Corzine Roiled by Amtrak ‘Plan’ – Writes letter to complain

Senator Corzine has been a strong supporter of full funding of Amtrak and has written or co-signed five letters of support to New Jersey’s Governor, congressional appropriators, and the Bush Administration.

In an effort to demonstrate the priority he places on curbing statewide political corruption- Corzine calls for the election of a State Comptroller in 2007.

For too many years, New Jerseyans have come to believe that instead of government of, by and for the people, we have a government of, by and for political contributors*, lobbyists and those who, at every level, pay to play," Mr. Corzine said in his address to undergraduate and graduate students at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.

* Can you believe he has the nerve to say this in public with a straight face?
