Historically, this is about the only thing that can lead to a Republican win in New York or New Jersey. When the voters get absolutely sick of the incompetence and corruption of their Dem leaders, maybe once in 20 years, then they will vote in a Republican.
Unfortunately, that Republican is usually a RINO. And when his time is up, it's back to the Dems for another 20 years.
Well I would love to see Lonegan move ahead but really if it doesn’t happen I don’t care how Corzine gets tossed.
Just toss him out on his arse.
He's about to get very, VERY popular. NJ gets over $17B from Obama's stimulus.
News reports say Dems Corzine, Lautenberg and Menendez briefed 700 muni and county officials about getting their share. Corzine set up a task force to monitor distribution; a Web site provides technical assistance for munis seeking funds. Cunning strategy----minority areas get blanketed with stimulus to reelect Dems.
$2.6B Medicaid assistance,
$1.3B "fiscal stabilization,"
$651M highway infrastructure,
$524M mass transit,
$279M Title I grants,
$200M clean water programs,
$121M "weatherization" assistance,
$101M public housing,
$56M workforce development.
$34M child care development, and,
$27M community development block grants.
Stimulus is a sleazy Dem re/election gravy train. No one outside The Democrat Machine gets stiumulus.
