Meanwhile - In New Jersey
Looks like there's trouble brewing in the Garden State...
I found this posted by Paul Mulshine at NJ.com:
"Over the course of these 'town meetings' on his multibillion-dollar toll-and- spend scheme, our governor has undergone a personality change. The first few sessions featured docile crowds that were willing to sit back and absorb the wisdom of a Wall Street whiz who spoke with great authority on matters of high finance. But once the crowds wised up, Gov. Jon Corzine started to look like the bumbler he was when he first entered politics eight years ago.
The lovefest was clearly over by the time the former farm boy made a trip to the Jersey Shore. A crowd in Toms River booed and shouted throughout his presentation. The results weren't much better in Monmouth County a few nights later. This was a tough crowd. When Corzine talked about the need to raise money to fund care for the developmentally disabled, he no doubt expected to generate the same warm, fuzzy feeling that such a cause generated in prior audiences.
'Stop the scare tactics!' some guy yelled as a chorus of boos arose."
