The New Jersey food scene has a little bit of everything, including popular neighborhood restaurants.

What is the restaurant you just keep finding yourself coming back to? The one where you know the owner and don't need the menu to order. A place where you have spent an inordinate amount of time, enjoying a favorite dish.

We all have one of those places.

In their quest to find people's favorite neighborhood restaurant, Bon Appetit reached out to "their favorite people," writers, actors, athletes, chefs and other successful people to find out just what their neighborhood go-to spots throughout the country are.

And because of its culinary diversity, it is no surprise that four of the 80 people Bon Appetit surveyed from the story selected New Jersey restaurants, ranging from a classic eatery down the Shore to an Indian spot in Middlesex County.

Liberty Hall Pizza, Lambertville 

Zac Posen, a fashion designer, selected the Hunterdon County pizzeria as a staple restaurant in his life. Posen, whose family lives in Bucks County, said that when they want to escape the farm and eat out, Liberty Hall Pizza is a top choice.

"There's a nice, happy simplicity to it: wood-fired pies in a small, colorful, welcoming place. I always order a margherita or something more creative, like a Meyer lemon-basil pizza with smoked mozzarella, then the roasted beet salad with gorgonzola, and a root beer float to finish," he told the magazine.

Petite Soo Chow, Cliffside Park

Just because a restaurant is a neighborhood go-to doesn't mean it is perfect. The wacky atmosphere could be what makes it stick out. And the description from Deuki Hong, a renowned Korean barbecue chef who runs Sunday Bird in San Francisco, just shows that food should always rule the experience.

"The only places I like to eat at are the Asian-mom-yelling-at-you-horrible-service-but-you-don't-care-cause-it's-so-damn-delicious kind of restaurants. And my go-to place for the best food (with the worst service) is Petite Soo Chow in Cliffside Park, New Jersey," Hong said.

"Get the salt-and-pepper pork chop and soup dumplings. They have legit removed my food before I was done because the staff wanted to go home, and they asked my friend for more of a tip once, but yeah, it's awesome."

Swagath Gourmet, Edison

Edison is an enclave of Indian food, and Mayukh Sen, a food writer and a 2018 James Beard winner, singled out Swagath Gourmet as his favorite of the plethora of options.

"Singling out a favorite Indian restaurant among the dizzying array of them in my hometown is to succumb to the irrationalism of my silly heart," Sen told Bon Appetit. "For the better part of two decades, my heart has led me here.

Tony's Baltimore Grill, Atlantic City

Sometimes a go-to spot can be the place of happy memories from childhood. For Emily Schultz, an associate social media manager for Bon Appetit, that is exactly why she selected Tony's Baltimore Grill, an old-school, no-frills Shore dining spot, as her favorite neighborhood restaurant.

"Since I was 10, I've spent my summers eating pizza, spaghetti & meatballs, and antipasto," she said. "I'm glad Tony's has never changed."

What is your favorite neighborhood restaurant?

Matthew Bailly, a retired officer, started telling the State Trooper about how he helped deliver a baby 27 years ago as a rookie cop.

A New Jersey State Trooper stops hundreds of cars yearly. But what are the chances that you'll pull over the guy who helped give you life? Well, it happened to a trooper a few days ago.

On Friday, Trooper Michael Patterson pulled over Matthew Bailly in Kingwood Township for tinted windows.

They started talking and Bailly said he was a retired Piscataway police officer. Patterson, a Piscataway native, told the retired cop he was from the same town.

Interest piqued, Bailly asked the trooper where he grew up. Poe Place, Patterson said.

That was a familiar street to the longtime cop. When he was a rookie, he got called to a house on that street 27 years ago and helped to deliver a baby.

 After Bailly told his story, Patterson reintroduced himself. "My name is Michael Patterson, sir," he told him. "Thank you for delivering me."

In Oct. 5, 1991, Patterson's mother Karen had rushed home from shopping and found that she was in labor. Her husband, Bobby, took her into the house and called police and their doctor.

Bailly was the officer who responded, and the Patterson's doctor talked Bailly through the delivery. 

After that revelation about their connection, Patterson delivered Bailly a first-class handshake instead of a summons.

