Just as I was about to start making calls. The ONLY person to get back to me was an employee with the New Jersey DMV (or whatever the equivalent name is in NJ), saying that the NJ DMV was not sponsoring it, attached the bill, and the contact info for the woman who was sponsoring the bill! To that man, I say thank you.
Governor?
Mrs. Tucker?
No response. No surprise.
Well, that's that. No more Bicycle Registrat....Hold on, I just want to put up a few quotes from the article about the withdrawal of the bill:
“My intention was never to impose a burden or additional costs," Tucker said in a statement. "My goal was to at least begin a discussion of how best to protect elderly pedestrians. No idea is perfect, but protecting elderly pedestrians deserves attention."
.....I'm not going to even try to understand the connection.
Tucker said senior citizens have called her office to report that they’ve been knocked down by inconsiderate riders, but had no way to register a complaint.
Well, I guess there is a connection. SO! Here's MY challenge.
"I would encourage everyone to give thought to how best we can protect elderly pedestrians and suggest solutions," the statement read.
I want YOU to come up with a suggestion. Send it to Mrs.Tucker. Her e-mail, phone, and address information are here (well, her office info, not her personal info....)

I am sending out my suggestion soon. I encourage you to look into it, think of a solution, and do the same. Complain all you want, but you can't get what you want if you only complain about the solutions.
