Poll Finds More New Jersey Residents Unhappy With Their Towns

NJ. com reports that fewer New Jersey residents feel good about their hometowns than at any time in the past three decades, according to a Monmouth University poll released this morning.

While 67 percent rate their home towns as either an excellent or good place to live, that’s down from 73 percent in February — and the lowest since 1980, when it was also 67 percent.

"The feelings of goodwill that permeated the state after Sandy have disappeared, even wiping out positive gains made prior to the storm," pollster Patrick Murray said in a statement. "New Jerseyans are once again looking at the state’s quality of life with a more critical eye."

The hometown feelings mirror a statewide trend. Many residents are looking at their representatives and realizing that they do not have their best interests in mind.

There is a groundswell of dissatisfaction throughout the state. As jobs remain scarce and there is little incentives to help small businesses, the economy has not recovered in our state as it has in others. Real estate has not recovered and foreclosure rates are still high.
Recent high profile corruption cases in the tri state area are sure to spread.

This site was interesting for the first few posts but is getting really boring. It seems lakewood is pretty clean of corruption by the fact that you keep bringing up the same issues. Why don't you open anther store? You obviously need to be kept busy!

Soon he will start making stuff up to enthral his cronies. Oh wait, hes been doing that all along. He may mean well but his approach is so bad i hope he fails in his messianic quest.
