It's Federal money. But I am kinda tired of people with their hands out. I like the idea of a state saying, "No thanks" for once. Much better than taking the money and then whining about whatever strings are attached.
This from the same governor who imposed a tax on hospital beds in order to raise money to get hundreds of millions of dollars matching funds from the Federal government. Trust me, Corzine's not out to minimize federal funding sent to New Jersey unless he or his liberal friends vehemently disagree with a policy.

It's a start.
You realize, as a fellow New Yorker, 20% of our Federal tax dollars never return to the state. On the other hand, some states rake in the money -- getting 20% or even 40% more from the Fed than they kick into the kitty.
