Having the governor use the State Police Medevac helicopter has been a topic of consternation. Both parties (depending on who is sitting in the governor's office) either complain about the cost to the taxpayers and that it's sometime used for campaigning or they pontificate to the other party and electorate that by not using it they are saving the taxpayers money and are no different than the average taxpayer who must use NJ's congested roads, meanwhile the tax-saving politicians approve salary raises and budget increases in the billions and can't account for the billions spent, then brag that they are saving us money by not using the helicopter.
Are you talking about the Medevac helicopter being used to airlift Corzine? That was absolutely appropriate given his injuries. Or are you talking about the governors getting around the state in helicopters? Please tell me they don’t use Medevac helicopters for that.
