Wednesday morning news roundup

*Jersey City police are asking for your help in collecting the trash named 28 year old Anthony Williams who was the getaway driver in the bodega murder of Elisha "Elijah" Benjamin on January 22. If you have any idea where Williams, who lives near Garfield and Woodlawn is, please contact the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Homicide Squad at (201) 915-1345.

*PPG, a Pittsburgh based company (it figures, Pittsburgh, blech) is being sued to clean up a Garfield Avenue site, still full of chromite where a chromite ore refinement plant stood from the 1920's until 1963. Nice and timely aren't we PPG? No worries, "hexavalent chromium" which contaminates the site is only a carcinogen. Who cares PPG, that people live near there. Try living up to your responsibilities.

*Bayonne has fired 9 non Bayonne residents for working in Bayonne (We just like saying Bayonne). The worker residency law will save the city 200 large a year. One wonders if other cities to get even would fire people who live in Bayonne? Just a thought.
