Our guest this week is former Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno.

Fulfill is located on Rote 66 in Neptune NJ. They are currently in need of turkeys and supplies for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday.

HUNDREDS OF NEW HOMES IN NJ WERE BUILT WITH TOXIC CHEMICAL A major lumber supplier made a bad batch of floor joists late last year, causing them to emit formaldehyde, a known carcinogen that can cause acute health problems. NJ.com says the production mistake wasn't disclosed for months, leading to the construction of hundreds of homes across the state and country that were built with the toxic timber. NJ LAWMAKERS SEEK TO BAN NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT A bipartisan group of lawmakers in New Jersey are working on legislation that would ban nondisclosure agreements designed to cover up sexual harassment and assault.

Similar legislation is being considered in New York. KIM GUADAGNO PROPOSES BAN ON SANCTUARY CITIES IN NJ Republican candidate for governor Kim Guadagno has proposed banning sanctuary cities in New Jersey if she is elected.

YOUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR WILL DETERMINE THAT When you go to the polls in November, you won't just be choosing Chris Christie's successor – your choice will determine whether or not recreational marijuana will be legalized in New Jersey. NJ.com says electing Phil Murphy means New Jersey will join eight other states in legalizing marijuana for people 21 and older. Meanwhile, electing Kim Guadagno means you still won't be able to legally smoke marijuana. WILL CLIMATE CHANGE REVIVE AN OLD IDEA: A REGIONAL COASTAL COMMISSION? The idea of forming a coastal commission was once again floated yesterday at a wide-ranging conference on the Shore of the Future in Trenton. NJ Spotlight says the idea was shunned more than three decades ago, but climate change could lead the state to accept that the issues posed by a changing climate far outstrip the ability of local communities to deal with the crisis on their own. AS NJEA CONTINUES FIGHT WITH SWEENEY, AFT GIVES ENDORSEMENT The American Federation of Teachers has endorsed incumbent Senate president Steve Sweeney's reelection, despite his ongoing feud with the New Jersey Education Association.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s message was about tolerance and inclusion for all. But for radical activists at Dartmouth College, MLK Day is “a tool of the far-right imperialists to appease people.” and it should be a day of protest. Obama says he backs limited marijuana legalization because it could help reduce the number of African American and Hispanic men who are jailed for drug offenses. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is using the memory of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to encourage Americans to sign up for the troubled Obamacare system. In a videotaped "press conference" which was almost certainly given under duress, American Kenneth Bae "confessed" to committing crimes against North Korea and appealed to the U.S. to help free him. New Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno is denying allegations that she used her position to withhold millions of dollars in Superstorm Sandy aid to Hoboken after that city's mayor refused to sign off on a politically connected commercial development. And, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo believes that pro-life activists, along with anti-gay activists and supporters of the Second Amendment, are not welcome in his state. http://tappintothetruth.com/
