$3 Million a year to keep a few toilets clean? What a waste!! And remember this was done during a republican administration.

No, not in NJ, there's no waste in NJ, no not with 75,000 employees and all of these authorities (Sports, Port, Highway, Turnpike, etc) where you can hide thousands of people. You ought to see how much the people make working for the Passaic Valley Sewage Commission (one of the best-kept secrets in NJ where the newspapers and politicians never did an exposé on who works there and how much they make!! All politcial appointees, both parties Republican and Democrat.... Big Bucks..These are where the jobs are, within all of these commissions:

Everytime I have ever heard him he has been talking about anal sex.

Oh, I get it. Howard Stern.

No expense should be spared to keep my buttcheeks from touching a dirty toilet seat. I say even if it costs $6 million then it is money well spent.

... state workers are starting to turn on McGreevey. Regrardless of what you think about state workers, that's a good thing for 2003 and 2005...I too once worked for NJ state government - where we worked (Human Services) it was always sadly amusing to watch the shuffling of workers each time an administration changed. There would be big promises about cutbacks in "nonessential" state employees, and some job category like "Program Development Specialists", and all those in the title, would be banished. But a few months later Civil Service would approve some new title (maybe "Program Analyst I, II, and III") and new faces would begin showing up in quantities as great or greater as those who left.

It may be good for NJ in many ways if McGreevy doesn't last for another term, but I doubt it will have much effect on reducing the overall number of state employees, even those who may be superfluous like some at the Howard Stern Rest Stop.....
