@wordshaper It's a weird moment in NJ. Progressives won elimination of the "county line" in primary ballots (the design gave county political parties incredible power over who wins primaries), and Senator Menendez is being tried for being corrupt, but at the same time, he was so corrupt because that's NJ, and at the same time the legislature is consolidating power by being more secretive. So, despite progress, our corrupt reputation is getting a LOT of air time right now.
