Corzine Contrast Continues to Dominate GOP Rhetoric
By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog
It’s a number that you’ll be hearing a lot between now and November (unless it grows, in which case add a few thousand). It represents the amount of private-sector jobs created since February 2010, the first full month of the Christie Administration.
Like the rest of his party this cycle, the GOP Assembly caucus’s budget officer is betting on voters’ ability to appreciate the historical contrast:
No matter how much some politicians want our policies to fail, there is no way to refute the fact that our state has created nearly 128,000 jobs since February 2010, which is remarkable considering that our state lost 115,700 jobs in the last year that Jon Corzine and his allies were in charge of state government.”
The road is long. O’Scanlon, an Assemblyman representing New Jersey’s 13th legislative district, is one of the few GOP incumbents to face a primary challenge this June.
