One of our loyal readers, rightly outraged by this morning’s article, Gov Christie Ally & New RNC Member Palatucci’s Company Accused of Manslaughter, kindly forwarded us a list of Federal Court Cases naming Community Education Centers as a party to civil action.

Caleb Jensen, RIP

NJ Dem Leader Assm Wisniewski Calls Lonegan’s Group the Christie Right Wing Attack Dog

Sounds like John Wisniewski would have supported calling the SWAT team in on Lonegan’s American for Prosperity rally outside of Senate President Steven Sweeney’s West Deptford office. He has just been sending around emails referring to Americans for Prosperity as Governor Chris Christie’s right wing attack dogs. What a hoot! Funny too that Johnny boy …
