1. Trying to hurt Dems on his way out....

"Patrick Murray, who leads the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said the lame-duck leader’s comments were just doing a “song and dance” number."

By and large, the NJ beaches are municipal.

3. Let Me Amend That To Say State Beaches

State parks and beaches

All state-run parks, recreational areas, forests, camping areas, historic sites, and beaches are now closed. That includes the two state beaches — Cheesequake and Island Beach — and Liberty State Park in Jersey City. Here is a full list of which parks are shuttered.

The closings come just in time for the July 4 holiday weekend. And if the shutdown lasts through Tuesday, it will include Independence Day itself.

Christie's office said all events within the parks and sites will be canceled. But Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said a major July 4 celebration scheduled for Liberty State Park featuring a concert by Kool & The Gang would be held at another location if the shutdown stretches on.

People who were camping overnight will be asked to leave Saturday morning by park police.
Municipal parks and beaches will remain open. And the shutdown would also not affect most local July 4 fireworks displays.

5. You can tell the mob influenced Republicans by their

complete disregard of anyone they're governing. Approval rating? Doesn't need 'em.

The article was clear as mud. What was the pretext for closing the beaches?
