Still waiting on smart-roads. At least fill the potholes! What about NJ state government highway rain runoff? Tax yourself, NJ state government! Whatever you do, don't put the blame on you, just blame it on the rain, yeah yeah!

Republicans and business groups blasted the measure, saying it provides another way for governments to collect revenues from an already overtaxed private sector. "