And later, Trooper Patterson and his mom visited Bailly and his wife to revisit a key moment in the law enforcement officers lives.

What folks wore in the Garden State.

The NPD Group, an American market research company, notes that "No other industry changes as rapidly as fashion. What's hot today is blase tomorrow. Innovation becomes retro. Seasons change. Hemlines rise and fall ... and so do sales figures. A celebrity makes a fashion statement on the red carpet and suddenly financial statements are covered in red."

I might add that it's not only celebrities on the red carpet who make fashion statements. Politicians, musicians and athletes heavily influence what the rest of us choose to wear. And, there is a uniquely 21^st century movement that allows others to influence styles and make fashion trends almost instantaneous: social media and the internet.

AdWeek points out "If you see a blogger wearing an outfit you love on Instagram, you can find and purchase the items right from your phone and have them delivered to your door thanks to shoppable applications that integrate with social media, like rewardStyle, ShopStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it."

In this gallery, we look at apparel from the past, as worn by folks in New Jersey. Some people in the gallery don statement pieces, others wear that which was strictly utilitarian; all make for interesting viewing.

A bipartisan bill making its way through the New Jersey Legislature would mandate that the boards now known as the boards of chosen freeholders be replaced with a name more easily identified with its function: board of county commissioner.

It's time to give freeholders the boot.

Not the individuals, of course, the men and women we elect to keep New Jersey's counties functioning. We're talking about the title, a hold-over many centuries past its shelf life whose meaning is offensive at worst, obscure at best.

A bipartisan bill making its way through the state Legislature would mandate that the boards now known as the boards of chosen freeholders be replaced with a name more easily identified with its function: board of county commissioner.

The original term harks back to the state's first Constitution, drafted in 1776, which declared that a county representative must be worth "fifty pounds proclamation money, clear estate in the same and have resided in the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election."

Historians note that "freeholders" were defined as white males who owned land and were free of debt; "clear estate" means owning a property outright.

Will the term 'freeholder' have a future in New Jersey?

Like Bruce Springsteen, the Jersey Shore and traffic jug handles, the term is unique to the Garden State.

Today's freeholders oversee their county's budgets, making decisions on jails, roads, social services, parks and other matters. In addition, they manage the county's prosecutor's office and its health department.

It's an important job, yet we're certain not one in 10 Garden State resident could accurately pinpoint what a freeholder is, or what he or she does.

And that's why the measure co-sponsored by state senators Joe Pennacchio (R-Morris County), Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May County) and Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth) makes abundant sense.

The mandatory changes the lawmakers are promoting would do away with an arcane title most associated with male property-holders at a time when many women (and mortgage-holders) are exercising their voices on the county level.

Calling their elected officials "county commissioners" would also make it clearer to the electorate what role these women and men play, and what qualifications voters should be looking for in a candidate.

Not everybody is on board with the name change. The Southern New Jersey Freeholders' Association and the New Jersey Association of Counties have gone on record opposing it, noting the expense of changing stationery, signage and ballots.

Additionally, several freeholders have expressed dismay at what they see as pandering to political correctness -- or wasting lawmakers' time on nonsense.

But as the need for transparency in local government grows, making this relatively minor change would have a major impact on residents' civic savvy.

Names matter. As Pennacchio says, re-dubbing freeholders county commissioners would "bring county government into the 21st Century."

A look at the matchups for the state championships

Hunterdon Central Regional High School held its prom at the Skylands in Randolph on June 8, 2018.

Hunterdon Central Regional High School held its prom at the Skylands in Randolph on Friday.

NJ.com was there to capture images of some of the students as they arrived for the celebration.

Check back at nj.com/hunterdon for other local high school prom coverage. And be sure to check out our complete prom coverage at nj.com/prom.

Huge decreases in students kindergarten through 2nd grade could spell trouble ahead for some N.J. school districts, especially those in rural areas.

The final, which will be played on Sunday, July 15 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, will be the last of 64 matches.

This Thursday, the 2018 FIFA World Cup will get underway, with host Russia taking on Saudi Arabia (11 a.m. FOX and Fubo.tv) to kick off Group A action.

The final, which will be played on Sunday, July 15 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, will be the last of 64 matches, and will see a new champion crowned.

