Marker28: I wonder if the ufc cut list is out yet. mike5k: New Jersey is weird like this. Road construction is done with taxpayers' money so the bid results are a matter of public record but in some cases you have to apply for them under the Open Public Records Act. I don't think it applies in this case though.
