Dear Friend,
By now I hope you have had a chance to read the findings of
our poll with Fairleigh Dickinson University that found nearly half of New Jersey residents are planning to leave our state and almost 40% of young residents are intending to leave within 5 years.
The media certainly took notice of these startling results!
Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to preview the findings with Joe Piscopo on his AM 970 The Answer radio show in New York City. I invite you to listen to the interview
here. Today, I appeared with Philadelphia-area talk host Rich Zeoli on his morning show on 1210 WPHT AM. A significant portion of this today's NJ 101.5 morning show with Bill Spadea was devoted to a discussion of our poll which was
covered by reporter David Matthau.
Our report was a featured story on last evening's
NJTV News which can be viewed
here. Additional television coverage was featured by
CBS-2 in New York,
CBS-3 in Philadelphia and
WJLP/NJNN.
The poll results were also a feature story in today's
Burlington County Times, ROI-NJ, NJ Biz and the "Quote of the Day" in
InsiderNJ.com's Morning Intelligence Briefing.
There's also no doubt that our message has struck a nerve and caught the attention of the media but also policymakers. In a
press release issued yesterday, Senator Steve Oroho cited the poll as evidence “It’s time to act now, before too many more people put their escape plans into motion.”
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and please share this email with anyone you feel may be interested in GSI’s work.
