Here’s hoping that this is the final nail in the coffin for the re-election campaign of possibly the most corrupt governor New Jersey has ever had (and that’s saying a lot!),
Governor Jon Corzine’s Chief of Staff Mark Matzen recently sent out a memo to state workers that urged them to write borderline false statements in support of the Governor’s failed policies that were supposed to create jobs in New Jersey, but has led to the highest rate of unemployment in New Jersey’s recent history. This week, in New Jersey, unemployment climbed to 9.8%, but the Corzine campaign team urged state workers to forge ahead with the crafting of “creative” messages.
The messages, drafted by state workers, to aid the Corzine campaign in his reelection bid are intended to be used as political propoganda to mislead the public into thinking Corzine’s policies are having positive effects on the state of employment in New Jersey.
In the memo, Matzen admittedly confesses “I know that it may be a stretch for some of you, but please be creative”, urging the state workers to write creative marketing material for the Corzine team’s campaign. All of this is being done at the expense of taxpayers. While state workers should be working hard to restore jobs, they have been instructed by Matzen to instead figure out ways to make New Jersey’s current financial dire straits seem appealing to voters.
Matzen’s memo suggests a gross misappropriation of state workers and resources and could prove a costly measure for taxpayers who are now funding the Corzine campaign through taxes paid to state workers urged to work on the project.
Todd Porter said of this memo “It amazes me how low Corzine has gone to garner support. Since he’s unable to create jobs, he’s forcing state working to fabricate stories, or else they might end up like the rest of us, unemployed and clamoring for Jon Corzine’s head.” Porter represents the Jackson Township Republican Club which has been strongly behind the effort to “Take Back New Jersey”.
Wonderful. A sitting governor, encouraging state workers to lie about his record, on the taxpayers’ dime. Unfortunately, this is nothing new. Democrats routinely lie. They lie and lie and lie. How do you know a leftist Democrat is lying? He’s awake and breathing, because even if he’s not actually saying anything, you can be sure he’s hard at work thinking of a lie to tell. This is doubly true of the completely and indescribably corrupt Democrat political machine that dominates the state of New Jersey.
New Jersey is one of the most over-taxed, over-regulated, under-employed states in the union – and the governor is spending the peoples’ hard-earned money in a campaign to get himself re-elected by lying. Classic, truly classic. Instead of trying to bring jobs back into the state by implementing rational economic policies, we have a pure political hit job in action. Why doesn’t Corzine just go all the way and send out a memo asking all state employees to get in touch with their mafia contacts about “leaning” on known Christie supporters?
C’mon New Jersey, time to toss Corzine in N’rk Bay once and for all!
