1st we had the states like CA and CO revolting against the Feds on marijuana issues. Now... we have NY and NJ protecting their borders...bravo... The federal govt has gone rogue and abdicated is responsibility. no taxation without reprsentation. its time to trim the federal govt and let local govt rule. Here is a great example of 2 governors doing the right thing for the people. You wonder what nefarious plans lurk at the Federal govt level that causes them to not protect the people with such obviously decent measures. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/10...ory-quarantine-requirement-amid-ebola-threat/ NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — In the wake of the first confirmed Ebola virus case in New York City, the states of New York and New Jersey have set up a new screening system that goes above and beyond the guidelines already set up by federal officials. As CBS 2’s Alice Gainer reported, no other states have yet set up increased screening procedures for Ebola. “We believe it’s appropriate to increase the current screening procedures from people coming from affected countries from the current (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention screening procedures),” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday afternoon. “We believe it within the State of New York and the State of New Jersey’s legal rights.” Under the new rules, state officials will establish a risk level by considering the countries that people have visited and their level of possible exposure to Ebola.

Those with a lower risk will be monitored for temperature and symptoms, Cuomo explained. The New York and New Jersey health departments will determine their own specific procedures for hospitalization and quarantine, and will provide a daily recap to state officials on the status of screening, New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said at the news conference. The new procedures already have been put into use at Newark Liberty International Airport. On Friday, a health care worker landed at Newark after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the news conference. A legal quarantine was issued for the woman, who was not a New Jersey resident and was set to go on to New York afterward. “This woman, while her home residence is outside the area, said her next stop was going to be here in New York,” Christie said. “Governor Cuomo and I discussed it before we came out here, and a quarantine order will be issued.”
