LISA JACKSON HEADLINES LUNCHEON EVENT FOR WOMEN OF COLOR TO SUPPORT CORZINE/WEINBERG & DEMOCRATS

Lisa P. Jackson today addressed over 100 women as the keynote speaker at a luncheon hosted by Senator M. Teresa Ruiz (D-Newark), Assemblywoman L. Grace Spencer (D-Newark) and the Democratic State Committee’s “Yes We Can 2.0” (YWC 2.0) to show support for the re-election of Governor Jon S. Corzine, the election of the State’s first Lieutenant Governor Loretta Weinberg and Democrats across New Jersey.

Over 100 women from across the State attended the luncheon held at Opcao Café in the city of Newark to welcome Lisa Jackson back to the State of New Jersey. Jackson previously served as Governor Corzine’s chief of staff as well as commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

“I am thrilled to join women from across New Jersey who took time out of their busy lives today to support the re-election efforts of Jon Corzine and Democrats across the State,” said Jackson. “I am proud to support Jon Corzine because he stands for what matters most to New Jersey’s working families. Today, I am joining women of all backgrounds from every area of the State who recognize that Jon Corzine and Loretta Weinberg are fighting for the issues that are critical to women everywhere; from access to quality health care including mammograms and hospital stays for new mothers to quality education for our children.”

Senate Budget Committee member Steve Oroho, R-Sussex and Hunterdon, said it's disgraceful that the Corzine administration approved a grant of $12 million today under the so-called Special Municipal Aid program without producing the performance audits required by law.
