This week’s Real Jersey Guys On The Radio Show will be different.
My partner former Senator Dick LaRossa has called in sick.
My young friend, Save Jersey founder Matt Rooney, has stepped up from being a guest to being the co-host.
After taking a year off from politics to work in the judicial branch of New Jersey government, Matt is back in the private sector practicing law and political punditry. I’m glad he’s back.
Blue Jersey blogger Jay Lassiter will be calling in at about 5:15. This will be a first for the show, being joined by a liberal Democrat, but it will be Real Jersey Radio.
You will want to hear it. You will want to call in. We’ll be taking your calls at 609-447-0236.
The show is broadcast from 5PM-6PM on WIFI AM 1460 and here on the Internet.
The show is sponsored by Repatriot Radio.

Remember those?
Recently the Star-Ledger had a story about a study released by two left-leaning think tanks New Jersey Policy Perspective and Demos. This study is a last-ditch effort by left wing groups to stop S. 2664 and calls the bill radical. The study was written by failed New York politician and Working Families Party (ACORN’s political arm in New York) attorney Richard Brodsky. It is the companion bill to A.3766, which passed 66-7. 66-7 doesn’t sound to radical for us New Jerseyeans, but then again we aren’t from New York. It is worth pointing out that this is all part of a campaign seemingly led by two special interest groups – New Jersey Citizen Action and AARP, according to the Daily Record.
Now we have two issues with this study. The first one is substantive. Deregulation is often a good idea, and certainly, there are too many regulations in New Jersey already. That’s part of why we elected Chris Christie. And if AARP and other liberal think tanks can bring in out-of-state failed politicians to write studies about it, let us look at a study from professors at Ball State University who pointed out that deregulation was a success in Indiana.
