Staten Island was almost apart of Jersey...If it came to a vote to allow Staten Island to be apart of Jersey, would you vote to allow it?
Here’s some history about the NJ/NY dispute over the land (according to The New York Times): https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/21/nyregion/21mayor.html

Only if it would eliminate the tolls between NJ and Staten Island. Otherwise, what's the point?
No, we already have Bayonne.
Came here to say this
Nope. We get enough Bennys in the summer, so why make them citizens?
Nah. It’d be better if we got the Statue of Liberty and the rest of Ellis Island instead.
No, we don't need an island full of Republicans
Hard pass
No,we have enough of them in Monmouth County.
That's a hard no from me. It's literally/was literally/may still be literally a dump
No, fuck that.
They have great pizza, but I ain't crossing no bridge to get it.
That's the extent of the amount I'll be thinking about Staten Island tonight.
No.
If Staten Island joins NJ then we should eliminate tolls on the Bayonne and Goethals bridges.
I guess that would work. I think the bridge would then fall under the jurisdiction of the NJDOT
I can't think of many things I'd care less about. I guess I'd vote to allow it because why not?
nbc can have it, it keeps them whole

Sure. But I'm from Vermont originally, a state founded on the principle of Not Belonging To New York, so I think I'm legally obligated to support anything involving taking land from New York.
Sure. It makes more sense for it to be part of NJ geographically.
I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Nope. NY can keep it.
