"Imagine a schoolteacher had been charged with criminal sexual contact and later admitted he twice fondled the genitals of a young student under his care. Imagine his employer, the local school board, had been notified of his behavior but, instead of stripping him of his teaching post and firing him, simply reassigned him to a different location, where the teacher would still be able to have contact with students. All of us, of course, would be outraged and sickened.
"We would also expect this teacher would go to prison and that those who allowed him to continue having contact with children would be fired from their jobs. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? But that’s not what happened in the case of the Rev. Michael Fugee and his employer, the Archdiocese of Newark."

"Kenneth Armwood was sworn in as a member of the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders during the board’s regular meeting on March 21.
"The longtime Piscataway Township Council member filled the vacancy left by Christopher D. Rafano, who resigned earlier this month after being appointed as a New Jersey Superior Court judge. Rafano, of South River, had served as a freeholder since 1998 and was the board’s director from 2010 until his resignation.
"Armwood will fill the remaining nine months of Rafano’s term. He is expected to seek a three-year term in the general election in November."

"Members of New Jersey Public Interest Research Group protested yesterday to end global warming outside Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus and spread awareness of environmental issues relating to climate change.
"More than 12 percent of students at the University signed petitions to call on President Barack Obama to take action on global warming, said Christi Capazzo, co-coordinator of NJPIRG’s Stop Global Warming campaign.

Stop stalling on N.J. wind energy |

 A few months ago, Hurricane Sandy delivered a devastating blow and a nasty warning about the storms and flooding to come if climate change proceeds unchecked. If there is a silver lining, it is that New Jersey, which suffered more than any other state from the storm, is also positioned to benefit the most from the development of offshore wind energy, a technology that will help fight climate change.
In 2010, in a bipartisan vote, New Jersey passed the Offshore Wind Economic Development Act, part of an ambitious plan to make the Garden State the center of the U.S. offshore wind industry. However, 2½ years later, little progress has been made toward getting wind turbines up and spinning off our coast.
