PASSAIC -- Two local Hispanic organizations have received more than $140,000 in grant money to boost their community outreach programs.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs announced last week that it awarded more than $3.7 million in Hispanic Policy Grants to 30 Hispanic community organizations throughout the state.

Two organizations in Passaic, the Hispanic Information Center of 186 Gregory Ave., and the Immigration & Citizenship Org. of 647 Main Avenue, received $62,332 and $78,000, respectively.

The center helps Spanish-speaking residents and newly-arrived immigrants read complicated government documents, find jobs and necessities like shelter, food and clothing. . Funding to maintain the center's $1 million budget and 23 staff workers come from the New Jersey Department of Children and Family Services.

It's really surprising that we haven't had a massive tax revolt in this country. Things today are much worse than the tea taxes of the 1700s.

Wow some sicking stories come rolling in today! I'm going to loss some weight reading these stories!
