If you get your gas in the Garden State, you're going to have shell out a little extra cash beginning Monday. That's when a 4.3 cent hike in the state's gas tax takes effect, which will make New Jersey the fifth highest gas tax in the country. "We were just getting steady with the gas prices," said New Jersey resident Tyrone Wallace. "Now they needed more money since prices got lower. Now prices are going up. This is the highest gas has been in almost two years." Wallace was one of many drivers KYW Newsradio found filling up Sunday at the Speedway along the Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Camden County. https://kywnewsradio.radio.com/articles/news/nj-gas-tax-hike-takes-effect-many-drivers-think-its-unfair

 

Here are the NJ guidelines:

Pre-Registration: 17-year-olds who will be 18 by the next general election can pre-register to vote. On your 18th birthday, your voter registration application will be fully processed. Same Day Registration: New Jersey does not offer the opportunity to register to vote on Election Day. Automatic Voter Registration: New Jersey does not automatically register eligible citizens to vote when they go to a government agency, like the DMV. If You've Moved: New Jersey requires registrants to live in the state for at least 30 days before registering to vote. Documentation Requirements: When submitting a voter registration application, no additional documents are required for your registration to be processed. The state confirms your citizenship and eligibility through the information provided on your registration form, such as your state-issued license/ID number or the last 4 digits of your SSN. Voting Rights Restoration: In New Jersey, the voting rights of convicted persons are automatically restored upon completion of one's sentence. Returning citizens must re-register to vote after their rights are restored. Interstate Voter Rolls Accuracy & Maintenance: New Jersey does not participate in any coordinated effort with other states to compare voter rolls for maintenance purposes.

The FBI on Monday went public with a warning, urging people to reboot the internet routers in their homes because Russian hackers have targeted hundreds of thousands of the devices. The FBI said malware capable of shutting down web traffic and collecting private information can come through internet routers. But it may only take a minute to make sure a router is safe by unplugging the device and waiting at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in. That simple action will reboot the system and disrupt any malware being sent to the router, according to internet security experts. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/FBI-Urges-Internet-Users-to-Reboot-Home-Routers-483891091.html
