NJ is at the bottom of the list when it comes to getting back the tax money we pay to Washington. Our money winds up going to other states because the squeaky wheel gets the oil - the other states squeak more.

Yes I listened to him.
1) The feds are shutdown so I imagine come November there are going to be "other" priorities than meeting with him every week.
2)What he didn't say is that he understood what "going out of compliance" means ( granted he wasn't asked) and that he would have to have direct talks with Howard Lutnick Sec of Commerce rather than NJ Senators and / or congressmen in DC. We have heard that song before about "talking" with the feds on behalf on NJ but that doesn't come close to talking with ASMFC and Sec of Commerce on "out of compliance" .
But I will give him a chance to honor his try IF he wins.
2) The fed already took away infrastructure money from NJ and NY so yet another priority to work on before we get a bone.
3) What other states get NJ money? While NJ doesn't get dollar to dollar tax fishing money back not sure what you mean by other states getting ours?
