New Toll Agency will be EXEMPT from Open Records Law
The hits keep rolling on as more information comes out regarding Gov Corzine's asset monetization plan for the toll roads. According to today's Courier Post article:
Gov. Jon S. Corzine would bar the public from examining the inner workings of the toll-road corporation that he wants to create to raise $32 billion, even though it would employ thousands and spend billions of dollars.
As we have discussed before, the Governor wants everyone to keep an open mind. This is despite the fact that he doesn't want citizens to vote on his plan, staged all of the increases for after his re-election campaign and now has no intention of letting the public know what is going on with this new fake entity. And the Governor wonders why the public doesn't trust him?

Adding to this:
So, Corzine wants to create a public body headed by appointees who surely would end up being politcal insiders. He wants that body to institute toll hikes of up to 50 percent every four years, raising the tolls by up to 800 percent two decades from now. And to top it all off, he wants that body, which would control billions of dollars in toll monies, to be shielded from public scrutiny.
Corzine's proposal, even without this caveat, is terribly misguided and undeserving of support. With it, it's offensive and alarming.
