Anonymous July 12, 2010 at 9:13 PM great story.. I'm glad I don't live in California Streetcar July 10, 2010 at 8:19 PM There is certainly a lot of tough decisions to make in New Jersey, but Christie is also quite capable of preserving wasteful mega-projects. Exhibit A: new NJ Transit trans-Hudson passenger rail tunnels into a $3 billion dead-end station under 34th St in NYC, not into Penn Station where it could be shared with Amtrak and Metro-North and would support more regional and national services. Exhibit B: a $180 million subsidy to Xanadu, a private real estate development in the Hackensack Meadowlands. Looks like Christie is really looking down the road to re-election. Christie / Brewer 2012 Ron Gerwin July 08, 2010 at 7:12 AM Why can't more people understand courage in leadership? Why can't we learn to take our medicine? Why are so many of us just plain selfish? Dick Culp July 07, 2010 at 7:54 PM Pete Peterson provides a meaningful comparison with the honest governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, and Meg Whitman, who in California will be fighting the unions until election day on November 2, some four months away. Today its the nurses union. It's more about union leaders and not-so-much about union members, who have different goals. Paul D.

Everyone is all for spending cuts EXCEPT for the spending that benefits them personally...only problem is, every bit of spending benefits SOMEONE. I honestly fear that the American public is NEVER going to accept the spending cuts that are necessary until a govt-induced economic calamity FORCES them to do so by taking "choice" out of the equation. And when that day comes, today's pampered, self-involved American public is going to get a taste of desperation that is unlike anything they've ever dreamed of. The saddest part? That even now, all of it's preventable. |
