1. Gonnelli Wants Jersey City Mayor To Help Him Fight NJSEA On Data Centers (patch.com) — Secaucus residents face growing concern over nine existing and additional proposed data centers as Mayor Mike Gonnelli blames the NJ Sports & Exposition Authority for approving most projects in Meadowlands territory. Gonnelli now wants Jersey City Mayor James Solomon to join him in challenging NJSEA zoning power, even as federal and state officials debate how much data centers should pay for their heavy electricity use.
2. NJ Transit service cuts coming during Portal Bridge work (nj1015.com) — NJ Transit will cut train service between Newark and Secaucus by 50% from October 11 to November 16 while final work shifts trains from the old Portal Bridge to the new Portal North Bridge.

3. Can Walmart Ever Be Cool?
