Corzine has now become disgusting! The sky is falling!

Governor Corzine has now gone off the deep end with his approach to his Enron toll plan. Now that citizens have roundly panned his plan, he is resorting to running around the state and telling eveyone that tuition, property taxes will rise and hopitals will close. From Forbes:

The Democratic governor has proposed significantly increasing highway tolls to pay state debt and fund transportation.

"Cutting has to be a part of it, but it is not the total solution," Corzine said. "And people who think that, I think, really are unrealistically suggesting that we cut municipal aid or school aid, which means higher property taxes. Or cut higher educational aid, which means higher tuitions. Or close more hospitals in the state of New Jersey because we don't have the resources to go forward helping our hospitals with charity care."

This man has completely abandoned any attempt to reduce spending. He created a sham spending cut idea web site to pretend he was listening. He won't. The Governor and the Democratic controlled Assembly and Senate have every intention on increasing an entire range of taxes. We are not the only ones paying attention:

But Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk, R-Bergen, charged Corzine with "using scare tactics" to get his plan approved.

"It was a juvenile response analogous to a child taking his ball and going home when he doesn't get his way," Vandervalk said. "Our residents are in dire need of leadership and a realistic solution to solving our state's financial problems, and instead the governor promises doom and gloom if he doesn't get his way with his road tax and borrowing scheme."


The only good news here is that I think we are heading to an outright revolt and Corzine is moving quickly to the possibility of motivating the citzens of this state toward impeachment. We need a governor who is capable of real courage. We frankly have a coward. The state should be done with this man.
