New Jersey law allows contributors who donate less than $300 to remain anonymous.
A published report Sunday revealed New Jersey’s current campaign donation system needs to be revised after it was disclosed politicians can receive more money while still keeping the names of their donors secret — as long as the contributions are less than $300. The NJ.com report said most states allow campaigns to keep only those donors who give $100, $50 or less private, but Garden State politicians don’t have to report any information about people who contribute less than $300.

Goodwill asks all its customers and donors to assist with donations for the stores. The closest store to Livingston is located on Route 22.

Hey Kramit, there are many of us Bush followers around, and proud of it, we had it better than we do now with O'vomit and we paid $ 1.87 for gas when George left office. The price of gas has doubled under this idiot, and he refuses to do anything about it.
