(GGCI) announced today that it will proceed with its plan to build an electric vehicle production facility in the State of Kentucky. Earlier this year, Governor Steven L.

Global Green Cars announced its commitment to go forward with this plan on September 1, 2009, which was announced by Kentucky media the same day.

| Data show N.J.'s roads the nation's worst - Philiy.com Posted: 04 Sep 2009 08:18 AM PDT New Jersey has the worst roads in the country. Just over 28 percent of the state's roads were rated in "poor condition" in a recent report, well above the national average of 5.8 percent. Transportation for America, a Washington lobbying group, highlighted the road conditions and other measurements, using data compiled by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In Pennsylvania, 11.3 percent of roads were in poor condition, putting it in the bottom fifth of the states. Timothy Greeley, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Transportation, said things are getting better. He said the state had increased its spending on road projects in the last two years because "investment in New Jersey's transportation infrastructure is critical to New Jersey's economy and quality of life." He said the department spent more on resurfacing in fiscal 2008 and 2009 than in the previous five years. And he said the department increased its spending on bridges to more than $600 million, up from $400 million in fiscal 2006. "Our roadway network handles a higher workload than many other states in this country and supports high-volume usage while combating harsh weather conditions in the Northeast," Greeley said. In South Jersey, road crews are especially busy this summer, with an infusion of federal stimulus money added to regular state and county road-repair budgets. In Burlington County, the biggest resurfacing projects include 4.9 miles of Burlington-Jacksonville Road (County Route 670) for $1.36 million, and 6.4 miles of Elbo Lane (CR 612) for $1.54 million. "We try to pick the worst and put them into this year's resurfacing program," said county engineer R. Thomas Jaggard. His list this year includes 16 roads funded with $7.8 million in state money and four projects funded with $2.5 million in federal money. In Gloucester County, crews have been resurfacing Route 322 in Harrison Township in recent weeks and are about to tackle Tuckahoe Road (CR555) and Fries Mill Road (CR655) in Monroe Township, among others. In Camden County, I-295 is being resurfaced from Exit 32 to Exit 24. Other projects include Blackwood-Clementon Road (CR 534) in Lindenwold and Pine Hill, and Erial-New Brooklyn Road (CR 706) in Winslow Township. Part of the reason for New Jersey's rough roads may be a lack of funds for highway repairs, said a motorists' group spokeswoman. New Jersey, the most densely populated and the second-most affluent state in the nation, gets most of its highway-repair money from gasoline taxes. The state has the fourth-lowest gas tax in the country (at 14.5 cents per gallon, including a 4-cents-a-gallon petroleum-products gross-receipts tax), so it gets less highway-repair money from its gas tax than most states. (Overall, though, New Jersey has the highest state/local tax burden in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation.) "We have old roads, and we're a major thoroughfare in the Northeast, and a lot of repairs have not been done," said Tracy Noble, a spokeswoman for the AAA MidAtlantic auto club. "And if we don't figure out how to fund the Transportation Trust Fund, it's going to get worse." The state's Transportation Trust Fund, which pays for road projects, is slated to run out of funding for roadwork next year. All of its $895 million a year will be required to pay for debt service on previously borrowed money. Noble said 65 percent of AAA members polled in New Jersey opposed an increase in the gasoline tax. "That said, we need to find a way to fund the Transportation Trust Fund," Noble said. Of New Jersey's approximately 10,000 miles of road, 2,808 miles were rated as "poor" in the FHWA statistics, based on 2007 data. Only 952 miles were rated "very good" or "good." The rest were deemed "fair" or "mediocre." With the release of the state-by-state data, "we're kind of waving a red flag and saying, 'If you let this stuff go, it really does come back to haunt you,' " said David Goldberg, communications director for Transportation for America. The group is lobbying for the next federal transportation bill to create a dedicated funding stream to keep highways and transit facilities in good shape. Goldberg said that New Jersey had done better than many states in repairing existing roads rather than building new ones, but that the state suffered from having lots of expensive urban roads and "a very high amount of truck traffic." Noble said the FHWA statistics supported what AAA members in New Jersey said about the state's roads in AAA polling. While most (73 percent) said the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway were in "excellent" or "good" condition, 50 percent rated state and county roads as "fair" or "poor." The national average of "poor" roads was 5.8 percent in 2007, the most recent year available, and Oregon had the lowest percentage of "poor" roads, at 0.8 percent. Among the other states with low percentages of "poor" roads were Kentucky (1 percent), Massachusetts (1 percent), North Dakota (1 percent), Georgia (1.4 percent), Florida (1.4 percent), and Ohio (1.4 percent). The road-condition ratings are based on reports that individual states are required to submit to the FHWA, using a standard International Roughness Index. The ratings include most major roads, but not "local or minor collector" roads.

| Names released in Ohio homicide - Herald-Dispatch Posted: 04 Sep 2009 08:04 AM PDT GETAWAY, Ohio — The Lawrence County Sheriff's Department has released the names of two people found dead Thursday in Getaway, Ohio. The deceased are Christopher Paul Harless, 25, of Huntington and Mary Dawn Crockett, 24, of Huntington, according to a release from Sheriff Jeff Lawless. Both were listed as living at the same residence in the 600 block of 10th Avenue. The two were found in a truck near the intersection of Ohio 243 and County Road 55, about 5 miles north of Chesapeake, Lawless said Thursday. The sheriff's department received a call about a shooting at 12:17 p.m. Thursday near the Buckeye Auto Parts building. When deputies arrived they saw a black truck in a creek. The woman was in the truck suffering from at least one gunshot wound. She was taken by helicopter to Cabell Huntington Hospital, where she subsequently died, Lawless said. The man was found outside the truck with a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Lawrence County Coroner Kurt Hofmann, Lawless said. "They weren't married," Lawless said Thursday. "It appears to be a domestic situation. They were former boyfriend and girlfriend." The man's body was taken to Hall Funeral Home in Proctorville.
