Jon Corzine’s Accomplishments
We have probably written more about Jon Corzine than any source with the exception of the Senator’s PR folks, but we have been taking some heat for being too hard on the guy. To be fair we would like to post about the Senator’s accomplishments while serving the people of New Jersey. Unfortunately, we can’t find any.
As our regular readers know we like facts and we would appreciate receiving links to facts that would help us fill in the blank space under each of the two statements below. Any facts we receive with links to reputable sources will be used to complete this post.
Jon Corzine has accomplished the following in the U.S. Senate since being sworn into office January 2001:

You have to understand that this is kinda like his hobby. It's not like he really has to do anything, but it makes him feel good about himself (like basket weaving in mental wards) by keeping himself busy putzing around with our money....hey, he gets to shake hands and have people kiss his ass on the political circuit and tell him how wonderful he is, he can get all liquored up and discuss his deep poltical thoughts and angst with his political groupies....all great fun....I understand he is no longer against the gas tax after the "unions" talked to him...
Back on June 15th, on my blog I worte about this issue. What I found was
"I can find Chemical Security Act, Healthy start Acts, Sarbanes-Oxely help, Resident Work Hours. Oh, and he is the lead Senate sponser of the massive land grab called the Highlands Conservation Act. To be fair, he did get initial funding for a study of a new Hudson River Tunnel.
All in all, I can find little that Corzine did to bring money back to NJ."

On the issues that he voted on, he voted the way that I would have. Seems like Tami-appropriate representation to me.
As pointed out in a previous post Englighten stated: "...Senate Democrats held out for a funding formula written by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) that ensured funding would be spread around to all states, regardless of risk.... Senators Corzine and Lautenberg voted in favor of the bill based upon the Leahy homeland security funding formula that produced a cut in New Jersey’s allocation."
-I guess you then Tami agree with the way he voted
Corzine Haiku:
Sound of crickets far away
hushed silence of voting record.
Funny. His voting record is more like selling a car to buy gasoline.
When I read the bill that Corzine voted "yes" for that contained the Leahy funding formula, I see words about ensuring privacy and funding states rather than funding local entities. I do not see it spelled out that "if this bill passes, NJ gets less money". In fact, I see a *lot* in the ammendments about privacy. If I were reading this bill and voting on it, yes, I would have voted the same way.
I understand Corzine is being treated at an undisclosed medical facility in northern New Jersey for whiplash injuries suffered in a collision at the corner of union and labor avenues when he suddenly reversed his position on the gas tax.
Well, maybe Corzine should read the bills that he votes yea on more carefully and follows up better on them like some of his New York compatriots. It seems to me that the gentlemen does not put in the requisite time and homework into his office that he should. He certainly put more than enough money into it. But then again, as he said himself, he gave up on this lesser federal position (though not the presidency) because it would take too long for him to be head of a committee. Life is tough.
HE IS A UNITED STATES SENATOR!!! Let me spell this out to you... the issues he helps legislate are on a larger scale than New Jersey.
If you are looking to see which laws he voted and didn't vote then visit

This will explain what he stands for. Surely, the values that were consistent in his voting behavior will carry through to his term as governor.
When he'll become the next Govenor of New Jeresy, he'll propose/pass laws that are exclusive to NEW JERSEY.
AM I GOING TO FAST FOR YOU?
Now, What exactly has Doug Forrestor done for New Jeresy... oh nothing... he's a hack... and will never serve office in New Jersey.
If you would like to learn more about the goverment, both state and federal, I suggest you enrolling in a poly sci course.
Ken,
We can discuss the Senator’s voting record if you’d like, but we were asking for Corzine’s accomplishments. Perhaps it would help if we defined the term so we are all clear on the meaning as used in this post.
Accomplishment - Something completed successfully; an achievement.
Now if you don’t believe a Senator can have accomplishments that are advantageous to the people of the state he or she represents – okay, just concentrate on the first question that is less specific.
For NJ and the United States:
We have more than 100 facilities nationwide that store large amounts of lung-melting or other lethal chemicals that are located near communities of at least 1 million people.
Sen Corzine introduced a law that will beef up security at unguarded chemical plants. The Senate unanimously passed a resolution this past Thursday.
Put it up for both.
More to follow.
For New Jersey...
Improved New Jersey Mass Transit
Over his four years in Washington, he successfully argued for more than $410 million for Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and more than $100 million for Newark-Elizabeth Light Rail. His advocacy for the tunnel project led the Department of Transportation to release millions in planning funds slated for the project. In addition, he secured $4.7 million in new funds to conduct the environmental assessments necessary for construction to begin.
shouldnt everybody vote the way they would have even if they're prsident governor or a senate. That aint an accomplishment but its still good that he did. Go head Corzine!!!!!!!!
It is very important that we can find useful information that can help us decided on which candidate we will vote in any election.
There seems http://easyslimgb.com to be something http://dropweightgb.com a bit off, though, as the sounds they http://thinningquick.com make are positively demonic in nature.
Nice idea friend, love it.
