Breath Bated for Feb 26

The linked article talks about how Governor Corzine won't put tolls on Route 440. (It was only 1.5% of the total revenue he intended to generate, after all. Just 98.5% to go...) It also talks about the people who heckled him as well, which makes me think that maybe getting in his face a little bit actually works. (No doubt that's why he wants to close the process from the public, as my co-blogger Dennis has pointed out -- you can't heckle something if you don't know any of the details about it.)

But that's not what caught my attention. It was this:

Corzine said his plan attacks spending by providing for a spending freeze and requiring voter approval for any future borrowing that does not have a dedicated revenue source. He also said the budget he plans to introduce on Feb. 26 will have deep spending cuts in it and predicted the proposal would shift the focus of the debate over his toll road plan.

I can't wait to see what he has in mind.
