In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.

In keeping with past tradition, too, it promises to stir plenty of dismay, outrage, hurt feelings, and public tantrums at the annual League of Municipalities. We welcome it all in the spirit of more finely honing this conglomerate in progress and in the name, of course, of defending what we have wrought out of the political collisions of this most interesting year.

The Request for Proposals was for a contract to design, build, operate and maintain an E-ZPass system. Bidders were encouraged to make suggestions about how the project could be financed. Despite warnings that the project was not likely to be self-financing and that the revenue streams were speculative and risky, the Consortium proceeded with a plan to pay for the project with revenues generated from toll violation fees and fiber-optic cable leases. Under the contract awarded to MFS Network Technologies, the Consortium would pay "$0 down and $0 payments" for eight years.
