CAPUTO BLUFFS US AGAIN

Jon Corzine’s Political Best Friend Is No Friend to the Unemployed

Belleville-Republican Assembly candidate Andrew Bloschak blasted lifelong public employee and quadruple-dipper Ralph Caputo for his latest masquerade as champion of New Jersey’s unemployed. Caputo, who holds two jobs when many New Jerseyans can’t find one, made ill-informed and utterly ridiculous statements about Chris Christie hurting unemployed New Jerseyans in a Democratic press release yesterday. Bloschak, a General Motors employee, whose company fleed New Jersey’s outrageous taxes, found the comments particularly troubling.

Assemblyman Ralph Caputo (D-Belleville) was one of four Democratic legislators to bash GOP gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie for opposing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which they say could have cost unemployed New Jerseyans $200 million in extended unemployment benefits.

"New Jersey families who are unemployed are struggling to make ends meet, yet Christie would refuse more than $200 million in federal stimulus funding that is a direct lifeline for these families in need," Caputo said in a statement released by the Democratic State Committee.  "Hardworking New Jerseyans who through no fault of their own have already suffered the loss of their job and income deserve support, not Christie's bloated rhetoric and Bush policies that would have devastating impacts on their future."

But Republicans had a good comeback to the use of Caputo as a surrogate, pointing out Caputo's two public offices.

"The irony of state Democrats preaching about unemployment that's climbed to a 32 year high on their watch is only matched by the insensitivity of Assemblyman Ralph Caputo," said Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the Republican State Committee.  "While struggling, out-of-work New Jerseyans continue looking for jobs that Governor Corzine has lost, Caputo sits on the sidelines collecting two paychecks as a county freeholder and state assemblyman.  How much more out of touch can you be?"

CAPUTO/TUCKER/COUTINHO/SPENCER SLAM CHRISTIE’S
REJECTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS TO HELP
OUT-OF-WORK NEW JERSEYANS

(BLOOMFIELD) – Assembly members Ralph Caputo (D-Belleville), Cleopatra Tucker (D-Essex), Albert Coutinho (D-Essex) and Grace Spencer (D-Essex) today joined local elected officials and unemployed North Jersey residents to take Bush Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie to task for aligning with prominent Bush Republican governors to reject billions of dollars in federal funding from President Barack Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