Mario Gotze scored the winner in the 113th minute, to lead Germany to a 1-0 win over Argentina in the 2014 World Cup Final. It was the second straight final to be decided 1-0 in extra time (2010 Spain 1-0 over Netherlands), and the third final in a row that was not decided in regulation (2006 Italy defeated France on penalties).

Can Germany become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to repeat, or the first since Brazil in 2002 to return to a final? Who are the top players to watch in each group, and who will be the rising young stars that showcase themselves?

All will be answered over the next month, as the greatest tournament in the world plays out across 12 venues in 11 Russian cities.

Egypt (FIFA rank 46)

Russia (FIFA rank 66)

Saudi Arabia (FIFA rank 67)

Group Favorite: Uruguay- While the Russian team is at home, Uruguay is the clear favorite to advance as group winner. If Egypt's Mohamed Salah is healthy, Egypt and Russia could battle for the second place spot.

Best Player: Mohamed Salah, Egypt- The Liverpool forward had 43 goals this season, but was injured in the UEFA Champions League Final, won by Real Madrid 3-1. If he is healthy, there is no one better in the group.

Top Young Player: Aleksandr Golovin, MF, Russia- The 22-year-old central midfielder, who plays currently for CSKA Moscow, may be the breakout star of the tournament. He has Arsenal, Manchester United, and Monaco chasing his services.

Biggest Group A Match: Russia vs. Egypt, June 19, 2 p.m. EDT,

Who advances: Uruguay as group winner, Russia as group runner-up

GROUP B

Portugal (FIFA rank 4)

Spain (FIFA rank 8)

IR Iran (FIFA rank 36)

Morocco (FIFA rank 42)

Group Favorite: Spain- Portugal may be higher ranked, but Spain comes in as one of the tournament favorites. The 2010 champion will look to add a second title in three tournaments.

Top Young Player: Marco Asensio, MF, Spain- Tough call here between 22-year-old Asensio and 21-year-old Goncalo Guedes of Portugal and PSG. Asensio edges it, after his second UEFA Champions League title campaign. His goal scoring off the bench may be key.

Biggest Group B Match: Portugal vs. Spain, June 15, 2 p.m.

Who advances: Spain as group winner, Portugal as group runner-up.

GROUP C

France (FIFA rank 7)

Peru (FIFA rank 11)

Denmark (FIFA rank 12)

Australia (FIFA rank 40)

Group Favorite: France- On paper, it looks like a tough group at the top. But the French roster is loaded with talent, as they look for a second title.

Best Player: Antoine Griezmann, F, France: Another tough call here. It is between team mates, with Paul Pogba one of the top midfielders in the world. But Griezmann edges it, because he scores the goals.

Top Young Player: Kylian Mbappe-Lottin, F, France: The 19-old-old PSG superstar is ready to break out on the world stage, after he has taken the club football world by storm the last two years.

Biggest Group C Match: Peru vs. Denmark, June 16, 12 p.m.

Who advances: France as group winner, Denmark as group runner-up.

GROUP D 

Argentina (FIFA rank 5)

Croatia (FIFA rank 18)

Iceland (FIFA rank 22)

Nigeria (FIFA rank 47)

Group Favorite: Argentina- There are a lot of questions about the 2014 runner-up, but Argentina's attack should allow it to hold off a strong Croatia team.

Best Player: Lionel Messi, F, Argentina: Perhaps you have heard of him? The five-time world player of the year has won the lot with Barcelona, but has not been able to get his national team to the top. Lost three straight finals: 2014 World Cup, and the 2015 and 2016 Copa America Tournaments.

Top Young Player: Marko Pjaca, F, Croatia- On loan to Shalke from Juventus, the 22-year winger has a chance to help fire the Croatians through to the knockout stages.

Biggest Group D Match: Argentina vs. Croatia, June 21, 2 p.m.

Who advances: Argentina as group winner, Croatia as runner-up.

GROUP E

Brazil (FIFA rank 2)

Switzerland (FIFA rank 6)

Serbia (FIFA rank 35)

Costa Rica (FIFA rank 25)

Group Favorite: Brazil- The tournament favorite is trying become the second squad from outside Europe to win the World Cup on European soil. The first? Brazil, in 1958 (Sweden).

