ‘Flee’.
