Corzine Lame Duck Appointments – A Slap at NJ Voters

Posted on 21 December 2009

John Corzine has decided to poison the well on his way out of office(WHYY):

New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine is defending the appointments he’s making in the final weeks of his administration. Corzine lost to Republican Chris Christie in his bid for a second term.

Nearly 200 people, many of them well known Democrats, have been nominated by Corzine for a variety of government positions including judgeships and jobs on state boards and authorities.

There is no way a New Jersey voter can view Corzine’s actions in a positive light. He lost the election by a significant margin. Worse yet, his percentage of the vote was 9 percentage points lower than his 2005 total and the worst performance by an incumbent in modern history. The citizens of our state soundly rejected his policies and him personally. So what does he do?

He chooses to stack every open position he can find with cronies and Democratic party hacks before the new governor takes office. Next time you wonder why New Jersey voters are apathetic and don’t show up to vote – think of this moment. I can only suggest that if the Democrats of this state want to work with the new governor, they should first take a drink from their own poison well instead. The citizens of our state would have no objection.