Best Player: Neymar, F, Brazil- The favorite for the Golden Ball as the top player at the World Cup. He is coming off a long layoff, though, but scored on his return in a friendly last week.

Top Young Player: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, MF, Serbia- A box-to-box midfielder that can score big goals, 23-year-old Milinkovic-Savic may be leaving Lazio for Manchester United. But for now, he has to help what some people think is a tournament dark horse get out of a tough group.

Biggest Group E Match: Serbia vs. Switzerland, June 22, 2 p.m.

Who advances: Brazil as group winners, Serbia as runner-up.

GROUP F

Germany (FIFA rank 1)

Mexico (FIFA rank 15)

Sweden (FIFA rank 23)

Korea Republic (FIFA rank 61)

Group Favorite: Germany- The defending champion, Germany has a roster that is loaded. Can Die Mannschaft navigate through another tricky bracket and repeat?

Best Player: Toni Kroos, MF, Germany- Another Real Madrid star that just won his third UEFA Champions League title in a row, Kroos is the midfield general for Germany.

Top Young Player: Timo Werner, F, Germany- The 22-year-old RB Leipzig striker scored 21 goals this season, and will benefit from the ultra-talented midfield behind him. If he scores goals, this team can repeat.

Biggest Group F Match: Mexico vs. Sweden, June 27, 10 a.m.

Who advances: Germany as group winner, Sweden as group runner-up.

GROUP G

Belgium (FIFA rank 3)

England (FIFA rank 13)

Panama (FIFA rank 55)

Tunisia (FIFA rank 14)

Group Favorite: Belgium- With a roster full of talented stars playing in the Premier League, the time has come for Belgium to make some noise at an international tournament.

Best Player: Eden Hazard, MF, Belgium- This is the toughest group to pick. Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne and England's Harry Kane could easily be the pick, but it is Chelsea's midfield maestro that gets the nod as top of the group.

Top Young Player: Raheem Sterling, F, England- Another tough call, with England and Tottenham star Dele Alli in the mix. But 23-year-old Sterling had a big year for Manchester City, and scored 23 goals. 

Biggest Group G Match: Belgium vs. England, June 28, 2 p.m.

Who advances: Belgium as group winner, England as group runner-up.

Group H

Colombia (FIFA rank 16)

Poland (FIFA rank 10)

Senegal (FIFA rank 28)

Japan (FIFA rank 60)

Group Favorite: Colombia- This is by far the most even group, with any of three teams in the running to win. Colombia may have just enough to get five points, and win it on goal difference.

Best Player: Robert Lewandowski, F, Poland- The Bayern Munich forward scored 41 goals this season, and will have to keep piling on the goals to make up for the porous Poland defense.

Top Young Player: Davinson Sanchez, CB, Colombia- The 21-year-old Tottenham center back has gotten better all year, and now may get a chance to anchor what might be the stingiest defense in the tournament.

Biggest Group H Match: Poland vs. Senegal, June 19, 11 a.m.

Who advances: Colombia as group winner, Senegal as runner up.

Which team will hoist the gold World Cup trophy Sunday, July 15 (11 a.m. EDT) at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow?

While the 2018 World Cup gets underway Thursday, June 14, with hosts Russia taking on Saudi Arabia (11 a.m. EDT), the big question that everyone wants to know will not be answered until a month later.

Which team will hoist the gold World Cup trophy Sunday, July 15 (11 a.m. EDT) at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow?

All eight groups have been broken down. Now, it is time to talk about the players that will have the most impact on the tournament, the teams that will contest the knockout stages, and the eventual winner.

WORLD CUP WINNER ODDS

Brazil, 9/2

Germany, 5/1

Spain, 6/1

France, 7/1

Argentina, 9/1

Belgium, 11/1

England, 16/1

TOP FIVE PLAYERS TO WIN THE GOLDEN BALL

The Golden Ball trophy is awarded to the player of the tournament, but it is not an MVP award. It has not been awarded to a player on a title-winning team since the tournament back in 1994, hosted by the USA. 

Lionel Messi (Argentina) won in 2014 with the runner-up, while Diego Forlan (Uruguay) won in 2010, with the fourth place team. 

