This budget proposal comes from a man who wants to be the face of New Jersey conservatism? The Corzine budget proposal is going to be painful enough without putting in place the kind of draconian cuts that Steve Lonegan is pushing. I’m thinking it is time that the state’s media stop taking this guy seriously.

Get used to him Hank. Soon he\’s going to be your Governor. Then people like YOU will be the ones moving out of state.If he\’s so irrelevant, why are all you liberals so obsessed with him?
Is that like the right wing knuckle draggers are obsessed with Corzine? Corzine is the first governor, Democratic or GOP, in a very long time to face up to this horrible problem and to proffer solutions. He faced the public, head to head, at town meetings. His cuts and tax increases will probably end his political career in NJ but at least give the man credit for courage and for not sweeping the problem under the rug like all previous governors, D or R.
