Ridgewood NJ, Christine Todd Whitman was parading herself on CNN knocking President on environmental issues. Whitman is same person that said “yes it’s save to breath the air during 9-11”. The same person that started the destruction of the NJ Public Employees Pension System. The same person that was a RINO for her entire term as Governor. How many people did she kill from cancer with that famous 9-21 call? Some folks have no shame!

They’re bankrupting the state and municipalities, and taxpayers get screwed at every turn. Benefits should be diminished big time, but the unions get the vote out to keep the good times rolling. You keep voting in theives and you’re gonna get robbed. Any time the unions want something, assume it’s bad for state and local tax payers”
