Governor Murphy.

May I suggest that your fracking ban in my beloved New Jersey – Bayonne born and raised – will have no effect because there ain’t no wells to frack. May I suggest that in the alternative you ban some of the effects of fracking?

#1 – One business day a month, a day chosen at random, no government building can use electricity.
#2 – One business day a month, not the same day as #1, no government vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine will be allowed to operate.
#3 – One business day in the month of August and one in the month of January no office building owned or leased by New Jersey will have either an air conditioner or a heater running. To sate the obvious, August for the A/C and January for the heater.
#4 - Ban all government facilities from using anything with plastic.
#5 – Other than “ohmadahn” maybe you can find a word used by Irish-Catholics as a synonym for “putz”.
#6 – Maybe it’s time to test the water at Goldman Sachs. You seem to be determined to out do Corzine. I shan’t fall into the convenient modern American liberal trap of constructing universals from particulars but “such stupidity is not to be found in nature”, right?
#7 – Beginning some 40 years ago I was fascinated with the concept of sanctuary and its evil twin nullification. 500 years from medieval sanctuary – remember Quasimodo with Esmeralda? – to John Calhoun, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. As one Jersey guy to another, I make this knowledge available to you on a pro bono basis. I don’t want to see you make a complete horse’s ass of yourself.

#8 – Ban Taylor Ham and all pork roll products. Talk about genetically modified foods! After all, it’s for the children. They are our future, aren’t they?
#9 – When is the ban on all petrochemical complexes in Jersey coming? It is, isn’t it?
