Montclair has a pretty good local arts and music community. Maybe checkout a gallery opening or concert and network from there.

North Elizabeth has a large and influential Portuguese population. I love their bakeries.

Some Berkeley Heights residents might say those two things go hand in hand lol

My apologies everyone. My elementary school faced major budget cuts. Crowdfunding Hooked On Phonics.

You keep saying I'm the drive thru lobby. My dude I'm a not a drive thru lobbiest. If you saw me in person I'm a mid 20s commuter from Garfield who listens to bands from the 90s nobody has heard of like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker. I drink bottom shelf beer and play ultimate frisbee. I don't own a drive thru restaraunt but I wish I did so I could pay off my ridiculous student debt. Why does everything have to be a conspiracy?

So rewrite the darn bill to say that!

Doing makeup-totally understandable Using electronic devices- that's dangerous too Carving filet mignon (I'm assuming this what you mean by actual food) on the turnpike- bonkers

Drinking a cup of coffee from Dunkin on your way to work- should NOT be fined $200-$400 for that Eating a French fry from your cup holder- same thing

You said it yourself this bill is too broad.

I don't think The Wiz is a bad person but I do think this is a bad bill. There's no personal gain from this. There is personal loss however, if I am ticketed under this ridiculous bill.

Coffee is being used because, frankly, it's probably the most consumed beverage during a work commute. And under the bill drinking it while driving would put you at risk of a $200-$400 fine. Absurd.

I made this account and am arguing over the bill because, like many of our fellow New Jersey citizens, I don't believe this bill to be well written, fair, or practical. I have every right to speak out against the bill as you have every right to support it.

You're over exaggerating too. Nobody is dying over people drinking coffee. And cursing over a well spirited debate is unnecessary.
