Something stinks in New Jersey: The strange case of Gov. Murphy's selective drive-through tulip farm shutdown
American Thinker ^ | April 19, 2020 | Monica Showalter

...Maybe even more significantly, land and housing costs are higher in the Cream Ridge area than the Swedeboro area. Real estate listings show that Cream Ridge houses have a median price of around $500,000, more than twice the $200,000 range of the Swedeboro houses. Clearly one is sitting on land that's more plum than the other...Murphy might just be hitting one farm to help a donor with designs on the prime land and an interest in driving the one farm out of business to buy it cheap, or else some other reason explains what's going on...Was it a 'nice farm you have there' issue to ban one and not the other? Was it a matter of killing off one business to provide asset buying opportunities to another? Or was it just plain stupidity?...

You really do have to ask these types of questions when it comes to people like Murphy.

It’s NJ and that matters. No doubt their SC is all rats so Murphy doesn’t have to worry much about getting smacked down. That why he feels safe arresting protesters. In Mi the SC is a still a conservative Majority so Half Whit didn’t have any of the “the racist Confederate flag carriers” arrested.

Maybe Gov. Whitmer should be looked at for the same reasons. Some of her restrictions are so odd.

Searched for more info:

Both tulip farm owners are friends, and Cream Ridge received approval for their drive-thru.

But, then some people started complaining about traffic congestion there:

https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/04/lowering-the-boom-on-this-springs-bloom-at-popular-garden-state-tulip-farm.html

Those complaints might be the real reason the drive-thru was shut down.

Hope the news story will generate enough attention that the farm will be allowed to have a drive-thru soon while the tulips are in bloom.

It is the New Jersey way, and has been decades!

What short memories people have.

During Obama’s reign of terror we had car dealerships and guitar companies, and many other businesses harassed or run out of business due to their political affiliation.

Demonrats really like to exercise total power in a capricious way when they can....there is some political/monetary reason for the different treatment to be sure...why we sheeple put up with abuse of power is puzzling...

I just placed my order for drive-through tulip pick up. Order must be placed one day in advance. I will have an appropriate sign in my car window.

Some interesting observations I’ve made, watching various news *reports* of the day....

Bob Shrum...yes, that creep Bob Shrum who ran the John Fn Kerry campaign and who now heads up a Dem think tank said this...

...the coronavirus has changed the election cycle, it’s changed this whole primary schedule. In fact, we used to campaign with RALLIES and gatherings, that’s all stopped.

Michelle 0bama is considering endorsing Crazy Biden. S/he’s mulling involvement in the Biden campaign to use her LARGE platform to assist the campaign.

Amy Klobachar won’t comment on becoming Crazy Joe’s VP....instead, she....like many other DEMS....is focusing her attention on the coronavirus pandemic and MAIL IN VOTING.

The fix is in, for DNC....at least in their wishful thinking.

They’re dreaming that the virus shut downs continue and force Vote by Mail, as cheating is the ONLY way Dems can win.

They’re giddy that Trump is not holding MAGA rallies.

Their last ditch effort will be to bring Mighty MO the beard of BO in, to save the day, at the DNC convention.

It will be interesting to see everything these cornered rats try, between now and November.
