Budget Woes Force New Jersey to Ponder Ending Free Roadside Assistance

2010-08-23

Since 1994, New Jersey has offered a free roadside assistance program that gives aid to motorists dealing with vehicle-related frustrations like dead batteries, flat tires or an empty gas tank. The state's Emergency Service Patrol (ESP) began not only as a public service, but also to prevent the congestion and safety concerns that usually result from cars on the side of the road.

By some estimates, Musk is believed to be worth nearly a billion dollars and had as much as $200 million in cash reserves in recent years.

Reducing the Risks of Head Injuries for Young Athletes in New Jersey

New Jersey officials have taken measures to increase protections for much younger potential victims: ...
