Many of the operatives around the governor have hopeful for the Democrats who this year demonstrated a flexing of made their mark and moved on as New Jersey careens toward the power when he overrode the governor’s veto on a much-debated 2017 gubernatorial contest.

Michael Aron Chief Political Correspondent, NJTV News The Statehouse Press Corps brings to mind the image of two dozen cats in various postures of agony as they dig in their nails to a peaked roof while sliding in vain to certain doom. Amid such unrest, the one constant is the dean of the New Jersey Press Corps, Aron, who stays – through cancer, bypass surgery and anything else thrown at him - at the apex of his trade: the face of New Jersey public television for over three decades. The most institutionally knowledgeable political reporter in the state, Aron stays great because he works hard at his craft every day. He’s the guy at the Statehouse most likely to get down on all fours to get the best camera angle on a breaking story. Part of his effectiveness stems from his innate sense of fairness. Aron has the ability to build sources on all sides of an issue and maintain emotional distance from his subjects. He’s the best we’ve got.

Leroy Jones Essex County Democratic Party Chairman Consider this: If Sweeney has South Jersey on lockdown, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop – arguably - has Hudson, Bergen and Passaic in his corner, and Union and Middlesex counties are jump ball territory in the 2017 gubernatorial sweepstakes, the mighty Essex will essentially hand the governorship – or at least the Democratic nomination - to whomever it awards the line.

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.

As always, the list does not include elected ofcials, judges or past governors. 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.
