Is that a critique on the idea? Perhaps something substantive about the issue would be more helpful.

Why offer a substantive opinion on something as trivial as this proposal? Codey is a caretaker, a short-timer, a place-filler. He is not going to re-shape the Turnpike Authority between now and the time the clock runs out on his tenure. It is ridiculous for him to even discuss it.

If you want to discuss the merits of privitization, I guess we could do that. But the merits are irrelevant here. Codey does not have the political power to make it happen, or even to push things in a particular direction.

NJ is between Governors right now. If Codey thinks otherwise, he's delusional.

..yes, he's a deluded devil, but they've all had a hard on to raise the gas tax any way they can.

He may be used as a scapegoat to get this through.

N.j. poli-scum are exactly like sex offenders, they can't cured short of six feet of earth.

The chances of enactment may be small, but the concept is not trivial. That's why.

It is ridiculous for him to even discuss it.

Most of the time, important ideas are not discussed by elected officials out of fear of offending some portion of the electorate. They are cowards. This idea may have been raised for the wrong reason, but it is never ridiculous to discuss ideas.

If you want to discuss the merits of privitization, I guess we could do that.

It is really the only thing worth discussing.

"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." And no, that's not a comment about you.

Let's strive for greatness even if we don't achieve.
