government

Wooops. The government may have messed up. Did you get a stimulus check that you weren't qualified for? Well word on the street is that you may have to pay it back.

Anyone who is a candidate interested in a school board position had until Monday July 30 to file their nominating petitions at the Ocean County Clerks Office.

Well it seems I'm not the only one feeling confused and conflicted about politics these days. As the country gets ready to inaugurate a new president tomorrow, what have you noticed at your favorite Ocean County diner?  Or on your Facebook feed...

The government shutdown is in full effect in Washington, however some of its effects can be felt in Ocean County as well.

Government operatives, CIA connections, martial law. Those are just some of the theories that are being passed around in the aftermath of the terrible Boston Marathon bombings.

Once a quiet stretch of rural state highway between Routes 34 and 35, Route 66 in Neptune these days extends the Route 33 commercial district eastward with big-box stores, auto dealerships and an outlet mall. Now, everyone who crowds into those parking lots can also get Monmouth County government services as well.

We've all been annoyed by telemarketers before, in fact it's a topic that I've touched on right on these pages in the past. It's gotten so bad that the government is offering up $50,000 if someone can come up with a viable solution.
