Profiles of Courage
The brave politicians in the NJ legislature have, to no one’s surprise, passed a law that takes away the rights of voters to subject the Morgan Stanley taxpayer bailout to a vote. According to the Associated Press, “New Jersey voters would not be able to have their say on projects paid for by state economic stimulus funds under a law passed lawmakers this week. The state Senate and Assembly on Monday passed bills that would prohibit residents from voting through local referendums on projects using state stimulus money.” Now its up to Governor Christie to see where he stands on the tax rebates for Morgan Stanley, and taking away our right to vote.
Hopefully the Governor will listen to Senator Mike Doherty, who made a strong statement against the Morgan Stanley bailout. Listen to his statement here: senate.mp3
North Jersey Senator and political machine boss Ray Lesniak will be in AC on April 5 at 11 am for the dog and pony show “to allow public input on a proposal to allow sports betting at casinos.”
Where: AC Convention Center, Room 411 Atlantic City
When: 11:00 am
Sidekick Jim Whelan will surely be joining him. Let’s greet the Senators and show them how much we appreciate their unabashed contempt for our right to vote on the Morgan Stanley bailout!
