Senator Gerald Cardinale, a Republican on the State House Commission, said that Governor Corzine has opened the door to corruption with his plan to sell the Camden State Prison property under a no-bid contract. The State House Commission voted to approve an opaque process of the kind that has failed taxpayers repeatedly in the past with such projects as the disastrous EnCap development and the bungled Xanadu project. Only commission members Senator Cardinale and Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon voted against the governor’s wrong-headed plan. “The governor has opened the door to corruption by refusing to let the sale of the prison property be conducted by ...

Data to be Used for State Planning Purposes Kept Secret Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman (R-Somerset) continued to call on Governor Jon Corzine today to release the results of a Rutgers study provided to the State Planning Commission that projects future population, employment and housing numbers in New Jersey. The numbers from the Rutgers Study apparently indicate that job growth for the period encompassing the years 2008 to 2028 will only amount to 6,550 annually, compared with the administration’s previous projection of 54,000 over the same period.

Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean today called on Governor Jon Corzine to immediately impound all unspent funds. This year’s budget is running almost $1 billion behind in anticipated revenues. A projection by the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services (OLS) estimates the structural budget deficit for FY 2011 to be almost $10 billion. Impounding funds is using legal authority to set aside appropriated monies. “It is vitally important that the Corzine Administration ensures that a portion of unspent funds are immediately impounded. Revenue collections for the current budget are running more than $1 billion behind, in the current fiscal year. (more…) Read Full Story

Senator Sean Kean, R-Monmouth, responded to a Star-Ledger editorial urging passage of legislation that finally would allow parents of fallen soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen and other military personnel killed in combat to buy “Gold Star Family” license plates for their cars registered in New Jersey. Legislation has been stalled for more than a year, apparently because the Motor Vehicle Commission says it’s losing money on other types of specialty plates. “As a prime sponsor of legislation that would authorize Gold Star plates, I welcome the Star-Ledger’s call to stop stalling and start honoring the parents of our fallen service men and women,” Senator Kean said. “These ...

Sharon Elghanayan. We have a feeling that Jon Corzine is going to be just fine. After his defeat on Tuesday, the governor took off for St. Barts on a private plane with his 64-year-old psychotherapist girlfriend, Sharon Elghanayan. And apparently she's the kind of 64-year-old who can still get away with wearing a bikini.

When Gail Collins calls Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds "an inept candidate whose most notable claim to fame was experience in hog castration" and outgoing New Jersey governor Jon Corzine "an uncharismatic former Wall Street big shot who failed to deliver on his most important campaign promises while serving as the public face of a state party that specializes in getting indicted" after the election, it's meaningless. If she...

Alright, it’s just about time to permanently retire the trope that lots of campaign spending buys elections, and, thus, scrap all ill-conceived and undemocratic campaign finance laws.  In politics, money isn’t everything; just ask soon to be former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine: Corzine, a former Wall Street executive, has spent $23.6 million on the general [...]

As you may have heard, New Jersey governor Jon Corzine is about to have a lot more time on his hands. He is going to join the swollen ranks of the unemployed because he lost the governorship to Chris Christie. What is he going to do with his newfound freedom? Well Corzine is, of course, a former co-CEO of Goldman Sachs, and knows his way around the banking industry. As Dealbreaker points out, there is going to be an opening...

Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean reacted today to published reports that Jon Corzine is revisiting plans to generate more money from the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway. “Two years ago, many people in the state thought the governor’s irresponsible plan to monetize New Jersey’s toll roads was dead and buried; everybody but Governor Corzine. Published reports indicate that all along the governor has...
