- ‘Tool Kit’: There is still no deal on between Democrats and Gov. Christie on reforming arbitration for police and firefighters, a key part of the governor’s “tool kit” to help towns curtail property taxes. MORE from Politicker.

- ‘Back to Work’ Bills: The Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee Wednesday released seven measures that sponsors maintain are designed to attempt to make New Jersey a more competitive state for business by cutting taxes for companies and creating new incentives for businesses to stay and grow. Progressive critics say the legislation is little more than a collection of generous business subsidies and costly corporate tax giveaways.

- The Shore’s Health: Leading environmental groups are warning in a new report that “urgent action” is needed to address a rising tide of pollution and ecological damage along the Jersey Shore.

- NJN: Despite its uncertain future, the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority approved two new long-term lease agreements yesterday, then reiterated its hope that the future operators of New Jersey Network be based in the state.

- O’Donnell & Christie: As he celebrated his election Tuesday night, Assemblyman Jason O’Donnell said he’d tell Gov. Christie to “go to hell” for waging war on seniors, the disabled, teachers and the middle class. Yesterday, the administration shot back, saying the comments displayed a “lack of interest in bipartisan solutions.” O’Donnell himself backed off the comments yesterday, saying “sometimes … you might say things that could have been put a better way. This may be one of those times.”

- Bail Tightened for Murder Suspect: Family members of a man stabbed to death at the Brunswick Estates housing complex last week were outraged by what they viewed as very low bail for a suspect in his murder. Prosecutors have since made it harder for the suspect to make bail, switching the bail from $300,000 cash or bond to $300,000 cash-only.

Today’s Best Bets:

- Politicos may want to head up to the Loew’s to check out a roast of Hudson County executive Tom DeGise; the $75 ticket is for a good cause, with proceeds going towards the Foundation for Autism Training Education (6:30 pm). Another Austism-related fundraiser is happening Downtown at O’Connell’s, where a new project for The Soccer Learning Center to develop special soccer classes exclusively for young children with autism will raise money with a whiskey tasting (7 pm).

- Reform Toolkit: The state’s arbitration and civil service systems need to be reformed, both state Senate President Steve Sweeney and Gov. Christie said Wednesday. But the two remain at odds on how, with each accusing the other of gamesmanship.

- Menendez vs. Christie: Sen. Bob Menendez, the next New Jersey Democrat facing a statewide election, will soon focus his attention on New Jersey politics in an attempt to revive his tattered party, according to three people familiar with his plans. The biggest reason for his party’s woes is the tough-talking Gov. Chris Christie; the Ledger says the “expected clash could prove to be New Jersey’s political fight of this young century.”

- NJ in D.C.: The change in leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives means three New Jersey Democrats will lose their leadership posts on panels that shape legislation, but the state is not expected to lose much of its clout in Washington. Meanwhile, some environmentalists worry the Republican takeover of the House might further slow New Jersey’s efforts to develop cleaner energy sources that do not contribute to global climate change.

- Charter Schools: As to the fundamental question of how New Jersey’s 73 charter schools are doing in terms of student achievement, neither the state Department of Education nor the state Board of Education have any solid answers.

- NJEA Conference: Bucking decades of tradition, New Jersey’s acting education commissioner has declined an invitation to address the state’s largest teachers union at its annual convention in Atlantic City this week.

- Real Estate: Both the commercial and residential real estate markets in New Jersey are stabilizing or showing signs of improvement, but are far from robust, industry insiders say.
