Score One for the Good Guys

The New Jersey Legislature voted yesterday to repeal the the death penalty, and the Governor is expected to sign the bill within the week. NJ will be the first state to repeal it after it was legalized in the ’70s. Now, its not very often I can say that I’m proud of my home state but today is one of those days (although it would be better if we’d never had it all, but I’ll take what I can get). 1 state down, only 36, the federal government, and the military to go!
