Editorials: Corzine Sold Out

One after another, New Jersey newspapers agree: Wacky Jon Corzine has jilted the taxpayers once again. Corzine sold out to the unions on the mere threat that they might picket his campaign launch party with blabby Joe Biden. The "financial genius" is taking our state into bankuptcy.
Corzine cut a deal with the unions and you pay.
But don't take my word on it. Look at what the newspapers have to say:

"It will take more than a recovery to get New Jersey back on track. It will take a new governor." (Editorial, "CWA Agreement Vintage Corzine," Asbury Park Press, 06/07/09)

"Gov. Jon S. Corzine's reputation as a supposed financial wizard is officially dead. So is any notion that the New Jersey taxpayer is even close to a mild concern of his." (Editorial, "Corzine crumbles to state unionson furlough deal that's far too weak," Home News Tribune, 06/07/09)

"Here's the question for Corzine: Are his constituents the people of New Jersey or the members of the CWA?"(Editorial, "Corzine cut sweet deal with CWA," Press of Atlantic City, 06/07/09)

"It's pathetic. This deal is pathetic. Taxpayers should be furious and cynical." (Editorial, "Furlough deal is a total cop-out," Courier Post, 06/07/09)

"Gov. Jon Corzine has buckled again in negotiating furloughs and wage freezes with state worker unions, providing enough concessions that taxpayers could end up eventually losing money in the deal." (Editorial, "Corzine to unions: You win," Courier News, 06/07/09)

"...the governor caved." (Editorial, "Republicans' furlough criticism right on," Daily Record, 06/07/09)

"As with the four-year contract Corzine negotiated with the state's unions two years ago, he gave away more than taxpayers can afford. And as has been his pattern during his four-year term, he opted for the easy way out..."(Editorial, "CWA Agreement Vintage Corzine," Asbury Park Press, 06/07/09)
