(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.

Among Voters in New Jersey, G.O.P. Sees Dead People

TRENTON, Sept. 15 - The joke has long been that dead people vote in Hudson County, New Jersey's legendary enclave of machine politics. But now the joke may be on New Jersey, according to a new analysis of voter records by the state's Republican Party.
Comparing information from county voter registration lists, Social Security death records and other public information, Republican officials announced on Thursday that 4,755 people who were listed as deceased appear to have voted in the 2004 general election. Another 4,397 people who were registered to vote in more than one county appeared to have voted twice, while 6,572 who were registered in New Jersey and in one of five other states selected for analysis voted in each state.
At a news conference at the State House, Tom Wilson, the state's party chairman, took pains to say that the analysis did not look at voters' party affiliation. He also said that the party was not accusing voters of committing fraud, suggesting instead that someone else may have exploited their names without their knowledge.
