I am always sensitive to New Jersey's reputation. I think we get a bad rap all the time, and while I was doing a little research, I found one survey that certainly doesn't help us improve our reputation.

New Jersey has been getting a lot of publicity lately, much of it bad. What else is new?

I have recently written about how we here in New Jersey get an undeserved  reputation for rudeness from out- of- staters, comedians and TV shows.

When there are neighbors, children, first responders, or anyone else in need of help, Monmouth and Ocean counties, and all of New Jersey for that matter, always comes through. We reach into our pockets, even when there's not a lot in them to do what we can. We're good neighbors, good friends and good people! So when is Hollywood going to get it? Hey Holly
