Happy Tuesday, perfect for a News roundup!

And have we got actual news for youze:

*A large fire at a recycling plant in Jersey City was just brought under control in the last hour or so. Yes, that would be the billowing smoke on the skyline.

* Remember how a LOT of the red light cameras were 'somehow' misconfigured to give out extra tickets? Well Jersey City has more red-light camera issues, the yellow lights are abnormally short it turns out, and that means illegal ticketing. C'mon Mayor Fulop, talk to us about these abominations. Are you for them or not?

* A Linden bodega owner went all Brad Hamilton on a would-be robber who pulled a gun and demanded cash. The bodega owner tossed scalding hot oil on the perp who then stumbled out of the store no doubt to a plastic surgeon.

Newark Archbishop John J. Myers has now sunk to tossing out threats and hiding behind an imaginary God to fight back against truth to power being spoken over his lack of oversight in dealing with pedophile priests. Sad.

* The Superstorm Sandy task force is out with their findings after last year's storm. Some of the top bullet points are to coordinate regionally on response and prepare for larger, more intense storms going forward.