With that in mind, here are the top five picks to come away as the top player at the 2018 World Cup.

Kevin De Bruyne, MF, Belgium: The Manchester City maestro could help his Belgian side make a deep run in the tournament, but also has Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku that could take some of the plaudits as well. Odds: 16-1.

Antoine Griezmann, F, France: He led Atletico Madrid to a UEFA Europa League crown May 16, and will spearhead the potent France attack. He will also be one of the favorites to win the Golden Boot, with France tipped to go deep into the bracket. Odds: 12-1

Toni Kroos, MF, Germany: Just came off a third UEFA Champions League title in a row with Real Madrid, and won the 2014 World Cup. He will be one of the key German players, as Die Mannschaft attempts to win back-to-back titles. Odds: 33-1.

Neymar, F, Brazil: He is the favorite to win the award. Brazil is the current favorite to win the tournament, and is the only non-European team to win a World Cup on European soil (1958, Sweden). He is the star of the most recognizable team on the planet, but is coming in off a long layoff due to an injury playing with club side PSG. Odds: 8-1.

David Silva, MF, Spain: Another Manchester City player, Silva will join possibly the top midfield in the tournament, in search of a second World Cup title in eight years (2010). Can Spain score enough goals to go deep enough for him to win the award? Odds: 20-1.

THE PICK:

Tony Kroos, Germany.

OFF THE BOARD PICK:

Paul Pogba, France (33-1).

TOP FIVE PLAYERS TO WIN THE GOLDEN BOOT

This award goes to the top goal-scorer at the tournament. James Rodriguez (Colombia) won it in 2014, while Thomas Muller (Germany) won in 2010.

Here are the top five picks to win.

Antoine Griezmann, France, F: There may be many "Take the L" dances on tap in Russia, as Griezmann looks to help his team win a second World Cup title (1998). He will have the playmakers around him, and should get plenty of opportunities to score, if France goes deep into the tournament. Odds: 12-1.

Harry Kane, England, F: The English fans are convinced the football is coming home, and Kane would be the reason. The Tottenham striker can lead the Three Lions to their second title (1966), and win his knighthood in the process. Can the Kane madness be unleashed? Odds: 16-1.

Romelu Lukaku, Belgium, F: The Manchester United forward has talented playmakers all around him, and gets to play Tunisia and Panama in a weak Group G. If Belgium can make a deep run, which looks to be the case, Lukaku will bag the goals. Odds: 16-1.

Lionel Messi, Argentina, F: This could be wholly contingent on how far Argentina advances in the bracket. Messi led his team to the 2014 final, before falling 1-0 in added extra time to Germany, and is the second best player in the world. Odds: 9-1.

Neymar, Brazil, F: Same thing as with Messi. Neymar could score in bunches, especially in a weaker Group E. But will this team advance far enough for the PSG forward to pile up the goals? Odds: 10-1.

THE PICK: Antoine Griezmann, France.

OFF THE BOARD PICK: Kylian Mbappe-Lottin, France (33-1).

KNOCK OUT STAGE PICKS

Brazil def. Spain, game July 14.

Final

Germany and France match up for the 2018 World Cup title, with possibly the two most talented rosters on the planet.

The defending champion versus the beaten EURO 2016 finalist. Many people think France is set up more for the 2022 tournament in Qatar, but Les Bleus have a squad full of talent, and enough firepower in their attack and midfield to shut down the Germans.

France def. Germany, 3-2, game July 15, 11 a.m. EDT.

As happened with drunken driving, as happened with tobacco use, society eventually takes a U-turn, despite desperate efforts by powerful gun lobbyists and self-proclaimed defenders of the status quo to allow just about anyone to own any kind of gun.

"Nobody needs an Uzi. Nobody needs an AK-47."

With those words to the media nearly 30 years ago, former Gov. James Florio set New Jersey on course to adopt the country's strongest gun-safety laws, including a ban on a wide range of semi-automatic weapons.

This coming week, a successor, Gov. Phil Murphy, is expected to do his part to keep Garden State residents safe.

The first-term Democrat is poised to sign six bills that passed the state Legislature Thursday, including a measure that authorizes courts to issue restraining orders to persons who pose a significant risk or personal injury to themselves or others by possessing a firearm.

