Yes, due to home rule, we can make a difference locally, although few people get involved.
Regarding the Commerce Bank millionaire, George Norcross and family, it's very distubing that this guy seems to have many laymwkers in his pocket. And, regarding the corruption, it's on both sides. Look at the highest ranking Republican in the state, Bennett. (He's also a big pro-abortion guy) He's been playing the game for years; hiring his relatives, overbilling municipalities for legal work, subcontracting municipal legal work and pocketing the difference, failing to report his income from municipal deals, etc. In New Jersey, corruption is an equal opportunity game, it seems.
