Former Governor Jon Corzine's taxpayer funded spokesperson Josh Zeitz whined to the Associated Press that some of the cuts Governor Chris Christie made in state spending last week were also proposed by Corzine before he left office.
"I guess they only count if you announce them on television," Zeitz told the AP.
That would help Josh, but it really only counts when you actually get it done.
Corzine couldn't get the legislature to go along with his proposed cuts during the lame duck session. He had no problem flushing hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars down the aid to patronage pits, aka distressed cities, during the waning hours of his term, however.
Zeitz whined that Christie's cuts don't compare to the $4 billion in mid term cuts that Corzine made last year, "without grandstanding." That's because Corzine only grandstanded about his devotion to the public employees unions and would rather have raised tolls 800% and borrowed $40 billion than make the cuts the economy forced on him.
If "Hold Me Accountable" Corzine had been able to fix New Jersey's finances, as he promised he would, he might still be governor. Instead, he capitulated to the legislature, unions, and other special interests time after time for four years.
Corzine should get off the stage and tell his flack to shut up and run for Congress or go to work for a hedge fund.

as long as he can't hurt us any more, whatever!..
Anybody else really wonder why an ex-governor is allowed to keep a one man transition team of sorts? It's such a waste of taxpayer money and Corzine is using every penny of it to stay meaningful for whatever the time allotted is.
Can't Christie get rid of this in an executive order or something?
