What was his input when a speeding state trooper almost killed governor CORZINE (D) who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident ?. I don't remember him asking for reduced night time speed limits on NEW JERSEY highways.

I meant SARLO

I'd like to know if Sarzo has even been on Barnegat Bay this summer.

With fuel prices keeping so many people from boating this year, the traffic has been really light.

I also wonder where all the fishermen are to help fight off this speed limit.

If they think they had to leave early for a fishing trip before, just wait until they see how long it is going to take to get to the inlets at 10 mph !

If this passes we can all expect a day time speed limit to follow in the near future.

If this is true, it would be a great follow on piece for the media. I think even stupid people could see how ridiculous a call for a speed limit is there, when they would have been breaking an existing one.

After reading this 10+ page thread, it is clear to me that tragic accidents such as these bring out the worst in people. I am absolutely amazed how quickly conclusions are reached by people who know nothing but what they have read in a newspaper or on a website. It also reenforces my belief in just how lazy the media has become.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in this horific tragedy.

I bought my current rig out of Brick about 7 years ago and when I went to sea trial I could not believe how few markers existed on the waterways up there. I could not imagine running up there at night without many years of area knowledge or running off plane and using a spotlight. Maybe this has changed in recent years or maybe I am just spoiled by relatively good markings here in the Chesapeake.

Viper31, much of the bay is 3-1/2 feet deep and therefore has plenty of water for most boats to operate. There are some tricky spots, but almost any boat with a fair draft can go virtually anywhere... especially at high tide.

Have there been any new developments with regard to this tragic accident? Investigation findings?

any new news on this?

Last I heard it is still unclear whether or not the boat in custody actually is the one that hit the whaler.

There is a possibility that another boat may have hit the Whaler 1st. The one in custody may have hit debris from the whaler afterwords ... Too many things unanswered at the moment.

The Asbury Park Press should be doing a follow up story soon ...

Senator Sarlo is gearing up for a slam dunk on the speed limit.

He's in for the mother of all battles with me
