New Jersey tourists have graded New Jersey residents, and you may be surprised at the results.

I have some immediate reactions to this. Maybe if the tourists drove a little better, we'd be in a better mood.

And if you didn't take our favorite table at our favorite restaurant all summer we'd be smiling like angels.

Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you back here in May!