Specifically, the legislation will authorize family members or friends to apply to the courts to keep weapons out of the hands of loved ones if the situation warrants it.

Another bill in the package will mandate law-enforcement officials in the state to seize a person's guns if a mental-health professional determines that the person poses a threat to himself/herself or to others.

N.J. on the brink of enacting even tougher gun laws

Additional measures require that all private gun sales in the state to go through a licensed dealer who can perform an additional background check at the point of sale, and ban magazines in the state that hold more than 10 rounds, with some exceptions.

As of the end of May, there had been 23 reported school shootings this year alone. At one of them, the deaths of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., sparked a national student-led campaign for more sensible gun laws.

The bills also come as U.S. Rep. Tom MacArthur - who boasts a 93 percent approval record from the National Rifle Association - has co-sponsored a bill that would allow firearms enthusiasts to carry concealed weapons across state lines, over-riding New Jersey's long-standing ban.

Clearly, the big bucks the powerful lobby has poured into the congressman's coffers - nearly $10,000 worth - are paying huge dividends.

Slowly, very slowly, sentiment seems to be shifting nationwide as the true horror of unchecked gun ownership sinks in.

As happened with drunken driving, as happened with tobacco use, society eventually takes a U-turn, despite desperate efforts by powerful lobbyists and self-proclaimed defenders of the status quo.

The legislation Murphy is expected to approve this week proves it can happen within the gun culture as well.

These are sensible bills, not designed to pry the weapons out of the hands of legal and responsible owners, but rather to come to an accommodation that helps keep New Jersey residents free from harm. We will be among those applauding when the governor picks up his pen.

Some smaller districts would see their state aid double, triple or even quadruple.

If you live in New Jersey, there's a good chance your school district is getting cheated.

The state has a formula that says exactly much money it should give each district so kids get the education they deserve. But it hasn't fully paid in almost a decade, leaving districts to raise taxes, cut jobs and put off new initiatives to make up the difference.

Things may finally be about to change, however. 

Gov. Phil Murphy and Democratic lawmakers are working on plans to fully fund that formula within the next few years and remove a cap on much new aid a district can get each year. 

If they can get it done, the impact will be huge. 

About two-thirds of all districts would see their school funding increase, more than 50 districts would eventually get at least a $10 million boost, and some smaller districts would see their state aid double, triple or even quadruple over time (looking at you, Chesterfield). 

That could mean modest property tax reductions (or smaller hikes, at least), fewer budget cuts and more spending on textbooks, technology and other classroom needs. 

But before you celebrate, beware of one thing. Some districts already get more than what the formula says they should because lawmakers previously made a deal to prevent districts from losing state dollars. 

In order to get every district what it's owed, the state is considering reducing aid to those "overfunded" districts and reallocating funds to those that have been shorted. It's the most controversial part of the plan and could lead to local tax hikes or budget cuts. 

Time will tell if anything actually changes. For now, underfunded school districts can dream.

New Jersey lawmakers are trying once more to ban smoking at all public parks and beaches, and this time around their efforts to make these areas safer and more attractive might just succeed.

State lawmakers are trying once more to ban smoking at all public parks and beaches, and this time around their efforts to make these areas safer and more attractive might just succeed.

By overwhelming numbers, the state Senate and Assembly passed a bill last week that would impose fines on anyone lighting up on Jersey Shore beaches or at other recreational areas in the Garden State.

If Gov. Phil Murphy signs it, which we hope he does, the bill will become effective after 180 days - too late for this summer, but in plenty of time for the next.

Clean Ocean Action, a nonprofit that collects litter up and down the Atlantic Coast, says it found 29,000 butts last year, in addition to 1,155 lighters and 1,870 cigarette packages.

Smoking ban at N.J. beaches and parks now up to Phil Murphy

Your walk in the park, or on the beach, shouldn't include inhaling someone else's second-hand smoke, or stepping over the spent matches and half-finished cigarettes left behind.

As Senate President Stephen Sweeney summed it up, "Our beaches ... shouldn't be ashtrays."

The bill expands the state's Smoke-Free Air Act to include forests, beaches and parks. Although roughly 20 municipalities throughout the state have already adopted their own bans on smoking at the beach, the new legislation will create a welcome uniformity.

