PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON RETURNS TO NEW JERSEY TO HEADLINE RALLY & FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT CORZINE/WEINBERG, DEMOCRATS

(LITTLE FALLS) – President Bill Clinton returned to New Jersey today to headline a rally in Little Falls and a fundraiser in West Orange one week after headlining two rallies that drew thousands of New Jersey residents in Collingswood and New Brunswick to build support for the re-election of Governor Jon S. Corzine, his running-mate Senator Loretta Weinberg and Democrats across the state.

BERGENFIELD - Mayor Timothy J. Driscoll took another sip of his coffee and considered the political terrain.

With the battles he's weathered at the local level here the fact that the gubernatorial campaigns are storming through his town now comes with no particular irony. It's just a natural outgrowth of personalities that have been converging in Bergenfield for years, some of whom are now trying to connect with the 13,387 registered voters in this compact town, while others - pending appeal - appear headed for the federal pen.

How does it all play into the statewide race with seven days remaining?

"I don't think much at all," said the retired engineer, sitting in his second floor mayor's office in town hall. "It's all about the economy. The economy is the problem."

Days after a jury found former Bergen County Democratic Organization Chairman Joe Ferriero guilty of defrauding Bergenfield of the honest legal services of former attorney Dennis Oury (who had already pleaded guilty to fraud), the two candidates for lieutenant governor scrambled into the same senior daycare facility on the main drag, local state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck), running mate of Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, first; followed by Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno, the Republican running mate of former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie. 

The two major party candidates for Lt. Governor will campaign at Bergenfield senior centers tomorrow, five days after a jury found former Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero guilty of depriving Bergenfield residents of the "honest services" of their borough attorney.   State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck), who represents Bergenfield in the State Senate, will be there in the morning; Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno, the GOP candidate, will be there at 2PM. 

WHERE IS GOVERNOR CORZINE, SENATOR WEINBERG, DISTRICT 37 ASSEMBLY MEMBERS JOHNSON AND HUTTLE ON MTA (TUNNEL AND BRIDGE) INCREASES?

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Today, Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk released the following statement regarding the Corzine campaign's baseless and hypocritical attacks on Chris Christie's health insurance plan:
 "As a co-sponsor of the bill allowing access to a version of mandate-free health care plans, Senator Loretta Weinberg should have known better before she started to baselessly attack Chris Christie's plan to offer uninsured New Jerseyans access to health care.  Chris' plan to expand access to health care must be enacted to ensure that the 1.4 million uninsured New Jerseyans can afford insurance for themselves and their families.  The Corzine campaign has consistently misrepresented this issue to scare women in our state and they should be ashamed.  It is time for them to set the record straight, tell the truth and apologize for their unfounded attacks on Chris' plan and his character."

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Today, Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini released the following statement regarding the Corzine campaign's baseless and hypocritical attacks on Chris Christie's health insurance plan:
 "With a little more than a week until Election Day, it is time to put aside petty, baseless attacks and focus on issues.  Jon Corzine and Loretta Weinberg have attempted to distract New Jerseyans from the Governor's failing record with scare tactics on important and sensitive issues, such as women's health coverage.  Their lies are disgusting and inappropriate.  Senator Weinberg knows Chris Christie's health insurance plan will give New Jerseyans access to health care, which is why she sponsored a bill creating a similar program.  The Corzine campaign must now put aside these misleading attacks and apologize to the voters of New Jersey."

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Today, Sheriff Kim Guadagno released the following statement regarding the Corzine campaign's baseless and hypocritical attacks on Chris Christie's health insurance plan:
 "Jon Corzine and Loretta Weinberg should be ashamed of themselves.  For months, their campaign has wrongly accused Chris Christie of using mandate-free policies to deny women vital health care services, blatantly lying about his plan.  Now we learn that they are attacking the very concept Loretta Weinberg clearly supports considering she went as far as to sponsor legislation to offer mandate-free policies.  Governor Corzine and Senator Weinberg should apologize immediately for their misleading, and false attacks.  Attacking the very policies that Ms. Weinberg supports is the very definition of hypocrisy."

The Record endorsed Gov. Jon Corzine for re-election, saying that the presence of State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) on Democratic ticket tipped the scales in the governor's favor.

"Corzine alone has been adrift in the State House. Weinberg is more than a skilled political navigator. She is the compass the Corzine administration has lacked. With Weinberg as lieutenant governor, we believe there will be change," the editorial said, noting that Corzine "has not been the governor most New Jerseyans wanted." 

But The Record criticized Republican Christopher Christie for not outlining a specific plan to deal with next year's projected budget deficits, and said that they would rather Corzine appoint future Justices of the state Supreme Court.
