Quote OF The Month

We've begun a new feature on Enlighten-New Jersey - Quote Of The Month. All readers are invited to submit quotes about New Jersey or statements made by a citizen of the Garden State. Quotes must have been made within in the past 30 days and be submitted with a link to a legitimate source for consideration.

All submissions must be posted in the comments section or sent to enlightenj@excite.com by no later than 11:59 pm of the last day of the month. All quotes including the name of the person or blog submitting the quote will be published the first day of the following month. The winner will be recognized with a special Enlighten-NewJersey award.

To kick things off, reader "Not Throwing Stones" has submitted the following quote.
