I bet the road rage wasn't on his application
Evidence that it's not easy to recruit people to work as toll-takers:
New Jersey's highest court has ruled that there is no public policy reason against rehiring a Garden State Parkway toll-taker who fired a paintball gun at a vehicle in a fit of road rage.
Pretty interesting story. But not based on this quote from the judge:
"Courts must not allow the invocation of a convenient talisman -- 'public policy' -- unless circumstances demand it. Otherwise, public policy becomes an excuse to set aside an award, a facile method of substituting judicial for arbitral judgment."
I'm glad he put it in terms we can all understand.
