"There is no other website out there with more influence in Central NJ. " ~ Adam Geller, CEO, National Research
" I read your blog all the time." ~ Chris Christie (April 6, 2009 while a candidate for Governor)
"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos
" dung droppings" ~ commenter on Frank Pallone's facebook page.
"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~ Scott Sipprelle, future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman
"The most influential conservative in Central Jersey and Dean of the N.J. Conservative Blogging Caucus. First site I check every day... after my own!" ~ Matt Rooney, SaveJersey.com
"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.

Interesting, Lonegan says big government leads to corruption, while Christie takes the Corzine approach of blaming our problems on home rule and multiple municipalities...Christie just lost me a little more.
Christie has now spoken publicly on two issues, immigration and the size of government, and frankly, has blown both of them.
This is going to get very interesting...
You lost me on this one Mayor.
I assume you're referring to this article:
http://www.philly.com/inquirer/local/nj/20081210_Christie__N_J__has__too_much_government_.html
But I don't see where he blames it specifically on home rule/multiple municipalities.
He say's that there's too much government spending, but I don't think he's targeting municipalities.
From the article:
He said that with more than 600 school districts and more than 500 municipalities splitting up billions in tax dollars, "it's hard to find hardworking, honest people to oversee all these pots of money."
The state has "too much government spending too much money out there and it tempts people," he said.
I'm not really sure he's targeting municipalties there, just stating the fact that there's alot of them along with school districts.
Of course, it could be perceived differently.
The part where he says that NJ has to decide on either ending corruption or on keeping all its municipalities is where he got me.
From the article:
"At some point, he said, New Jerseyans will have to decide whether stopping corruption is more important than the many layers of government in the state."
One could take that quote in many ways too.
But are you saying there aren't too many layers of gov. in NJ?
Even Lonegan says corruption is a product of big government in NJ, so what's the difference between the two statements.
If anything, the comment needs a little clarification, which I'm sure will happen sooner or later.
The difference is that Lonegan correctly points out that the corruption is at the state level, in the Abbott Districts and in the bigger towns. Christie thinks the corruption problem is caused because we have small towns and neighborhood schools.
Christie and Corzine's "solution" will only make the situation worse.
