N.J. Voters Sour Quickly on Gov. Corzine
2006-04-27
If there ever was a political honeymoon for Gov. Jon Corzine, it appears to be over. In his first four months in office, the Democrat has proposed an increase in the sales tax and broken a promise to give homeowners dramatic relief from the highest property taxes in the nation. Corzine's approval ratings have sunk, and fellow Democrats in the Legislature are hesitant to back his budget plan.

"He did a great job as senator. You would just figure it would carry over as governor," said disappointed Democrat Neil Harry Lori, a plumber from Montclair who liked Corzine's liberal record in the Senate, especially his 2002 vote against authorizing President Bush to invade Iraq.

#11  I'm happy to hear that Parabellum - Bryson City just got added to my look at list. I'm sure they'll have a Schooley's type dive there, where I can be a regular.
- Deacon my 1/2 acre is assessed around 150k in my part of NJ, so I'm think I'll do alright down that way, I can live with being a damn Yankee.

#10  [chorus]
When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the petroleum flow.
A sweeter sound, I never did know
The rolling mills of New Jersey.

[chorus]

Down in Trenton, there is a bar
Where the bums come from near and from far
They come by truck, they come by car
The lousy bums of New Jersey

[chorus]

Down in Hoboken, there will be
Trash as far as the eye can see.
Enough for you, enough for me.
The garbage cans of New Jersey.

[chorus]

When first I started to roam,
I travelled far away from Bayonne.
I then sat down, and wrote this poem.
I wrote an ode to New Jersey.

#9  Come on over, Guys and Gals. Bryson City is only about 2 hours away. I have friends there. we could all get together and have a grillin'. Land here goes for about 3 grand an acre and most people think that's a bit high.

#8  Mike, I'm right behind you. Somwhere up in the mountains near Bryson City, I think.

But I'm open minded. Anywhere where buying a pack of smokes doesn't require a trip to the ATM and my car insurance is less than my car payment would be fine.

#7  Heh. JerseyMike follows the example of millions of Mexicans feed up with their government as well. Vamos Muchachos!

#6  People are really starting leave the state in droves. The property tax and car insurance are disgusting. It will never get fixed and it will only get worse as more people leave and the levies increase to cover the loss. My salary is worth around 25% more in NC by my reckoning - not to mention I can buy the exact same house in NC for 1/3 what it is here.
I just need to convince the Mrs. and we're gone.

Sounds like our plumber got exactly what he voted for. If you're looking for someone to blame, go look in the mirror.

#2  Corzine is what you wanted, he what you got NJ:

A rich guy that has no problem telling others how to live and spending THEIR money to do it.

#1  Wow, a Democrat breaking promises on taxes and vacuuming voter's wallets. Who'd a thunk it?