For the past four years, state legislators have been had limited success in getting a comprehensive ban past Gov. Chris Christie, who vetoed one version in 2014 and issued a conditional veto again two years later, essentially passing the buck to townships to develop their own laws.

For every smoker who whines that his freedoms are being systematically taken away there's a public official ready to respond that banning smoking is good for New Jersey's robust tourist industry.

Matt Doherty, former mayor of Belmar, told a radio station two years ago that when his borough became the first in the state to adopt the no-smoking-on-the-beach law in the spring of 2014, merchants at the beach noticed an unexpected bonus: an upsurge in business.

Doherty noted that the prohibition helps business owners and municipal officials market the local beaches as healthier and more family-friendly.

The fines the new bill sets out are suitably hefty: $250 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 each on subsequent offenses.

Parks and beaches are included in the proposed law, but golf courses are exempt, as are adjacent parking lots and those parcels of public lands municipalities set aside as smoking areas.

The governor should takes his cue from the overwhelming support the bill found among lawmakers: The Senate went for it 32-1, with the Assembly following suit with a vote of 66-1, with two abstentions. With his signature, Murphy can make this long-awaited measure a reality.

When the former Hunterdon County man went to assist his daughter at a traffic stop, the suit claims he was attacked by an officer. Watch video

Raritan Township approved a $200,000 settlement to a former Hunterdon County man stemming from an excessive force lawsuit he filed against township police claiming he'd been attacked at a traffic stop. 

In 2012, Dennis Shuman filed suit in federal court alleging excessive force after he tried to help his daughter during a traffic stop. 

Shuman said he came to his daughter's aid because she had been harassed and intimidated by officers for months when she was pulled over for a traffic stop, NJ Civil Settlements reported.

When he arrived at the scene of the traffic stop in August 2012, the suit claims, he tried to cross the street to talk to his daughter when officer David Carson ordered him to get out of the roadway.

In dashcam video of the incident, the officer can be heard telling Shuman to "get back in his car or he'll be arrested."

Shuman claims in the suit that when he "began to obey and was walking back across the street" while making a call to the Raritan chief of police, Carson allegedly grabbed Shuman by the arm and threw him against the hood of the patrol car. 

The video shows Carson throwing Shuman to the ground, shouting "stop resisting," while Shuman said "I am not resisting," and "you are hurting me." 

The suit claims Shuman suffered an open wound to the head that began to bleed, the suit said. He also sustained back injuries during the arrest. It also describes Carson telling the daughter, Alexa Shuman, to "get back in the car or you're next," when she ran to help her dad off the ground.

Named as defendants are the township, the police department; police officers Carson, Aaron Roth, Lt. Nicklas Buck, Sgt. Scott Lessig and Chief Glen Tabasko.

Shuman's suit claims he suffered from multiple injuries from the altercation; arm and eye injury and nerve damage to his elbow. 

The township agreed to pay the $200,000 settlement in May 2017 to Shuman, who now lives in Florida.

A new reporting project looks at New Jersey's economy through the lens of all the hustlers in the state. Watch video

We want to hear how people in New Jersey are hustling to make ends meet.

You could be in the circus. You could be selling jewelry on Etsy. You could be working five jobs. Whatever it is you're doing, we want to hear about it.

Here's why we are launching this summer project: New Jersey is at the bottom of the list of states in terms of economic growth. For many people, jobs are hard to come by. For others, their paychecks don't cover the bills.

In spite of this, people choose to stay and live in the Garden State, even though they have to hustle to make it work. We want to celebrate that.

We want to highlight all of the hardworking people of the Garden State who are doing wonderful and unique things to get by.

Through our reporting, we hope to understand better how New Jersey got to where it is today, how people have coped - or thrived - and what life might look like for people in the future.

We can't do this without you.

We want our project, "The Jersey Hustle," to be driven by you, the people of New Jersey. We're looking for people to tell us their stories or stories about others in their communities.

If you're interested in speaking with us, please fill out the form below. If you want to provide information about someone other than yourself, there is a dedicated space for that in the form.

We can't wait to get started, and we look forward to hearing from you!
