Middle Township,NJ,USA -Land Line Magazine (Grain Valley,MO), by Reed Black -January 21, 2008: -- Apparently, no one told the police in Middle Township, NJ, that freedom of speech is a constitutional right... On Saturday, Jan. 19, police arrested two men who had leaflets and signs protesting Gov. Jon Corzine’s plan to drastically increase tolls. The setting was the town’s high school where Corzine was scheduled to appear at a town meeting to make his case for raising tolls...Before the governor arrived, some 10 toll increase opponents began distributing flyers and displaying signs that read “No toll hikes”... Among those were former Bogota, NJ, Mayor Steven Lonegan and Seth Grossman, an attorney... Lonegan and Grossman told that when they got to the sidewalk near the school, they were confronted by a dozen or more police officers... “I was surrounded by seven officers,” said Lonegan. “They told me the governor did not want me to hand out flyers”... “They cuffed me and put me in the patrol car,” he said... A retired superior court judge who witnessed the arrests said it was “very scary”...
