NJ Politics 

• NJ becomes first state in 42 years to ban death penalty Gov. Jon S. Corzine signed a law today making New Jersey the first state in four decades to abolish the
  death penalty. Death sentences replaced with life in prison without parole Gannett
   
• A rough journey from Wall Street to State Street Corzine is under fire from
  unions, environmentalists, the NAACP and other liberal constituencies who have
  begun to wonder if he really is the progressive capitalist they thought they were helping
  to elect. The state faces a $3B shortfall and $32B in debt and his plan to "restructure"
  the state's finances by raising Turnpike tolls is stalled. His relationship with the Legislature is tenuous Star-Ledger

NJ Environment 

• Demand grows for commuter rail lines With NJ Transit setting another record
  for the number of people riding its trains and buses, the agency also has to find ways
  to keep from being a victim of its success, transit advocates say AP Press  
  > Port Authority to add cars to Newark/WTC line Jersey Journal
  > After a rocky past, Amtrak’s rolling Amtrak ridership jumped to a record 25.8 million passengers in last Fiscal Year Star-Ledger

PA Environment

  storm packing high winds, snow and rain swept the state Carlisle Sentinel
   

• Army Corps to clean Armstrong County nuclear dump The Army Corps of Engineers will cleanup more than 50,000 tons of nuclear waste, but will leave behind
  other materials containing potentially dangerous heavy metals AP

PA Politics   

• Senator who? Unlike Rick Santorum, who was known for exasperating foes and
  even supporters with his sometimes incendiary remarks and hardball politics, Bob
  Casey Jr.'s first year in the Senate has been mostly quiet Patriot-News

New York/Nation/World   

• DEC scrambles to catch up on environmental projects The agency charged with protecting New York's environment, weakened by years of deep staff cuts, faces a mountain of environmental work left undone Democrat & Chronicle
