So this may not be in the right place. Mods move if so.

The article is albeit AVB long but good read.

If you think our gas tax is going to roads and bridges, cough, you crazy.

 

 

These are our " representatives " time to reel in the reigns.

Another tax and spend Dems routine.  Repubs rejected it at first, be then relented.  Oh, remember Corzine was the first to raid this piggy bank.  Wanna bet we see an increase in this tax in the near future?   There is no accountability in any part of politics in this state, period.  This state will declare bankruptcy before Komifornia.  All state run by dems on the coasts are broke. 

How do you fix blatant corruption with our state government? Sue?

I went to 911 /dispatch center last night.

 

I would not want that job. Think about the fact it's people on the other end of that line.

Interesting read. A few parts are misleading like the statement that "the system has changed little in the past 40 years".

I have started working in EMS dispatch part-time. Being in EMS for over 22 years; being on the radio is different.

All call centers use an ANI/ALI screen. (Automatic Number Identification/Automatic Location Identification). This ANI/ALI system is antequated. It tells the number of the caller and the location.

When someone calls from a large business which has multiple extensions the main business address comes up and the identified number is the main business number. Example: someone calls from a casino/hotel. I get the name of the casino but not a room number or extension.

The locator for cell phones has 2 phases; first is a general area then more precise GPS coordinates come up.

The case with the old guy who got shot started with a 9-1-1 hang up which gave a broad area. Some confusion followed and the police were sent to the wrong house. The home owner saw 2 people with flash lights in his yard and did not know they were police.

Two things happen when the state implements a new tax or fee. The first is the grandstanding down in Trenton when the politicians tell us how new revenue will be the fix-all for whatever the crisis of the day is... The second part is the abuse and waste will continue. Rest assured the politicians already have their cronies lined up in advanced to siphon funds off the top before any other spending protocols go into effect. Remember the Route 35 boondoggle,  the politicians did another wonderful job there managing the Taxpayer’s money. 

Well this keeps getting better.

Now they need more money to do what they were supposed to do. Where did that $1.3 BILLION go?

We're going to have to look the voters in the eye and say we're going to have to find a revenue source or cut funds allocated elsewhere to make up for money that's been misallocated.

Such BS. There was revenue allocated to this and the government stole it. It's the TTF approach redux.

Ya, we can't do the 3/8 a penny sales tax cut now. But you guys understand. Our 911 system is on the verge of collapse.......

 

Such horse $#!? !!!!!!!

Lack of accountability.

"But they conceded that finding the money will be tricky."

 

It wouldn't be if they stopped stealing it.     How soon can we get this as a public question on the ballot?
