A modest proposal

Article Abstract:

Governor Jon Corzine of New Jersey is close to announcing a plan to finance the bankrupt Transportation Trust Fund, by which the alternative to the gas tax is a gas attendant tax, requiring the men and women who pump gas to pay a $1 surcharge to the Transportation Trust Fund for every hour they work. A taxpayers'-rights group is planning a protest march, outraged that taxpaying citizens continue to be marginalized.

Goal oriented

Article Abstract:

The Wings of Steel ice hockey team in South Jersey consists of handicapped players, who have an amazing outlook on life and who are happy that they can do what an able-bodied person can do. Training the youngsters, who otherwise cannot play, and giving them the life experience of having friends and teammates and a sense of self-belief is invaluable.
