01 December 2009 - NJ Legislature: The Silly Season Begins…
As we have commented in the past, the New Jersey does their best impression of fiddling while Rome burns after election time each year. It is during this time that our elected representatives in the Assembly and Senate take a look at the prevailing issues of the day and then completely ignore them. Prior sessions [...]

25 August 2009 - Let’s investigate Goldman Sach’s alumni conflict of interest Mr Corzine
As Jon Corzine continues his hypocritical accusations of Chris Christie, maybe it is time for a real account of the ties between Goldman Sachs alumni like Corzine and government influence. From this article in the Policy Examiner: The Times points out that Goldman alums include: Former treasury secretary Hank PaulsonPaulson’s bailout chief Neel KashkariInterim Treasury [...]

26 July 2009 - Corzine won’t tolerate corruption…except when he does.
The Washngton Post today had an article discussing this week’s corruption arrests of mostly Democrat politicians and reached into Corzine’s cabinet. From the article: Corzine has not been implicated in the investigation, but the scandal did reach his Cabinet; Joseph Doria, commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, resigned after FBI agents raided his home [...]

23 July 2009 - Another day, another 30 corruption arrests in NJ
The story speaks for itself at this point(from the Wall Street Journal): Federal agents swept into northern New Jersey towns Thursday morning, arresting about 30 people including several mayors, in a federal investigation into alleged public corruption and a high-volume, international money-laundering conspiracy. Even by New Jersey standards, this one seems like a weird one. [...]

06 June 2009 - Another NJ Politician Sentenced for Corruption
From the Star Ledger: A “crass, immature” Passaic ex-councilman was sentenced yesterday to more than six years in federal prison for accepting $44,500 in bribes for himself and other onetime city officials. Every time I see one of these articles, I am struck by the sheer audacity of the corruption. It is often in plain [...]

15 May 2009 - State deficit – Corzine says everyone is doing it!
Jon Corzine made a comment meant to suggest that New Jerseys fiscal woes a the same saying “almost every state is in the same situation”. Do the facts back him up(from CBPP)? So, while many states have deficits, they all do not. And while many states are revising their numbers (these were prior to most [...]

14 January 2009 - Corzine’s budget folly
Governor Corzine gave his state of the state speech yesterday. The most interesting part of the Governor’s speech is the complete lack of real content and ideas for changing New Jersey’s fiscal situation. From the start, it was clear that this was not a business speech, it was purely politics. Shortly into the speech, Corzine [...]

11 January 2009 - A Proposal for NJ Pols – Budget neutral or you pay
I had an idea for politicians in New Jersey. You see, in this state, politicians get elected and then immediately push their pet priority (having no relevant support from their constituency). And usually (since most of our politicians are democrats), these ideas involve more spending. Spending is fine if it is coupled with accountability. So [...]

06 January 2009 - Please say it is so….Chris Christie for Governor
I received this in my inbox yesterday: Subject: Message from Senator Kyrillos Dear Friend, I spent time over the weekend with my good friend, former US Attorney Christopher Christie and I am very encouraged by what I heard. Chris is being urged to run for Governor by Republicans, Independents, and even some prominent Democrats. They’ve [...]
