GOVERNOR CORZINE, APPARENTLY MADONNA IS NOT COMING TO YOUR FUNDRAISER.

We wonder what Senator Weinberg, Assembly members Johnson and Huttle have to say about Governor Corzine yet another example of mismanagement of State agencies reporting to him. After dispelling a myth of being a Financial Wizard and the Hold Me Accountable, Governor Corzine has just dispelled another myth that he is an executive manager smoothly managing his administration and state agencies under his supervision.  

The New York State’s inspector general just issued a scathing report on corruption in the bi-state Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor. Its commissioner Michael Madonna was quietly fired by Governor Corzine last week. However, not before he filed for another state pension in recognition of his services to the State of New Jersey. He already receives $87,000 for his work as a police officer.  

Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz, Republican candidate for Assembly in District 37, repeats his call to Governor Corzine, State Senator Loretta Weinberg, and Assembly members Gordon Johnson and Valerie Vainieri Huttle to immediate convene an emergency State legislative session to deal with corruption issues among state employees and public officials. 

As a Taxpayer advocate, I would suggest the following three reform steps to begin: 

1)      Any convicted politician of a felonious offense or worse automatically forfeits all of their State Pension and their Health Care Coverage during Retirement.

2)      Regardless of what age that they retire, no government worker or politician can begin collecting their state pension or health care before the age of 60.

3)      The Yearly Pension Benefit received should be based on the Average of Each Year worked and not just the past Three or Five Years. This would end the current patronage practice from Democratic political machines that inflate retirement benefits by giving a high paying job at the end of the working years.  

Governor Corzine had a chance to bring about meaningful Pension and Health Care reform two years ago - instead he vetoed the legislation that would have achieved it. Governor Corzine, State Senator Loretta Weinberg, and Assembly members Gordon Johnson and Valerie Huttle still have not told the voters what they would do regarding this impending state crisis.  Despite the fact that Governor Corzine has been the Governor for more than three and half years, Weinberg has been in the State Legislature since 1992, Johnson in the State Assembly since 2001 and Huttle in the State Assembly since 2005, this anti-Taxpayer slate still has no concrete plan to solve New Jersey's looming fiscal deficit that they helped create. 

New Jersey can no longer afford to have Jon Corzine as Governor and Loretta Weinberg as Lieutenant Governor or return Assembly members Gordon Johnson and Valerie Huttle to the Legislature given their disastrous anti-Taxpayer records.
