Ridgewood NJ, The NY Times does hatchet job on Chris Christie while omitting the McGreevey / Corzine follies that proceeded Christie , looking to lay all the blame for New Jersey’s down fall on the current Governor .While this blog has issues from time to time with the Governor the NYT piece is so one sided and so inaccurate it almost boarders on offensive.
While criticizing New Jersey’s 47th place in economic growth the author ignores all the effort since the Kean administration by incompetent ,clueless and corrupt state politicians that has killed the golden goose for job growth in the state . New Jersey now ranks last of near last in almost every business environmentally survey .
Some years ago this blogger had the opportunity to meet with Tome Kean Jr. and while I told him of my fears that North Jersey had become too Wall Street dependent with no home grown private sector job growths , Tom was focused an banning smoking at the time .
The truly scary fact is that New Jersey had not created one new private sector job since before McGreevey untill recently and the state was left perilously insolvency by the ethically challenged Corzine. How is that for candor.
Little candor from Gov. Christie before keynote
It didn’t take long for the watch-it, buster, I’m-a-bodacious-truth-teller verbiage to start flowing.
Mitt Romney publicly tapped Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey as the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention, and within hours, Mr. Christie promised to deliver “very direct and hard truths” to the American people.
“Fixing these problems is not going to be easy for any of them,” he warned USA Today.
If the governor is in a mood for genuine candor about the economy, he could make one hell of a speech. His once prosperous state has lately become a national laggard.
Last year, New Jersey ranked 47th in economic growth, and as The Record newspaper noted, its economy shrank by 0.5 percent, even as the economies of 43 other states grew. State employment figures also do not offer much comfort. (Powell, The New York Times)
what kind of idiot reads the New York Times.
