The sun is shining a little bit brighter in NJ since Christie became Governor. Big fight ahead, but there are a few conservatives left here who will fight along side with him.
Big supporter, Christie, continue.
My take on this is that it has nothing to do with partisan politics at all. New Jersey has reached the point where the only alternative to a major overhaul of the public employee system is a complete collapse of the state’s finances.
Don’t forget that Christie was US Attorney for NJ for a lot of years. He knows where all the union bodies are buried, including Jimmy Hoffa’s. This situation is very similar to when Giulliani was elected as NYC’s mayor. The unions can speak with bravado, but my guess is that they are quaking in their boots and when push comes to shove, they will roll over. Its either that or many alarming disclosures or union abuses are going to be publicized. People will be very surprised how quickly the unions fade away.
