Corzine Toll Plan Affecting Senate Races

Posted on 12 February 2008

Gotta love this…

“Maybe if we had a more effective U.S. senator, the governor wouldn’t have to borrow $40 billion,” Pennachio said.

I didn’t live in New Jersey under Christie Whitman’s administration, but apparently she beat up Democrat Bill Bradley during the Senate race in 1990 because he didn’t repudiate Gov. Florio’s tax hikes — and came within 2 points of him.

This is particularly choice:

Lautenberg spokesman Brendan Gill said the Republican candidates “will say anything to avoid talking about how we are going to bring our troops home, stimulate our economy, improve health care and boost education. Sen. Lautenberg is working for New Jersey to tackle those problems now.”

In other words, Senator Lautenberg is working for New Jersey by trying to federalize everything — making New Jersey’s statehood less relevant — and would really rather avoid talking about what’s happening in his own back yard. Fortunately, he has said that “now is not the time to be raising tolls.” Even Corzine’s friends aren’t his friends on this topic.
