Tracey Tully @traceytully.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Whoa. A new approach by NJ’s convicted former senator, as the president makes a flurry of pardons. Menendez has about 2 weeks before he’s expected to start an 11-yr sentence, barring a stay from the 2nd Circuit. 152

Tracey Tully @traceytully.bsky.social · 09/05/2025NJ voters are largely unaware that there’s a primary for governor next month (June 10) according to a Rutgers survey. This - in spite of the 9 well-funded candidates, including many already spending heavily on TV, etc. 1/3 397

Tracey Tully @traceytully.bsky.social · 16/01/2025From Oct. 2023 thru Nov. 2024, NJ has paid Randy Mastro and his NYC law firm $1.1 million to fight congestion pricing, according to data obtained through a record request. This likely does not include the 6-hour court hearing 2 weeks ago or the pending appeal. $250/hour is reduced rate, docs note. 011

Tracey Tully @traceytully.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Bob Menendez has asked that his Jan. 29 sentencing be postponed so that he can be there to support his wife, Nadine, during her trial (set to start a week beforehand) and so that media coverage of the sentencing doesn’t bias jurors who will weigh the evidence against Ms. Menendez. 010
Tracey Tully @traceytully.bsky.social · 24/12/2024The back of a holiday card from Curtis Bashaw is a good illustration of what it takes to run for statewide office in NJ. For example - $4,325.73 in EZPass tolls! 111
