Governor Jon Corzine

Governor Corzine has not responded to repeated requests for meetings with CAT representatives. He claims that he is strong on government efficiency; yet, he apparently fails to recognize the Parkway tolls as the unfair tax that they are! We are extremely disappointed that he has failed to speak out on this issue; and, no matter how busy his schedule might be, it would seem that he would at least have had a moment to respond to the comprehensive amount of information we have supplied - several times over - to his office. We can only hope that he will change his posture on this issue and recognize that removal of Parkway tolls is long overdue!

Accomplishments so far:

Raised the sales tax AND applied it to more services.

Shut down non-essential government services to save money, then paid everyone anyway. Dear Governor - How did giving all the government employees a free paid vacation help the budget?


NJ's Recent Governors

Codey - Legacy: Politics as usual (the corruption continues).

McGreevey - Legacy: Sex, lies, and more NJ jokes. And now a book! During his campaign, he promised to remove the tolls in 7 years. But soon after he was sworn in, he abruptly altered his promise and reneged on his toll plan. He also promised things like property tax relief, to reduce the state's debt burden, and to "end politics as usual", and we all know how that turned out (...OK, he did end politics as usual).

Whitman - Spent half a billion dollars to keep tolls in New Jersey. Legacy: She thought spending $488 million on 5 mph E-ZPass was the answer to the congestion nightmare, and she thought cheaters would pay for it. While E-ZPass moved cars a little faster than tokens, it burdened us with a debt nightmare. Not only didn't they catch enough cheaters to pay for it, catching them cost more than they collected! And now all we're left with is E-ZPass and higher debt, which makes it tougher to remove tolls.
