The water company has not yet found a way to make water more environmentally friendly, however, it could potentially cost more green. In a New Transcript story Toynett Hall reports “Water rate hike draws objections“.

HOWELL – With nowhere else to turn for water service, Howell residents urged representatives of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to deny the New Jersey American Water Company the 23.35 percent rate increase it is seeking.

With the cost of oil, gas, food, taxes, and now water rising by double digits it is becoming painfully obvious that the cost of living is seriously out of control. When was the last time you received a 23.35% raise? How can our seniors and lower income family’s bear these types of continuous price increases? As a business owner and concerned citizen I am uneasy about the direction our local and national economy.

The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk just reported that Home Depot will close 2 NJ locations.

The Home Depot Inc. today announced that it will shutter 15 of its locations nationwide, including stores in East Brunswick and Saddle Brook.

When enterprise level organizations like Home Depot feel the economic crunch the small business owner must take notice. Preparation and planning is key to protect our businesses. Activities such as expense management, creative marketing, and sound business planning is critical to manage your business through a difficult economy.
