Suit may target homeland funds Lawmakers say GOP municipalities have been slighted Published in the Asbury Park Press 09/22/05 BY KEITH BROWN COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU ASBURY PARK — Assemblymen Sean T. Kean and Steve Corodemus, both R-Monmouth, are upset that the state awards homeland security grants almost exclusively to municipalities in legislative districts represented by Democrats. And they're trying to change that. Flanked at City Hall Wednesday by about 30 emergency responders and local politicians from the city and other 11th Legislative District towns, they said they support a fund-raising drive to file a lawsuit aimed at blocking the disbursing...

Two GOP legislators make push to challenge special state grants Thursday, September 22, 2005 BY RICK HEPP Star-Ledger Staff Two Assembly Republicans yesterday announced an effort to mount a legal challenge against New Jersey officials they contend use politics as the only reason to award special state grants.

Inept, see-no-evil Harvey should go Column by Charles Webster Assemblyman Sean Kean is daring to go where no other lawmaker has had the guts to go before - he’s drawing up articles of impeachment for our esteemed Attorney General Peter "See No Evil" Harvey.

New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey is the embodiment of a new reality, in which homosexuality is the last refuge of scoundrels. New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey has managed to snatch martyrdom from the jaws of damnation. He would have the public believe that he didn't resign his governorship on August 12 because of the scandals that sprouted from his administration like crabgrass, but because he was the victim of a homophobic society. Since August 12, the socialist, mainstream media have worked their butts off, painting sympathetic portraits of McGreevey, who in spite of having resigned, refuses to leave office. McGreevey...

While the socialist, mainstream media have worked their butts off, painting sympathetic portraits of "gay" New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who sort of resigned on August 12, but who refuses to leave office, some hard-heads have insisted on committing journalism. McGreevey, the man who campaigned that he would "change the way things are done in Trenton," has proved to be as corrupt a chief executive as any in the history of a state that my colleague from New Jersey, Alan Caruba, has argued is the most crooked in the country.
