New Project

PDC Ryan — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 20:43:39 +0000

In my other life as an attorney at Hill Wallack LLP, I have just finished putting together a property tax appeals information site and blog. If you just got your assessment (like we did yesterday!) it might be worth your while to read up and understand exactly how the whole process works, and what the effect of your assessement is on your property taxes.

Possible Light Rail Expansion

PDC Ryan — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:00:50 +0000

Even though it has been a few years since I have lived in Jersey City, I still enjoy following the progress of the gold coast as it continues to reach up to meet the New York City skyline. If you can’t travel there to see what’s happening, the Jersey City Construction blog is the next best thing, and according to a recent post, the Jersey Journal just ran a story about hopes to extend the Hudson Bergen Light Rail west to Rt. 440 and north/west to the Meadowlands. Hopefully some of our “shovel ready” projects really will make it into the next administration’s stimulus plan.

Article – NJ App. Div. Resets Redevelopment “Game Clock”

PDC Ryan — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:29:28 +0000

A few months back I (along with Steve Eisendorfer, Esq. of Hill Wallack LLP) wrote an article analyzing the impact of the New Jersey Appellate Division case Harrison v. DeRose. The article is featured both on Hill Wallack’s main site and on its land use blog. The case is likely to be of interest not only to municipalities working to redevelop blighted areas, but for property owners concerned with the possibility that their poperty could be taken by eminent domain.

People contracting with public entities and/or planning on doing construction or maintenance work on public property may be interested in an article that I recently wrote on some changes to New Jersey’s prevailing wage act, that was recently featured in Hill Wallack’s quarterly newsletter.

Today is the big Rosendale pickle festival in upstate New York, and here’s a picture of Gloria getting ready to go check it out! (actually – this is her trying on her bonnet for your christening next week… just as good though, don’t you think?)

NJ-ARP

PDC Ryan — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 05:04:23 +0000

I am currently a proud, albeit inactive patron member of the New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers (NJ-ARP), not to be confused with the Association of Retired Persons… which I would sure love to join. This section of my site will contain links to various transportation issues, news and happenings.

Welcome to Ryankennedy.com

PDC Ryan — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:57:21 +0000

In case you haven’t noticed, I have revived Ryankennedy.com from the dead, changed hosts, and moved to a blog format using an amazing WordPress theme called Mimbo. It will be a few weeks until I have everything up and running, so please excuse the mess while I move everything over to the new format. Expect new content on technology, the law, transportation, starting a family and New Jersey politics (not in that order) starting soon.
