We've got Joe Cryan's back

Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan issued a statement yesterday slamming Republican legislators for their “closed-minded posture” on Governor Jon Corzine’s proposed toll hikes – or “finance reforms” as Cryan calls them. As a convenience to Cryan, PolitickerNJ.com has used his statement as a template for two more press releases, relating to U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg and State Sen. John Adler.

Assemblyman Cryan Condemns Republicans For Closed-Minded Posture On FinanceReforms

GOP Legislators Are Ignoring The Crisis, Demeaning The Debate & Disrespecting Constituents With 'Pledge of Irresponsibility'

Trenton - Assemblyman
Joseph Cryan issued the following statement on Thursday condemning Republican legislators for their "pledge to ignore the state's long-term financial crisis:"

"This is the time when all of us who serve the public good should be responding to Governor Corzine's financial reform plan with an open mind, a responsible debate and fair consideration. Instead, the Republicans are turning their backs on the looming fiscal crisis and they are closing their minds to realistic solutions.

"Taking a pledge to ignore the state's long-term financial problems is like promising to be irresponsible. They are being disrespectful to their constituents and they are demeaning the debate on one of the most significant problems the State of New Jersey has encountered. The only thing they are contributing to is the public's cynicism and its low regard of the Legislature. In fact, it is this type of thinking that has perpetuated the state's fiscal problems.

"No one likes to make the hard decisions needed to restore fiscal sanity and most everyone can find something in the plan they don't like, but the plan deserves fair consideration and the public deserves better."
