“I concluded a long time ago that local newspapers are no longer written for the type of people who read local newspapers.”
Yes, they don’t have much influence at this point. As everywhere else, fewer people are getting their news from the print media; in NJ, that is compounded by the exodus of English-speakers from the state. Years ago when I would get telemarketing calls from the Star-Ledger or New York Times, I would actually tell the caller which recent political endorsement would prevent me from ever buying their papers again...
Christie has all the right enemies; he is doing something right. While he is favorite target of many FReepers, I only consider criticisms from those living in NJ; I don’t think others understand how out-of-hand our problems with the teachers’ unions were before, and how he has cut them off at the knees with his tax cap.
Those unions are the real owners of the Democratic Party; their hatred of him is telling.
Proof that Crispy is running for president (or at least considering it). He knows signing this bill won’t go over well with primary voters nationwide. I suspect otherwise he would sign it.
