Jackson seems to attract alot of Staten Island types who are usually pro-statist as long as it benefits “the right people” (ie THEM). I still find it incredible how you (and two of my uncles) live in a township where it seems to take an entire day just to drive from one end to the other, and where the roads seem more like indian trails than thoroughfares.
Jackson isn't really a commutable distance to New York unless you work unusual hours like a fireman or something.
