The Democratic 9th Congressional district crossed swords in a debate at Bergen Community College.
Toward the end of his debate with fellow Congressman and Democrat Steve Rothman, Bill Pascrell was asked to say something nice about his opponent in the race for New Jersey's 9th Congressional District. "I think he has been a loyal Democrat," Pascrell said. "When it suits his purpose." That's about as cordial as it got in a debate Monday at Bergen Community College, in which Rothman doggedly attacked Pascrell's record, while Pascrell continued to criticize Rothman for running against him instead of challenging Scott Garrett in the redrawn 5th District. Pascrell's current district includes the Essex County communities of Bloomfield, Belleville, Cedar Grove, Verona, part of South Orange, Livingston, Montclair and West Orange. Rothman came to…

With the election over, lawn signs can be recycled.
With the votes tallied and the results final from Tuesday’s elections, one big question still remains. What do we do with all these lawn signs? Most campaigns give supporters big lawn signs to show support for their preferred candidate. Some elections can have thousands upon thousands of lawn signs posted. After the election, most supporters are stuck having to dispose of these signs. Now the simple answer would be to throw them away. However, most lawn signs are made of corrugated polypropylene plastic, which is recyclable. Corrugated polypropylene plastic is the same material used for plastic milk containers and detergent bottles.
