(TRENTON, NJ) – Gubernatorial candidate Doug Forrester today called on Jon Corzine to fully disclose the details surrounding a vote in the Senate that earned Corzine millions of dollars.
“Jon Corzine voted to bail out Japanese bank underwriters at a cost of millions of dollars to U.S. taxpayers. It’s disturbing to learn he was one of a tiny handful who made millions of dollars of the vote.”
Despite extensive briefing by the Department of Treasury and Committee on Taxations, Corzine claims that he had no knowledge that he stood to earn approximately $5 million by casting a vote to give him and his business partners a tax break in March 2004.

From today's Asbury Park Press:
TRENTON — More than 4,000 votes were cast under the names of dead New Jerseyans in last November's election, and nearly 11,000 more people appear to have voted twice, according to state Republicans who say they fear election fraud when voters choose a new governor.
Aw c'mon.....give the guy a break......how was he supposed to notice 5 million ?????- just pocket change.........( last person out of NJ ===please turn off the lights ).....
And sadly, this unethical bastidge will STILL get elected governor of one of the dumbest, most corrupt states in the union. BUT the biggest things I hate about NJ are that I was born here and my family lives here, so I ain't going anywhere!

New Jersey - Corruption and Scandal BUMP LIST
Pretty pathetic. These dem politicos do this kind of stuff all the time. The Big Dig earned Kerry and Kennedy lots of dough too and nobody seems to care.
The unfortuante souls in New Jersey are faced by a Devil's Choice - Corzine - a typical left-wing, multi-millionaire limouisine liberal, and Forrester - a social liberal and fiscal conservative who is bankrolled by Lewis Einsenberg - the same guy who supported Chrissie Whitman and set up a PAC to defeat conservative Republicans and replace them with liberal Republicans.
New Jersey could very well wind up another Massachusetts or Maryland.
How else is he going to pay for some vote/contract buying bimbo's apartment if he can't even vote windfalls for himself. Come on--give the guy a break. After all, I have had heard any of his voter constiuents complaining (from beneath their memorial head stones).
Actually we need a new MSM poll (yeah right). Who is more corrupt, LA Dem politicains or NJ Dem Politicians? I suspect, even odds in Vegas.
same here. If it was any more corrupt it would be called Louisanna
This will be interesting, but how about asking him about the 4500 dead people from Hudson County who voted for frenchie in 2004? Remember W cut his losing margin in the Garden State from 16% in 2000 to 6% in 2004. How much better would he have done without Democrat voter fraud? That's just one county. The rodents control most of the upper half of the state and all of the big population centers. If the NJ GOP can plug these holes Doug can win. Without voter fraud the evil donkey can not win in a growing number of districts.
Gosh I hate this state.
BUMP
This is the same NJ press corp that wouldn't report about McGreevy's lover getting a job that would put him in change of the state's homeland security. There doesn't exist one press report on why Cipel was given that job. They only reported on it when the Gov gave them permission.
I'd like to see a good invetigative reporter do a book on McGreevy.
