I can not understand why a man as wealthy and powerful as Jon Corzine would need to make regular installments to this woman or members of her family. As the leader of the Democratic Party in this state he needs to come clean and do it now, so we can get this behind us, and keep both chambers and his office in the future. Last thing we need is for his doings to be trickled out over the next year. This has to become old news and quick. And why not have Katz provide a loan or grant to her brother-in-law since she was receiving money from Corzine? Was there not pictures in the Ledger of her multi-million dollar addition to her once modest home? I mean this stuff is common sense. And if her brother-in-law lives with Katz's sister and mother, and he is struggling financially, wouldn't that mean that her sister and mother would be hurting. Why would Katz not do what any other sibling or child do when a family member is in need? This whole debacle does not make sense. I voted for him and will vote for him again. But, he needs to stand up and get this behind him and the state.

He's a friend. So he gave him $25,000 or whatever. So fuhgeddaboutit. Oh... and before that he gave him a patronage job for working on a campaign. And that wasn't wrong till he got caught. Corzine is typical wallstreeter... use someone, then dump them when they aren't convenient and treat them like cheap crap... here's a little cash... just shutup and go away now little person.

It is becoming quite apparent that Corzine has given this woman hundreds if thousands in loans, tutitions payments and other so called "gifts." Who gives there ex-girlfriend's brother-in-law money, much less $15,000? This whole relationship has been shrewdly kept from public view and it's obvious in my mind this Administration has been compromised. Katz and Corzine are part of the greater overall embarassment which is politics as usual here in New Jersey. How can Corzine claim to drain the swamp of "pay for play," dual-job holding and alike when he cannot be honest as to exactly how much money he has "gifted" Katz?

At this point, you can only wonder what he is being blackmailed with.

Perhaps it's a video tape of some sort.

"I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job."

...the Governor, claiming that we (the collective public) should not have any right to know about his personal dealings, uses his "political" staff to run errands for him??

From Sunday's story:  "This is a guy that's in desperate financial straits," Corzine said. "And I said (to Shea), 'Take care of it and see what we can do to help. And don't have him lose his house.'"

Maybe Shea should have been talking to Nia Gill or Ron Rice about Rabner's Supreme Court nomination rather than acting as the Executive Director of the Jon Corzine Social Services Agency and part-time soup kitchen.

Corzine is a disaster.

...oh, and one more thing.  Corzine has driven another New Jersey resident out of the state...

"In recent weeks, Riccio said, neither the governor nor his aides returned his calls. Riccio said he and his wife once hoped for help from Katz, but that their relation ship grew strained after she learned Corzine gave them money. He said he has been unable to find work and that he and his wife, a schoolteacher, are considering relo cating to another state."

Whether or not you believe Corzine's statement that he was just helping someone to avoid bankruptcy, it still stinks of a scandal.

If the article is accurate, it sounds like Corzine ended the career of this guy and in ending it promised to help him find a job...a promise that was unkept. The whole reason Corzine demanded he resign was an attempt to hide any ties to Katz. Now he is giving this same person money so that he can avoid bankruptcy.  It definitely smells like Corzine is paying this guy off for some reason.

Maybe if Gov. Corzine lowered the taxes in NJ and actually provided real property tax relief, this guy would be able to find a job rather than thinking about relocating to another state.

Well, Carla must have something really powerful over Jon's head. No one is worth $10 million plus. Story is that he wrote love letters to his Washinton staffer that Carla copied and held over his head. That's not enough. Is it possible that Carla was having Jon's love child but agreeded to have Jon's love child done away with? Is that worth $10 million? Will anyone ever know the truth. Does anyone really care?

 Tell me that wouldn't be a great TV movie!

What???? You voted for him them first time and would vote for him again???? Sounds like whats wrong with NJ
