the budget that the legislature rejected was HIS budget. So while not having an alternative is problematic and makes the legislature culpable in this, Corzine's budget did nothing to address the glut of state payroll, which is what HAS to occur to fix the issue. He is (mr no special interest) in bed with the state union. He has been just as bad at placing people in high payroll jobs. His latest trick??? Make a public spectacle of eliminating positions..then a very quiet rehiring of the SAME PEOPLE in different capacities and the same or higher salary.
And in his first "crisis situation"...he's completely blown it.
So while it appears he is saying the "right thing". He's TELLING IT TO HIMSELF!
