Post Election New Jersey

New Jersey became one of the center stage characters of this off year election. The pundits, media commentators, and news inferred to some political consequences. Their behavior becomes divisive and its citizen confused and worse, polarized.

New Jersey's issues are local and domestic. It has nothing to do with the nation as whole, although, the state has suffered from the deep recession.

New Jersey voted for change. It is well and good.

The governor-elect prioritized tax relief, spending cuts and urban education. These are old issues which previous governors, Republican or Democrats, failed to resolve.

The State has too many boroughs and towns with its owns social services.

Our roads and railways are economic pipeline for the State and the nation.

A relief for a New Jerseyans involved a consolidated social services among boroughs/townships and toll roads on most traveled highways.

It is not politically appealing, a bad medicine.

It needs a super-governor. Good luck Governor-elect Christie.

My penny thought...

New Jersey's Governatorial Election

The incumbent governor has both a positive and a negative aspects, like Jekyll and Hyde. He is a victim of the situation. He has the good intention but the corrupt influence pulls him down. It makes the independent candidate a least resistance on Nov. 3rd election. Despite these unfavorable conditions, the Governor pulled off some admirable accomplishment. He is not a politician and a native New Jerseyan will never know that. Native New Jerseyans do not think beyond politics.
