May 2006 Question: I was wondering whether you have a new book: "The Dream of the Decade" by Afshin Rattansi? I'm not sure it is out yet.
January 2006 Question: Request for law materials from Poland. Answer: Thank you for your email request. Unfortunately, our library policy does not permit us to email, send by regular mail or fax to you in Poland the materials you have requested. I suggest that your client living in the USA get in touch with us and we will provide the materials to him for a fee. If he prefers, your client can also review Title 3B, main volume and pocket parts, of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated where detailed information can be found concerning the changes and effective date of an amendment to Title 3B that was made in 2004 as well as language of the law before the amendment. See Laws of 2004, Chapter 132. (Amendments to Title 3B have also been made in 2005.) The current NJ Statutes can also be accessed online at www.njleg.state.nj.us by clicking on Statutes. You can search by keyword, by statutory citation, "3B:3-1" or you can search the entire statutory database through the Table of Contents by Title. At that website, you can also access the Chapter Laws by Year by clicking on Chapter Laws and then the Chapter Law for a particular year, for example, Laws of 2004, Chapter 132. You can see the changes that were effected by reviewing the language of the "Advance Law." October 2005 Question: Who was the Governor of New Jersey in 1991? Answer: James J.

The web site is at: http://oceancountylibrary.org/ January 2005 Roadblock Question: Articles about a military roadblock on Route 80 West on 9/10/01 around the Oranges at noon? Answer: I ran a simultaneous search in all of the New Jersey newspapers in NewsBank to see if any articles appeared at the time, and did not find an article about a military roadblock on Route 80. The following New Jersey newspapers were covered in the search. Asbury Park Press (Neptune, NJ) (1/1/1999-Current) Bayonne Journal, The (NJ) (6/19/2003-Current) Burlington County Times (Willingboro, NJ) (12/11/2002-Current) City Journal (Jersey City, NJ) (3/25/2004-Current) Courier-News (Bridgewater, NJ) (1/1/1999-Current) Courier-Post (Cherry Hill, NJ) (1/1/1999-Current) Daily Journal, The (Vineland, NJ) (8/25/1999-Current) Daily Record (Morristown, NJ) (1/7/2004-Current) Home News Tribune (East Brunswick, NJ) (12/24/2002-Current) Jersey Journal, The (Jersey City, NJ) (6/13/2003-Current) Kearny Journal, The (NJ) (6/19/2003-Current) Ocean County Observer (Toms River, NJ) (12/17/2002-Current) Press of Atlantic City, The (NJ) (1988-Current) Record, The (Hackensack, NJ) (1985-Current) Secaucus Journal (NJ) (3/25/2004-Current) Star-Ledger, The (Newark, NJ) (1996-Current) Waterfront Journal, The (NJ) (6/19/2003-Current) May 2003 Sales and Use Tax - May 20th Question: Why did the New Jersey government take money from the Sales tax and place it in the general fund instead of a fund dedicated to the school funding problem? Answer: Title 54:32B-1 through 54:32B-53 contains the provisions of the NJ Sales and Use Tax Act Article 8 of the NJ Constitution addresses Taxation and Finance. Article 8, Section 4 deals with the maintenance and support of schools. In connection with the issue of financing of schools, reference should be made to a series of court decisions generally known as Abbott v. Burke. In the statutory law, now see the Comprehensive Education and Improvement Financing Act at Title 18A:7F-1 through 18A:7F-36. In the NJ Administrative Code, see NJAC 6A:24-1.1 et seq. Your question would appear to be one of public policy and should be addressed to state representatives. A review of NJ law indicates that the Legislature may indicate how receipts form taxes may be directed. See, for example, Title 5:12-173.13, entitled "Deposit of construction material sales tax revenue into project fund."
