At the Federal level the Obama administration is looking for the government to take over more and more services and thus more and more of the workforce. Bad idea for any number of reasons, but here’s a good one. Despite all the talk about new efficiencies in, say, health insurance, government is intrinsically more expensive.
…that politicians wanted people to pay! Actually, it is the one year anniversary of a sweep of white collar and political criminals in NJ’s notorious Hudson County that netted 25 people, most of whom were current or former Democrat elected officials (the only kind in Hudson County). “Operation Bid Rig” caught, among others, Leona Beldini, a former [...] New Jersey continues to be a learning experience for the rest of the country. GOP Governor Christie not only got the Democrat-controlled legislature to pass a balanced budget that cut spending rather than raise taxes, he forced them back into session over the July Fourth weekend until they gave him a bill capping property taxes [...] Trenton, NJ – Governor Chris Christie today signed into law the Fiscal Year 2011 Appropriations Act, enacting a spending plan that closes an unprecedented $11 billion deficit without raising taxes.

Talk about a “Jersey Guy”! NJ Governor Chris Christie has declined to re-appoint NJ Supreme Court Justice John Wallace. Wallace is a prime example of the ultra-liberal justice that, with votes on things like mandatory affordable housing and directing most school funding to urban districts, has helped bankrupt the state. But he is also Afro-American and from the same county as [...] Two U.S. governors named Chris have very different methods of addressing their respective states’ budget deficits. Both states are looking at shortfalls of over $2 billion. Gov. Chris Gregoire proposes enacting a myriad of tax increases on everything from cigarettes to candy, while freezing wages for non-unionized state employees and other minor spending restraints. Gov. Chris [...] New Jersey’s Governor Chris Christie must be following the economic news from Greece.

Perhaps tiring of New Jersey jokes, Governor Christie this week handed down a stiff freeze on spending. Announcing the freeze on $1.6 billion of unspent money, Mr. [...] |
